Amazing sites and sounds of the African bush.
Having lived in Botswana about 10years ago, I decided to embark on a self driven safari. The Chobe National Park has a lot of wildlife, as such one does not waist time looking for them. The weather was perfect because in August the temperature is mild with no rain. August is considered one of the best times to visit Chobe National Park and neighbouring attractions such as Victoria Falls, Hwange National Park and the Okavango Delta. Accommodation at Chobe Safari Lodge was excellent and so was the sunset cruise along the Chobe River. My highlights included seeing some of the largest African elephants on earth crossing the Chobe River; the majestic Southern Hornbill; a Hyena walking on the side of the road looking for animal carcasses and; lastly seeing Lions and the African Spotted Dogs on the hunt. In my opinion visiting the Chobe National Park and surrounding attractions is a vacation of a lifetime and I would recommend it to all nature lovers like myself.

Different perspective.
Savannah Southern Safaris provides a relaxed and informative walking tour through the eastern section of the Mosi-au-Tunya National Park in Zambia. Although the park is small we were able to view Impala, Buffalo and Rhino on foot and therefore a more natural perspective. The guides provided a well presented feast of information on the local vegetation, birdlife, the wildlife encountered and the spoor trails they leave. This Safari is well worth it for anyone who likes to experience the landscape on foot and learn about it along the way.

Touring Zambia by Car
I explained to Leslie of MTT that my husband I are different from other tourists, we actually want to see the country Zambia and not fly from one camp to another like others. We are interested in the people, the history of a country and we also wanted to see the animals.
Leslie arranged to have Paul take us all around Zambia over a three week period in a private car. Paul is a wonderful guide and a safe driver who seemed to know everybody in the whole country. We spent several nights in various bush camps and when camps were not available we pitched our own tents in the wild, helped Paul cook our own dinners and breakfasts. What a wonderful way to spend a holiday. We are thankful to Leslie for spending the time and effort to make our trip a memorable one. We have been in many places in this world, but Zambia stands out as the best place to see animals without the heard of tourists in your face.

Best trip ever
We are a family of four and it was memorable and special holiday. Everything was Excellent organised
The planning of our safari was thorough and gave us, as first timers, a safari as complete as I can imagine Our guide on safari was superb very knowledgeable and well spoken he ensured our safari experience was superb. The lodges were fabulous, the surprisingly good. We had 10 days in Tanzania followed by a beach holiday in Zanzibar including a day in stone town. We loved it and regional tours took all the hassle out of our trip. We would highly recommend MercuryZanzibarSafari

50th Anniversary Family Safari
I find it hard to know where to begin to convey just how good our experience with Galloping Safaris was. Walter Tenge made all arrangements--and rearrangements--exceptionally easy. He not only made all planning delightful, he was graciously available 24/7 if needed. Every accommodation seemed better than the last. Meals were sumptuous and delicious. Our itinerary introduced us every day to new and varied environments and wildlife. Our guides, James and Silver, became friends and I hope to always stay in touch. They are competent, efficient, capable in all kinds of problem-solving--including medical--cheerful and fun in every situation. And they knew exactly how to find the animals.
This was a family trip to celebrate our 50th Anniversary. It included a 7 year old, two 14 year olds, and needed to accommodate various family relationships and physical challenges smoothly--not an easy feat--but Walter, James and Silver seemed to work magic to make this a family trip of a quality to match the occasion of our 50th anniversary.
Fantastic holiday
Had a wonderful safari holiday, all arrangements made were great and went to plan. Everywhere we stayed was as good or better than expected. The safari tour with our driver was amazing. Would definitely recommend.
