Perfect way to experience the Okovango Delta
We booked our honeymoon (3 day wild camping in the Delta) with Kalahari Breeze in 2020, and finally managed to go because of how accommodating they were with COVID. We cannot recommend this highly enough - Maria and Chris are an incredible team, who clearly know exactly what travellers like us need/hope for on a trip like this, and were just wonderful hosts - communication before & during the trip was excellent. Once there, they work directly with the local community organisation to employ the mokoro polers and field guides who make the tour so fantastic, which was wonderful because you know you are directly supporting local people. KB, our guide, was superb - knew every bird/animal/plant we came across with fascinating information about each. The food cooked over an open flame was skillful and excellent, and our camp manager Richard ensured we were more comfortable than we'd thought possible! The beds, en-suite tents(!) and shady gazebo for meals were the perfect backdrop to experiencing the dream of the Okovango Delta. We can't wait to book a trip for an anniversary, and will certainly book through Kalahari Breeze. Thank you again Maria, Chris and team!
Before the trip, we stayed in a Maun Lodge (queen room with river view and balcony), which was the perfect start and highly recommend it.

There were many amazing experiences. The drivers and guides made the trip a wonderful once in a lifetime opportunity. I HIGHLY and without reservation recommend this company and this trip to everyone. My husband was having some issues with his back, Everyone was very kind, helpful and caring and ensured he missed nothing at all.

The trip of a lifetime!
In July & August we (2 adults and a 7-year-old boy) had a marvelous time in Botswana and Zimbabwe thanks to the great effort and expertise of Kalahari Breeze Safaris! Maria and Chris aligned with us during many weeks before the trip started to get the itinerary we were looking for. Please note that especially Botswana is quite exclusive and busy during their high season (July – October). This has much to do with the remoteness of the locations, the availability of roads and the lack of mass tourism. In return we got the trip of a lifetime! Kalahari Breeze Safaris made suggestions on our wishes and also managed our expectations well on travelling circumstances. Eventually we did wild camping in Moremi, stayed in a wonderful location in the Okavango Delta, had the time of our lives in the beautiful Savute area, and visited the unforgettable Victor Falls. The kindness of the people we met is unmatchable. If you ever dreamed of visiting the real Africa please consult Kalahari Breeze Safaris!

Great to work with - we had a Wonderful Trip!
Anne - We couldn't have been happier with the safari company we picked, Kallahari Breeze. I gave them a list of the things we were interested in doing and seeing, and told them our vibe was "comfortabele but not luxurious". That is exactly what they provided. From our first contact they were very responsive, quickly answering our emails. We found them amiable to deal with, and just the same when we met them in Maun. They gave us all the information we needed, and the arrangements they worked out for us came off without a hitch. We decided mid-trip to change some game drives to game walks and that was immediately accommodated. If your safari turns out as happily as ours, you will have a happy safari indeed.
Michael - Maria and Chris were the best to work with, and were willing to consider any option we wanted. All of our guides, contacts and connections were reliable and on time. We enjoyed all of the guides and camp staff we worked with. Great value and the best company we could have chosen for what we were looking for. Thanks so much!

Flexible
My wife and I and a friend of ours visited Botswana for about 6 days. We loved Botswana and our time there. We booked our entire trip with Kalahari Breeze Safari. Maria was very helpful with adapting the tour to meet our interests and setting everything up ahead of time months in advance. She was very helpful working with our budget. We did a No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency Tour in Gaborone with Andy (very knowledgeable and friendly) and were in the capable hands of Chanda as a guide for much of the rest of our trip. We learned about the inhabitants and culture of Botswana. We hiked in the beautiful gorge of Goo Moremi, seeing baboons and learning about the history and natural beauty. We were awed at the beauty of the Khama Rhino Sanctuary, seeing loads of wildlife. We also experienced wildlife up close through a national park from a SUV. (Lots of bumpy sand roads to see these great animals, btw) We capped off our trip with an exhilarating Mokoro Boat trip and short hike in the Okovango Delta near Maun. We stayed in fantastic accommodations along the way, particularly Waterside Cottages, Maun Lodge and Goo Moremi Gorge Resort, which were all secured by KBS. It was a trip of a lifetime.

Amazing experience
Our experience with Kalahari Breeze was extremely satisfying.
We decided to book the "three river safari" tour for our honeymoon with some customizations.
Maria, the owner, since the very first email was strictly focused on our needs by preparing a tailored package and providing us with continuous assistance, always being available and quick to respond to our doubts or on-going questions.
The staff is highly qualified and always pleasant in explaining the ecosystem with specific focus on habits and characteristics of the wide range of animals we had the opportunity to see during the different safaris. Special mention to Thsidi, a thirty years old guide, very professional, friendly and devoted to his job.
We highly reccomend to visit Botswana by booking with local agencies such as Kalahari Breeze in order to reach the best price to quality ratio.
