We exceeding all our expectations! We saw many aspects of Botswana’s amazing flora and fauna .
5/5

My wife and I travelled as a private tour on a 6 day tour in Okavango Delta ,starting at Maun, through Khwai Concession, Mababe Gate and Savuti National Park, the safari itself was absolutely amazing –

Xaa Safaris provided fabulous service from start to finish. After explaining what I was looking for in a safari trip, and my approximate budget, I receivedcorresponding quotation quickly. In additional, due to issues with airlines (Air Botswana temporarily canceled our flight without warning), we had to communicate with Xaa Safaris and modify the itinerary repeatedly. The owner, Mrs Nobantu, was very patient and efficient in helping us solve everything. We got a private vehicle for 6 days, Our tour guides & driver Range were patient, knowledgeable and planned each safari carefully. Range is the best safari guide we could have imagined – he has a huge knowledge on so many aspects of the safari animals and nature, and his great experience and patience in searching also for the rare animals made us see essentially almost of them!!!
We were fortunate to have spectacular views of the delta for a couple of days. Savuti National Park was magical in its own way with animals wandering past mornings and evenings elephants enjoying their happiness and tranquility by the pond. Kenny and his support team also made a lot effort, They provided us with clean and hygienic food and beverage. While we left camp and started tracking animals, they’d begun to disassemble the tents and equipment, then transported to the new campsite. When we got back to the new camping site at night, everything had been rearranged already... The tents the portable toilet, up to the bucket showers – were nice and convenient.
Our animal sightings also included many elephants, lions , cheetahs, wild dogs, impalas, hippopotamus, zebra, giraffe, wildebeest crocodiles to name a few and many different birds,, and even we saw a hyena in the evening of the last day. We exceeding all our expectations! We saw many aspects of Botswana’s amazing flora and fauna and experienced it.
Communication with Xaa Safaris was extremely friendly and efficient, without complications.

Wonderful memories and experiences on well run safari
5/5

Our family (2 adults and an 8 yr old) had a wonderful 9 day safari with Xaa Safaries staring in Victoria Falls for 2 days and Botswana for 7 days. We were immediately met at the Airport and transported to an incredible lodge in Vic Falls (Pamarah Lodge) which had beautiful rooms, garden space nad excellent food. There was a little lack of detail on scheduling over the two days but this did get sorted out and I attribute this to the fact that in Zimbabwe it was an outsourced tour operator as Xaa operates in Botswana. That said our Sunset cruise, Vic Falls tour and time there in general was fantastic. On arrival in Botswana we connected with our guide and safari crew. Everyone was professional, kind and went out of their way to make our experience incredible. Our guide was very knowledgeable and engaging about wildlife adn we were able to see amazing amounts of animals including multiple leaopards, lions, wild dogs, antelope, elephants, etc. Our cook Amos was incredibly kind and engaging and prepared amazing food over the open fire. With each meal being very tasty. We completed game drives in Savuti and Moremi and overnight makoro trip in the delta, with all being incredible and memorable destinations. As noted, they were professional, generally well organized and the cost of the safari was very competitive relative to other quotes that I received in planning the trip. We would not hesitate to recommend Xaa Safaris to friends and family based on our experiences and a very big thank you to Xaa Safaris for a wonderful trip.

Excellent service, excellent experience
5/5

Everything was excellent: organization of the tour, description, value for money, personnel (guide, main organiser, local organiser in Maun, cook, assistants during tour). The tour itself was wonderful, we saw plenty of animals, we were excellently treated, and everything exceeded our expectations.

Either a scam or terrible customer service
1/5

Watch out! I had been discussing our boat safari via email with Xaa Safaris since January of 2023 just to arrive in Maun in July of 2023 to find that my deposit had been stolen and no boat was waiting for us. I accepted a quote, completed the paperwork, signed and sent it through as requested, then on the same email string, banking details were provided for me to pay the deposit. Upon phoning them a day prior to the excursion, they said no payment had been received, and this is when it came to light that right after I emailed the signed contract, the correspondence address changed from info@xaasafaris.com to info@xaasafaris.pw. In the same string replying, this was not noticeable, so the money was paid via EFT and the receiving account was emptied - nothing I can do to have the funds returned. I have no proof that Xaa Safari is the culprit. However, considering the timing at which the fake email address became active and the fact that they never tried to follow up on our booking, despite having (via the legitimate email address) received a signed contract with all our personal details, this is either extremely poor customer service, or more likely an inside job.

Unforgettable Chobe River Front, Savuti area and Khwai Concession mobile camping safari
5/5

This safari is one I will never forget. The Botswana scenery and wildlife we experienced in Chobe and the Khwai Concession was amazing. Everything was already green after the first rains. But we didn't have any rain during the trip at all. The green trees, bush and grass made the experience even more delightful. And we still saw huge amounts of wildlife. I really fell in love with the birdlife on this trip too. In just 4 days we saw many lions, leopards on a kill, large herds of elephants, a big variety of birds, hippos, crocs and even painted dogs! And much much more like the beautiful lechwe, many young animals too and the national bird of Botswana the corey bustard. This place is unique on earth.

Our guide, Ranger, was amazing. He really knew what he was talking about. He was a good driver which showed while navigating difficult roads carefully and his approach to wildlife. I've been on quite a few safaris and I can safely say this guy is on top of his game.

The team of Xaa also provided much better tents then I expected, which were large and airy. The addition of a private bathroom was excellent. Our chef really knew what she was doing too. She turned out lovely food in camp every single time. It's amazing how the friendly staff move this full camp and set it up in all new locations deep in the bush every time. Just jump out of the well built Toyota Land Cruiser after an amazing day on safari and grab a cold drink. Take a seat in your private camp under the Botswana sky where the Xaa team takes good care of you. You can't get a better bush experience and still enjoy comfort like this, I think.

On our last night all travel companions gathered around the campfire. We had created so many memories in only four days together, it made me feel very thankful. We shared memories and stories by the fire. Xaa means fire, so a very fitting end.
