Amazing experience!
My group of 5 had an incredible time on the 7-day Victoria Falls to Okavango Delta safari. We were met at the airport in Victoria Falls and everything there was handled through our lodge, including a lovely guided tour of the falls (Zimbabwe side). Our Victoria Falls lodge also handled our transfer to Botswana, where another driver met us; everything went smoothly and was very easy for us. We then had a wonderful boat tour on the Chobe River, where we saw a group of elephants cross the river at sunset. After the boat tour we met our guide for the rest of the safari, Sox, who was amazing! Sox took us on our game drives and handled the rest of our transfers on the safari. The game drives were incredible. We saw so many amazing animals, including many that Sox sought out for us. Our three nights of camping were also amazing. Our chef, Enoch, cooked incredible meals for us (taking into account our dietary restrictions), and camp manager Gaetey and camp services Jonathan made sure everything was comfortable. There was even a toilet and shower set up behind each tent! I highly recommend Moonstroll!

Perfect organization for mobile Camping in Botswana
We had a great time with Moonstroll Safari in Botswana. We have been to Moremi and Khwai.
You will get a completely individual elaborated safari with professional guiding and the comfort of mobile camping in the middle of the African bush. It is a very authentic and safe way of traveling and a perfect relaxation for your mind. It is definitely the money worth!

An Awesome Experience of a Lifetime
While I have experienced driving through a game reserve, this was the first safari for a friend and me. We are retired nurses and admittedly adventuresome. As we approached this trip, we felt some trepidation because there were some unknowns. The safari, however, turned out to be so much more than we ever imagined.
Our safari guide was Ben who had 18 years of experience and was simply awesome. Of the hundreds of questions we asked during our 10-day safari, I think he only once said he didn't know. In addition to recognizing all the animals we saw – including birds – Ben provided detailed descriptions of their behavior and habits. We learned about coalitions of lions (groups of males), bedazzles of zebras (tight clusters to fend off predators), towers (groups) of standing giraffes, and saw giraffes on a journey (the term for a traveling group). We learned how young male baboons take turns serving as sentries by perching on the very top of dead trees, so they can warn their troops when they see a predator.
Ben's senses were astonishing. One of our experiences, for example, happened while we were stopped to gaze up at two bateleurs (scavenger birds). Suddenly, Ben said, “I smell a kill”. He drove off on a side road and we came across four lionesses resting in the shade after having gorged themselves on a close by waterbuck carcass.
Ben could also recognize anything he saw. Yes, we occasionally approached a form that turned out to be a tree stump. But he could also make out the outline of lions in the very tall grass at nightfall. While in camp, he could interpret the calls of different animals and said he always slept with his ears open to what was going on.
The food was superb. Mr. E (Enoch) was our professionally trained chef. He made everything from scratch and cooked on an open camp stove. We had stews, pasta with Bolognese sauce, lasagna and the most delicious baked casseroles, and bread – all made in great cast iron pots. We frequently commented that it could have been a five-star restaurant.
Our camp assistant was Kennedy, a very personable young man who was studying to become a safari guide. He made sure we were taken care of and helped us navigate any activities associated with camp life.
There were no ticks, mosquitos or even flies. The main challenge was the unseasonable heat in early March, although it was a dry heat unlike the humid heat we experience in the Eastern U.S. Safety was not an issue. It quickly became apparent that our guides were trustworthy and very capable of protecting us. We learned – and immediately became comfortable with the fact -- that predators don’t enter camp looking for unwary tourists.
If you go, try to get the Moremi (or Chobe) Game Reserve Tourist Map. These beautiful souvenir guidebooks are available at the entrance gates to the various game reserves. They show all the common animals and birds, with little boxes to check off as you see them. I highly recommend Moonstroll Vantage Expeditions. This safari is an experience of a lifetime!
Delivered an unforgettable experience that exceeded our wildest dreams- far more than we paid for!
Our family group of four adults embarked on what can only be described as the safari of a lifetime with Moonstroll Vantage Expeditions. From the get-go, this extraordinary adventure surpassed every expectation, delivering value that went well beyond what we paid. The seamless communication and service from the staff set a high bar for excellence, illustrating their dedication to ensuring every moment was nothing short of magical.
One of the most remarkable aspects of our journey was the sheer abundance of wildlife encounters. We never anticipated seeing so many animals up close! Each day brought new surprises, from bathing elephants and leopards feasting on their fresh kills to the rare sight of lions mating. The guide's deep experience and knowledge of the terrain and animal behavior meant we were always at the right place at the right time, ensuring these unforgettable sights were part of our daily experience.
But it wasn't just the wildlife that left us in awe. The culinary experience was an unexpected highlight of our expedition. The chef, armed with nothing but firewood, managed to present us with 5-star gourmet, three-course meals daily. The magic of enjoying fresh homemade bread with every meal in the wilderness cannot be overstated. Moreover, the chef's ability to cater to our diverse dietary requirements, including vegetarian, gluten-free, and standard options, was nothing short of miraculous. It was evident that every meal was prepared with care and an extraordinary level of skill, adding an exquisite touch to our safari experience.
The attention to detail and the attentive nature of the staff throughout our stay made us feel valued and cared for. Whether it was the guide's efforts to enrich our animal sightings or the chef's culinary delights, every element of Moonstroll Vantage Expeditions' service contributed to a memorable and enriching experience. Their reliability, exceptional service, and the unparalleled value they provided have set a new standard for what a safari expedition should be.
In essence, Moonstroll Vantage Expeditions is not just a tour operator; they are creators of dreams, bringing the wild majesty of the safari to life in ways that words can barely capture. For anyone looking to embark on a safari journey, I cannot recommend Moonstroll Vantage Expeditions highly enough. Prepare to be dazzled, delighted, and utterly amazed.
