Mokoro trip is a great experience. You can enjoy the okavango delta with its beautiful nature and animals. Perfect catering by mosu safari

An unique safari

Chobe and Kwai are unique ways of doing safaris. Where the water and not the savana takes the protagonism. Expect to see lot of elephants in chobe playing in the river, while at Kwai you can find them with hippos and crocs on the flooded land. Suvuti in the middle offers a more traditional safari where big cats can be easily seen. Leopards are present in all of the 3 and we saw them even eating a fresh impala breakfast.

My wife and I, aged 75, went to Kadizora Camp in the Delta and then to Ghoha Hills Savuti Lodge in Chobe National Park, as arranged by Sian Edwards of Off2Africa travel. The trip was pricy but worth it. Both stays were excellent - plenty of animals and scenery, explained in detail by qualified guides. We got not only to see animals, but understand how they lead their lives and the ecosystem within which they exist.
Though we saw only Maun, the airport city, to have an idea of the rest of Botswana, we came away with a very positive feeling about the country. The English of all we met was impeccable, and things worked well (with the exception of Air Botswana, which changed our flight time without notice). Off2Africa was very helpful in making our choices, which were good ones. If I had it to do over again, I would try to see a bit more of the water life of the Delta, which is fascinating.

Ideal bush destination

The parks and accommodation are amazing. Just do not travel on the dirt road from south to north to the entrance of Moremi game reserve entrance (south gate). We got shaken to pieces for hours on that road.

Botswana was one of the destinations l have always wanted to travel to. My wish came true April when we have the opportunity to go on a flying safari. I cannot put into words the amazing time we had during our travels. The animals, guides, staff and all amenities were fantastic. I wish l could have stayed forever.

Our day in Chobe was great: we saw quite a variety of wildlife, and a surprising amount too! I couldn't believe the number of elephants, with hippo, buffalo etc all around as well. The river cruise was also great, with a very informative, friendly guide that made the experience a lot of fun.

Great experience. Sam ,from Kalahari tours ,is a Botswana diamond. Friendly, knowledgeable and engaging making the beautiful scenery of the Chobe that much more appealing. The people we encountered served us graciously and made sure we had more than we needed. From border entry to exit, our trip was a bucket-list experience.

Our travel agent at Indigo Safaris did a wonderful job in planning and making the necessary reservations. We were particularly impressed by the coordination and cooperation among the local airlines.

The Kalahari was a wonderful place with different animals to what we had seen on previous safaris, such as the wonderful bat eared foxes and wild cat. Not the best time to visit as the rains stopped us going to many areas due to the mud. We did get stuck once for an hour before being rescued, all part of the experience as were the scorpions. From the Kalahari our well laid plans went to pot as hotel Baobab had a big fire in November so was closed for renovation. Our guide changed the itinerary and took us to Khwai and into the Savuti part of the Chobe reserve. The areas were lovely but it was a lot of travelling on dirt roads and not what we had planned. We did see more animals in these areas mostly ones we had seen previously. Our best experience was spending 25 minutes with beautiful male Leopard. He was walking at the side of the road coming towards us and was not bothered at all about the car, we got some wonderful photographs and even managed to turn the car around and follow
Read more him as he scent marked along his territory. It had been raining and our guide said that, he is staying near the road as he does not want to get his fur wet in the long grass. Eventually as he walked away from the road he was spotted by the Impala, a great noise they all made warning of his presence. We were doing luxury camping, it was very comfortable but often very hot and washing water was in short supply. Our guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the wildlife and fauna but sometimes he over egged the pudding.
