December 2022 trip Okavango Delta amd Moremi
We travelled with Moonstroll Vantage Expeditions during December 2022. We first use them to book Makoro trip into the Okavango Delta. They soon proof to be reliable, on time and very knowlegable about the local area with friendly staff that was most hospitable. We loved their service so much we used them to take us in to the Moremi the following day as well and once again they delivered making our two days with them most memorable. Just love their work and if you looking for a great experience and affordable price you will not be disappointed.

Outstanding Camping Safari (10-Day: The Okavango Delta & Chobe Adventure Trail)
We are absolutely lucky to have booked our safari with Moonstroll. What did us led to such a good review? Oh, there were many things and I want just to mention the most outstanding events, otherwise you would need to read a whole book.
We arrived happily at the airport of Maun, not so our baggage. As our 10 days safari (10-Day: The Okavango Delta & Chobe Adventure Trail) started already early in the morning of the next day, the manager of Moonstroll (his name is Monametsi) tried to figure out where our baggage is and to get it. We were so happy to hear in the second day that our baggage has arrived at the airport, that Monametsi will get it and bring it to us. Most things for the safari were in there. What we heard that if you have not a direct flight to Maun baggage is often delayed and it is advised to haven an extra day in Maun before a tour starts.
My wife and I had four people caring for us during the camping safari.
First of all, there was Ben who was our guide and driver. We were amazed how he was able to spot even small animals from far away. Without him, we would have missed most of them. In the sand, he also read footprints of animals and we followed them. Or he listened to birds’ voices or saw them flying and knew what other animals must be close nearby. Also Ben’s driving skills on sandy slopes were exceptional.
Then there was Gothata our chef. It was miraculous what meals she prepared on the fire. We expected to get simple meals but were surprised by a big variety of tasty meals.
Finally, there were Kennedy and Gaety. The gave all support that is needed for such a safari as put-up tents, helping in the kitchen, find firewood, and lots more.
Most of the time, all four work together as one team for safaris trips. You see this as they are working hand in hand, knowing each other very well and there is relaxing atmosphere.
Also the safari infrastructure was ways better than expected. We had a tent where you could stand upright and where was enough space for the luggage. For a shower, we always got warm water. The 4x4 safari vehicle was big enough, made for rough slope conditions and granted an almost 360-degree angle view for spotting animals.
All this we enjoyed as a private tour for a really fair price. Thank you so much for all the extraordinary experiences.

A perfect safari experience
I booked a safari to Moremi and Khwai with Moonstroll for me and my teenage son. Their service was absolutely perfect. Our luggage did not arrive with us, which gave us some worries because we were missing essential equipment, but Moonstroll made up for it: They took us to a supermarket and a clothes store, gave us blankets instead of our missing warm clothes, and a torch. Our guide Frank impressed us with his off-road driving skills, tracking skills and deep knowledge about any single animal and plant we encountered; he even knew the German names of many of them. The meals prepared by our cook were delicious. 100% recommendation.

Mobile Safari 5 Day (mokoro and moremi)
We, a family of 4 (kids age 10 and 11), were looking for a trip to Botswana/the Delta to finish a long journey through Namibia and Botswana. We choose to do a mobile Safari - which was a absolutely perfect decision. It is an unbelivebal experience to sleep right next to all the wildlife.
Monametsi, our contact at Moonstroll, is a 10 out of 10. He answered questions always immediately, gave us all needed information, took away our concerns about the mokoro (yes, the mokoro really was the best Part of the Trip), welcomed us at the beginning and helped us to get the PCR Tests done to fly home. Also my first thought about transfering money somewhere you don‘t know - I would not hesitate doing it with Moonstoll.
As I mentioned, the Mokoro was the best part of this trip. We got poled by local people to the „Island“ where we spent 2 nights. There we were doing walking safaris, seeing the „usual“ game as well as elephants, buffalo and even 6 lions - on a walking safari! Unbelievable, such an experience! Also the local guides doctor and gottfried were doing an awesome job, my son still talks about gottfried - he was just outstanding, even if he couldn’t speak that much English (that was doctors part), but he was the one spotting everything and making jokes all the time. Both of them were even playing cards with us as we‘ve been in the camp for a break during the day and were telling stories at the camp fire at night. On the Island also the Chef and camp assistant joined and did a good job. The tents were very comfortable and the meals cooked over the fire were good.
The 2 nights after the mokoro were supposed to be in Moremi. As the Guide we had for the next days, forgot his license, we were not able to stay in Moremi over night. Monametsi and the Team tried to find a solution, so we ended up at another place about 45 minutes away from the gate where they organized a night and a morning safari besides a full day in Moremi. Because of what happened and communication or the not existing communication at first point from the guide, this part was a bit disappointing compared to the first 2 nights.
I would definitely go again to Botswana and if I would have the choice of a mobile Safari or a fly-in with lodge, I would go for the mobile one.

