Tony and his team did their best to ensure my travel partner and I were comfortable at all times!
4/5

The food and accommodation on this mobile safari exceeded my expectations. Tony makes a lot of jokes, but is well educated on current political and cultural affairs and how they effect the natural environment. Tony is quick to reply in English via WhatsApp and email. The safaro was truly unforgettable.

Fair price for the full experience!
5/5

Probably the most amazing week of my life!

About safari in Botswana: it is a bit more expensive than e.g. Kenya but therefor you are not one of a billion vehicles surrounding the animals. I really appreciated the sustainable way they are dealing with the animals and the tourism.

Animals: we saw maybe a hundred giraffes, up to 200 elephants, 25 lions, ... all of them with babies, never would have dreamed of seeing so many! Note: we were in rainy season, you can google the differences.

About Tony / our guide:
Besides Tony there is another guide in the company called Vincent who was responsible for us. He was able to tell a lot about animal behavior, made us feel safe and it was always a laugh. Really cool guy, I really liked him!

Price:
Compared to staying in lodges (excluding those with privates reserves which are way in a different price league) you will see the same animals as everyone is doing their game drives in the same area of the park. The reason his offers are much cheaper is (as far as I can guess) due to being camping instead of staying at a fancy lodge. I didn’t mind it in any way as it made the trip so much more intense.

Staying in the bush:
For the camping we did go for the ‘luxury version’ which allows you to go toilet at night and gives you more time to relax. The latter was appreciated by all of us due to having to take in all the impressions.
The food was basic but well prepared. So there is nothing wrong with some good Spaghetti Bolognese, most food was actually really good.
The car was in a very good condition. I think up to 5-6 persons per car is comfortable, though Vincent said they usually don’t take more than 5 anyway.

The experience we had at Chobe was amazing. My family came to visit me and they were overwhelmed by the beauty of the park, the organization of the camp and the patience and kindness of Tony and all his staff. Tony was our guide during the all safari, he has a huge passion for his work and a great respect for nature and animals. It was my second time at Chobe with Tony and I had the confirmation that he is always the best choice! Thanks a lot Tony & Staff for this amazing adventure!

Tony and Staff Are the Best!
5/5

We had a magical experience with Tony Mobile Safaris on a 9 day trip (8 nights, with 3 lodge and 5 camping) in Botswana in July, 2019. The wildlife, the camping, the food, the camaraderie with the two other couples on our trip…I can’t speak highly enough of our experience. It was truly the trip of a lifetime.

Tony is the real deal. You’ll get good communication and photos on WhatsApp, but no slick marketing material or fancy itineraries. Don’t worry, though, he’s a pro where it counts—with the wildlife. We saw amazing animals, birds, crocks...more than we could have hoped for. We were very well cared for. The whole experience was terrific.

We are used to tent camping, and to us, this felt like a luxury experience. Canvas tents with cots and a private latrine. We even had warm showers a couple of times. The friendly camp staff, Ben and Jackie, did all the setup, teardown, and cooking. Campfires awaited us every morning and evening. It felt like heaven. However, if you’re not a camper, know what you’re getting into. This isn’t “glamping,” so it might feel a bit rough to you. We loved it. Tony supplies the camping equipment, sleeping bag and pillow. Be sure you bring your own towel, soap, shampoo, toiletries.

We hit the jackpot with Tony and his guides. They were knowledgeable and friendly, and happy to share their wealth of information. Vincent and Jack, led our first and last day adventures—a mokoro expedition near Maun and a Chobe River cruise near Kasane. Both were fantastic. We saw so many animals from the perspective of the water. It was mesmerizing. Tony was our driver and leader during the mobile camping portion of the trip in Moremi, Savuti, and Chobe. He always found the animals, and had a passion for getting us up close with good camera angles and lighting. Each experience, each day, brought something new and different. Absolutely amazing, it was the experience of a lifetime.

5/5

The entire experience was amazing and way above expectations. He has great staff and they Baby Sit very well!!! Tony as a safari driver is great. While we felt at a loss in the beginning, it was more of a "fear of the unknown".

Tony is an experienced guide who knew how to flush out felines many times
5/5

Tony and his staff are kind and discreet people. The camp is functional, clean and the food is tasty (a lot spicy though!). Tony doing photo, knows how to place the vehicle in order to have the right light, the right profile. It is an asset for photos! He knows how to hunt animals which allowed us to live beautiful scenes with lions, cheetahs, cheetahs etc ... And another asset, Tony is respectful of nature and wildlife.
