Tony is the most knowledgable guide and affable human being.
5/5

Tony Mobile Safari is owned and operated by Tony Ntalamo, not by a company outside of Botswana that the majority of the profits go to. So if this floats your boat, it is one major reason to choose Tony Mobile Safari. The bonus is that Tony is the most knowledgable guide. I recognized this and it was reinforced by my overhearing another guide say this to his clients. My first night there was a couple who were only with us for that one night. They were on their last day of their safari and joined us. They had one of Tony's guides he trained for their main tour and said he was the best they every had. Tony is a guide to the guides! I spent 26 days with Tony and his crew. They are fun and always accommodating. Tony was the best tracker. He was always the first to find the big cats as well as the small ones. One late afternoon game drive, Tony reversed course when he smelled where the cape buffalo had migrated to and we took a look at the 500+ herd. Earlier that day we observed five lions. Tony knew the lions would also have smelled the buffalo. The next morning Tony took us to the buffalo and we witnessed five lions kill their prey. Not a common thing to see an actual kill, but it was Tony's skillfulness, and of course luck, that we were able to witness this amazing event. I have so many stories to tell! This was my fourth safari, my first with Tony. He was the most responsive to my inquires. You have to wait sometimes as he is in the bush without internet. I thought it would be my last safari. I am going back and will chose Tony Mobile Safari again.

BEST SAFARI EXPERIENCE - OVER EXPECTATION
5/5

This week with Tony's team was my best safari experience without hesitation. Tony, our guide, was an exceptional guide and tracker. He always managed to find the animals before anyone else, which provided us with unique and unforgettable moments with the wildlife. Moreover, he is a photographer, so he always positioned us in a way that we had the best lighting/view for our photos. His infectious good humor contributed to the overall great atmosphere.

The team also included a cook and a camp assistant who were equally exceptional. We enjoyed delicious and diverse meals throughout the week. As for the camp, it was always perfectly set up before our arrival, which was a luxury after a day on safari.

The highlight of the show was the water safari that allowed us to get up close with elephants and crocodiles, thanks to Jack.

In short, it was a 5-star stay that is unforgettable for all of us.

Fantastic wildlife experience without hustle
5/5

We had a fantastic time with Tony Mobile Safaris and we recommend this operator without hesitation. The guide, Jack, was very experienced and knowledgable, he knew how to track animals, genuinely wanted to show us as much as possible, knew about photography and how to park the car for the best possible lighting and pictures. Bongo and D, the team managing the camps and food were going out of their way to make things as comfortable as possible for us. The food was great, there were always vegetables and even dessert, incredible what one can do in such basic conditions.

The tour was very well organized and we had incredible wildlife sightings. Jack knew all the spots and tailored the game drives to us. The final excursion, the cruise on the Chobe river, highly exceeded our expectations - instead of bing put on a big loud party boat, which we expected, we used a tiny one owned by Tony and had a real game drive - Jack made sure we have time to see all the birds, crocs, hippos etc. that we came across.

The only wrinkle was communication before the safari - we would have liked the salespeople to be more active. We needed to ask for updates about our payments although they said they would let us know as soon as they receive the money. At one point we got a bit nervous, but in the end all worked out - trust these guys and enjoy your safari.

10/10 recommend Tony Mobile Safari if you are planning a trip to Botswana!
5/5

Tony is so knowledgeable on the areas to go and knows exactly how to get you to see all of the amazing animals Botswana has to offer (lions, elephants, giraffes, hippos, hyenas, zebras) and so much more! Tony’s team goes above and beyond to make your experience wonderful. His crew sets up camp with comfortable beds/tents/toilets/showers. They make the most incredible home made food over the campfire for breakfast & dinner; and pack delicious lunches while you are out on your safari for the day. The entire team at Tony Mobile Safari’s makes you feel welcome and at home. My mom and I did an 11 day safari, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

UNFORGETTABLE AND REMARKABLE EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME
5/5

Look no further and book with Tony! My husband and I did a 6 day Safari with him and from the moment we started to plan our trip, he was honest, quick and easy to communicate with on whatsapp, and accommodating. When we got to meet him on the trip, we also saw his sense of humor, his passion for what he does, and also how committed he is to giving you the best trip without hustle. There were two staff (Ben and Bongo) that would always set up the campsite and prepare the meals, and the variety and quality of the food was very impressive. They were also very kind and sweet individuals. We saw a ton of animals, learned a lot from Tony, and would highly recommend using him; you won't regret it!!!!

Tony and his team offer the best experience
5/5

I've done two trips with Tony, and I can say that it's on the last trip where they shined the most. Weather is weather, and we had a couple days of very bad weather (very heavy rain) - and it's in these moments that you can either see the best or the worst from people.

Tony and his team worked miracles to make it easy for us and most of all enjoyable.

Tony loves what he does, knows the terrain so well (having done this since he was a kid), and always wants to "go see what we can see before it sees us" :)

Best trip I have ever taken!
5/5

I want to offer my most sincere thanks to Tony and his company. I have been to 27 countries and have never been treated better than on this excursion. The attention to detail, the professional expertise the personalities of the guide and support staff was simply outstanding. My guide PK was a great guide and better person. He had an amazing ability to find and get close to the wildlife we were able to observe 27 species of up close. We saw lions mating. Giraffes fighting and a lion, jackals and vultures devour a Cape buffalo! Ronnie and Deshou kept our camps in tremendous condition and the food was fantastic! I give my highest rating to this company. Thank you all for the adventure of a lifetime! Ron Brown

Fantastic experience + phenomenal guide and team
5/5

Tony Mobile Safaris is an experienced and reliable tour operator that ensures your safari experience goes without a hitch. They truly live up to their motto "Have a safari without the hustle." We went on a 7-day safari with them during a time when border crossings were uncertain and COVID testing / protocols were in full force. Everything from pre-booking communications, trip arrangements, border crossings, and testing were expertly handled by Tony and team.

In addition, our guide PK was a phenomenal teacher who helped us learn about the flora and fauna during our trip, patiently answering our many questions. PK’s respect for nature and passion for lifelong learning was incredible, and his experience in the field (along with some good luck) enabled us to see a wide variety of fauna both common and elusive (e.g., lion cubs eating a boar, leopards) while also respecting the animals and their habitat. Most importantly (to us), we felt safe and had a great time during the trip with PK and the camp team.

All-in-all, Tony, PK, and the Tony Mobile Safari team provided a true once-in-a-lifetime experience in Africa and we would highly recommend booking your safari adventure with them.
