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.

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.

Best safari guide in Botswana!

5/5

I was nervous about visiting Africa for the first time and doing a safari but I am so glad that I did!
Okavango Exploration Safaris was perfect! The guide (Sox) was amazing and he seemed to know where all the animals were hiding and where all the action would be. We ended up seeing all the animals in Botswana’s Okavango delta.

What was best about Okavango Exploration Safaris was that the group was limited to 6 people so it was intimate and never felt crowded or rushed. Almost all the other safari groups were packed into a jeep (with 12 people and more) whereas our group never had to fight over who was getting a window seat. The trucks are all open-sided (but covered at the top for sun protection) so you really felt close to nature!

The camping was surprisingly easy and comfortable (see photos) and the food was amazing (cooked by his brother). All the meals were cooked on a campfire. If you are looking for an authentic safari experience that puts you living in the African bush this is your best bet!

He was extremely informative and also knew the best places to view the animals.

5/5

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

5/5

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 😊
