Great fauna and flora on River Chobe and Okavango Delta in spite of the drought.
My wife and I had a really wonderful trip at an easy pace, experiencing good accomodation, friendly and informative hosts, especiallty the bush walks in the delta at Oddballs Camp. The game viewing was excellent, and the bushcraft and skills of our guides was first class.
Whilst staying at Kasane on the River Chobe we watched an elephant frolicking in the river and at times being completely submerged; we saw a pride of lions with some cubs devouring a kill before they came down to the river edge to drink. The following day, we saw the same pride totally relaxed and sleeping off their meal in the shade of the bushes. Fantastic

A perfect few day get-away to see the delta
Marvelous Mobile Safari answered our many questions and many emails making it an easy choice to put our trust in them - they even tried to help sort out a flight issue. And when flights didn't connect, were still there to meet us, quick to adjust the itinerary so that we could still make the absolute most of our few days. The delta was just stunning, and our guide was careful and informative and helped us track a number of animals. We did well in terms of seeing wildlife, but learned so much as well. It was incredibly hot and dry, so we rested during the heat of the day and went animal spotting in the morning and late afternoon, as well as a dip in the delta. The sunsets were dazzling, so the team always made sure we were somewhere special to watch from. The camp itself was luxurious but rustic - the comfortable camp beds and hot showers were unexpected and, as a vegetarian, I cannot say enough good things about the food.

The safari was well organized and everything went very well; we were extremely satisfied.
Everything was very well organized from the moment we arrived in Maun to our departure. The wildlife was excellent, the scenery in the Okavango Delta is what you would expect for flat sub-topical Savannah. The weather was hot in the day but we expected that from the time of the year and it did cool off at night. Accommodations were excellent and the drivers and trackers were knowledgeable, informative, and did an excellent job. Despite the remoteness of the camps, the food was amazing and presentation and service was very professional. All the staff in the two camps we visited were pleasant, helpful, and polite. The whole experience was amazing and I can highly recommend Botswana as a destination.

Stunning scenery with so many beautiful wildlife everywhere.
The scenery was just amazingly beautiful and was lucky to see so many wildlife including lions, leopards, giraffes, elephants, hippos, and wild dogs. The transportation was smooth and the guides and the hotel staffs at both camps (Kanana and Okuti) were so friendly and knowledgeable. They have made my first visit to Africa an unforgettable experience!

A SHORT 3 DAYS IN MAUN FILLED WITH A SUNSET CRUISE, A ONE DAY SAFARI AND A SCENIC FLIGHT.
BOTSWANA HAS EVERYTHING AN ADVENTURER NEEDS, FROM AN INLAND DELTA TO WILDLIFE PARKS THAT CAN BOAST THE LARGEST POPULATION OF AFRICAN ELEPHANTS IN THE WORLD. WHILST IN MAUN FOR A SHORT TIME MY WIFE AND I MANAGED TO COMPLETE A SUNSET CRUISE, A DAY SAFARI IN THE MOREMI NATIONAL PARK AND A SCENIC HELICOPTER RIDE OVER THE OKAVANGO DELTA.
AS A KEEN PHOTOGRAPHER I SECURED REALLY GOOD AMATEUR PHOTOS OF LIONS, CHEETAHS, ELEPHANTS, GIRAFFES, BABOONS, CROCODILES, HIPPOS, GAZELLES AND NUMEROUS BIRD SPECIES DURING THIS PERIOD. WE CERTAINLY RECOMMEND BOTSWANA AS A FABULOUS DESTINATION FOR ADVENTURERS OF ALL AGES. AS RETIRED PEOPLE WE FOUND THE HOSPITALITY OF THE LOCAL PEOPLE AND TRAVEL OPERATORS ALIKE TO BE EXCELLENT FROM EVERY ANGLE.

I was only in Botswana for one day, what I saw it was very nice. I was there for a Safari.
It was a great day. Talk about National Geographic! The Boat Safari was very good in the morning. And the Game Drive in the afternoon was wonderful. We had a few families of elephants right beside our vehicle walking right in front of us. My only disappointment was I never saw a Loin right, front and centre. We saw 2 females, quite far away in the bush sleeping. Saw many Giraffes! Just Beautiful! I highly recommend a Safari to Chobe National Park. I has used Aritsamaye Safaris
