Beautiful wedding anniversary
5/5

Safari Lifestyles organized our 10th wedding anniversary in the Kalahari and the Okavango Delta. We stayed at beautiful lodges where the service was truly lovely.

Even though it was a special occasion we still went out on every game drive and we were lucky that it did not rain once. One time we were the only guests out on the vehicle and had a special dinner by ourselves right out in to the wilds... just beautiful

Thank you to Safari Lifestyles.

Fantastic safari from Safari Lifestyles..
5/5

We have just returned from a beautiful mobile safari in the north of Botswana and wanted to say that we were very well treated by the staff from Safari Lifestyles.

We did not know what to expect and were very happy that they recommended an extended camping trip through Moremi, Savuti and Chobe.

We stayed in lovely and large tents in very remote areas and experienced wonderful wildlife sightings. We were a little nervous at first as we did not know what it would be like staying in a tent where animals were very close, but everything was really excellent.

We are very happy we booked this safari and would recommend Safari Lifestyles for their knowledge and experience.

Awesome..!
5/5

What a vacation... Safari Lifestyles provided us with 3 nights on the Livingstone side of Vic Falls right on the Zambezi. Then through Chobe for a couple of nights. On to Linyanti for amazing game viewing with hundreds and hundreds of buffalo. We nearly saw a kill when some lions jumped on the back of one of them.

We finished off with some nights in the delta which was just beautiful.

A really well organized trip.

Beautiful Victoria Falls and Linyanti with Safari Lifestyles
5/5

We originally wanted to go to Victoria Falls and perhaps some places in Zambia. We were recommend to connect with Safari Lifestyles who provide safaris in Botswana and upon many discussions we decided to stay in Victoria Falls and then be transferred to Chobe, Linyanti and finally the Okavango Delta.

Although Botswana does cost money, we were so happy with our choice and Safari Lifestyles provided us with a detailed plan and looked after us in both Zambia and Botswana until we finished the whole safari.

We saw such beautiful wildlife and the areas were stunning. We saw many wild dogs hunting plus lions and leopards and even cheetah... but for me just sitting and watching hundreds of wild elephants coming down to drink is the best experience.

Thank you very much

Wild Dogs for tea....
5/5

Roger at Safari Lifestyles did a great job in recommending our safari lodges. We are a family of 4 adults and our passion is photography and we wanted to get to areas like the Okavango and to camps were comfort was not as important as the wildlife... we loved it...!

3 lodges in all and one with a private vehicle for just the 4 of us even though we didn't ask for it... every box was ticked in terms of wildlife but I guess the best moment was stopping for afternoon tea and stretching our legs... a pack of wild dogs ran straight past us chasing an impala. We were immediately ushered back in to the car and gave chase .... Honestly, this is the just the most exciting stuff..!

Sincere thanks to Safari Lifestyles... we plan to come back in 2017 and would use use you again without hesitation... it really helped that you are wildlife photographer yourselves and that was evident in your huge amounts of advice.

Great care, thought and discussion with Roger resulted in a truly memorable and exciting safari.
5/5

We approached three tour operators but Roger Turski was the only one who really listened and planned a well thought through itinerary. The choice of camps was excellent as we were as interested in the "small things" and birds as we were in the predators. Having said that we still saw Lion, Leopard and Cheetah as well as Wild Dogs on a kill and a massive selection of birds including the pink throated long claw. And an African Python and even a beautiful caracal!
But Roger also followed through with each camp and we were lucky in that he even managed a private vehicle for us for each day of our 15 day safari.He really did look after us and he met us for personal feedback when we returned to Man.Really expert and professional service from someone who loves Botswana and the bush.
Having been on safaris in Southern Africa for 30 years this was probably the most remarkable and enjoyable of them all.
Needless to say my wife and I thoroughly recommend Safari Lifestyles for a complete and very personal safari experience.

Safari lifestyles met my expectations as a source for information about the safari experience.
5/5

Communications about what to expect were spot on, trustworthy and accurate. We were pleased with the attention to detail expressed at nearly every camp of our safari. If they stated that a plane would be there to take us to the next camp at 10AM, that plane was there awaiting us on the runway at 10AM. Being on safari in Botswana was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I would recommend Safari Lifestyles to anyone interested in an African safari.

A dream holiday - the Botswana we would never have experienced with Safari Lifestyles
5/5

Just back from a fantastic trip to Botswana. Our third African Safari - to celebrate the birthday of my wife - the birthday whose number may not be spoken! I came across Roger Turski answering questions about photography on the TA Botswana Forum and his helpful answers convinced me to follow up and see what they could propose.

He came up with three great camps - Islands of Siankaba, for the Victoria Falls; Lebala Camp in the Linyanti Marshes, which has a very strong experience on game; and Jao Camp in the Okavango. This proved an excellent combination of experiences at a reasonable price. We arranged our own flights from Europe, but Roger booked the camps and internal flights. Throughout the process of finalising choices he always came back with fast and complete answers, focused on understanding what we wanted.

Our initial trip was meant to take place last autumn, but we had to postpone. Roger took all this in his stride and was delighted when we returned to him four months later to fix the new date.

His enthusiasm for Botswana flowed through his mails and he was extremely help both on the choices, and recommendations - such as taking a private vehicle in Lebala - to enhance the photographic experience - were always useful. The payment went through smoothly using transfer software that kept things safe and ensured a better exchange rates than visa or the banks.

Roger was expert, motivated and helpful at all times and I'd certainly recommend him to others.
