An Excellent Experience All Round
5/5

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.

5/5

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
5/5

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
5/5

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.
5/5

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!
5/5


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
5/5

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.

Amazing experience with Kalahari Marsh!
5/5

Four of us went to Botswana and hired Kalahari Marsh for our entire 18-day trip. We were initially assisted by Lucky who accommodated to our last minute requests, changes and bookings both before and during our trip. After learning about the experience we were looking for, Lucky went out of his way to provide his recommendations and itinerary adjustments to ensure we checked off all our boxes. Lucky is honest, helpful and a pleasure to work with.

Our guides were TT and Gothi and they were AWESOME! By the end of the trip, we were all a group of friends just hanging out and enjoying the beautiful Botswanan safari’s. TT was our main guide and he knew everything. The amount of information that he shared with us added to the amazing experience.

Generally, you never know when you’ll return to a destination, but this time it feels different. It feels like we would be going back to visit friends. We cannot wait to go back!

Unique experience
5/5

I participated in a 4-day safari in the Okavango Delta and Moremi Game Reserve. From the very beginning, the communication was excellent, and Lucky (the tour operator) promptly answered my questions. It was supposed to be a shared safari, but other participants couldn't join. Lucky organized a private safari at the cost of the shared one. Along with me, Lucky, LT (our ranger), and Sara (the chef) participated in the safari. The team was very friendly, helpful, courteous, and we had a great time.

During the four-day safari, we saw all the large animals from Moremi Game Reserve, and LT was excellent at tracking animals and providing insights into their lives and local communities. They took care of me from the moment I arrived in Maun until my departure from Botswana, even though it was a week after the safari.

The meals were delicious and exceptionally well-prepared, and Sara understood my needs perfectly.

It was a fantastic experience, and I would gladly choose Kalahari Marsh again in the future.
