Professional
Roger was very professional in his approach and understood my requirements after one phone conversation. His recommendations were exactly what we were looking for, which made our time in the bush very memorable. We have been on many safaris with other companies but none of them have offered the personal touch that Roger offers. He knows his facts and being local makes a great difference on understanding the circumstances compared to companies who are far away from Botswana. We stayed at Tau Pan, Lebala and Little Machaba and each camp had its own special niche which Roger highlighted in detail as he visits these areas regularly. The floods affected many of the camps but Roger was able to reassure us that the camps he recommended were fine. I highly recommend Safari Lifestyles and guarantee you will not be dissapointed.

First Class Company
From the first email contact made with Roger, he was very prompt in responding and answering questions. I explained what we were hoping for and he planned the perfect itinerary. All transfer services were right on time, friendly drivers and comfortable vehicles. Lodges/camps were perfectly located and just all around wonderful. Roger also arranged a few Delta flights for us and those were on time, pleasant and unexpected fun!
deposit and final payment were simple to make, details were emailed to us with instructions. At every point of entry/exit, we were met by someone who guided us to where we needed to be. We all highly recommend Roger and Safari Lifestyles.

Great trip by Safari Lifestyles
Our children are awkward ages and we struggled to get what we wanted in South Africa initially but then came across Safari Lifestyles who recommended a few options for Botswana which we initially thought we couldn't get to.
Lodges were out of our reach for 5 of us but Roger organised a private mobile safari for just us.... we were surprised at the price turning out to be very reasonable for 9 nights.
This was brilliant and a huge education not only in nature but in life for us all, especially the kids who being the outdoors type back home, loved it.
Elephants, lions, leopards, wild dogs. giraffe, etc etc and especially for Samantha our youngest whose only interest was in warthogs. we saw everything close up.
I guess this review is asking whether you should consider using Safari Lifestyles, well we think they are the absolute best!!!!

Incredible Botswana wildlife with Safari Lifestyles
I wanted to firstly just say that this has to be one of the best vacations we have ever had.... Botswana is simply beautiful and we had an incredible wildlife safari.
Initially it was a difficult choice between Tanzania and Botswana but we could not have made a better choice.
We came across Safari Lifestyles though a friend and they were amazingly helpful and very quick to respond. They have photographer who showed us his images of the wildlife from the places we wanted to go and his advice was the reason we chose Botswana.
Thanks to Roger and the team for an incredible memory!!... 10 nights in lodges without too much rushing around. We want now come back in a different season to experiences the differences in the country.
Highly recommend Safari Lifestyles

They are the reason why you should always choose a local tour opeartor!!
Extremely well organized and informed.
We were two couples from England and had taken plenty of advice already, much of which Safari Lifestyles agreed with and some not agreed with. What they did was to get the "on the ground" details just right... they obviously know all the areas very well and were able to pass on their feelings to us fluently.
I think being on location really does mean they are the most experienced in providing you with simply the best safari. Our lodge experiences were simply spot on.
Seriously good show.

Very well thought out and and very helpfull
We had only been to the Kruger area before a few years ago and had heard how wonderful Botswana is from a friend of our who had booked with Safari Lifestyles previously.
Kruger feels much smaller the reserves we went to seemed like blocks where you could not travel far. Botswana is huge in comparison and we really felt we were in a wild area and not a game park.
We contacted Roger and he was polite and very helpful and is obviously very experienced. He showed us his amazing photographs from the areas he recommended and the lodges he sent us too were very good... and he was right that in December the prices are lower but it is still not rainy ... we saw no rain...
This is the best safari we can imagine and we saw everything like wild dogs and a caracal at night..
We would recommend Safari lifestyles and Botswana very much.

The bush at it's best !!
What another exceptional and unforgettable trip this bush experience was ! The two camps visited in the north of the Okavango delta were at the highest standard; the people - all the staff - have been outstanding by their knowledge, their passion, their desire to share. With a very special mention to Shawn in Machaba : thank you so much !
The preparation of that trip with Safari Lifestyles has been perfect; we got exactly what we were expecting with the African bush hospitality and the specific game we wanted to see! Leopards were there in quantity!!
Very well done guys and a big thank you

Everything was dealt with perfectly
We were interested in water activities in the Okavango as we had never done this before on any of the many safaris we had been on.
Safari Lifestyles advised us of some lodges to go to and suggested that our stay in these camps where a bit shorter than we initially thought.... a very good suggestion and 3 nights was more than enough as our expectations were a little different before we booked... They obviously know their stuff very well!
So we shortened out water bits and stayed longer in traditional game viewing camps.... definitely the way to go...
Seriously one of the best safaris we have ever had and Safari lifestyles were really very good in advice and service.

Great safari and a great experience
My husband and I had never been on safari before and chose Botswana as we wanted to visit some very good wildlife areas and stay in Lodges. Safari Lifestyles seemed very knowledgeable about all the areas and gave us great advice.. We chose to book our 10 day lodge safari with them as they were very quick to respond to our questions and didn't hide anything with great prices. Our daughter now wants to go and we have recommended them to her.... Thank you for a great trip.
