Is one of the few places where camping sites are in the wild, giving the unique expereince to be alone in nature; big carnivores are frequeently seen, among those wilddogs, leopards, and in the Kalahari Brown hyena; scenic beauty can vary from open savannah, to woodland, to desert, making the most varied country in Southern Africa; bush vibe is really incomparable, birding opportunities are many as the environment change, spanning from waterbirds to raptors, to desert specilities . A must for Wildlife fanatics, you are just on the stage, you meet all main actors of the big game of life and Death, big carnivores, bigfive, giraffes, more elusive species, wild dog, a real bonanza varying every day, changing any moment

split the morning into game and river safaris which gave us more time out though by about 11 am most of the game is seeking shade from the heat. So many fabulous memories of a beautiful country.

Botswana with Gifts of The Kalahari
A trip to the heart of the bush, made unforgettable by our guide Lucky who, tireless and very expert of places, has accompanied us in this exciting adventure. Thanks also to the Master chef Smooth, to Sugar and Jacob and to the whole team Gifts of the Kalahari. A perfect organization. Colors, scents, and sounds of Botswana will remain in our memories.
Gifts of The Kalahari is super!!!

A once in a lifetime experience of game drives and camping in the bush
Read more
see there (elephants, lions, leopards, crocodiles, hippos, buffalo, zebras...only excluding the elusive Hyena's). The tour guide had around 30 years of experience and so her and her daughter offered a wealth of knowledge and were able to answer any questions we had. Chobe national park itself was an incredible place with the backdrop of the Chobe river offering some of the most incredible sunrises/sunsets I have ever seen and is not too busy like I have heard other national parks in Africa can get (e.g. Kruger) so when we were observing wildlife we were, more often that not, the only vehicle around. To summarise, anyone looking for a safari tour that is small, with private camping and abundant wildlife then this will be ideal for you.

Safari was perfect.
The safari in chobe national park was awesome. The wildlife was quite perfect. We didnt see leopard, but the rest we saw everything. The guide was extremelly kind and wise in the explanations about wildlife. Everything was good and i have nothing to complain about.
Experience of a life time!
We had the best experience under the care of Walking Stick Safari.
The tent was very comfortable and met all our requirements. The food was excellent and exceeded all our expectations and was pleasantly surprised. The staff was very courteous friendly and accommodating.
We felt that each day was very well planned out in order to maximise the experience. We felt very safe and well taken care of at all times. Phillimon is a very knowledgeable guide and gave us a lot of insight about the animals and birds.
Phillimon made sure we got to take some amazing photos and videos of many wild animals and birds. It was nice to see everything in its own natural habitat without the animals feeling threatened. We managed to see 4 of the BIG 5. No Rhinos unfortunately but in view of how protected they are

nowadays its no wonder.We highly recommend Walking Stick to anyone looking to do a safari. We deliberately chose a small local independent company so we could contribute back to the community. More than glad that we did as the service was excellent and the experience second to none. You will not be disappointed.

Trip of a lifetime.
It was a trip that I thought was unattainable. I could not have been more wrong. After doing some research I found a wonderful safari company. I did a mobile camping safari. Incredible game drives during the day , bush walks and dinner under the South African night sky. Imagine falling asleep to the sound of a male lion roaring in the distance or hippos snorting in the river nearby. I fell so in love with Botswana on that trip that I was booked on another safari two months after returning home. Best vacation ever!!!

Authentic, yet organized and safe
Wildlife was maybe a bit too used to humans to feel "natural" but the benefit is that you can see lots of animals from very close. We often had elephants or even lions surround our car! Our safari guide, found on Safaribookings was really a small business owner working really hard to make it, and in addition to being a great tracker was also able to share with us over the dinner table a lot of his knowledge of the Bushmen tribe and other elements of history and of the local culture. My advice is to take a chance by going for a safari in a small group and with a small operator, even if they have few reviews. You may be in for a unique experience and meet extraordinary local guides.
