Outstanding Safari in Botwsana
My brother and I organised a 15 day Safari in June 2025 with Sox, who owns Reflect Africa Expeditions. Our expedition included the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, Makgadikgadi Pans and Nxai Pan, Moremi Game Reserve, Khwai, Savuti and Chobe National Park. We particularly wanted to travel and experience the Kalahari and the Okavango Delta - the rest we left to the expert Sox. WOW! What a fabulous holiday. Sox runs a very well organised operation, however, even in today's modern world, things don't always go to plan. Sox was quick to rectify any unforeseen hiccups along the way - always we ended up in fits of laughter - he has a great sense of humour. The tenting was perfect, spacious, with comfortable camp stretchers and in a separate area a composting toilet and camp shower. The camp sites were beautiful, without exception.
We saw a myriad of bird life, and the animal sightings were wonderful - we saw all manner of African wildlife, from herds of elephants and giraffe, springbok, prides of lions, dazzle of zebra, raft of hippo, and were lucky enough to see a group of cheetah, a leopard, a serval (that was exceptional!) and a group of African wild dogs with a new litter. Hyena, jackal, bat eared fox, so many animals we were hoping to see, but you just never know if you will be at the right place at the right time. Sox was dedicated to giving us the absolute best wildlife experience. Also the topography in Botswana is just beautiful, the Kalahari was sublime, the Pans too were quite stunning, and the Delta was different again, truly special.
My brother and I were in a vehicle with Sox; a delightful South African couple and a Welsh lass were with another driver also with Reflect Africa Expeditions, so we utilized the same campsites and had great evening conversations around the campfire.
Meals by Amante were delicious and varied - he is a very skilled cook - and the other attendees; Teetee, Molah and Obsah were friendly and ever helpful. There's a lot of work in setting up camp and having everything ready for our evening arrival.
We plan to return to Botswana and will definitely use Sox and Reflect Africa Expeditions. I can highly recommend them, Sox did everything to make our trip exceptional, we were lucky to have chanced upon Sox and his wife Fatima - beautiful people!

Excellent safari in Botswana
We had a fabulous 10 day safari with Reflect Africa Expeditions. We travelled as a group of 4 and travelled to CKGR, Moremi, Khwai, Savuti and Chobe. Sox is very knowledgeable about wildlife and his identification of birds by their calls is very impressive. He was very cautious and did not take any unnecessary risks which was very reassuring and allowed us to stick to our itinerary. He was able to organise a last minute meerkat safari which was the perfect end to a great trip to Botswana.
Mobile camping was very comfortable and the tents were very spacious with large beds, bedside tables and modern luxuries including a chemical toilet and heated water for showering. Maps and Scarro cooked delicious meals throughout our days of mobile camping including burgers and salad, traditional Batswana cuisine, pastas and even baked bread and cake! Obsa was very handy to have around for spotting during safaris and a good mechanic. The lodges Sox chose for non camping days were also comfortable and to a high standard. We very much enjoyed our trip, thank you so much to Sox and his team. We will definitely be back!

