Amazing six day safari including visit to Victoria Falls
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.

Amazing experience. Amazing staff!!
Mosu Safais is the most professional and amazing safari company in the world. I traveled with my family and did a 12-day safari and I highly recommend it. Monsu staff is outstanding and professional. Our guide Teby was amazing, he knew everything about animals and took the time to answers all our questions and more importantly he respect the animals and knew how to interact with them. Thanks to his commitment and patience we saw all types of animals. Dandy was the best chef ever, he cooked amazing meals for us. All the meals were 5 starts (much better than any meal we had in restaurants or in at any hotel). Joe and Taparo, made the campsite our new cozy home, the tents where always clean and comfortable. They take care of us with love patience and happiness.
To sum up, if you want to have the best experience of your life choose mosu safari. You will never regret it. And you will never forget it.

Great local company to go on safari with!
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)
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.

Great experience from start to end
Mosu safari were very professional and the communication was very quick and smooth. On the day of the trip they picked me up, briefed me on next steps and got me to the Okavango Delta. There I spent 3days, 2 nights in a tent, with a bed, shower and a toilet. The walking safari was always very informative and we've seen a lot of the wild life. We have also done few mokoro safaris, which were also amazing. Mosu safari provided food (breakfast, lunch, dinner) during the whole stay that was cooked on the fire and always tasty. Tha staff was very pleasant and helpful. It was a great experience and I highly recommend it.

Professional and nice
As a backpacker I was struggling to find any affordable 1 day safari tour in Maun. Which is difficult in Botswana, especially in march, which is low season. All agencies tried to sell me private tours.
And then I came across Mosu Safari Tours, they came up with a good solution for me and eventually I did the safari with them and I liked it very much
What I also liked is that they were very attentive and they paid a lot attention to me as if I were a big german group of rich elderly people, not a solo backpacker looking for affordable prices. Other agencies seemed less interested
Totally recommend

Amazing experience, well organized, a never forget experience.
Mosu Safari made our 12-day holiday with my family amazing. We went to Victoria Falls and went to different National parks in Botswana.
We had the opportunity to see a lot of animals with their babies, was great! We learned a lot about Botswana and its animals thanks to the patience of our guide Tebi, and we ate a lot of delicious food on firewood (thanks to Dandy :) the best chef ever).
The attention, the food, and the service exceeded our expectations. The staff at Mosu Safari made our stay in Botswana incredible.
Thanks to Tebi, Joe, Dandy, Mapelo, and Kemi for pampering us and making our trip unforgettable.
The value for money, service, and attention is very good.
Mosu safari is highly recommended, they make an unforgettable holiday possible.

Very organized, caring, and great communication.
We did the 2 day/1 night Mokoro excursion and could not be happier with it. The boat ride through the delta was beautiful and unique, but the game walks were probably even better. It’s great to be able to walk through wilderness so close to all the wildlife when we were so used to driving at this point in our trip. Scar was a great guide and had all the answers for our questions, whether they were about animals, travel, or Botswana in general. The food, amenities on the island, and other staff were also great. Absolutely would recommend.

Two nights camping in the Okavango - an unforgettable experience
Totally recommend this 3 day mokoro camping safari. There was just the two of us and we loved it.
Tony and Kemy from Mosu Safari Tours briefed us on what to expect the day before we went in, and on the trip itself we were superbly looked after by Joe (Mosu staff member) and well fed by George (our cook). We also very much enjoyed the company, and helpful support provided by our mokoro polers, and Emanuel, our knowledgeable guide and tracker on the game walks.
We really liked the fact that the mokoro polers and the nature guide were drawn from local villages on the edge of the delta and that these communities were benefiting as a result - eco-tourism as it should be.
We also found it rewarding to be fully immersed in the environment and interacting with game animals on foot (as opposed to the more contrived and slightly voyeuristic norm of driving around and observing game from the comfort and protection of a vehicle). Whilst this undoubtedly induced higher adrenalin levels at times (coming as we do from a country with no dangerous wild animals) we never felt the least bit unsafe.
