The booking with Kalahari tours was straightforward from start to finish and excellent in every way.
Initially we booked a morning 3-hour Game Drive and an afternoon 3-hour sunset river cruise for our first day in Botswana. From the moment we booked everything was handled efficiently and professionally. Ou guide for both trips was OP. His knowledge and expertise were exemplary. We felt totally safe in his hands.
Everything went well from start to finish. Kalahari tours arrived about 10 minutes before the scheduled time to collect our group and we never felt rushed. I have taken part in many safaris in both the Kruger and in Pilanesberg close to Sun City in South Africa, but these trips in Chobe National Park were far better. We saw more wildlife and got much closer to all the animals without causing any disturbance. I cannot speak highly enough of Kalahari tours and our guide OP.
We enjoyed our first day so much we were delighted to be able to book an extended tours for the next day, which included and excellent locally made lunch, and a repeat of our two tours on our final day. Every trip was different and every trip offered close but safe encounters with the animals. Throughout our guide, OP, showed exceptional knowledge and could not have been more helpful.
We will be returning later in the year and I am certain we will be using Kalahari tours.

Professional and well run tour with very informative guide.
The tour exceeded my expectations. It was very well organised, the camp was well set up with decent tents and a daily shower, the long drop toilet was better that I have experienced elsewhere. The food was very good and we certainly didn’t go hungry, plenty of water was offered on a regular basis. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, he knew the area well and we saw plenty of wildlife. He was also very safety conscious and shared a lot of information about animal behaviour. I would definitely go again probably in a different season to experience the changes. Good value for money.
Personable and experienced
We were very happy with our Chobe safari with Kalahari. I'm so glad we went ahead and did the 2 full days, so that we could not only enjoy staying out in the park and camping, but also having plenty of time to do 2 game drives on the second day and not feel rushed. Our guide OP was fantastic! He was funny and engaging, and also did a really great job at finding the main attractions we were there to see, the animals! We got to see so many different animals, several of which are apparently not common to spot, and I was ecstatic to finally see a leopard. I'd been on a safari in Kenya before, and that was the one animal I'd really wanted to see but hadn't, so now 12 years later I finally got to see not one, but three different leopards! I also very much enjoyed the boat ride along the Chobe River before we set off into the National Park. That gave us a different perspective and a chance to see other animals and get much closer than we could have on land. We felt safe and comfortable with OP during the safari, and were well taken care of. Would definitely recommend this safari company and OP as a guide.

courteous and professional interaction from beginning to end
My wife and I spent 3 days and 2 nights in Chobe National Park with the team from Kalahari Tours. Our guide, K (Kanawe), along with MP and Amos (chefs and camp staff), were nothing short of exceptional. K put us on to pretty much every animal except Rhino, which are not found in the park due to government relocation programs. K's instinctive knowledge of animals, his tracking skills, humor, safety-first ethos, and focused desire to 'wow' you are nothing short of inspirational. We were treated to outstanding meals - home made bread, stir fry, salads, roast veg, seasoned steak, local 'pup', snacks, cereals .... etc.. Incredible. Big shout out to management and staff for a truly memorable visit to this unique part of the world. We were treated with uncommon courtesy by integral, hard working staff. We highly recommend Kalahari Tours and hope to visit and camp with you guys again in the future!

Handled our travel chaos well
We had a bit of travel chaos, with a child falling ill. It was handled very graciously and compassionately by Kalahari Tours. I’d definitely recommend them.

Fantastic experience of all Chobe has to offer
Kalahari Tour's provide an amazing service.
From arranging your pick up to the actual game drives (and Chobe river views), the experience is awesome. Friendly, highly knowledgeable guides will share their passion for all Chobe's wildlife, and answer all your questions too. Their experience will find for you the very best opportunities to view the dense and diverse game available. Every trip has been memorable.
There's a reason I've chosen Kalahari now over 4 different years, they're the best!
That includes their overnight camping package, a truly wonderful experience you should not miss!

Great wildlife, Great Service!
We went to the Chobe National Park in March this year and joined Kalahari Tours on a 2 night mobile safari.
Nothing beats camping out in the true wilderness of Botswana, and Kalahari Tours made sure we experienced the best of it.
Apart from the exceptional game viewing in the park - it was fantastic to arrive at our campsite, already set up with a fire burning - and a more than welcome glass of wine!
Nothing beats falling asleep to the sounds of lion roaring, and the exhilaration of knowing they have the freedom to walk right past us!
The food prepared for us was of the highest standard, the guides knowledgeable and patient, and the camp hands cheerful and helpful!
Definitely will be going again

Efficient , affordable and professional, highly recommend
I’ve gone on a five-day, four-night trip to Savuti the guide was very informative and you could tell he knew what he was doing I had a lovely trip. During the daytime, we saw an abundance of different animals, and we were even lucky enough to see an impala killed by a leopard on the Chobe riverfront. During our stay on the riverfront, we saw three brown hyenas, which one doesn’t often see It was amazing. As we moved south to Savuti the drive was long, yes, but that is what is to be expected. T food was wonderful a 10 out of 10 The backup team that came with us was incredible and as a vegetarian, they provided wonderful meals and they did a really good job as some places don’t offer as good of a meal in the bush, especially as a vegetarian. The tents and the campsite, when we arrived at each, were already fully made, and showers were available throughout the day until it got dark, which was very refreshing after a long hot day whilst, in Savuti, we saw a handful of lions, as well as jackals and a male leopard, pushed beautifully on a Raintree this experience was once in a lifetime, and I will never forget it thank you to management and your wonderful team! Would recommend.
