Great full day Chobe experience with Moonlight
I ended up booking a full day safari (private) and a Chobe river cruise (group) with Moonlight a month or so before my trip to Botswana. Prices were quoted in USD, but the expectation was that payment would be made in BWP cash. We were able to stop by an atm on our way into town, but BG offered to drive us to one if needed. Note: there was a relatively low ATM withdrawal limit, so it took three transactions at two ATMs to pull out the full amount. A few days before we arrived in Kasane, BG reached out by email to connect through Whatsapp to discuss final logistics.
On the evening of the river cruise, BG met us at our hotel's reception to collect payment and to drive us to the river dock. He showed up on time and the transfer was flawless. The cruise was a great time - lots of up close animal sightings and the captain did a great job of setting the boat up for good photography angles. At the end of the cruise, BG met us back at the top of the dock and took us back to our hotel.
The next morning we met BG at our hotel for an open air safari day drive. We had stocked up on water the evening before, but BG had also filled a cooler of bottles for us too. We spent most of the day driving up the river on the lookout for animals. While during the heat of the day it was difficult at times to find animals - BG did a great job knowing where to look. At one point, we ended up finding a pride of 13 lions who (after they were finished fighting with some elephants - went to sleep under a tree a few meters away from us. I've been to a bunch of safari parks in southern Africa - but this was one of the best experiences I've had.
Would also like to mention that Moonlight provided a huge luchbox that was probably enough food for a full day. Next time we're in the area, will definitely consider BG & Moonlight again.

Amazing
We did a tour in Tanzania for four days as a group of 5 adults and visited Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park and Ngorongoro, Lemala adventures organized a fantastic safari for us. The vehicles were perfect. The guide Samwel was knowledgeable with wildlife and plants. Our trip was in August 2023.Thank you so much Lemala adventures, we will be back next time.

Unforgetable
A friend of mine recommended me this company, amd I was not disappointed. It's worth what you pay for, and even more! The company itself is good but the guide we had (Evans) is just the absolute best. He's very patient, easy going, knowledgeable, on schedule and always ready to help. The only thing I would have enjoyed even more is to have more time to get to know him! (They work so hard all day long!!) Would do another tour with them if I come back!

The best kept secret - discovered!!
I love nature and are always on the search for authentic experiences, especially when I want to break away" from the "crowds". I have a personal proclivity for less "commercial" lodges and enjoy tranquil and intimate nature experiences. As humans we tend to intrude in nature and thus I enjoy boutique nature camps and lodges with passionate and skilled rangers accommodating smaller groups.
This description fits Bundox Camps / Lodges to the tee.
I was pleasantly surprised by the diversity in accommodation and scenery Bundox offer in the 6-day "Live Wild Plus package, I booked.
Commencing at the Bundox Explorer Camp, guests are immersed in a rustic, close-to-nature atmosphere accommodating a mere 8 individuals. Serene game drives and memorable "boma" evenings set the tone for an extraordinary experience in the heart of the Greater Kruger - Balule Reserve. A diversity of game, coupled with expert guidance for avid nature photographers, ensures unparalleled photographic opportunities.
The journey continues to the newly unveiled Bundox River Lodge, boasting expansive views over the Olifants River from each of its 5 luxury tents. A photographer's dream, the lodge offers not only morning and afternoon game drives but also the chance to capture wildlife moments from the lounge or pool deck. The natural river crossing in front of the lodge provides an exceptional setting for capturing elephants and hippos in their element.
Transitioning to Bundox Safari Lodge, I was presented with a unique blend of optional activities. Standout experiences include the unforgettable Blyde River Boat cruise and indulging in the excellent Spa facilities. Contrasting the all-inclusive nature of the previous lodges, Bundox Safari Lodge allows guests to tailor their adventure.
Bundox Safari Company emerges as my discovery for 2023, offering a genuine retreat from the crowds and an intimate connection with nature. For those yearning for a bespoke and enriching escape, the Live Wild Plus package by Bundox is highly recommended.

Our safari was absolutely amazing ! We had the best experience thanks to the perfect planning of Axis team, and our wonderful guide: JACK.
We took this safari as part of our honeymoon, it was a first for me and the 5th for my husband, we were mind blown by the beauty and the richness of the wildlife here.
Thank you Axis and a special thank you to Jack for your smile, energy and for always going above and beyond to keep us feeling like kids again!

An unforgettable experience
We booked a 6 day joining group safari to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. Irene was very helpful in providing all the information before and after the booking. The tour was very well organized, we were always well informed, the accomodation was comfortable and the food very tasty throughout the safari. The game drives were amazing. Our driver and tour guide, Sir Charles, was not only incredibly knowledgable about the wildlife, but also extremely skillful in finding the animals and getting us in the perfect observation spots before the other jeeps would arrive. You could see that he has many years of experience and that he truly enjoys the drives, so we couldn't have wished for a better guide. I've never done safaris before and I was sceptical about how much I would actually enjoy them, but it turned out to be an absolutely unforgettable experience which I definitely want to repeat

Great safaris
We had a pleasant stay in the Serengueti, Ngorongoro and Terengueti national parks. The landscapes are breathtaking and wild. We were able to enjoy three beautiful nights in the national parks in tents. A unique experience that I recommend. We were able to taste traditional dishes made on site by the Meerkat Safaris cooks. Thanks to Max, our guide who gave us a friendly, professional and attentive time. We were able to see a lot of animals, especially the Big 5, thanks to him. A wonderful experience thanks to suricata. Thank you so much.

AMAZING
We absolutely loved our safari experience !
We were lucky enough to see so many animals - including the big 5!
Our guide, Max, did every thing possible to make us see the rare animals.
It was an amazing safari, the food was great (thank you James), the tents and campsites were nice and Max was so kind and accommodating.
He took the time to tell us lots of facts on the animals and the Maui culture. But also was open to some friendly banter.
Thank-you so much Suricata for this unforgettable experience.

A wonderful experience that we will never forget
Left Nairobi for an 8 day tour early in the morning for Amboseli National Park, then headed for Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and finally for Masai Mara. So many impressions, so many encounters with a variety of wild animals (including rhinos, a leopard, cheetahs, funny birds...), so many opportunities to chat with locals. The Sopa lodges were not new, but very beautiful and charming retreats. Robert had organized everything, was very reliable, responsive and friendly. Anthony was our guide and an experienced and very cautious driver. We couldn't have had a better companion. He found all the hidden places, gave us every information on all the animals, but also on many other things and supported us wherever he could. Thanks for everything.
