Absolutely awesome
Our two week tour of the Kalahari, Okavango and Savuti with Nalange Mobile Safaris was the trip of a lifetime.
This was my second safari in Africa after visiting Kenya and Tanzania in 2009 - and it far exceeded my expectations for up close viewing of the wildlife and camping comfort in the national parks.
Thanks to Nalange and Botswana.
Guide Tebla has an incredible ability to track and find animals - and position the vehicle perfectly for the best viewing possible.
He also shared his vast knowledge of the wildlife, birdlife, local culture and plant species - all in his calm and super friendly style.
As well, the hospitality, cuisine and comfort in the camp settings was second to none.
Chef Penyo’s meals were delicious and were presented immaculately. Camp helper Mike was always there to make sure the tents, dining table and vehicle were clean and tidy; the fire kept burning and the bucket showers were hot.
We had a fantastic trip and couldn’t recommend Nalange Mobile Safaris more highly.

Trip of a lifetime!
I highly recommend Nalange Mobile Safaris for your African/Botswana safari. We had a wonderful experience with owner/guide, Tebla and his crew, chef Penyo and all rounder, Mike. Our 16-day curated safari included 5 different camps from the northern Kalahari, a waterfront Okavango Delta concession, Moremi National Park, Mababe Lodge and finally the magnificent Savuti in the southern section of Chobe National Park. Each offered a different type of landscape and experience but in all Tebla led us to exciting viewings of all the animals on our wishlist and more including leopards, wild dogs, hyenas, lions, cheetahs, elephants, hippos, zebras, giraffes, oryx, warthogs and several different types of antelopes including springbok, impala, steenbok, kudu, eland and other rare sightings. Plus a myriad of birds! Tebla has a wealth of knowledge in tracking, animal behaviour and, of course, identification. This knowledge, combined with an impeccable eye for the best photograhic angle and light, translated to a myriad of animal and bird sightings and a photographic feast.
Our camps were basic, glamping style in magnificent settings. The food was exceptional with a menu designed by chef Ruth, (Tebla’s wife and co-owner) expertly cooked over a campfire by the ever-smiling Penyo. Veggies and fruit; delicious desserts; local and international dishes for mains; salads or hot dishes for lunches in camp. Coffee/tea and cold drinks, naturally, sundowners to round out the day by our camp fire under the setting sun.
Our days fell into a rhythm of morning and late afternoon game drives with each drive revealing something new and interesting. The open safari truck was tiered for optimum viewing for everyone with the chill of cold mornings warmed by our fleece-lined ponchos - just one of the thoughtful extras that Tebla and Ruth provide that takes this company above its rivals.
Tebla is kind and considerate with a great sense of humour and a drive to try and give you a safari with everything you could wish for. Safety of course is a priority and we were given detailed briefings and reminders of appropriate behaviour around wildlife. Although at times only a metre away from lions or other big game, I always felt safe under Tebla’s guidance.
Organisation was seamless with arrangements made through Ruth, smooth with any questions answered quickly.

Exceeded High Expectations
We booked a 9-day safari with Tebla, owner of Nalange Safaris, upon the recommendation of friends that had gone on safari with Tebla two years prior. I had been on safari 3 times before (twice in Kenya and once in Tanzania), but this was the first trip to Africa for the rest of our group. Tebla exceeded all of our expectations.
Prior to the safari, Tebla was easy to communicate with and designed the trip to meet our needs. He was sensitive to the physical challenges of our party (one uses a wheelchair and cannot stand). The mobile safari camp accommodations were comfortable, the meals from his chef were incredible, and his and his team's hospitality were top notch. We stayed a few nights in lodges when we were not in camp, and the lodges Tebla selected also exceeded our expectations. Logistically, everything went very smoothly (which is hard to pull off in that environment).
Tebla is an incredibly experienced guide and is highly knowledgeable about the wildlife, history, and culture of Botswana. We saw every animal we had hoped to see, including a leopard and wild dogs on multiple occasions. He explained not just how to identify the various species, but also their behavioral patterns. His tracking abilities are the best I have seen, and I fully believe we would not had seen as much wildlife as we did if we had gone with another guide.
I cannot recommend Tebla highly enough!

Fabulously well organised, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and skilled owner/operator.
The amazing 2 night 3 day Okovango Delta safari was the most memorable experience of all time. Communication beforehand was excellent providing detail of the tour. Tabla the owner/operator is really experienced; ensuring my husband and I felt completely safe and comfortable at all times. His ability to enthusiastically seek out animals and birds was astonishing, ensuring we did not leave disappointed. We did a walking safari and glided along in a Mokoro canoe and learnt so much. We did it all and saw it all! The camp set up was fabulous with ensuite tents and comfortable above ground beds and quality warm bedding. The camp person and the cook were so friendly and helpful and the food exceptional. It was sheer luxury in the most beautiful setting. It was incredible value for money and Tabla the nicest person you could meet and a very skilled driver.
Of huge convenience is the excellent accommodation, Acacia Cottages in Maun, which is operated by Tabla’s wife, Ruth. We stayed there before and after the safari and cannot rate the experience of the whole ‘package’ highly enough. We recommend this exciting luxury safari and the delightful, caring owners Tabla and Ruth.

Unforgettable mobile safari with an expert guide!
We had an absolutely fantastic mobile safari experience with Tebla. Tebla’s knowledge of nature and the area was impressive, he knew exactly where to go and when, which meant we got to see an incredible variety of wildlife that we wouldn’t have found on our own.
In addition, the food during the trip was delicious and plentiful, and the tent setup was comfortable and well-organized. Communication before and during the trip was smooth, and Tebla made us feel safe and well looked after throughout.
In terms of value for money, this safari delivered on every front. We would highly recommend Nalange Safaris to anyone looking for an authentic, well-guided safari experience with a guide who truly knows the area.

Amazing tracker!
Tebla, our guide, really took his time in looking for and tracking some of the more difficult animals to see. He has a huge knowledge about the animals and gave us lots of information about them. We enjoyed the pop-up meals and snacks, and delicious camping dinner. We had a great two-day safari with him.

An Absolute must for anyone who is enjoys nature.
This safari far exceeded all my expectations.
The scenery and wildlife that I witnessed was absolutely incredible. I was super impressed with the density of wildlife and I saw every single animal that I had hoped for and then some. Not only was I able to catch a glimpse of each animal, we truly saw these animals in their natural environment, caring for young, eating, drinking, resting, communicating etc... It was incredible.
Beyond the safari experience, the staff was top notch and took this already incredible experience to the next level. They were incredibly knowledgeable and willing to answer all of my questions. They are incredible drivers and were able to track down all the animals that we were hoping to see. The chef was unbelievably talented as I had never imagined that I would eat such delicious meals in the bush.
The accommodations were extremely comfortable from the tent itself, to the bed, to the warm shower!
I could not recommend this experience and Nalange any more!
Enjoy!

Personal and Professional
Everything was perfect. They provided clear communication and any questions we had were answered promptly. The service of everyone involved was superb. We opted for a private tour and we had 3 people assisting my husband and I. We couldn't have asked for a better tour and we highly recommend Telba and Ruth and all of their team.
