Genuine and exciting trip into the Okavanga!
We booked a 3-day camping trip via Shipungo where we had a tour operator, two other mokoro drivers and a chef. The team was absolutely excellent, and we cannot recommend them enough. Special thanks to Hello, Junior and Lucky! Shipungo was clear on pick up place and time, and the overall itinerary for the trip. Even though there was early communication on this front, the actual itinerary differed slightly, so we think Shipungo could work closer with the folks who were facilitating our trip to ensure it was a bit more clear. Overall, value for money was high - as we felt the food was excellent, the tent and sleeping arrangement comfortable, and the walking trips and boat trips were well worth it. The company was very easy to get in touch with via email and then via WhatsApp in the days before our trip. It is possible we did not ask enough questions before - hence the slight difference in itinerary vs. actual trip. Overall I would recommend the tour and think Shipungo did a good job of getting us a nice driver, chef and tour guide. Thank you very much!

Very exclusive experience, very nice and competent staff.
We did a four days, three nights safari in Okavango Delta and Moremi Game reserve.
We booked only one month in advance and the team was very quick to help us organise, very flexible and responsive.
The experience was amazing. The camps were very comfortable, the food was great, the guides and the staff were very experienced and showed us a lot of things.
We faced a car breakdown and the team was quick to send another vehicle and mechanics on the spot.
We could not do the boat tour because of a breakdown as well. This was replaced by a nice game drive.
We were not expecting such a long transfer from Okavango Delta to Moremi game reserve. We would suggest that clients are told in advance about the length of transfers so that they can reflect on whether they want to keep the format of the trip as is or adjust it to have less transfers (e.g. only going to Moremi). It did not impact our experience as such but maybe to have it in mind if you travel with kids for example.
Otherwise it was a very amazing experience. Recommend 100%.

Very very nice
I’m Jacopo from Italy
We choose a trip with Shibungo on August 2024 for 4 people.
The experience was great and also the organisation
We visited Chobe river Chobe national park Savuti Moremi game reserve , okavango delta with scenic flight and experience of mokoro.
We also visited the zone of baobab and 1 night under the star .
The organisation was great and also the tent are very very big , the shower and wc experience are fun.
They are very good for the nature experience and for the animals.
The dinner and lunch are always very good.
Thanks a lot

Reliable, fast, practica and well organized
I THINK THE QUALITY - PRICE RATIO IS GOOD CONSIDERING THE SERVICE RECEIVED. THE COMUNICATION WITH THE AGENCY WAS PUNCTUAL AND CLEAR. THE TEAM THAT FOLLOWED US HAS ALWAY PROVEN TO BE RELIABLE, KIND AND PUNCTUAL.

The crew of Shipungo Safari & Tours was exceptional, accommodating and knowledgeable.
Being from South Africa originally, our bar is set high because we have been on so many safaris before. Kem, our guide for our journey was exceptional. Kem made sure to get us to a sighting that was shared over the radio communication system so we had sightings, such as Wild dogs, that we have never had before. He was also very knowledgeable. We have learned so much from him. Back at camp, Shine and Ody, took care of everything, from setting up our campsite to providing us with delicious meals. They were all very courteous and our camp accommodation was also very comfortable. We had a safari of a lifetime!

Fantastic safari operator in Maun
We’ve lived and worked on and off in Africa for the last 20 years, now back in the US, former Botswana residents and familiar with safari offerings. In short, Shipungo is outstanding. Two adults and three kids, we had a couple days free in Maun and went back to back days with Shipungo on day safaris to Moremi NP and mokoro ride / hike in the Okavango Delta. The trips were wonderful. Our guide from Shipungo was extremely knowledgeable about Moremi and the sightings were outstanding. He went the extra mile, all day, to make it a great experience. The mokoro trip in the Okavango is probably the best one day trip my family has ever experienced, and we’re in Africa frequently. Again knowledgeable and friendly guides, and fabulous lunches, even took care of a gluten free issue for one of us, perfectly. Easy to deal with, great service. We’ll be back with Shipungo next time we’re in Botswana.

A wildly good time
Fantastic camping experience in the Okavango Delta. Great communications online, picked up on time, a very knowledgeable and clever wildlife guide/tracker (Matt), beautiful camp set-up, lovely support staff and great food. We enjoyed our trip immensely.

Amazing staff who clearly love animals and their jobs and giving the client a fabuolous experience
From first communications with Mark we knew we were going to have a fantastic time. His willingness to adapt the Safari to start at Victoria falls and end in Maun made it so much easier for us. We cannot thank Kem, Shy, KG and Left enough. Kem's knowledge of the animals and the committment to ensure we saw and understood as much as possible was outstanding. We saw a different lion pride every day ( 42 in total), 5 leopards including two in the campsite which the guides made sure we were safe, a cheetah, hundreds of elephants, too many giraffes to count and hippos galore. We also saw hyena's and their puppies and wild dogs and their pups. Kem always seemed to have us in the right spot at the right time and knew when to stay for a bit extra to see some extraordinary sights. Shy's cooking was delicious. The camp setup was so much better than expected with proper beds and great bathrooms. Highly recommend this company for anyone wanting a mobile camping safari.
