gorgeous tour
My third trip to Botswana and this time I did it with the family owned Sekanka Safaris.
Directly after arrival in Maun I started with a scenic flight over the Okavango Delta giving a wonderful overview of the landscape.
After 3 days of home accommodation in Maum we flew to Kasane first staying in Waterlily Hotel, a good stay for Chobe Boat Cruises with a small boat (much better than the big ones!) spotting buffalos, crocodils, hippos, giraffes, many birds and elephants bathing and at the end highlighted by incredible sunsets. Next we stay in Pamarah Hotel enjoying the pleasant accommodation, delicious meals and nice service. One day we started an outstanding tour to Victoria Falls, the next day we experienced vulpture feeding, Old Victoria Hotel and the Zambesi River Cruise on the signature deck with extraordinary snacks and drinks which I would really recommend for relaxing after a long day. After these days we enjoyed again the outstanding wildlife in Chobe Bush Camp and Elephant Sands what gave me the most wonderful memories. On our tour back to Maun another highlight was the Meerkat experience in Makgadikgadi salt pan beeing so close to these cute small animals.
Perfect itenery, nice accommodtions and fantastic game drives with experienced guides made this holiday a long lasting memory and it was hard to find back to normal life afterwards.

The company is extremely reliable and I strongly recommend his services.
Sekanka tours
We had a nine days tour from Victoria Falls to Maun in June 2024 with Sekanka Tours.
The weather was great at this time of the year.
The trip was very well organized. Nice accommodation including the quality of the tents with comfort and safety. Good food and excellent guide.
We had the chance to see many kinds of wild animals. Amazing views. Good assistance during the tour planning and flexibility.
The negative aspect to point out is the quality of the both cars used along the expedition. Cars were very old and uncomfortable compared to most of other company's cars we met along the way.
My conclusion is that Sekanka offered us much more than a safari. Actually we were immersed in a great expedition and a unforgettable experience.
The company is extremely reliable and I strongly recommend his services.

Fantastic
Everything was great from the first quote until we sadly had to come home. Anna catered to all my wants and wishes and made a great intinary travelling round victoria falls and Botswana. All the guides were great especially Pepe and Matcha. We were very lucky to be able to see some fantastic sights and animals. Would definitely recommend sekanka for any Botswana trip due to communication, choose your own itinerary and value for money. Time to start saving to go again.

sekanka is a great safari operator
I recently booked a safari with Sekanka and was absolutely thrilled with the experience. They planned and organized the entire tour superbly. I was picked up from the airport in Maun for a 2-day stay. The adventure started with a breathtaking aerial view of the landscape and wildlife from a small plane, followed by a Mokoro tour on the water. Even before entering the Okavango Delta, we had already seen a wide variety of animals.
The 5-day safari through the Okavango Delta to Kasane was a true adventure. We camped for the first few days, and the Sekanka team exceeded all expectations. Nambers and Ilo took care of everything seamlessly, Matcha had an incredible eye for spotting perfectly camouflaged animals, Nametso prepared the most delicious meals in the bush, and Joe ensured we got everywhere safely.
The trip was filled with spectacular wildlife sightings, including lions, elephants, hippos, leopards, and herds of zebras, buffaloes, and wildebeest. In Kasane, we enjoyed water safaris as well. Sekanka also arranged a trip to Zimbabwe to see the stunning Victoria Falls – a truly spectacular sight.
A huge thank you to the entire Sekanka team – I can’t wait to come back!
Best experience of my life!
We were on a group of 11 people and spent 9 days traveling across Botswana and Victoria Falls. The trip was truly amazing! We had the itinerary designed specifically for our interests and it was spotless!
The team was truly amazing! The guides were so passionate about animals and what they did. Very knowledgeable and dedicated to showing us the best there was to see out there!
The staff team was super kind, we always found our camp super organized and clean. We appreciated the hot showers and dust free tents a lot. Amazing food, as well. We truly appreciated having meals prepared for our intolerances.
Anna was kind and always available. Recommended!

Amazing nature experience
At my first visit to Botswana, I chose to go for safari with the Sekanka team, and it was a great choice! Sekanka is a citizen owned and family-run mobile safari company based in Maun in the vicinity of the unique world renowned Okavango Delta. I was feeling I am in good hands from the first moment, surrounded by the people who know their country and love it.
Inspired by the website, I decided to go on the 4 day (3 nights) midrange camping tour, and I got more than I expected. We were led by Selani, the tour guide with more than twenty years of experience, who understands the habits of the animals and knows the are of the Khwai River area well, and it was very helpful.
From Maun, we drove through the Mababe Depression, where we could see plenty of elephants just from the road. We made a few stops to stretch the legs and take pictures, including the lunch stop.
During the early morning and evening drives in the nature, we had a good luck to watch number of lions fighting over the territory and catch, a leopard whose catch was stolen by lions and then chased away, or mother hyena taking care of her cubs. Just few hundred metres from our campsite, the lions killed the buffalo, and we could barely sleep at night when the predators were fighting over the prey. It is very easy to spot elephants, hippos, zebras, giraffes, all kinds of antelopes, and buffalos within Moremi Game Reserve. A trip on Khwai on the mokoro, traditional wooden boat, gave us another perspective of the river.
For all three nights, we were based in a tented camp at the bank of the Khwai River. The camping beds have comfortable mattrass and there is a shower and the toilet by the tent. Besides the great tour guide, we were taken care of by experienced chef and four guys responsible for the campsite and the fire.
Sekanka picked us up at the airport and drove us to our accommodation in Maun – the same on the way back. Thanks to Anna and her team for amazing time in the wilderness and helping us to explore beautiful nature of Botswana!

Excellent experience!
We did a private camping safari tour with sekanka in July 2023. Everything from the start to the end was organized perfectly well, the team was so nice and helpful. We went with two kids, 9 and 6, and felt safe all the time. We had the most amazing sightings and could certainly not have had this experience on our own. It was definitely an experience we will never forget!
