Excellent Customer Service
The coordinator of the tour company came to see us and made sure of our location before the tours began. The tour guides were excellent and pick up and drop off times were respected. An overall wholesome experience is obtained. i would strongly recommend them.

Fantastic Game drive in Moremi
For a safari through the Moremi Game Reserve we can highly recommend Shipungo Safari & Tours with its guide and driver Thata. It was wonderful and nature sensitive, we learned a lot about the local animals and plants. We had a very nice experience and saw a lot without disturbing the wild animals too much. We can only recommend this company.
Great Days at Moremi
We booked a 3 days (2 nights) camping safari with Shipoungo Safaris into Moremi GR. Cedric our guide was excellent and we had a great time on safari. Our camp was set at Xakanaxa camp site. The catering was also very good. We were quite impressed with the "bushfix" of the camping trailer which broke down on our way to camp. These people know what they are doing!

Excellent
Without doubt it was the best tour I did in Botswana. The guide is great, they are super punctual, the tour was great, pleasant, all very well organized. Without a doubt, would do it again with this agency and recommend it to everyone. Whenever I am in Maun this will be the travel agency of my choice. Recommended A ++++++

Beautyful Boat Trip in the Okawango Delta with an experienced guide
Good communication with guide and Touroperator.
Touroperator came for briefing and debriefing.
Very attentive and recomendable.
3 days in Okavango Delta very well organized with no time lost and lot of animals seen !
Communications was really good and smooth. We spent 3 days in Okavango Delta with my daughters and my wife. It was our 1st experience in the amazing region. We choose: 1/ 1 day game drive at Moremi Game park, very long day with lot of animals, 2/ 1 day Mokoro experience, very local experience, be careful with the sun, 3/ 1 day Motor boat full day in Delta, few animals but very beautiful scenary with a very impressive driver in the Delta "water" roads!!.
If we would have to do it again, we will spend one more day at Moremi Game Park: this park is really big and you can not see most of it in only day.

Mark was very kind to arrange a last-minute tour for us.
Overall we had a good experience. The safari vehicle certainly felt every bump! Kem, our guide for the day, took good care of us and showed us a lot of animals. We are unused to the constant radio contact between drivers and converging on the same spots, but it did mean having close-up views of a cheetah and many lions. We had value for our money.

Excellent communication upfront, timely pick up.
Shipungo Travels wa a very reliable partner as we had to plan our trip from Kenya. Their offer was fair and they kept it valid until short notice (we wanted to wait and see how the weather in Ocavago was at the planned days). The communication upfront was excellent. We were picked up very punctually, the vehicle was in excellent condition. All was well planned. Some minor improvements in the equipment - and staff (The main guide was extremeley knowledgeable and experienced but his English language skills basic so that we could not understand a lot of the information provided. Pity!

NIce people but really poor equipment
We took a 3 day Central Kalahari Game Reserve trip with Shipungo. The three people that came with us, Kem the guide, Kem the chef and slo, were very nice and helpful. The food was excellent, and the tent/camping was fine.
However, the vehicle was old and bad un condition. The roof rattled horribly the whole time. It was not suited to pull the trailer, so we got stuck in the sand, and then the trailer kept falling off. On the way back the main tank ran out of petrol and the driver could not switch to the second one, so we waited 2 hours for them to bring petrol.
Since the team was really nice, if you are considering them, ask about the vehicle. They may/should have replaced it.
