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.

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.
Out of Botswana with incredible memories that we will cherish forever!!
We (my partner and i) went on a 6 day private safari, with an excellent team of guys, which covered Moremi, Savuti and Chobe National Park. In the initial stages the communications with Monametsi were excellent and quite clear. So it did not take us much time to finally customize our safari the way we wanted as we were dealing with an excellent communicator who not only provided answers to our myriad questions but also actually paid attention to what we were saying before offering us suggestions and advice. The guide, always playing and making jokes, was the best we could have ever asked for. He was very skilful when it came to maneuvering the vehicle along the dirt roads in the parks but at the same keeping an eagle’s eye on everything that was going on in his paradise (the bush), from tracks on the ground to subtle movements in the tree branches. It was amazing at what he could spot while driving on these winding dirt roads! The food prepared on the fire was simply incredible. The entire staff was friendly and very helpful.
The end result was a trip that left us feeling pleased and very thankful to the organizers.
