One of the greatest experiences of my life
This was my first time on a safari and Naga Safaris made it an unforgettable one. The food was great, the tents were cozy and there were showers and toilets that could be accessed whenever you want since it was attached to the tent. Also the fact that we were in the middle of the park surrounded by wild animals while sleeping just made the experience that much better. Thank you Tenzen for a great experience!

Amazing experience
A local Safari company which has an amazing camp and professional guides. The food is made by their cooks, and it is really tasty. The guides are very nice, and they can find animals far away. We found a lion and wild dogs because of them. At night, you can hear the animals in your little camp. They provide hot water for shower, and each camp has a toilet.

Experienced Operator
On June 2016 I returned to Botswana for my second Safari in Botswana, and once again I booked my trip with Naga Safaris. My first trip to Botswana was in 2012 also with Naga Safaris and was so happy and satisfied with their expertise and knowledge that I decided to use them once again.
Their staff is very experienced, from guide to camp assistant to cook. It makes it a remarkable experience and have good knowledge of best sites for camping and finding game.

Experience of a lifetime
I cannot put into words that fully describe the unbelievably amazing experience I had in Botswana with Naga Safaris. Every single aspect of it was wonderful, from the very experienced and knowledgeable guide, to the kind and attentive camp assistants and the very talented cook. I would 100% recommend and also repeat the truly remarkable experience I had with Naga Safaris.

Amazing experience with a lovely and very professionnal team !
We spent 2 days in Moremi and the trip will be probably one of our best memory of our travel in Namibia and Bostwana. We did a lot of game drives there with a very kind and helpful team. The camp was surrounded with elephants, confortable with very good food!We hope to go back for another safari !

Camping in Botswana = Adventure!
Recently we had the pleasure of having a participation camping safari with Naga in July. During out planning months in advance, we had a very hard time finding the safari that would cater to what we wanted to do and experience. Short of doing a self driven tour, we knew we wanted to be camping in the bush without all the luxury of a catered service or a lodge, and with a knowledgeable guide. We finally came across Naga which had exactly what we were looking for.
Communication up to the actual safari was great and punctual. We had a lot of questions in regards to logistics and they were answered. They were even able to customize the route we needed from Maun to Kasane. They even helped with a transfer we needed from Kasane to Victoria Falls.
Our guide was KG who quite literally was the best. Easy to talk to, very knowledgeable of everything we asked, and his timing and sense of where to find wild life were precise. Every other group we ran across seemed to know KG and respect his experience. Mpho was a helper with the supplies, and KB was a guide in training along for the safari as well. The type of safari we did had us camping and preparing our own meals. No cook, no waiter...just sitting on a chair, under the light of the moon, near the heat of the fire...camping.
Our 7 day trip was mapped out after we had told Naga the sites we wanted to see and the places we wanted to go. We went through the Okavango delta for the mokoro ride, Moremi game reserve, Khwai concession, Savuti in Chobe, Ihaha in Chobe, then dropped off in Kasane. There were some non-scheduled encounters along the way, but that is part of the experience of camping in the bush and I do not for one second regret the decision. Our truck along with others was stuck in a deep sandy area and needed to be towed out by another truck. Our last camp site was occupied by another safari who "mistakenly" took our better site for their own. KG handled every situation masterfully and we felt completely assured under his tutelage.
From beginning to end, the safari was an experience of a lifetime and I thank Naga for being able to share this experience with me. I would definitely use again and recommend friends.

Wonderful safari with a wonderful crew!
We (a group of 7) had a wonderful safari experience with Naga Safaris: KG turned out to be an outstanding guide, with good knowledge of the wild mammals and birds. The cooks and camp assistants did a great job too: excellent food and very comfortable tents (with 'en-suite' toilets and bush showers) added to an unforgettable experience.
Mavis and Lesley answered to all e-mails very quickly and did a great job in making a tailor-made safari according to our wishes and demands.
A lot of value for your money! I will certainly choose for Naga Safaris again if I make a second visit to Botswana. A special 'thank you' to our guide KG: a warm person with good sense of humour, and with a passion for wildlife and nature. He lifted the wonderful safari to an even higher level!

Unforgetable 9 Day Mobile Camping Safari with Naga - Botswana at its best
A friend and I organised as customised 9 day mobile camping safari from Kasane to Maun via Chobe Waterfront, Savuti, Moremi Game Reserve and the Okavango Delta. We had looked around at other operators (including larger group tours), and Naga offered us the best value.
Mavis and Leslie were responsive during the booking process.
Our guide Moscow was knowledgeable and enthusiastic throughout the trip.
Our cook Rose was amazing - somehow able to cook incredible breakfasts, lunches and dinners on a camp fire whilst we moved from location to location.
Kando (mechanic) and Kay (waitress/general assistant) were hardworking and friendly.
The team even helped organised to get my luggage to me after it was lost in transit through Johannesburg.
The trip was all inclusive (except for tips) and was well organised but there were a few small hitches. Our tour included a transfer from our hotel in Livingstone (Zambia), but there was some miscommunication between Naga and their Zambian transfer agency which left us waiting at our hotel for a few hours. On the fifth day we had a number of issues with our vehicle, including the wheel of our trailer falling off. On both occasions the Naga staff worked hard to make the best of the situation.
Highlights of the trip included:
- incredible wildlife (we saw lions on three occasions, 1 leopard, wild dogs, buffalo, a lot of elephant, giraffe, antelope, hippos, crocs and far too many others to name).
- camping out in the open, Naga have access to some amazing unfenced campsites in the various national parks and game reserves through BOGA (Botswana Guiding Association)
- Mokoro (canoe) rides through the Okavango Delta
I would recommend Naga Safaris to anyone looking for a mobile camping experience in Botswana!
