Amazing Experience of a Lifetime
Eddy was wonderful, tailored a trip for us and our Canadian family that was enjoyed by all ages.
Everything ran smoothly, the wildlife was amazing, the food was excellent and evenings around the fire under African skies will never be forgotten.
10 Day Botswana Tour
Three of us had a fabulous tour with Kalahari skies. Itinerary, vehicle, tent lodging and guiding were all unbeatable. Absolutely recommended!!

Perfect Safari with excellent food guided by outstanding Eddie
We, a Couple from Austria, 45y, went to Botswana with Kalahari Skies in November 2016 and December 2013.
The travel was organized perfectly including pick-ups and transfers.
The tents were clean and noble, they had a toilet inside and built up and down by the crew whenever needed.
Coming back after Safari we had a bonfire with sundowners every evening and especially the dinners (Thank you Manu!) were outstanding.
Most impressive of all was going out for Safari with Eddie: this guy knows every animal on this planet and his background knowledge is outstanding.
We were going to ZA, Tanzania and Namibia for several times and had a lot of safaris, but travelling with Kalahari Skies is something really Special!!

Safari at it's best
Organization: due to the heavy rainfalls in Jan/Feb, the travel itinery had to be adjusted, but it was perfectly organized and everything went very well. We think, plan B was even better than the originally planned trip! it was a kind of "Surprise"-Safari.
The crew is unbelievable great, pampering, super friendly, perfect in cooking!!
The safari itself was amazing, and we had a perfect guide, Eddie. Huge experience and knowledge of nature and animals and life itself. Thank you for this and these amazing two weeks!

A great experience
We had a 7 days safari with Kalahari skies. Not only did we see a lot of game, but the organisation was excellent. Mano, the wife produced delicious food. Eddi is extremely dedicated, Rainy and Max were excellent. It was a great experience for people who had no experience of the bush before. highly recommended.
11 day Botswana Essential
Unforgettable experience, beyond our expectations, amazing wildlife, comfortable camping and great food. We were in awe of the skill of our guide and the culinary art of the cook, our thanks also to those who created comfortable camps.
A 6 person group provides ideal opportunity for game viewing and photography. Our thanks for the friendship of those with whom we shared this experience.

Ten days of dream: Kalahari desert, Boteti river and Nxai Pan.
A mobile safari with a fantastic guide and the best cook in the Bush.
Landscapes worthy of the birth of the world, the encounter with wildlife, here is what I lived during ten days.
An unforgettable experience that allowed me to discover the Kalahari desert with its extraordinary fauna and flora (cheetahs, oryx, giraffes, zebras, steenbok... and a multitude of birds...), travel along the banks of the Boteti River to observe hundreds of elephants and two hunting lionesses and enjoy the vastness of the Nxai Pan with its flights of flamingos, white elephants and giraffes.
The pleasure of returning to camp each evening to spend a beautiful moment of sharing with the guide around the fire observing the Milky Way and the stars and being awakened in the middle of the night by the roar of the lion.
Thanks Eddy, Guidéon and Methéo. Everything was perfect, the equipment (tent, car, food) and your services.

This trip will be a lifetime memory!
Gideon was our guide. Matheo and Sydney cooked and set up camp. My husband and I were on safari with our 18 year old granddaughter - a 9 day camping safari in Botswana. I have been on safari the "fancy" way several times in South Africa, Botswana and Tanzania in the past and wanted our granddaughter to experience something more authentic. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our campsites were outstanding, the food was remarkable - especially for being cooked over a fire. Coming home in the evenings to the twinkling of lights and the smell of a campfire was magical. The outside showers were a treat. There was no detail left uncovered for our comfort and delight. I highly recommend a camping safari with Kalahari skies. If you can get Gideon as a guide - he is a treasure. All three together were the dream team. Go and enjoy the beauty!
2 families, 6 wild teenagers, plenty of wild animals and 2 wild guides!
It took us a long time to choose a Mobile Safari operator for our 10 night tour in Botswana and we are so glad that Kalahari Skies was the chosen one. There are a lot of people to keep happy when 2 Australian families of 5 are travelling and Kalahari Skies managed to do that with professional excellence. We were in the capable, friendly and caring hands of guides Newman and Killo. After 10 nights they were part of the family.
Every part of the safari was well planned with fabulous tents, hot showers, delicious food (keeping the vegetarian and gluten free very happy), friendly smiles, animal knowledge etc etc. However, the real reason you want to go with Kalahari Skies is because their vehicles are the best in the business. Many times we drove past other companies with open safari vehicles early in the morning to see their clients so cold and miserable while we stayed toasty warm behind the sliding windows. A couple of hours later we would just drop the windows right down and enjoy being mere metres away from the amazing display of healthy predators and their prey. Those vehicles were thrashed along the dirt roads and stood up to the test very well (we were bogged once but that's part of the adventure!)
The Bradleys and Bivianos would like to give their sincere thanks to the beautiful people that are Newman and Killo, the wonderful cooks that are George (who somehow managed to make a 50th Birthday cake on an open fire) and Matteo (who can speak Chinese), the fabulous bar stocker that is JT and our amazing 'jacks of all trades', Ronald and Matsuabe.

It's all about the guide
We had six men on a "boys camping trip" through Botswana and it was awesome! Our guide Newman was fantastic - immense store of knowledge about the area and the animals and we had great sightings the whole trip - he got us to the right places at the right times. Our mobile tented camp wasn't luxurious, but was quite comfortable, the food was great and the guys helping were both efficient and wonderful to be around. Highly recommended and great value!