Mobile safari 10 days
We took a safari in July 2021, 2 cars, 4 people each.
Overall, I liked the organization of the camp and the service.
Monametsi quickly solved all the problems that arose during the pandemic. And despite the general lockdown (it was announced 3 days before the arrival of my group), we were able to visit all the parks that were indicated in our tour. These are Savuti, Kwai, Okavango Delta, Kalahari and the island of Cubu.
I'm going to do at least one more tour with this company.

An incredible experience
We just returned from an amazing safari (6 days moremi safari)!! Everything was perfect, the camp was wild but comfortable.
The staff was very careful, the food was delicious.
Our guide focused on what we wanted to see but in the end we saw a lot of animal : leopard, lion, hippos, giraffe, elephants...
I recommend withtout hesitation !

The best safari experience ever!
We changed our minds about 10 times about what kind of trip we would like to do, but Monametsi had an option to all our ideas at an affordable price. We decided on 3 tours in the end both game and water safaris. His communication was excellent, he accommodated all our meal requirements and made the whole safari experience unforgettable. They were on time, provided excellent food and blankets for the chilly mornings during the trips.
Ben is the best safari guide ever, he really went the extra mile to find and show as many animals as possible. And we saw a lot! He also shared interesting facts about the wildlife.
If you plan to go to Bostwana, I would highly recommend Moonstroll Vantage Expeditions, you won't be disappointed. I will definitely be back once again!

Guides were Rockstars!! Saw big 5 up close and personal.
I never thought I would be less than 10 feet away from two male lions eating a water buffalo! This was a once in a lifetime adventure that was well worth going on. We saw tons of wildlife and our guide pulled up right next to them, sometimes eerily close. We were very fortunate that we did get to see the big five but it is not guaranteed. We went in the winter so we saw all of the babies - elephants, hippos, hyenas, rhinos, lions and more!
Our team, led by Teenage, was outstanding. I have to say, I was a little worried when I found we would be sleeping in tents in the wild but the food was awesome, (thanks to the Chef!!) the accommodations were comfortable, and the camp setup / breakdown was handled without a hitch. If you plan on going, be prepared for many hours of riding in the open safari vehicle. We did get to stretch our legs some but there is minimal physical activity.
I would highly recommend Moonstroll when considering a safari.

One day trip to Moremi game reserve was one of the highlights of our entire trip
We did a one day game drive in Moremi as a family of five.
The communication through email leading up to the trip was spot on.
Monametsi came and met us when we got to our camp to introduce himself the night before our tour to give us a few more details about the following day. He was a very lovely man, a great person to talk to and we felt very comfortable that we were going to be in great hands.
The day was fully catered, the guide was very knowledgeable, and the overall price we found was good value.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Moonstroll Vantage Expeditions, they were fantastic!
The three male lions we saw were a highlight of our entire trip, and something our kids will remember for many years to come.

Very professional and honest. Good guide and great meal, all in a 1 day game drive
Very good the safari in the Moremi game park for one day. Maybe 2 days of safari allowed to see other scenarios.