Unforgettable Botswana Adventure with Reflect Africa Expeditions!
Our 11-day Kalahari, Okavango, Savuti, and Chobe tour with Reflect Africa Expeditions in April 2025 was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we met Sox and his incredible team, we knew we were in for a truly special experience. This mid-range camping and lodge mix perfectly balanced the thrill of immersion in the African wilderness with comfortable and welcoming accommodations.
Sox's deep knowledge of the region, its wildlife, and its ecosystems was truly impressive. He expertly guided us through each location, ensuring we had incredible wildlife encounters while always prioritizing the animals' well-being and our safety. His passion for Botswana was infectious, and he effortlessly shared fascinating insights that enriched our understanding and appreciation of this breathtaking country.
The itinerary itself was fantastic, offering a diverse taste of Botswana's wonders. The stark beauty of the Kalahari, the tranquil waterways of the Okavango Delta, the raw wilderness of Savuti, and the abundant wildlife of Chobe – each location left us in awe. The transitions between camping and lodges were seamless and well-planned, providing a welcome mix of adventure and relaxation.
And let's talk about the food! Every meal prepared by the team was absolutely delicious. We were consistently impressed by the variety and quality of the dishes, especially considering the remote locations. It truly felt like we were being treated to gourmet meals in the heart of the bush.
Beyond the incredible wildlife and stunning landscapes, it was the warmth and professionalism of Sox and his team that truly made this trip exceptional. They were attentive to every detail, always cheerful and ready with a smile, and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. Their genuine care and passion created a fantastic atmosphere throughout the entire journey.
If you're dreaming of an authentic and unforgettable Botswana safari, look no further than Reflect Africa Expeditions. We wholeheartedly recommend Sox and his team for their expertise, their dedication, and their ability to create a truly 5-star experience. This adventure has left us with memories we will cherish forever!
Magnificient trip into the heart of Botswana
Since years we looked for a small Botswana-located provider to make an old dream come true: crossing the wilderness of Chobe Park and Moremi Game Resrve on a 360km distance trip from Kasane to Maun. Sox and his Company guys helped us to realize our dreams perfectly. Enormous knowledgeable Sox teached us permanently about fascinating wildlife on our long trips on the sand roads. We felt real great hospitality, starting the day with a warm bush shower; we always felt warmly provided by an outstanding delicious food catering. My great thanks to Sox and his guys who organized a great trip through the wilderness we will never forget anymore. It couldn't have been done better. So we wish Sox and his company the greatest possible success for the future.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE
Reflect Africa Expedition helped make our dream vacation to Botswana come true! Everyone was knowledgeable and friendly. Sox (our guide), his wife Fatima, and all the staff were like family to us. The accommodation was good and the food was excellent thanks to Obza, Toko, Gee and our chefs Maps and Skara!! We were able to do and see so much. The wildlife and landscape were unreal.. seeing the lions, giraffes, zebras and so many other animals in their own habitat was such a memorable experience!! The hospitality we received throughout our trip exceeded our expectations. Thank you for the amazing safari, for so many laughs, memories and great photos.

Sox is extremely knowledgeable about conservation and passionate about the environment.
We wanted our Safari to be a once in a lifetime experience and it certainly lived up to that!
It was exciting, it was scary (for me ) at times, we were in places and on roads we never dreamed we would go on, we laughed a lot and held our breath as we made our way along deep Botswana sand roads.
We ate scrumptious meals prepared by Maps the cooked on a fire in the middle of nowhere - who bakes banana bread and buns in the bush? Arnold prepared our tent with an ensuite, and warm water always provided in our wash stand, lovely comfy bed for a good nights rest ready for the next days adventure.
I am disabled, it was a laugh a minute getting me in and out of the vehicle, always lots of helping hands.
Unforgettable experience with all my dreams of a Safari coming together.
Thank you to the crew Sox, Maps and Arnold for all the planning you put in for my comfort and making it possible for me to experience this Safari.

Sox gave us a unique African experience of Botswana.
My wife and I planned this safari with Sox last year. We chose Reflect Africa Expeditions because it was local based in Maun. We discussed a possible plan and then refined it to suit us. We are both 75years old and my wife needs help at times walking. We wanted to go to see as much wild game as possible away from a traffic jam of tourists when an encounter occurs. We set off from Maun with Sox who is our guide/driver, Maps the cook and Arnold who runs the camp set up. We spent 2 nights at Nxai Pan camping under the night sky listening to the animals singing. We saw lions, elephants, buffalo and all the game animals of the plains. Next we had 5 nights at Khwai in Moremi game reserve camping on the banks of the Okavango. Sox took us on numerous game drives reading the footprints of the animals to find an abundance of lions and all the plains animals. We did a Mokoro up the river and came up close to herds of elephants and enjoyed the birdlife. After this we went to Savuti and saw lions eating an elephant. As we drove towards Kasane we marveled at the giant baobab trees and came up close to a leopard. We had 3 days at Chobe in a waterway of beautiful African animals. A sunset boat cruise up the Chobe river looking at elephants, buffalo, different antelope, zebras, giraffes and birds up close was a great way to finish our safari. We had caring and knowledgeable people looking after us for the entire trip. Thanks to Sox and his team Maps and Arnold we had a unique experience we will never forget.

Very friendly tour operator. Great!
We had a beautiful one-day trip to the delta, including a mokôrô trip, a small bushwalk, lunch and drinks. We met friendly local people and experienced a beautiful nature (birds, antelopes, otters, hippos, elephants, etc.).
