5 Nights Safari in Botswana
Everything about the trip was fantastic. I was met by 2 people from Gondwana Tours and Safaris in Maun, given my itinerary and shown to my flight to my first camp. Everything was extremely well organised and the wildlife, scenery, weather, accommodation, food and guides were fantastic. Highly recommended.

An exceptional place to photograph wildlife and birds
We had a fantastic time on the Pangolin Houseboat in Chobe, at the Pangolin camp in Kwai and at Desolate Valley lodge.

Memorable experience on the Okavango Delta.
We booked a full day private tour through Safaribookings with Xaa Safaris.
I have to tell everything was just perfect.
We arrived late in Maun but we had sent them a previous email to ask for the tour as we only had the following day to go on the safari.
They had already prebooked us even though they had no chance to speak with us. They even came to see USA late that evening to explain us the activity.
They picked us up early next morning as scheduled and the whole day was exactly as they had described.
Lesego drove us to the villlage where we got on the boat with Geez our guide on the boat. We explored the delta with him and the experience was memorable!
Snacks and lunch provided were great.
Would definitely recommend this Safari and would do it again!

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.

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!!!

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.

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.
