Fabulous trip!
I am just back from a 13-day trip to Nxai Pan, Chobe and the Okavango Delta.
I did not choose a glamping trip on purpose, so I was very pleasantly surprised by the high level of service and attention to detail by the company and crew. All our needs were attended to with speed, courtesy and forethought. The food sometimes reached gourmet level.
The tents were comfortable and outfitted with a bathroom extension featuring a chemical toilet and bucket shower. And the truck was as comfortable as can be expected on dirt and sand roads that are terrible even under the best of conditions.
I was astounded by the variety of wildlife we encountered. I hesitate to mention this as not everyone will be as lucky, but we spotted more than 25 lions (two of which were nursing cubs), a few leopards (including cubs) and more elephants, giraffes, hippos and antelope than I can recall. At one point, our driver, Solly, followed lion tracks directly to two huge males that were lolling in the grasses.
While there were two long traveling days that were NOT high on my list of highs, I cannot recommend this trip and this company enough. I am sure that my traveling companions - whom I did not meet until this trip - would agree. This was their 13th trip to Africa, and eight of them have been with Penduka.

A knowledgeable operator providing memorable experiences with a sense of humor and fabulous service.
We have gone with Penduka three times and have just booked our fourth safari with them. From the outset their service has been exemplary. Their leader has an invaluable sense of humor. The food they serve is delicious and filling. Plus, on occasion, a member of our party requested an alternative and they made it appear as if it were No problem.
They definitely know the area and take you to where the animals are.
Our first trip was my husband and I. We joined a group. The second was my husband, son, his fiance, and myself. The last time I put together a group of 17, friends & family. In July there will be a group of 22 friends and family who will go with them.
It is nice to know that this is an outfit I can trust to provide everyone a wonderful experience.

Knowledgable ,interesting, great sense of humour, best camp food. Done 5 trips with Penduka.
I have traveled with Willem, Cowboy and Segal on 5 trips, from Chobe, to Central Kalahari, even to Zambia and Namibia.. I come back to travel with Penduka, because each time I learn more.. I love the sounds and the smells of the bush.. I feel like one can face life in a better place..
