Unforgettable Safari!
No word are sufficient to describe just how awesome safari-ing/camping with Tony and his crew was! If you can, include Savuti in your itinerary...so beautiful, so peaceful. Without a doubt, I will be booking a repeat adventure with this company. Thank you Tony, Eddie, and Ben for a truly unforgettable experience.

WOW - UNFORGETTABLE "wild" EXPERIENCE.
An unforgettable experience with Tony & team. We were 20 of us who decided to spend the Easter Holidays in Savuti and we booked in time with Tony Mobile Safaris. We started our trip in two vehicles of Tony from Kasane, a town in Chobe district. After about 4 hours drive through the forest we reached Savuti. Enroute we sighted lot of animals the cherry being the 3 male lions and a lioness about 500 metres from the place where were to camp. Our camps were efficiently set up by Tony's crew. They are compact with comfortable bedding. The basic rules of the camp were explained and the ablution block was located about 100 metres from the camp. The ablution was decent. The next day morning we departed 6 a.m. We went looking for the lions. While the sun was rising on the eastern sky we sighted a male & female 'in season' and 3 other male lions within 50 metres lying lazily on the grasses. We spent about 45 minutes out of which few minutes were heart stopping as the male lion [golden sun adding to the appearance] majestically walked near our vehicle. We took loads of pictures & videos. We then took a drive around and sighted a lone leopard on a tree and and tracked it for a little distance. We also sighted giraffe, zebras, varieties of deer [boks], wildebeest, hippos, plenty of bird life. We had another drive in the afternoon and the following day 6 a.m. we departed to Kasane. We had a fantastic trip. Our comfort were taken care of by Tony, Vincent, and his other crew. It was heartening to see Tony, a Motswana [citizen of Botswana] owning and operating a safari company with so much knowledge and so humble and friendly to each one of us. All of us in our group felt this experience was unique and unforgettable. We as a team were thankful to our team leader Partha who facilitated the whole journey.

I HAVE BEEN GOING ON SAFARIS WITH TONY SINCE 2009 AND THE ONE THAT I RECENTLY WENT WAS MY TENTH TRIP WITH HIS TOUR COMPANY.
IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A WONDERFUL TRIP ANY TIME I HAVE GONE ON A SAFARI WITH MR.ANTONY NTALAMO (THE OWNER OF TONY MOBILE SAFARI)

It delivers safari excitement and tourists' expectations.
Tony's knowledge of Savuti environment - be they plants or animals or birds or weather or campsite officials - is vast and deep. He delivered answers to our ever-curious minds and we were about 20 in our group. In fact in my count I have included Tony and his fellow driver subconsciously! If safari is invariably a good experience, safari with Tony Mobile Safari is in deed a rare and sometimes a life-changing experience. Tony touched our hearts, I should say.

excellent and the most thrilling experience
It was the best safari trip we enjoyed in our life. Hats off to Tony and his crew for the spectacular experience that they offered to us. Very friendly, highly informative and very safe. Offered us the best wild life sights though it was scary to see the lions very close, i even felt its breath. Really wish to have more trips with this crew.

Absolutely Amazing Experience!
Our group of four adults spend five days and four nights with Tony and his team, exploring Chobe and Suvuti. Tony arranged for our pick up in Victoria Falls and transfer to Kasane, where he met us and gave us more details about the next five days. We spent two nights camping in Chobe and two nights camping in Suvuti. The drive to Suvuti was long, but absolutely worth it. One reason I choose Tony was his willingness to customize the itinerary and take us to Suvuti, when others weren't willing to do so in such a short period of time. We had the time of our lives. We saw the most incredible, intimate experiences in the wild. At one point Tony followed leopard tracks in the sand and eventually lead us to a leopard in a tree eating it's morning kill! From there, we saw five baby cub lions nursing and playing with their mom and dad. It was so surreal! Definitely recommend Tony and his team.

Excellent guides; a small local company
Re: Safari to Savuti and Chobe (6 days - mostly camping) with Tony Mobile Safari. We were booked with them through another tour operator but I now wish we had found them and booked directly ourselves. It is good to support a smaller, local company and I believe we had a better experience than if we had been booked with a larger, more commercial one. Our guide was Vincent and we also met the owner, Tony, as he was guiding others who camped with us. Vincent was very knowledgeable about the animals and the environment. Vincent and Tony both obviously have a genuine passion for Wildlife conservation. They were very skilled at spotting animals as well. Finally, they both had a unique sense of humour! The staff Jackie, Eddie and Ben were all great, too. The food was very good and the chef even accommodated a request for vegan food! The tents and bedding were warmer and more comfortable than I expected, too. The sleeping pads and bags were actually more comfortable than the beds at the lodges! Everyone was very friendly and the camp felt totally safe, knowing that we had very knowledgeable guides nearby. If your priority is to have as much time seeing the wildlife as possible and you'd like an authentic experience, you should consider camping with Tony Mobile Safari as opposed to booking a more luxurious option.

An Amazing Adventure
Our six nights, seven days Botswana trip was an unforgettable adventure. We went all the way from Kasane to Maun with Tony Mobile Safari. One night in Kasane for a river boat safari, one night in Chobe, two nights in Savuti and two nights in Moremi. We finished off with a peaceful mokoro tour in Maun with hippos grunting right next to the canoe.
Everything was planned out perfectly with a team of one guide and two guys who managed the mobile camp. We were amazed from how quickly the staff prepared both our meals and our big luxury tent before we arrived to the campsites. The camp were set up in great locations, the last one near Khwai river (in the Okavango Delta) where elephants visited daily.
Tony, our guide drove us in an open safari vehicle (land cruiser). To be able to drive in Chobe national park with all it’s sand, mud, water crossings and small connecting roads the driver must have a huge experience about the area, which our guide had since he grew up in the area.
Game viewing was very good. The number of different animals on the safari was incredible and the differences between Chobe, Savuti and Moremi made the trip complete. Some of the highlights was spotting wild dogs (twice!!), close up elephant encounters, a male lion having his kudu baby dinner and of course many wonderful sunsets. The birdlife in Chobe national park is remarkable too.
Tony is a well experienced guide and knows everything there is to know about nature; from the name of the tiniest little bird to the big carnivores and their behavior. He’s also involved in conserving wildlife and if you are interested he will tell you bush stories and about the issues the game reserves and the animals are facing today and in the future.
Tony is an easy going guy, always joking or singing, and that made even the long transportation days in the car fun.
Over all, we had a fantastic time and everything ran very smoothly, I would definitely recommend Tony Mobile Safari.
