MOSU Safari Tours Local Operator in Maun has provided us more then the best that we could expect.
We were told the package was All included with no surprises, we fortunately had 2.

We would like to give a warm thank you to all the team, especially your 3 colleges of MUSO Safari that have been taking care of us. More attention, patience and friendship couldn't be given to help strangers discovering your amazing country.

I would like to recommend Mosu Safari Tours. Olivier and Fifi were so helpful to help us to set up our trip to Botswana. The country is beautiful in wild life. We loved it!

Amazing six day safari including visit to Victoria Falls
5/5

We went on a six day / five night safari with Mosu, camping wild for three nights and two at a lodge. First day at Moremi Xakanaxa, second at Moremi Khwai (North gate), third at Sawuti in Chobe then at a lodge in Kasani outside Chobe, finally visiting Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe) for a day trip. Kazer (guide), Kilos (chef), Gorata and Niemond did an incredible job making our safari unforgettable and our stay comfortable.

We saw all kinds of wildlife (just to name a few: lions, hippos, buffalo, crocodiles, hyenas, mongoose, all kinds of eagles and antilopes) and enjoyed listening to Kazer's and Kilos' stories - they are so experienced! Victoria Falls was amazing as well, especially at this time of the year when the water is high - expect to get wet!

We recommend going for at least a six day trip or even longer if you're going for the first time like us, there is so much to see and learn. We also recommend the wild camping, with the crew working to make everything comfortable and Kilos' cooking it is like living in a top hotel, except that you're in the middle of the savannah.

Great local company to go on safari with!
5/5

We spent 10 days on safari with Mosu with 7 nights wild camping and 2 at a lodge at the end and had a truly amazing experience with them. Rather than talk about my trip in detail I'll tell you first about my selection process and how I came to choose Mosu.

There are many safari companies that advertise Botswana safaris but we had a few reasons why out of all these companies we chose Mosu. Firstly, like any frequent traveller we stopped by Trip Advisor almost immediately when we started our research and found that although a relatively new company on the scene they had received glowing comments from everyone who had left comments. In fact everyone had given 5 stars. On top of this we had decided that if we get down to a handful of tour companies that it must be a Botswanan owned and run company; we wanted to make sure our money was going into Botswanan pockets, not somewhere else. We also learned that Mosu was a relatively small company and that normally means they would go out of their way with regards service. One of the final things that encouraged us to go with Mosu was the ease of communication with regards tailoring what we wanted to do with their suggested itineraries. In the end we had created an itinerary that worked for us both, starting in Maun and finishing 10 days later in Kasane.

We had decided to do our safari just on our own i.e. no other tourists so it was just the two of us and the four Mosu staff with us. This gave us ample time to get to know the team very well and we got to like them very quickly.

As mentioned above the first 7 nights would be wild camping and although we're not impartial to a bit of luxury lodges too we decided to do this so that we could really feel at one with nature, to get real close to the animals and feel like we had done everything we could to truly experience this beautiful country. And we're so glad we did.

Our tour would start in the Okovango, then on through Moremi (Xakanaxa and Khwai), Savuti then the northern Chobe park by Kasane.

Over the course of our 10 days we would have some new experiences that we've never had before on other safaris in other countries. If you think national parks are alive in the daytime just wait until night time. The noises were just unreal. The low rumblings of elephants as they strolled round and through the camp, hyenas calling, lions roaring, frogs croaking, the birds, insects, it was just an attack on the senses from sunset through to sunrise. During the early hours you would hear loud elephant trumpeting and you could even feel the vibrations of lion roars through the ground.

Our guide, Kaiser, was a seasoned vet and an excellent driver too. He could spot things with his eyes we couldn't see with binoculars. One day he spotted a tree faaaar in the distance with vultures and knew there must be a kill around there somewhere which eventually led us to a black-maned male lion which I'd never seen before. He knew how to handle those aggressive Savuti elephants protecting their young and knew all the best places to see the animals. I have no idea how he could drive for so long all day, never hit a pothole AND see animals in the distance long before us. He was the best guide we've ever had.

Meal times were taken care by Kilos. He rustled up breakfast every morning and prepared lunch and the evening meal while we were on game drives so food was always ready when we came back to camp. A really nice guy with a good sense of humour and bearing in mind we were wild camping the safari was surprisingly really good and varied.

We moved around every couple of days which meant packing up, moving on and setting up camp again. This was done with the help of the two other helpers, who were Last and Nathaniel. Very helpful, very friendly and nice people.

The bush shower was a tall roofless tent with a big bag of hot water heated from the fire and the toilet was like a small tent and a sit-down seat over a hole, both of which worked very well in the wild.

By the end of the 10 days it was really sad saying goodbye to them and after our last drink together they each took it in turns to stand up and say their own little summary of our few days together which I thought was a very sweet gesture.

We enjoyed it so much that we are likely to come back next year and see some different parts of Botswana, but we will insist on having Kaiser, Kilos, Last and Nathaniel again as they were very much as important to us on this trip as the actual safari experience itself.

I would have no hesitation in highly recommending this company to help you tailor your Botswana safari. They were very professional, competitively priced, friendly and delivered the safari we had requested. The money went into Botswanan hands and ...... oh ... I forgot to say ... this country is absolutely stunning, don't miss it. But see it with Mosu.

Mosu Safari Tours (Botswana)
5/5

My family and I had the most amazing holiday with mosu Safari's in Botswana.
Oliver the owner of the company accommodated us for everything we wanted to do while in Botswana.
We spent 4 nights in campsite's (1 in Botswana and 3 in Zambia) and 8 nights wild camping.
We were very well looked after by Madumo, Killos and Simon. Kilos made the most amazing meals on the open fire every day. When I first arrived with my teenage daughters (without my husband) Madumo put us at our ease and we felt safe even at nights around the camp. My husband arrived 3 days later and Oliver looked after him until we met up with him.
By far the wild camping was the best, what an absolute experience to have. From hyphens walking around your tent at night to hearing hippos eating grass nearby as well as hearing elephants knocking down trees and getting wild dogs walking through your camp at dusk. By far sleeping out in the great outdoors within a wildlife park in Botswana is one of the best experiences in our lives.
This was Madumo's first guiding tours with Mosu Safari's, and his experience on the wildlife and his knowledge was exceptional and safety was Paramount.
We highly recommend both Botswana and Mosu Safaris.
