A dream
5/5

Our experience was everything we had dreamed of.
Moonstroll was amazing and accomodating from start to finish, creating a safari that fit our needs.
Ben, our guide was super knowledgeable and taught us so much about all the wildlife. He was an experienced and talented tracker and managed to find Lions every day on our 4day safari, we even saw a leopard. Ben was great company and shared great stories around the dinner table.
The chef was super talented with all the amazing meals she could cook over the fire, the food was amazing.
I will definitely go on another safari with Moonstroll in the future and would highly recommend them.

December 2022 trip Okavango Delta amd Moremi
5/5

We travelled with Moonstroll Vantage Expeditions during December 2022. We first use them to book Makoro trip into the Okavango Delta. They soon proof to be reliable, on time and very knowlegable about the local area with friendly staff that was most hospitable. We loved their service so much we used them to take us in to the Moremi the following day as well and once again they delivered making our two days with them most memorable. Just love their work and if you looking for a great experience and affordable price you will not be disappointed.

This tour made our 6 weeks trip
5/5

Ben, our guide , was the basis of the success. He knew all the small paths to find the animals and had many stories about there behavior. Camping in the bush was fantastic. An out of africa experience.
The top of out 6 weeks tour!

Moonstroll were incredibly helpful and professional
5/5

My wife, son and I recently undertook a 15-day safari with Moonstroll. We can only recommend them and their safari team highly.

We are from Southern Africa and have spend a substantial amount of time in the bush and were looking for a real 'back to nature' camping experience in the wilds.

Moonstroll certainly delivered.

The trip was all undertaken in an open game viewing vehicle which was possibly not the most comfortable vehicle to travel hundreds of kilometers on the main roads to get to our destination but was truly excellent when we arrived at the various locations and reserves. At one point, traveling through the Makgadikgadi reserve we became quite bogged down in very soft sand and were very grateful that we did have a good, off-road focussed, 4x4 to pull us out.

Our trip started with a drive of almost 250 km to the Makgadikgadi Pans to the East of Maun. Most of it on tar roads but the last 50 km on sand tracks. We spent one night in the amazing moonscape of the dry salt pans. The annual rains were just starting and within months the pans will fill and the flamingoes return.

The following day we left early and drove to the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. A very long and laborious drive of over 14 hours on bumpy, difficult sand roads through the Makgadikgadi game reserve. Unfortunately, we arrived too late to make the gate and had to camp outside the reserve. There was an immense thunderstorm. The following morning we traveled on to our actual campsite (a further 3 hours) where we spent that night. The next day we left and drove back many hours to Maun where we overnighted on our way to the Makoro camp in the swamp.

Whilst in Maun we requested a meeting with the owner of Moonstroll as our itinerary driving times were far in excess of those that were shown in our itinerary. We felt that, whilst it was wonderful to see such a lot of Botswana, we were spending most of our trip in transfers rather than in the bush. We still had the Mokoro night then 2 nights at Chobe, 2 nights at Khwai, 2 nights at Savuti and 2 nights at Moremi. We realized that, based on our experience so far we would drive a whole day to get somewhere and arrive late at night followed by a day of game driving (excellent) stay that night and leave again early the next day. It was all travel. So, we requested they change the campsite bookings (not easy for them) to give us 4 nights Savuti and 4 nights Khwai.

It was the right decision. Moonstroll made it happen and we are grateful that they did.

The balance of our trip was far more relaxed. It gave us time to be in the bush and photograph the birds and animals we came to see.

The Mokoro island night was fun and elephants came and visited us in our tented camp.

Khwai was possibly the highlight as the rains had started and the river and flood plains already filling. The animal and bird diversity and density were incredible.

Savuti was incredible in its own, drier, rockier way too.

We highly commend Ben, our amazing guide and super bird identifier, and his team, Gothata (a fabulous chef), Kennedy and Gaeti (our camp builders and helpers). Monametsi, the company owner, was great and did everything possible to accommodate our every need. They were all fantastic. We would not hesitate to go with them again. In fact, we will . . . . .

Simply excellent
5/5

We wanted to combine a 7-day safari from Maun to Kasane with a trip to Victoria Falls. And we had to arrange all this while already on the road elsewhere in Africa with limited access to Email and Internet. Despite that rather restricted prior communication, Moonstroll got it all arranged. They found a very good balance between prearrangements based on their experience and flexibility to adapt to our wishes.
Especially the choice of the camp sites was brilliant. Watching wild dogs chasing a waterbuck while sitting at the breakfast table at early light certain is a lot of good fate, but the prerequiste simply is, to set up the camp at such special locations.

And they gave us this team: The guide, the cook, the helping hand. We had the luck to have Elicious as our guide - always trying to give us the perfect experience. And Didi as "chef de cuisine" - we certainly did not lose weight in those days...
We wanted to see wild dogs - Elicious found a pack with puppies on our first day.
Seeing a leopard roosting up in a tree, was fascinating for us. He kept on searching until he found that one leopard in Savuti stalking a steenbock - and managed to follow it, so we were really close all the way. Since it´s not always that spectacular, it was a real bonus, that Elicious certainly is also one of the best bird experts in the region. With all those birds around, even the noon breaks turned out to be a really exciting wildlife experience.

Exploring Kruger, Etoscha and other parks in self-drive safaris really was a great experience for us.
This Moremi/Chobe tour clearly showed us, how much more you can find, if you are doing with a really dedicated and experienced guide.
So big big thanks to the team for giving us that perfect wildlife experience.
