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.

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 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.

extremely professional and competent
Our Botswana adventure with our fantastic guide, Banda, was simply unforgettable. We felt his love for nature and animals at every turn. He shared a wealth of his history with us, and we shared some magnificent days of wild camping. His expertise as a guide is evident; he loves his job and the way he interacts with people. We immediately felt connected to him, and traveling through Botswana's wildlife with him was unique. We absolutely recommend his travel agency and will never forget this experience. Thanks for all, Banda!!!
