Reliable and friendly tour operator for a great wildlife experience in Botswana
Walking Stick tailor made our 13 day safari through Moremi, Khwai, Savuti and Chose National Park, including 2 nights Mokoro safari in a community area close to Moremi.
The email communication before the trip was always precise and the response time short.
Our guide was very experienced and patient who was luckily a great wildlife tracker. We had losts of wonderful sightings with liones, lion babies and leopards.
Our service crew (Truck driver, chef and camp site assistant) was very friendly and attentive. It was always nice after a day safari packed with great sightings, sat at the camp fire and sip a G&T. Sometime, an elephant or a small group of zebras was a just few steps behind the tent. We enjoyed our trip very much.
If you fancy the rustic way with mobile safari to explore the magnificent wildlife in Botswana, Walking Stick is an experienced and reliable local tour operator with good value.
Competent, knowledgeable, hard working and safety conscious
My husband and I had a wonderful trip with Phillimon to the Moremi reserve in the Okavango Delta for 2 nights and 3 days. From beginning to end it was a totally memorable experience.
James, in the office, is a great communicator and was always quick to respond to emails and questions which gave me total confidence in booking with Walking Sticks Safari.
Phillimon picked us up at a set time from our accommodation in Maun and took us to the campsite after taking us for a game drive in the afternoon. We saw lots of animals including lions.
The campsite had already been set up by Prince, our cook, and KB his assistant. Both were charming, good fun and very helpful.
After waking the following morning at 5:30 and having breakfast we had another 6 hour game drive, back to camp for lunch and a rest and then another 3 hour game drive late afternoon returning to camp at 7pm for dinner. Again we saw many animals including a lioness with her two cubs, zebra, hyenas, wild dogs, hippo, buck and just missing out on seeing a leopard but not for lack of effort on Phillimons part. The following morning we had another short game drive, lunch and then a return trip to our accommodation in Maun stopping on the way if more animals were seen.
Phillimon was born and bred in the Okavango Delta and knows the delta like the back of his hand. At all times he worked really hard to show us as many animals as possible and never gave up despite some challenging weather conditions; a hugh amount of rain had fallen in Botswana over the last month.
It was such fun that we didn’t want it to end. Phillimon knows his stuff and we felt relaxed and safe with him at all times. We saw some wonderful animals and experienced the delights of the Okavango Delta.
I would definitely recommend Walking Sticks Safari as a company to see the Okavango Delta with. We had a great time and we would definitely use them again.
