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.

He was extremely informative and also knew the best places to view the animals.
I went on a safari with this company with a group of friends. Sox, the owner and operator was very good at communicating about what to expect on the safari as well as any precautions to observe around the wild animals. He was extremely well informed about all the flora and fauna given that he also grew up around the area in Botswana. His staff were also very friendly and helpful and always there to provide excellent service.
Given his vast knowledge of the area, he seemed to intuitively know where we might see all of the animals, including the elusive ones, such as the leopard. As a result we saw all of the wild cats and watched with delight as we witnessed the baby lions playing. The other plus was that it was reasonably priced for a 10 day safari, far less than others I had checked and there were only 6 participants on the safari. In conclusion, I would highly recommend Sox and his company for an excellent experience of a lifetime. I came back to Canada and have recently recommended it to friends who will be going on one of his upcoming safaris. It’s not to be missed!

Best ever safari experience
Wow! What an exceptional trip with Sox and his team! We couldn’t have asked for better.
Our group of 8 kiwis had a 9 night, 10 day safari through Botswana with Sox and his team and it was an unbeatable experience - even for me as a “non-camper”! They made everything easy and comfortable.
The professionalism, attention to detail, humour, excellent communication, safe driving along with Sox’s incredible knowledge of wildlife and the area (all freely shared) made this a trip of a lifetime. The variety of experiences kept us wanting more - we never felt it was “same old- same old” … camping spots changed, parks changed and experiencing the Okavango Delta in traditional mokoro was certainly a new and exciting experience for us all!
Sox and the team went above and beyond to ensure we were well looked after, kept safe, saw as much as was possible, including 4 of the big 5 in one morning! Sox’s lifetime of knowledge, gained from his family growing up, meant we came away with so much knowledge you wouldn’t read in a book. Just kept us engaged the whole 10 days!
I can’t recommend Sox and his team highly enough - if you want to experience the real Botswana in a comfortable and engaging way, let Sox organise it for you!
An absolute plus was the team’s consciousness toward taking care of the environment - huge respect was shown at all times, including stopping the truck to pick up rubbish! This is not often seen but so important - big ups to Sox and the team for this approach - Mother Earth is safe in their hands!
We were incredibly well fed with OT our chef preparing three meals and two snacks on traditional campfires, then feeling luxurious as we sat at carefully laid tables to eat! Incredible to watch as well as always feeling well nourished.
Thanks Sox and your team - you were amazing! 10 out of 10 for your service 😊

Wonderful mobile safari with Sox as guide ad driver in Savuti and Okavango
We spent 5 days in october 2021 with Sox as a guide and driver during a moving safari first in Savuti and then in Okavango.
Sox was very professional and pleasant, he definitely knew where and when you are likely to find every wild animal, he was also able to make it fun for our 3 kids (aged 5 to 10). He was very nice, and made this safari an unforgettable experience for all of us. We definitely recommend to go on safari with him.
Plenty of photos and details on our blog (in french) :

Sox was extremely knowledgeable, safe and fun!
The tour was so much fun! We were so well taken care of with amazing food, comfortable sleeping tents with provided pads and bags, and the locations we went to we saw so many animals that we didn’t expect to see. Sox knew everything about the animal tracks, the animal burrows, the nightly patterns and all the different types of birds. We had an amazing experience!

An amazing, immersive mobile Safari in the Okavango Delta!
Our 10 day mobile safari was so much more than we could have even imagined. Sox, our guide, was so incredibly knowledgeable and helpful to answer all of our questions and explain the way of life “in the bush.” We experienced multiple sites, each with their own special highlights from animals sightings to unique landscapes.
We were a small group with Sox as our guide and Kapappa as camp assistant, who was so helpful and made incredible meals for our whole time. The camp set up was great, easy to erect tents, with bush ablutions (and shower), fridge in the van to keep our beers/drinks cold (very important) and power to charge when we needed it.
The trip was expertly guided by Sox and we felt excited, safe and immersed in our safari experience from start to finish!
I Would highly recommend this trip, and would like to thank Sox and Kappapa for making it so special!
