Shipungo delivered the safari of a lifetime - wildlife, bush luxury & wow moments
5/5

We’ve just returned from an unforgettable 4-night safari through Moremi, Khwai, and Savuti — and it was nothing short of spectacular.
Our guide, Kem, was phenomenal. Thanks to his expertise, we saw an incredible array of wildlife: lions (lots of them!), four cheetahs, leopards, several hyenas with their adorable cubs – one cub even inspected our car (magical!), zebras, impalas.. Elephants were everywhere — majestic herds crossing rivers, mothers guiding their calves, and lone bulls silently moving through the mopane woodland. Every moment felt like a scene from a wildlife documentary — only better, because we were living it!
Kem wasn’t just a brilliant guide; he was also a masterful driver. He even rescued other vehicles stuck in deep sand — once while lions watched from just meters away! It was reassuring to have someone so calm and capable at the wheel.

The rest of the team — Shine, KT, and OJ — were equally impressive. They set up our camp at all three locations, served delicious meals, and catered to our dietary needs flawlessly. Everything ran smoothly, and their warm hospitality made the experience even more special.

A big thank you to Mark, who planned the entire trip with great care and patience, answering all my many questions along the way. He also arranged our travel from
Gaborone to Maun, including a fantastic driver, Emmax, who was not only reliable but also great company.

Pro tip: If you're planning to travel from Savuti to Kasane by road, be aware that the route is extremely sandy and rough. It’s a long, bumpy ride — not ideal if you have back issues. In that case, consider flying from Savuti to Kasane for a much smoother experience.

We had the time of our lives and will absolutely book with Shipungo Safari & Tours again. It’s the best value for money and an experience we’ll treasure forever. Highly recommended!

Our trip with Shipungo exceeded our expectations in all respects.
5/5

We did a 10 day camping safari in Chobe River, Savuti, Moremi National parks and Kwai concession. The four of us had a tremendous trip with Shipungo.
The office was responsive and able to accommodate our starting point in Victoria Falls. The logistics of crossing the border were perfect.
Once on safari, our guide Kem was really great at finding animals then getting us in the best position to view them, especially the cats, hyenas and wild dogs. He also has extensive knowledge of the fabulous Botswanan birds. We were thrilled by the variety and number of animals that we saw.
The campsites were always neat and in beautiful places. Chef Shine made incredible meals over a wood fire. Other camp team members OT and KG were always friendly and helpful.
We also really enjoyed 2 boat trips (on the Chobe and Kwai rivers) organized with Shipungo's partners.

Getting up close to the wilderness
5/5

We had a wonderful time on our Okavango delta mokoro safari! Our guide and chef were amazing and it was incredible getting up close to the wilderness - an experience very different from a car safari. At Shipungo, they were very responsive and they even lent us their binoculars.

Very professional and involved
5/5

2025 was a second time when we chose the Shipungo to arrange our safari in Botswana. We spent 10 nights in Makgadikgadi and Nxai Pans (once overnight ‘under stars’ next to Gweta, you should try this !), Moremi and Savuti. The trip was organized very well, there were no problems at all. Very skilled and experienced camping staff was providing us a bit comfort in a bush conditions as cleaned beds, hot shower and so on. The meal was prepared in perfect way by the chef Shine on the time and very tasty. We had the opportunity to see unspoiled and wild nature, were guided by Kem. He knew the terrain and the habits of the animals very well. Looking for animals is obvious activity in the safari trip, but the whole surrounding, environment and ‘wildness’ is worth to see and touch; they know how to do it.
Shipungo is flexible and reliable, they can advise where and when you can go to see interesting things. They have reasonable prices.
It was excellent!

Well organized great experience
5/5

The whole planning of the safari in the Okavango Delta was very good. Especially our pole man - guide Freddy was excellent in spoting the wild animals and in protecting us from them during our walking safari on the island. Great experience.
