Did the camping safari and it was amazing. Hearing the animals at night was fascinating.
Our guide, LT, was great. He would follow the lion paw prints to find us a lot of lions. Many times we were the only ones watching them. Sarah and Gordy were great moving the camps from site to site and the meals were great as well.
The night game drives were fascinating at Khwai Concessions. Saw some animals and an owl we otherwise wouldn’t have seen.
Lucky was very responsive in my emails prior to the safari which was very comforting.

Great Experience in Botswana
We are group of seven family members, from US and China, we booked the 8-day Botswana tour with Kalahari Marsh Safari in late May. The trip started at Maun and ended in Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. Lucky was the organizer, LT was our guide, Sarah was the chef, with two other helpers for the daily work. They all accompanied us for the entire trip.
We have been to E. Africa safaris before, but we stayed in lodges all the time. This trip was the first time we did camping for multiple days. It was a great experience. Sarah cooked good food every day. LT is the best safari guide we have had in Africa. He has 35 years of experience as a guide, he knows the habits of all the animals, and has the knowledge and instinct to find them. We observed amazing wildlife in Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park. It was a beautiful place to experience Africa. Listening to LT to share his lion encounter stories was an added plus.
Lucky was very responsive in setting up the trips, he answered questions quickly, and patiently. The itinerary was full and busy. We get up at 5:30am everyday for the morning game drive. The 8-day trip certainly was not luxury. Sleeping in tents can be cold. But we saw wild dogs and hyenas around the tents some nights. These were unique experiences. Some days the drive was long and dusty. Our equipment truck had a couple of breakdowns, but Lucky and the team fixed the problems without much impact on the schedule.
We highly recommend Kalahari Marsh for Okavango Delta safari.

An Excellent Experience All Round
I did a Mokoro ride and bush walk in the Okavango Delta and it was a great experience. Lucky was very helpful throughout the booking process and the trip was very well organised. The Mokoro ride was interesting and relaxing and the bush walk was a good experience also. It was great to spend the day with the guys also - very nice guys and great to chat with.

Very flexible, quick to answer all my questions, super friendly and was wonderful to meet in person!
LT our guide, Sarah our chef and Lucky created a trip of a lifetime for my son and I. With an affordable price and the flexibility to do what we wanted. LT is a veteran guide and knows where to go and how to find the animals. Sarah created the most delicious meals. We camped the whole time in tents. The three of them created a lovely camp each night for us. If you’re looking for an outdoor adventure full of wildlife, caring people and a true Africa experience, then connect up with Kalahari Marsh Safari Holidays.

Most knowledgeable & incredibly friendly tour operator
If you want to have a very knowledgeable guide, who has eyes like an eagle to spot animals, knows what he is talking about and tries his very best to make you feel comfortable & taken cared of then don't look further. Lucky, owner of Kalahari Marsh Safari, is your man! I couldn't believe it, how easy it was to book veery spontaneously a tour with him and just how nice he was from the beginning til the end. He even waited for me to get in the bus (until 11pm, the bus was 2 hours late!) and made sure I was safely in the bus :)
I'm already planning to come back to Botswana, but this time I'll book a multi-day Camping trip to really get the Safari feeling as well as learn as much as possible from Lucky.
If I could, he'd get 10 stars..not gonna lie. A tour I will never forget, also maybe because a lion came to my side of the car and looked straight into my eyes hehe. So awesome! Thank you Lucky, I'll be back!

Excellent trip
Our guide Lucky provided an excellent briefing the day before at our Lodge and was an excellent safari driver. The actual boat tour and walk was ensured by the local community guide who had an excellent reading of the animals. The four of us (+ 2 guides) have seen plenty of hypos and other animals. Very satisfied of the tour!

Best in class - wealth of knowledge and life for their homeland.
Coming from the US, there seems to be a stigma about traveling to Africa: lack of infrastructure, dangerous for tourists, etc. I experienced the exact opposite. The people are some of the warmest and prideful I’ve ever come in contact with.
Our tour group was equipped with anything and everything we could ask for. I felt safe in their hands and blessed to be accompanied by guides that offered a wealth of knowledge about their land, the wildlife, the people and their traditions.
Anyone who seeks a unique experience in land less traveled MUST check this company out, you will not be dissatisfied but rather most grateful!

Very knowledgeable guides who we now call our friends!
Our game drives not only offered amazing value for money but also surpassed expectations in terms of the immersive journey through the country's beautiful areas. The guides, TT and Gothi, played an huge role in shaping our adventure; their expertise and passion for the region were evident in every aspect of the trip. Their ability to navigate remote areas with ease and share insightful information about the wildlife added immense value to our experience. What stood out most was the genuine connection we formed with them, transcending the typical guide-tourist dynamic. TT and Gothi went beyond their roles, becoming not just guides but friends, and it's this personal touch that has made our memories of Botswana truly unforgettable!

Extremely competent and friendly team that go out of their way to provide the best experience
Our trip in Botswana would not have been the same without the incredible service that Lucky and TT provided us. We were self-driving, and initially had only booked guiding services for the first few days of our trip. However, we decided to prolong and rebook our guide TT for the remainder of the trip because of how great he was and how rich the experience with him was. After going for an average game drive with a lodge, we realized that we wanted TT back! From helping us with campsite bookings, to spotting the most elusive animals, we felt so well looked after by this team. There is nothing more we could have asked for. TT's knowledge and life experience in the region is priceless, as is his sense of humor and caring nature. The team was extremely easy to communicate with before the trip, and made sure everyone was on the same page and everything was accounted for. We were sad to leave Botswana, but even sadder to leave our new friends! You will not regret hiring this team for your safari.
