Incredibale and exciting journey
The operators was always available and response soon. Take also care about any idea fron us and was passioned whne we changed our shedule again. They make excellent proposal and suggestions to make the joureny even more excided. The one remark are in regards the price transparence and arguments about it. But in general the package was so good that we choosed it.

Posted on Dec 5, 2022Hi Bodo,
I am extremely glad your tour worked out so well. I was quite a bit of options we had to look at, with some changes along the way - but we were happy that we could tailor-make a package suiting your specific needs. With all the changes, additions, removing of options and looking at different packages, I am aware that keeping thread of the package costs might have become confusing. However, when you decided on the final package - I did confirm to you that pricing was correct as Cailyn calculated - and still offered additional discount. the package, as you know after your magnificent experience, is brilliant value for money.
I am glad that your experience far surpassed any small qualm you might have had in the process.
Warm greetings,
Leon & Team

Good tour with a couple caveats
Good tour with responsive staff. Boteti camp provides a nice winderness feel with comfortable tented rooms and washrooms. Caveat is that Moremi Game Reserve is 2.5 hours away (one way), which we overlooked when booking (our fault). When booking, know that your safari day will be tiring because you have to leave at 5 am.

Posted on Dec 5, 2022Hi Harry,
Thank you for your review. Botswana is a very expansive area, sometimes not with long distances to cover but road conditions taking up a lot of time too! We are however pleased that you had a good time while staying with us.
Warm regards,
Leon & Team

Well organised but overpriced
We had an overall great experience with Mzansi. Our stay at Boteti river lodge was great and the activities were nice. The food was likewise good and the staff friendly, but considering we weren’t even 48 hours there, the price was simply too high for Botswana.

Posted on Dec 5, 2022Hi Thomas,
Thank you for your review and we are glad that you enjoyed the experience. For a 3-Day & 2-night package, compared to what is available in the same area - our pricing (for international guests) is very competitive, and level of amenities offered much higher.
We have done our research quite well on this - but still appreciate your input.
Kind regards,
Leon Steyn

Best option to visit Kruger Park (and Panorama Tour)
I have to say that I was traveling alone and hiring a package with Mzansi Experience that included everything (hotel, airport transfers, safaris and food) was the best decision I made after doing so much research and finding out. First of all, the hotel (or camp) is very comfortable, it has heating and air conditioning, a refrigerator and everything you need for a wonderful stay. It is about 30 minutes or 1 hour from the entrance to the Kruger and they organize excursions with specialized guides, they are punctual and breakfast is included. Please ask Michael as a guide, he is the best and with him you will have the opportunity to see many animals, it is incredible. The people at the hotel are friendly and very professional. The experience included the Panorama Tour and it is a must, you cannot leave the place without that excursion. The hotel food is very good and dinners are included, the beds are comfortable. I have to say that for a woman traveling alone I felt safe and cared for at all times. I think that for the person traveling alone it is the best option since there is no public transport nearby and guides are needed to visit the park. I was never charged for two people, which I found very important because many operators there ask you to pay for 2, which is a scam. The package includes being picked up at the airport round trip, it's great. In short, do not find out more, contract with Mzansi and do not worry about everything, without wasting time.

Accommodating, helpful, suggested tour plans, listened to all our needs and fulfilled them.
Fairly pricey but worth every penny spent. Prompt communication answering all our questions and providing excellent suggestions. The service we received before the tour began and then during the tour was superb. Extremely reliable and kept to our schedule. If we had any requests during the tour they worked hard to accommodate and fulfill our requests. I highly recommend the services of the tour guide David and Kay and their crew.

True astonishing wildlife experience, everything we could dream of, and more.
A truly unique experience. We booked 3 nights in the Moremi Game Reserve. The journey began the evening before the scheduled departure with a meeting with our guide, David. We discussed the itinerary for the next day, and he explained the organization of the trip, providing useful advice for life in the bush. We immediately became friends with him.
The next morning at the agreed-upon time (7 am), he picked us up at the lodge in Maun with the fantastic Toyota Land Cruiser, which never let us down, and the safari began:
Day 1: A mokoro ride on the Boteti River and a transfer inside the Moremi Game Reserve (with camping at South Gate) with an afternoon game drive.
Days 2 and 3: Full-day game drives with breathtaking sightings and photographs at the level of National Geographic, if not better.
Day 4: The last morning game drive to bid farewell to the wonderful reserve and return to Maun.
The team consisted of:
* David, the guide, probably the best guide in Botswana, well-versed in all the park's fauna and flora, tireless in driving and providing explanations and stories, a deep connoisseur of the Moremi Game Reserve and all its trails. He speaks impeccable English, always making himself understood, and was super helpful and very friendly.
* Gladis, the young cook, a true talent in the kitchen. Whether it was dinners in the field or packed lunches, she always delighted us with typical Botswana dishes. After 12 hours in the savannah, it's important to eat well and plenty.
* Mt, assistant cook, and handyman, always with a smile on his face, kind, helpful, service-oriented, friendly, and always ready to make us laugh in the evenings after the game drives with his jokes.
* Moses, the assistant guide, David's right-hand man in the bush, always attentive to spotting any animal and also a great connoisseur of the savannah habitat.
And it's mal d’Afrique right away. We can't wait to go back, not only for the fantastic animals we saw (see the photos) but also for the wonderful people who accompanied and guided us in this unique experience. Thank you very much, and see you soon!!!
