Best Safari experience ever.
Axe has been a wonderful safari guide and we feel blessed that we got the chance to be with him for three days. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!

courteous and professional interaction from beginning to end
My wife and I spent 3 days and 2 nights in Chobe National Park with the team from Kalahari Tours. Our guide, K (Kanawe), along with MP and Amos (chefs and camp staff), were nothing short of exceptional. K put us on to pretty much every animal except Rhino, which are not found in the park due to government relocation programs. K's instinctive knowledge of animals, his tracking skills, humor, safety-first ethos, and focused desire to 'wow' you are nothing short of inspirational. We were treated to outstanding meals - home made bread, stir fry, salads, roast veg, seasoned steak, local 'pup', snacks, cereals .... etc.. Incredible. Big shout out to management and staff for a truly memorable visit to this unique part of the world. We were treated with uncommon courtesy by integral, hard working staff. We highly recommend Kalahari Tours and hope to visit and camp with you guys again in the future!

Handled our travel chaos well
We had a bit of travel chaos, with a child falling ill. It was handled very graciously and compassionately by Kalahari Tours. I’d definitely recommend them.

Fantastic experience of all Chobe has to offer
Kalahari Tour's provide an amazing service.
From arranging your pick up to the actual game drives (and Chobe river views), the experience is awesome. Friendly, highly knowledgeable guides will share their passion for all Chobe's wildlife, and answer all your questions too. Their experience will find for you the very best opportunities to view the dense and diverse game available. Every trip has been memorable.
There's a reason I've chosen Kalahari now over 4 different years, they're the best!
That includes their overnight camping package, a truly wonderful experience you should not miss!

Great wildlife, Great Service!
We went to the Chobe National Park in March this year and joined Kalahari Tours on a 2 night mobile safari.
Nothing beats camping out in the true wilderness of Botswana, and Kalahari Tours made sure we experienced the best of it.
Apart from the exceptional game viewing in the park - it was fantastic to arrive at our campsite, already set up with a fire burning - and a more than welcome glass of wine!
Nothing beats falling asleep to the sounds of lion roaring, and the exhilaration of knowing they have the freedom to walk right past us!
The food prepared for us was of the highest standard, the guides knowledgeable and patient, and the camp hands cheerful and helpful!
Definitely will be going again

Efficient , affordable and professional, highly recommend
I’ve gone on a five-day, four-night trip to Savuti the guide was very informative and you could tell he knew what he was doing I had a lovely trip. During the daytime, we saw an abundance of different animals, and we were even lucky enough to see an impala killed by a leopard on the Chobe riverfront. During our stay on the riverfront, we saw three brown hyenas, which one doesn’t often see It was amazing. As we moved south to Savuti the drive was long, yes, but that is what is to be expected. T food was wonderful a 10 out of 10 The backup team that came with us was incredible and as a vegetarian, they provided wonderful meals and they did a really good job as some places don’t offer as good of a meal in the bush, especially as a vegetarian. The tents and the campsite, when we arrived at each, were already fully made, and showers were available throughout the day until it got dark, which was very refreshing after a long hot day whilst, in Savuti, we saw a handful of lions, as well as jackals and a male leopard, pushed beautifully on a Raintree this experience was once in a lifetime, and I will never forget it thank you to management and your wonderful team! Would recommend.

They were very helpful, and enjoyed activities
The animals were amazing and the river sight seeing was very relaxed and pleasant. They seemed well organized and communication (in english) was never a problem with staff.

The Complete Package, No need to shop anywhere Else
Whilst we were visiting the Chobe area in Botswana after a lot of research on local operators i came across Kalahari Tours. After making enquiries to which their responses were quick, informative and unbiased we decided to make a variety of bookings with them for our time there.
We booked a 3 day 2 night Chobe camping trip, a day trip to Victoria Falls with a short notice change to wanting to add a helicopter trip and finally a full day on the Chobe river to finish out time there.
For each of the bookings the whole team were enthusiastically welcoming and nothing was too much trouble for the team, even deciding to throw in a curve ball of a last minute request for a helicopter trip. This request was met with a simple "leave it to us we will make it happen". Amazing
The team that looked after us on each of the tours were warm, friendly and welcoming. But above all they were knowledgeable and showed their love for the environment and animals in the area. Lance and the kitchen team on the camping trip were simply amazing and responded to requests from all people on tour. I do believe we managed to see everything in this 3 day trip (Lions, Leopards (multiple times) Elephants, Crocodiles, Jackals, Fish Eagles and the glorious Martial Eagle. (Thank you Lance). Memorable moment was via a trailcam we left after a Leopard had made a kill in the night just by camp, when Kalahari Tours say wild camping it truly is
George who we must thank for his patience with us on the river for the whole day as we pointed, asked and requested this and that. He, again, came up trumps with all sorts of birds and wildlife. I do believe we saw and photographed 5 different types of Kingfisher and had aclose encounter with a Hippo which made us chuckle.
I forget the names but the help provided in navigating customs and immigration on our day trip to Zimbabwe as well as the driver guide providing assistance on the Zimbabwe side was immense.
All in all these guys exceeded our expectations but above all delivered some truly memorable moments that after 2 South African safaris i thought we would never be able to beat. But they did. I would absolutely have no hesitation of saying for "Your best Chobe moments, choose Kalahari Tours".

The Best Way to Experience Chobe National Park
We loved Kalahari tour. Sleeping in the bush and experiencing wildlife day and night was the most memorable. We have seasoned travelers and did number of safaris in Kanya, Tanzania, Bostswana. Namibia and South Africa. We did Kalahari tour in Chobe for 2 nights and 3 days before going to self drive safari into Moremi and Okowango. We would highly recommend this tour for first timers or experience safari goers.
