Authentic and Unforgettable Safari
My boyfriend and I just came back from an amazing 7 days Chobe - Savuti mobile safari trip with Tony. Before the trip, I was a little worried as I did not know what to expect since it was our first time visiting a safari, and also the first time I did camping. However all those worries went away as soon as I saw how professional Tony and his team was from Day 1! They did their best to make sure that their guests are comfortable and well taken care of. Everything was always ready for us. We just had to eat, sleep and go out to look for the animals.
Our bush master, Tony is a nature lover and an avid photographer. He is very sharp and a natural at tracking the animals. We saw everything we hoped to see! Tony is very knowledgeable about the wildlife and would answer any questions you have.
Tony has a great sense of humor and made the trips fun. Eddie is an excellent cook and made sure our tummies were filled. Washa took such good care of us that we felt so pampered throughout the trip. The whole tour was such good value!
It was definitely a fun, authentic and unforgettable safari experience to be able to be sleeping in the same grounds as the animals.

One of the best journeys ever
We just returned from a 7 day tour with Tony through Chobe Waterfront and Savuti on a camping safari. The experience was overwhelming. Tony proved to be an excellent guide and a great host.
Tony himself obviously is a great wildlife enthousiast and passionate photographer. Being a photographer himself he offered excellent angles and light of the animals he tracked for us (we will never understand how he does it: even in wild bush he would find an hyena for us, he tracked cheetahs, lions, and a huge variety of other animals). Other than I experienced on previous safaris, all the animals were very active, making the photography extra interesting.
The tour was well organized and left nothing to be desired. What was a very pleasant surprise was that he offers 220 in the Jeep for loading camera batteries, which was a thing less to worry about. The helpers Eddy and Mash were very friendly and served lovely food on the trip. For the two of us this was one of the very best trips we ever made. Thank you very much Tony and Merry Christmas!
Excellent Service
I used Tony Mobile Safari to visit Chobe National Park. The visit was during the wet/low tourist season and I was travelling solo. I originally tried to book a safari through the hotel I was staying but the tour operator did not provide tours for solo travelers in the wet season because it was not cost effective. I went to Kasane town and came across Tony Mobile Safari. Tony arranged a guide, tour, and transportation even for solo travelers. The guide was very knowledgeable, drove throughout multiple routes in the park to find the best animal viewings, and provided excellent information and details about each animal encountered. A great experience with great service I highly recommend Tony Mobile Safari.

What a thrill!
Tony Mobile Safaris exceeded my expectations in the areas of customer service and the care they provide into making the safari experience genuine. Anthony and his coworkers are all friendly, and ready to help with any concerns. As a tour company, they handle logistics of where and when to go, and help set up camp and provide amazing foods. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who's considering a safari in Botswana.

Awesome camping safari
I had such a great time on my safari. There were three of us, and we did a private three night camping safari. If you are looking for everything to go perfectly then look elsewhere. But if you are looking for a true African experience, are willing to be flexible and looking to have fun this company is definitely the way to go. I enjoyed not only learning about the animals but also learning about the Batswana people. Would highly recommend.

Excellent and safe experience
I have no doubt that Tony and his team are the best in Botswana. He took I and 2 friends in a overnight Safari in Chobe National Park. He is quite talented to find the best Chobe can offered, and we felt very safe with him, besides he is a good cook. Highly recommend his services.

Tony is the most knowledgable guide and affable human being.
Tony Mobile Safari is owned and operated by Tony Ntalamo, not by a company outside of Botswana that the majority of the profits go to. So if this floats your boat, it is one major reason to choose Tony Mobile Safari. The bonus is that Tony is the most knowledgable guide. I recognized this and it was reinforced by my overhearing another guide say this to his clients. My first night there was a couple who were only with us for that one night. They were on their last day of their safari and joined us. They had one of Tony's guides he trained for their main tour and said he was the best they every had. Tony is a guide to the guides! I spent 26 days with Tony and his crew. They are fun and always accommodating. Tony was the best tracker. He was always the first to find the big cats as well as the small ones. One late afternoon game drive, Tony reversed course when he smelled where the cape buffalo had migrated to and we took a look at the 500+ herd. Earlier that day we observed five lions. Tony knew the lions would also have smelled the buffalo. The next morning Tony took us to the buffalo and we witnessed five lions kill their prey. Not a common thing to see an actual kill, but it was Tony's skillfulness, and of course luck, that we were able to witness this amazing event. I have so many stories to tell! This was my fourth safari, my first with Tony. He was the most responsive to my inquires. You have to wait sometimes as he is in the bush without internet. I thought it would be my last safari. I am going back and will chose Tony Mobile Safari again.

BEST SAFARI EXPERIENCE - OVER EXPECTATION
This week with Tony's team was my best safari experience without hesitation. Tony, our guide, was an exceptional guide and tracker. He always managed to find the animals before anyone else, which provided us with unique and unforgettable moments with the wildlife. Moreover, he is a photographer, so he always positioned us in a way that we had the best lighting/view for our photos. His infectious good humor contributed to the overall great atmosphere.
The team also included a cook and a camp assistant who were equally exceptional. We enjoyed delicious and diverse meals throughout the week. As for the camp, it was always perfectly set up before our arrival, which was a luxury after a day on safari.
The highlight of the show was the water safari that allowed us to get up close with elephants and crocodiles, thanks to Jack.
In short, it was a 5-star stay that is unforgettable for all of us.
