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

Wild Dogs for tea....
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.

We are very thankful to Roger for helping us find a dream holiday...

Beautiful Victoria Falls and Linyanti with Safari Lifestyles
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
Awesome..!
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.
Fantastic safari from Safari Lifestyles..
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.

Beautiful wedding anniversary
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.
Botswana has to be the best place in the world for wildlife... period!
My partner and I have never been to Botswana before and were not keen to spend too much money on lodges. Safari Lifestyles recommended that we look at a 10 day mobile safari... what a great recommendation!!
We were nicely met at the airport (much smaller than we thought) and shown to our safari guide and other guests. We then traveled for about 2 hours until we reached the gates of Moremi which is a National Park in the Okavango Delta. Then we drove slowly for another 3 hours or so on a game drive through the most beautiful landscape with many animals.... incredibly, we saw 3 lionesses resting in the sun..! Eventually we made it to our campsite which was seemingly in the middle of nowhere, very remote and literally just us and the rest of the guests. It was such a beautiful setting with water close by and elephants in the trees as we arrived.
The camp was already laid out for us and all we had to do was drop our bags off in our really large tents and then get back on to the vehicle for the rest of the afternoon ending in a beautiful sunset drink (a feature of all the afternoons) by a pool full of hippo.
This set the tone for the rest of the safari and we moved on through Moremi then Khwai, Savuti and finally Chobe for a stunning and private boat trip.
Safari Lifestyles website is very comprehensive and its good to be used as a reference, we looked at the itinerary they had for this trip and it was spot on... They really did look after us very well although there was no need to deal with them whilst we were there as the mobile safari covered everything from the moment we arrived to the time we left from Kasane.
The accommodation was really very good and quite big.. The food also was brilliant considering that we were in the middle of nowhere and in private areas all the time. I don't really have a highlight as we only came back a few weeks ago and our heads are still spinning... I can tell you though that as I write this early in the morning in Chicago, its freezing outside but that can be a welcome relief as the bush was incredibly hot, we were told that October is one of the hottest months though.
We gave up trying to count the different types of animals we saw, but i think we really did see everything including wild dogs. We were told they are very rare but a specialty in the area.
We had a nice email from Roger from Safari Lifestyles just keeping in touch after our return and making sure all was OK... we even met him in Khwai, he was there on his own taking photos in his own car.
Would we go back to Botswana?....YES
Would we recommend Safari Lifestyles?... YES

BeaLovely elephants of Botswana on out boat and lodge trip
We contacted Safari lifestyles for a special trip for 4 of us and we received wonderful advice from Roger.
For 3 days we stayed on a small island in tents and went on safari in a private boat. sometimes we had to get out and push the boat through sand. It was very exciting to see many hippos and elephants. We also went walking a few times and came across a buffalo which the guide said had been killed by lions.
After the boat safari we stopped back in Maun for one night and then for 5 nights into lodges. This experience is very different and very comfortable and the country is just beautiful and wild with many animals to see. We remember this holiday very much and value the experiences we had with real wildlife. I could not stay asleep at night and I loved to see the elephants pass right by our lodge room.
Safari Lifestyles was very helpful in placing us and we did change our minds a few times and were thankful for their patience. We would like to come back to Africa again soon and would definitely use Safari Lifestyles again.
