Truly unforgettable experience
I went for a 5-day safari trip in Okavango Delta with the guide Meier, and I would say this is definitely one of the most amazing trips I have ever done. Before the departure, whenever I have questions, I can always receive prompt responses and suggestions from the staff. Then, at the beginning of the trip, I was totally surprised by all the setup of the camping facilities and all the services provided from food to cleaning. As a backpacker and camper myself, I can tell how much effort the staff have put into to make sure all the guests feel comfortable during the safari and I am always amazed by their attention to even little details like giving us towels when we just got back from the morning or afternoon game drive. In terms of the safari itself, that's an even more memorable experience: our guide is very experienced, insightful and passionate about wildlife spotting, and he is not just randomly exploring by luck, but is synthesizing different pieces of information to find the most probable route and behavior of animals. There are always ups and downs when it comes to the number of wildlife we saw every day, but even on the dry days, I don't feel way too disappointed because I can really feel the efforts our guide has made. I am really glad that I chose Early Kingfisher for my first safari and they really helped me realize the magic and charm of safari in Africa, and I am already hoping and planning to come back and go with them again in the foreseeable future.

Fantastic Guide and Company
Our 14-day safari, camping 4 places in Moremi and Chobe, was spectacular. Sam’s tracking expertise and knowledge of the complex network of back roads gave us many opportunities to enjoy lions, cheetahs and other wildlife all by ourselves. We felt so fortunate.. He knew every bird by song/call, the location of stars and planets , local ecology, the social history of the several lion prides we visited and much more.. The staff was equally expert at making the camps our homes. Food was fantastic, bed comfortable and campfires greeted us each morning and evening. I’m already plotting our next trip with Early Kingfisher..

A wonderfully memorable experience!
I just completed an 11 day safari with three friends led by Samuel Mopalo, owner of Early Kingfisher Safaris. We were in the Chobi River area, and the Okavango Delta, and stayed in three different camps. The large tents with bush bathrooms attached were roomy, and the beds comfortable. They even have electric lighting. Leave your dirty clothes, and they come back laundered and folded every day.
The number and variety of animals was unbelievable. Sam is a first class tracker, always finding the animals, and positioning us in the best spot for photo shots. Sam has incredible knowledge of all the animals, birds, and flora of the area. One day he noticed some tracks and said the elephants are headed to the watering hole. We raced there just in time for rush hour, with over 100 elephants coming to the hole! We saw 53 hippos one day, 17 giraffes together, a group of 18 wildebeests, so many beautiful lions, leopards, and on and on. People who have been on several safaris said they never saw what we saw. We saw at least 50 elephants, giraffes, and zebras every day.
Sam has a great crew. PK the chef cooks gourmet meals over an open fire in cast iron pots, with freshly baked bread 3 times a day. Khomo was always there to help, as well as Lesh and Khem. They catered to our every need. BZ greeted us with warm water and wash cloths twice a day after the game runs, attended to us at meals, and had our favorite cocktail ready around the campfire before dinner.
It is hard to explain how wonderful this safari was. You have to experience it to understand, and I encourage you to do so. It changed my life.

AMAZING!
We saw so many animals and birds. We saw prides of lions, the marsh pride, the north pride, the xini pride. We saw leopards, rush hour at the watering hole with over 100 elephants. We sat quietly at another watering hole to see giraffes adjust to get those long necks down to drink. There were hippos, zebras, impalas, red lechwe, wildebeests, kudus, water bucks, buffalo, ostriches. This was the most amazing trip I have been on. Sam is so knowledgeable and has a great eye for great photo ops.
The crew kept us very comfortable and well fed.
Early Kingfisher Safaris is the place for an amazing safari experience!!!

Phenomenal
If you are considering a safari, I highly recommend Early Kingfisher Safaris!! Sam is so knowledgeable about the animals and their behaviors, is an expert tracker, and has a great eye for great picture opportunities. His crew is top notch. The accommodations and food were beyond my expectations! It was a trip of a lifetime!! I would gladly add more exclamation points.
When I was on the plane, looking at my pictures, a fellow passenger commented on the quantity and quality of the animal pictures and videos I had. She had been on a few safaris and said she was disappointed in the lack of what she saw. She is definitely booking with Early Kingfisher for next trip.
Ke a leboga, rra Sam!
