A perfect, locally owned safari company that catered perfectly to vegans as well!
Our trip in Botswana was amazing. We contacted Banda (Spoor Trackers) easily via email and sort of tailored a package. We spent 8 days in Botswana with mobile safari.
We got picked up in Maun and traveled in the Okavango, and changed our location every 2 days.
The mobile camping was much better than what we had expected. You sleep in the wild (no fences, no services), but the tents were large with comfortable proper beds (real mattress, real linens)! The tents had a sort of private bathroom with a shower that they would fill up for us with hot water, and a "toilet" seat (obviously it's a long drop toilet).
The tents had solar powered light bulbs as well.
The meals were all great and variety and they catered so well for us as vegans as well.
Breakfast consisted for us as vegans of porridge, soy milk with cereals, freshly made bread and spreads. Lunch were usually on the go and consisted of salads, pasta dishes and beans, and always freshly baked bread. Dinner always had a cereal type, a protein (often also vegan sausages or meatballs) and vegetables. We definitely need to do a shout out to our wonderful camp chef Bani, who not only made fresh bread everyday, but also made incredible vegan cakes.
I also want to send a special mention to the other two staff members: T and Leisete. They were superstars in making sure our stay was always comfortable and ready for us.
Banda is an incredible safari guide and tracker! We were able to see so many animals thanks to his tracking skills, all while truly respecting the privacy and needs of the animals. We were lucky to learn so much more about the animals.
What also surprised me was how fluent Banda is. His English is flawless!
The night safari drive as well as the walking safari were too unique experiences we also got to do with Spoor Trackers.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is considering a locally owned company, and wants to make sure that the money stays in Botswana.

I lived a hole week with Spoor Tracker Adventures's team and their lead guide Banda.
It’s the adventure of a lifetime! I’ve been into wildlife, the one you see on discovery channel.
Botswana and Okavango delta is a marvel of nature. People are also very nice and reliable.
The guide is an expert tracker. Thanks to him, I’ve seen cheetah, lions, leopards, antilopes, zebras, elephants, girafes, hippos, crocodiles, birds of prey, and lots of other marvels.
I learned a lot about the wildlife, but also about tacking pictures, and we had fun joking during the drive games.
Spoor Tracker Adventures is a real local company, it’s a bit cheaper than classical tour operators, and they really care. Accommodation is simple, food great, and they even provide WiFi in the camp!

A Masterclass in Wildlife Exploration
Breathtaking Botswana Adventure with Banda – A Masterclass in Wildlife Exploration 🌍
Our journey through Botswana, masterfully orchestrated by Banda and booked via Safaribookings.com, was nothing short of extraordinary. From the vast wetlands of the Okavango Delta to the dry, whispering savannas, each moment was packed with awe and discovery—anchored by Banda’s exceptional knowledge, warm leadership, and unwavering commitment to showcasing the best of southern Africa’s wildlife.
🦁 Dedication to the Big Five and Beyond From the first game drive, Banda’s passion for tracking the iconic Big Five—lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhino—was undeniable. His tracking skills and intimate understanding of animal behavior made every encounter feel like a revelation, not just a sighting. He taught us how to read the land, from broken branches to distant alarm calls, painting an immersive picture of predator-prey dynamics and wildlife conservation.
🦜 Avian Mastery and Botanical Insights What truly elevated the experience was Banda’s encyclopedic command of southern African birdlife. Whether it was the iridescent flash of a malachite kingfisher or the haunting call of a Pel's fishing owl, Banda would not only identify the species but share fascinating insights about nesting habits, migratory patterns, and ecological roles. Even casual sightings were turned into engaging mini-lessons that had us peering into trees with eager anticipation.
🐛 Insect Enthusiast Extraordinaire Often overlooked on safari, insects became a highlight thanks to Banda’s infectious enthusiasm. From the complex engineering of termite mounds to the iridescence of jewel beetles, he emphasized how these tiny creatures form the backbone of Botswana's ecosystems. One unforgettable night walk involved tracking scorpions with UV light and watching spiders weave their dusk dances—a brilliant detour into the micro-world of nature.
🚐 Seamless Travel Across Botswana Booking through Safaribookings.com was effortless, and Banda ensured every detail—lodging, transport, meals—was handled with care. Transitions from Maun to the Okavango, Chobe, and Moremi felt smooth and thoughtfully paced. Every stop had its charm, from riverside tents echoing with hippo grunts to starlit bush dinners under the acacia trees.
💬 Guiding with Heart and Humor Banda’s sense of humor, patience, and storytelling skills made long drives feel short and hot days bearable. He fostered genuine camaraderie among our group, and his respect for local communities and conservation efforts gave our tour real substance and soul.
In every sense, this wasn’t just a safari—it was a masterclass in understanding and appreciating the wild. Banda’s dedication, depth of knowledge, and sheer love for Botswana’s natural world turned a great itinerary into an unforgettable life experience.
If you’re considering a trip to Botswana, don’t hesitate: book through Safaribookings.com and ask for Banda. You’ll leave not just with incredible photos, but with a deeper understanding of the wild heart of Africa.

