A magical 10 days safari experience with Tony , 100% recommended
We had a fantastic first safari 11 days experience thanks to Tony and his team, with 4 members family and a friend. Tony is a great person who built his own company organizing safari, a remarkable guide and tracker, who demonstrates high respect for the wildlife, a great knowledge of animals and nature conservation; He is very professional and service oriented, with a good sense of humour. He is also familiar with photography and understands well amateur and professional photographers needs. The camp was very well organized by Ronnie and Ben, with Ronnie cooking very good and diverse meals . The tents are confortable, with separate shower /toilet area in each tent. We started from Maun, 4 different parks/area : Makgadikgadi, Savuti, Chobe , and morning in Victoria Falls, flight back from Zimbawe, 2 nights in lodge in Maun, 1 night before departure, all other nights in tent camp. Daily schedule is flexible, in our case we started with 6:00 AM wake up , looked for wildlife in the morning, back at the camp in the warmer hours for lunch and free time, and safari again from 16:30 to sunset around 18:15, then dinner at the camp. We could observe every possible animals , Tony found them and followed them when possible, with patience , a strong sense of tracking and observation, and expert knowledge of the parks. We warmly recommend Tony as an exceptional safari organizer and guide , he is also very respected by other guides we could meet along the way. The safari experience was great, and we were alone most of the time , or with very few cars around, which was appreciated as Tony favours uncrowded area and a genuine safari experience. The overall value for money for this safari was very good, the service offered by Tony Mobile was very reliable. We also highly recommend Bostwana as a country, with great people, and for its unspoiled nature and a very diverse wildlife. We recommend Tony Mobile Safari 100% and more !

Reliable, considerate, local, knowledgeable, would choose again!
We chose Tony Mobile Safari based on availability, package content, price and reviews. We wanted a versatile safari experience of 3 nights during the New Year and were happy to find an option offering a boat cruise on Chobe River, 1 night in Chobe National Park and 2 nights in Savuti. We preferred choosing a local and independent company, although it seemed like a bit of a gamble due to payment in advance. Everything went completely smoothly, though, and we were left feeling ecstatic with no complaints whatsoever. High recommendation to anyone travelling to Kasane for a safari adventure!
Our guide, Mabuta ("Jack"), is among the best in the business for sure! Very knowledgeable and quick to identify different animal species, full of funny and interesting facts and anecdotes, and an obvious passion and respect for nature. He was also incredibly considerate (or he could read our minds) as he stopped the Land Cruiser and was very patient in letting us observe different animals and plants from elephants to dung beetles without rushing (which is what we have experienced with some other companies). We managed to see a lot, thanks to Mabuta's excellent tracking skills and top class bush rally driving skills. Even driving bumpy and swerving tire tracks at full speed, he always warned us of bushes and tree branches. We found two lionesses with their cubs snoozing in the shade of a tree, completely obscured from view from the road. We also made it in time to see a leopard and a pack of eight African wild dogs spotted by another accomplished guide.
Our accommodation was assembled by Disha and tasty vegetarian food cooked in abundance by Ta. We were very comfortable in our tent with army style cots for beds and an adjacent bathroom (warm shower available!). We also felt very safe as the team was so sharp in recognising animal calls but had a calm and confident demeanor. The Land Cruiser had a fridge so there was always plenty of cold water and space for soft drinks, yoghurt, etc. Second breakfasts and tea breaks were enjoyed at specific locations in the nature reserve with excellent views of e.g. a hippo in his pond or a dazzle of zebras.

6 unforgettable days
When searching for a tour in Botswana, our requirements were excellent reviews, an authentic experience and a local operator. We were very lucky to find Tony Mobile Safari and, in retrospective, are extremely satisfied and happy that we picked them. First of all, the price was great. It was that good that, if it were not for the reviews, i would be afraid it is a scam. The payment is also kinda tricky and up-front, but it all went smoothly. The communication with Tony was great, he was very happy to answer all my questions and he made things feel uncomplicated. He was even happy to organize for us tours with different companies (e.g. heli or mokoro).
The team we had was amazing. Disho was responsible for setting up the tents and the camp, and he did an amazing job. Our expectations were exceeded, and the whole camping experience was amazing. We have never felt so close to nature before. It might take some getting used to (e.g. hearing hyena sounds seemingly close to the tents while having dinner or elephants probably next to the tents while sleeping) and it might not be for everyone (hole-in-the-ground-style toilets, hot bucket showers or lack of sinks with mirrors for your beauty checks), but everything exceeded our expectations and we could not have enough of this. Thabo was our cook, and none of us will forget his food and his positivity. He had almost every day something different, always super tasty and in huge quantities. Food was definitely another aspect where our expectations were exceeded by far. We often joked about how he made us all fatter these 6 days. Last but not least, our guide was the amazing Mabuta (Jack). His humor, his knowledge, his driving skills and his tracking abilities are unmatched. He was very happy to accommodate our requests, he respected nature in every way he could, he was appreciative of how we let him do what he does best and trusted him and we did not stop having fun, but without this ever becoming too much or exhausting. We had a really amazing time with all the guys and feel lucky to have experienced this safari with them.
Now about the tour itself, what can i write. We saw the beautiful Okavango delta (did the 45 min heli tour and the mokoro boat ride), we saw leopards (plural) on trees, lions chilling, lions cuddling, lions eating a giraffe, so many elephants in all possible distances and even saw wild dogs hunting twice, which was a real natgeo experience, simply unbelievable. The parks we visited were Moremi, Savuti and Chobe riverside. The safari ended with a 3 hour boat ride in Chobe river, which was also full of crocodile, hippo and elephant sightings. Having done multiple other safari tours, i would definitely put this at the top together with Serengeti. The density of animals might be smaller, but there is a different uniqueness, a feeling of more raw contact to nature (because of the number of tourists but also the camping style) and a great team who can guarantee nothing but the best.
Mabuta, Thabo, Disho and Tony, we thank you for everything, you gave us a lifetime experience that we will never forget. This group of people is one of the most no-brainer recommendations i can give from my travels. We wish you all the best,
Thomas, Poly, Giacomo and Apo
