If you love camping or you are looking at keeping the price of your safari down , a camping safari might be the right choice for you. A good tour operator like Okavango Exploration Safaris will provide a comfortable set-up with high quality tents, a dining tent, campfire, great food and minimal hassle. It is the best way to soak up the safari ambience and to feel part of nature. There is no better way to end the day in bush than siting around fire under the stars recounting the highlights.

Best way to explore the Okavango Delta!
5/5

Our 3-Day-Okavango Delta Safari was very well organized, Okavango Exploration responded quickly to our requests and was able to accomodate us on a very short notice, offering a great experience in the Delta. By connecting us to the members of the local community in the Delta, who supported the trip as polers and guides, we were able to learn about life in the Delta in addition to experiencing the wildlife and hearing about medical and other uses of the plants and trees in the Delta. Our guide shared his great knowledge while leading the bushwalks on the island or taking us out on a sunset cruise into the Delta. We truly enjoyed our safari with Okavango Explorations and the team and would like to recommend this trip to anybody who would like to spent a few days in the Okavango Delta.

A fantastic deep dive into wilderness
5/5

A trip bringing us deep into the bush, with fantastic views and animals spotting. Guiding and food at the highest bush standards, a so well organized trip. For sure, we will go with Okavango Exploration Safari again !

Authentic Wildlife Botswana Safari
5/5

Sox came highly recommended to me by a fellow veterinarian colleague while I was searching for an authentic African wildlife experience—and he and his team exceeded every expectation.

Watching Sox in his natural environment interpret animal behaviour with such depth and intuition was genuinely magical. There are no guarantees in the wild, yet our small group of six was fortunate enough to experience the Big Five, the Ugly Five, and an incredible range of birdlife—all expertly identified, named, and explained by Sox in real time.

If you’re looking for something truly authentic, immersive, and led by someone who clearly lives and breathes the bush, this is it.

A fantastic guide who grew up in the Okavango Delta and knows animal behaviour intimately
5/5

Sox was recommended highly to us by some friends and he lived up to our expectations. As others have said, it was the trip of a lifetime. We had our safari in the last 10 days of September in Moremi Reserve and it was very hot with average highs of 38C or 100F. Sox said the best months for cooler weather are June and July. Having grown up in the Okavango Delta, he has in intimate knowledge of animal behaviour and was the consummate guide. He takes safety very seriously and when we had to stop for a bathroom break he keep driving until he’d scouted a safe place.
He has a great sense of humour and an excellent dinner companion. His brother is a chef by training and prepared all the meals, including fresh baked bread every day. Never had camp food like this! Sox also has 2 helpers who attended to any needs we had. I haven’t got one critical thing to say.
Sox said we were particularly lucky to see what we did in 10 days. The total included untold number of giraffes and elephants; 25 lions including a pride of 16 with 5 cubs; 7 cheetahs and 3 leopards. Almost all of these were within 10-15 feet of the vehicle. There was one experience that Sox had never seen before: a leopard hiding in the grass and jumping out at a cheetah that had invaded his territory, giving chase to him. Of course the cheetah was faster but the leopard didn’t give up and repeated the chase about 5 times, having to rest in between. It had a comical edge to it.

Okavango Adventure
5/5

Having spent 10 days with Sox and his crew camping in Moremi Game Reserve, we felt very well taken care of and were impressed by the attention to detail Sox gave to the organization of our trip. He and his crew of 3 were very professional and tuned into the individual needs of the 6 members of our group. As a guide, Sox had a sixth sense about where to find animals and accurately reading their behaviours. Every day there was an exciting and sometimes rare sighting and we were all sad to leave at the end. We felt safe at all times given Sox's lifetime of experience living around the wildlife, and the caution he used when there was potential danger. Our cook consistently prepared delicious meals with good variety including freshly baked bread - he clearly loved and took pride in his cooking. The 2 assistants did the work of setting up and breaking camp and generally kept things in order with precision and efficiency. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and the warmth, friendliness and sense of humour that Sox and each of his crew had contributed greatly to this.
