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!

Moremi and Kasane – fantastic and memorable safari tours
We were a party of four (two couples) and booked an individual 5-day-tour with Sekanka Safaris. Communication was easy and professional.
On the day of our departure in Maun we were picked up at our accommodation by our guide Thaloganyo, who was the perfect guide with lots of knowledge about the area and animals. We then drove to the Moremi Game Reserve with our lodge for the stay located in Khwai. From our lodge we went on four safari tours which left us in absolute awe: Nature, scenery, and most of all these beautiful animals that we were lucky to see. Numerous giraffes, water buffalos, zebras, impalas, wart hogs, occasional hyenas. The highlight were definitely the majestical elephants everywhere (we love elephants) and on top of that we saw a pride of 24!!! lionesses feeding.
On day three of our tour we left Khwai and headed to Kasane. Here we did a little day tour to the Victoria Falls via Zimbabwe, which was a very lovely trip with a walk along the waterfalls. The next day we took a River Safari on the Zambesi River around Sedudu Island. This island is special, because it is always green and the animals have to cross a wide river to get there. This we were able to witness as a herd of elephants crossed the river in the evening to the mainland, with the bigger elephants supporting the smaller ones that could only lift their trunk out of the water.
The next day we then had the drive back to Maun which brought our memorable safari tour to an end.
Sekanka took care of everything: booking the lodges and cars, getting into the parks, food, etc.
Thanks to everybody, it was exceptional.

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.

A unique and unforgettable experience
Okavango was on our bucket list and on short notice, Sekanka Safaris was able to organize and tailor an incredible camping safari from Maun to Xakanaxa and Khwai. Although we are seasoned safari-goers, this was our first minimalistic camping experience in the wilderness, as previously we slept in safari lodges or hotels.
Our guides Thalo and Ben delivered their services in an extraordinary, pleasant, and friendly manner. They made us feel at home, taking care of all aspects that would make our safari unforgettable. Everything was well organized from the onset, safe, with excellent guidance, explanations, and storytelling of the endless wildlife, flora, people, and local culture.

Excellent organization. Very committed and competent guides. Worth the money.
Excellent organization. Very committed and competent guides. Worth the money. Guide team consisting of chef, cook, camp manager and experienced game observer/tracker. Best conditions for excellent sightings, culminating in a family of 10 lions and a leopard while hunting. Mobile tent accommodation is a real adventure for "standard Europeans". Schicki Micki is definitely out of place here.

Organised
We are a retired couple and were looking to get a close-up feel of an African experience at a reasonable cost. Online we discovered Sekanka Travel. The Safari is a 'partnership'. The support staff set up and clean up camp, gather the firewood, prepare wholesome and nutritious food, warm up the water for a hasty private bush shower and lay out the drinks table around the fire for the return of the hard working guests after a game viewing drive or boat excursion.
The eagle eyed guides give expert identification and background information on game, bird life and local flora. Think 'those rocks are actually hippos, that log is a crocodile, the lions eating that hippo killed it last night!'
In tough terrain, mechanical glitches (apparently rare) do happen. Support from head office and a resourceful and resilient crew kept the show close to schedule.
Meet, greet and transfers all went extremely smoothly.
A great adventure, life long memories and a few stories to embellish back home.
Thanks team.

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!

Perfect tailor-made tented safari
We booked a tailor-made safari starting in Maun and ending in Victoria Falls with Sekanka and were happy we did. The itinerary was suited to our wishes. We traveled with just our family of 4 and loved spending time with the Sekanka team. Your guide Macha is always friendly and positive, Thalo the driver is super skilled. Even when driving through the most difficult terrains such as loose sand he managed to spot wild-life and made us feel safe with him. Neem is funny and a skilled chef. A great team to spend your safari with. Looking back, the only thing we would change is to stay in the same camp site for more than one night. The days we spend just one night in a camp sight were a bit too rushed with setting up and breaking down camp, since your team will do that. There is not a second team traveling ahead to take care of that like many of the larger companies do but the more family style and tailor-made tour that you get in return is very much worth that. Our favorite days were by far those in Xakanaxa area, such a stunning area were where were lucky enough to spot some rare game sights such as a leopard an wild dogs devouring their pray. We also enjoyed the Kasane Chobe boat tour a lot but in all honesty, the few days at the end at a comfortable lodge in Victoria Falls were a welcome change of scenery as well. Tents will be tents and despite the best efforts to make the tent as comfortable as possible, it will always be camping in a dusty environment. We had an amazing safari and anyone looking for a reference is welcome to contact me.