Professional and
We had Banda as a guide for our game drive in Kwai. It was a fantastic experience. He knows very well the area but also the habits of the animals. He is a very good tracker, doing his best to find places where we could see lionesses with cubs and also a leopard that we had opportunity to observe during at list half an hour. Banda has a good sense of humor and we laughed a lot. It will remain a very nice memory for us that we look forward to renew if we come back to Botswana.

An Unforgettable Safari with Spoor Tracker Adventures & Mr. Banda
I had the most incredible safari adventure in the Okavango Delta with Spoor Tracker Adventures, guided by the amazing Mr. Banda — and I truly cannot recommend him enough.
From the moment the journey began, Mr. Banda made me feel safe, cared for, and completely spoiled! His deep knowledge of the land and wildlife is absolutely impressive — he knows every animal, every track, every sound. Thanks to his experience and sharp eyes, I was able to see all the animals I dreamed of, up close and in their natural habitat.
But beyond his knowledge, what truly made this experience unforgettable was Mr. Banda’s personality — he’s incredibly funny, kind, and warm-hearted. He looked after me with such genuine care, always making sure I had everything I needed: from delicious food to a comfortable and unforgettable experience in the wild. His love for nature and his years of experience in the safari world are evident in every moment of the trip.
This wasn’t just a tour — it was a deeply personal, heartwarming adventure that I’ll never forget. If you’re considering a safari in Botswana, support his business and go with Spoor Tracker Adventures. You will be in the best hands.
Thank you, Mr. Banda, for a once-in-a-lifetime journey! 🐘🦁🌿

Amazing team. A big shout out to Banda.
We were a set of three families and celebrating my 50th birthday. The stay was very comfortable and they even accommodated vegetarian food for us. Banda was our guide, conservationist, and our big source of local knowledge. He went above and beyond to show us a great time viewing wildlife. We were lucky to see wild dog hunts, hyenas hunting a singled out wild buffalo, Hyena den with babies. The mokoro trip was surreal as we saw wild elephants and their babies cross the river at close quarters. We stopped by one of the many islands in the Delta for a delicious vegetarian meal.
We saw wildfires and the Baobab trees. The most memorable, there were many, was how Banda patiently tracked for hours on end to see the elusive leopard late in the night. We did see one, and then another one the next day, complete with a deer hauled up the tree. Banda was very respectful of the animals and never went close enough to disturb the wildlife just to give us close up pictures. He found vantage points to park the jeep so we could enjoy the wildlife to our heart's content. The last night of the tour, he and his team surprised me with an eggless cake! That was the icing on the cake showing how much they care for the tourists who visit Botswana. I give this team a giant thumbs up and hope to visit again! Highly Recommend!

Expert guides deliver unforgettable Botswana safaris, blending wildlife wonders with cultural riches
I recently experienced two extraordinary safaris with Spoor Tracker Adventures in March 2024, and I'm still in awe! The first was a 12-hour journey through Moremi National Park, where we encountered elephants, giraffes, and numerous impalas and so on. The highlight was spotting majestic lions - simply breathtaking! Time flew by as we were immersed in the wonders of nature.
Our second safari took us to the Okavango Delta, where we had the privilege of meeting the Bayei people. This cultural experience was truly unforgettable and added a rich, human dimension to our wildlife adventure.
Banda, our Guide, were knowledgeable, passionate, and ensured our safety throughout. I highly recommend Spoor Tracker Adventure for an authentic and diverse Botswana safari experience. You won't be disappointed!
