Best Botswana Safari
My wife and I went on safari with Lucas and his crew back in August 2021, and it was without question one of the best things we have ever done. We can't speak highly enough of Lucas. His passion for wildlife and conservation is second to none, and because he is an amazing photographer himself, he always stops at exactly the right spots and angles for you to get stunning pictures of the wildlife. He also excelled at providing a personalized experience for everyone in the group; some people wanted to see birds, others wanted the big game, one person even wanted to see bush babies. Lucas informed them that bush babies would be tough to spot, but he would do his best.. Lo and behold, Lucas found her some bush babies in an evening drive!! It was an absolutely amazing experience.
In addition to his exceptional safari guide skills, he is an amazing person to be around, genuinely funny and charismatic! I cannot recommend Lucas enough, and the bush camping safari provides a way to see the animals up close and personal that a traditional safari camp can't provide. The accommodations were perfect and the food was awesome, especially considering the limited equipment that the chef has to work with!
We thought that this trip was our once in a lifetime trip, but it was so amazing that we will definitely be back to see Lucas!!
Thanks Lucas,
Alex and Taylor

Amazing. Highly knowledgable.
Lucas, is highly knowledgeable guide. He knows an amazing amount about all kinds of wildlife from big game to the smallest of mammals and birds. He has a keen eye for safety, making sure that you are safe while enjoying a good deal of excitement. It was a trip of a lifetime, with my sisters, brother in law, nephew and my two sons.
Absolutely incredible!!
What an incredible experience camping in the wild. Lucas and his team were first class but Lucas our guide was simply brilliant cant thank him enough for the experience we'll never forget. The things we saw were incredible a mother cheetah chasing and killing dinner for her 5 cubs a troop baboons sleeping in the trees above us the snake that decided to sleep in our travel bag haha always close your tent. The list is endless but not just the nature we spent 9 days with a great bloke in lucas what a laugh we had. Anyone looking for a real adventure Lucas without doubt is your man.

Lucas was easygoing, fun, and above all profoundly skilled as a guide and naturalist.
Lucas Tshupo has made it his craft to share the wonders of the Okavango with his guests. He is very, very good at it. He has spent his life around the Okavango delta, and it shows. He seems to have an instinctual sixth sense regarding wildlife behavior. As we spent more time with him in the bush, it became clear that this is the well-earned reward of a lifetime of paying sharp attention to the patterns & rhythms of Botswana wildlife.
One late afternoon in Khwai Conservancy, we saw a young adult leopard that Lucas seemed to think was traveling with her mother. In a low whisper, he quickly explained several details about her behavior and stature (details which were barely visible to us) while the few other trucks that had been following this individual left the area. After a few minutes, Lucas was proven right: In the setting sun’s golden light, we watched a mother leopard appear, greet her adolescent daughter with casual enthusiasm, and wander off as a pair into the bush.
Throughout the safari, Lucas fluently and engagingly shared his comprehensive knowledge of local ecology with us. He knew every bird, tree, and insect we came across, and we felt that we were receiving a world-class education from a truly gifted teacher on the intricacies of the Botswana savanna. Many of our most treasured memories in the Delta could only have been found with his expertise – experiences ranging from captivatingly intimate to truly awesome.
Lucas is also uncannily sensitive to the needs of his guests. He was effortlessly perceptive of the energy levels of every individual in the group, seamlessly making adjustments to accommodate everyone. He knew how to make everyone feel comfortable and safe, even in austere environments. By the end of our trip, Lucas had made everyone in our group feel like family. We felt almost as if we belonged there, that the awe-inspiring natural splendor of Africa was a home away from home. When we return, we know who to call.

Photo safari, that was great. Guide himself, a photographer, knows the area like the back of his han
We, a group of 5 people, were traveling with Lucas in April 2022. From the start I met Lucas as a careful, very experienced guide who was also very concerned about our safety. Even at that He was helpful in finding a so-called 'friendly bush'. you had to.
I don't need to say much about his competence as a guide. From early in the morning, with the best photographer's light, until the beginning of the night, where the best light was also available. Sometimes we even did it Night game drives. We could see the most beautiful sunsets there and taking photos. But the starry sky was also fascinating.
The bush cuisine tasted excellent. Couldn't believe what you can conjure up anything in the bush with these means. We got Always a fresh cake with your coffee in the afternoon. The Accommodations (tents) were well equipped, you have everything you need needs. We were also able to shower every day.
Lucas always tried to do everything to our satisfaction. And that He also succeeded very well. He started trying at night has to explore where, for example, the lion's roar comes from, up to the Communicate with other guides to find out which ones are where animals are. He is very well connected there. This meant we could also have one See a variety of animals. Starting with 6 leopards, 2 even with hers Cubs, lionesses and of course hippos, giraffes, zebras, eagles etc. But the little residents also received a lot of attention gifted. He knew many of them that way, the rest were looked for together in the book.
Since he takes photographs himself, he knows exactly how to deal with his The vehicle has to be positioned to get the best view and the right incidence of light to find. If I came to Botswana again I would come back Book Lucas as a guide. I can only help anyone who wants to live something like that recommend. This is pure Africa.
