Moremi and Kasane – fantastic and memorable safari tours
We were a party of four (two couples) and booked an individual 5-day-tour with Sekanka Safaris. Communication was easy and professional.
On the day of our departure in Maun we were picked up at our accommodation by our guide Thaloganyo, who was the perfect guide with lots of knowledge about the area and animals. We then drove to the Moremi Game Reserve with our lodge for the stay located in Khwai. From our lodge we went on four safari tours which left us in absolute awe: Nature, scenery, and most of all these beautiful animals that we were lucky to see. Numerous giraffes, water buffalos, zebras, impalas, wart hogs, occasional hyenas. The highlight were definitely the majestical elephants everywhere (we love elephants) and on top of that we saw a pride of 24!!! lionesses feeding.
On day three of our tour we left Khwai and headed to Kasane. Here we did a little day tour to the Victoria Falls via Zimbabwe, which was a very lovely trip with a walk along the waterfalls. The next day we took a River Safari on the Zambesi River around Sedudu Island. This island is special, because it is always green and the animals have to cross a wide river to get there. This we were able to witness as a herd of elephants crossed the river in the evening to the mainland, with the bigger elephants supporting the smaller ones that could only lift their trunk out of the water.
The next day we then had the drive back to Maun which brought our memorable safari tour to an end.
Sekanka took care of everything: booking the lodges and cars, getting into the parks, food, etc.
Thanks to everybody, it was exceptional.

A unique and unforgettable experience
Okavango was on our bucket list and on short notice, Sekanka Safaris was able to organize and tailor an incredible camping safari from Maun to Xakanaxa and Khwai. Although we are seasoned safari-goers, this was our first minimalistic camping experience in the wilderness, as previously we slept in safari lodges or hotels.
Our guides Thalo and Ben delivered their services in an extraordinary, pleasant, and friendly manner. They made us feel at home, taking care of all aspects that would make our safari unforgettable. Everything was well organized from the onset, safe, with excellent guidance, explanations, and storytelling of the endless wildlife, flora, people, and local culture.

Perfect tailor-made tented safari
We booked a tailor-made safari starting in Maun and ending in Victoria Falls with Sekanka and were happy we did. The itinerary was suited to our wishes. We traveled with just our family of 4 and loved spending time with the Sekanka team. Your guide Macha is always friendly and positive, Thalo the driver is super skilled. Even when driving through the most difficult terrains such as loose sand he managed to spot wild-life and made us feel safe with him. Neem is funny and a skilled chef. A great team to spend your safari with. Looking back, the only thing we would change is to stay in the same camp site for more than one night. The days we spend just one night in a camp sight were a bit too rushed with setting up and breaking down camp, since your team will do that. There is not a second team traveling ahead to take care of that like many of the larger companies do but the more family style and tailor-made tour that you get in return is very much worth that. Our favorite days were by far those in Xakanaxa area, such a stunning area were where were lucky enough to spot some rare game sights such as a leopard an wild dogs devouring their pray. We also enjoyed the Kasane Chobe boat tour a lot but in all honesty, the few days at the end at a comfortable lodge in Victoria Falls were a welcome change of scenery as well. Tents will be tents and despite the best efforts to make the tent as comfortable as possible, it will always be camping in a dusty environment. We had an amazing safari and anyone looking for a reference is welcome to contact me.

Brilliant Botswana experience
Our guide, Selani, was fab and very knowledgeable. He was determined to find us all the best sights of animals and birds. He followed the animal tracks and knew all the names. Camping was an experience in the heat wave of 38 degrees but the team in the camp were great, especially the cook. The lodges were lovely and all the boat rides were great although Big Toro lodge needs to sort out their air conditioning. Highlights were seeing cheetahs and wild dogs up close, watching elephants swim back across the river at sunset and Victoria falls. Overall I can highly recommend Sekanka.

Unforgetable experience, intimate and personalized safari with an awesome family-run team!
We can only strongly recommend Sekanka Travel and Tours Safaris. They prepared an itinerary perfectly fitting our needs and time constraints. Having no real safari experience we were somewhat uncertain how it would work out with our daughter (6 years) and camping in the wild. From the start the team made us feel very comfortable, safe and "at home." We loved every minute of it. Thalo went out of his way to make sure we would have the experience of our lifetime! Sometimes it is those small details which make a difference, like organizing marshmallows at the last minute for our daughter for the campfires. Low managed to always prepare wonderful food with the little extra touch. To see some of the more exotic wildlife you need luck, good timing, and a great guide. We had all of these! Thank you Lethi! All together a wonderful experience we will always cherish.

Excellent experience!
We did a private camping safari tour with sekanka in July 2023. Everything from the start to the end was organized perfectly well, the team was so nice and helpful. We went with two kids, 9 and 6, and felt safe all the time. We had the most amazing sightings and could certainly not have had this experience on our own. It was definitely an experience we will never forget!

Great experience with a reliable team
The team of Sekanka travel have been great in organizing the tour in a flexible and complete way.
The guide was very expereinced and always available to satisfy our requests and to do the extra mile to make us live the best expereince possible.
We are a family with 3 kids and we were always feeling safe, even if living the savana at a close contact with animals.
The staff hasn been always helpful and quick to prepare tents and great dinner.
I recommend Sekanka travel for a great experience in Botswana!

An unforgettable experience thanks to our guides and the beauty of Botswana
From the first moment our guide Salani was concerned about making our safari a unique experience. We shared three incredible weeks together observing and photographing wildlife. The collaboration of the guides was essential to obtain spectacular images. Thanks to them we have beautiful memories. Joe was an excellent cook and he always made sure we liked the food. He also accompanied us with Namba and Diti who at all times helped us with whatever we needed. Many thanks to Tepo, who trusted us and took care of putting together our trip according to our needs as photographers. Totally satisfied with the experience we were able to enjoy, I hope we see each other again.
