Excellent!!
5/5

My booking for a 10 day Botswana trip was treated with ‘above and beyond’ efficiency and helpfulness

If I were to rate our guide, Lucas, on a scale of 1 to 10, well let’s just say that he’s off the scale! A more knowledgeable, personable, interesting and versatile guide would be hard to find!
The camp staff were a great team working together with Lucas and the fabulous bush chef. Everything they offered, from the great food every day to the smallest tasks for guests was done with a smile and nothing was too much trouble!
My meal request was no red meat and the variety of food prepared not only for me but everyone, was fantastic!

I thought the vehicle was comfy considering how much time we spent in it! Overall the game viewing experience for me was fantastic and beyond expectations!

I left vowing to go back as soon as possible!

5 Star!
5/5

We booked a Botswana “Glamping” Safari trip and we were lucky enough to have Lucas as our First Class Guide for the duration of 10 days !

He was incredibly knowledgeable about every species of the animals and the Birdlife that we came across & referenced them in the books he kept in the vehicle so we could learn more about them too . He knew the various animal tracks , feeding habits and everything possible about them . He also made the effort to return to exciting Kill sites and to find animals we might have yet seen.

 He had superb knowledge about the amazing tree’s and plants growing in the area as well ,which was special for me .

Lucas was kind , helpful , patient and amazing with the 2 kids we were with on the trip .

Camping was so well organised , individual tents with privacy from one’s neighbours, cute wash areas, hot showers, clothing washed for you when necessary, light in the tents, warm beds with hot water bottles ( used again on the vehicle on cold mornings) and every single meal we had was fantastic with Gin , wine and whiskey if requested. We even had a delicious  Birthday cake arranged for 2 of our Team ladies.

Lucas was organised and efficient at the Border Posts & aware of any danger at night from roaming animals and at picnic spots.

I would highly recommend Lucas , he made our trip a Bucket List Safari holiday and one to be remembered forever  !

Botswana - a Trip of a Lifetime
5/5

We actually did this safari in 2019 with our friends and when Lucas and his team were working through Recreational Equipment Inc in Seattle. The safari was the same as the one shown here. It was a trip of a lifetime for us and our friends. Lucas and his team were outstanding and took care of every need. We are really happy we did a tent safari because you are right out their in the wilds of Botswana.

Lucas and his team were so knowledgable about the wildlife and their habitat that it just added to the experience. We are so happy that Lucas has formed his own tour complany because he has so much to teach others about Botswana. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who is looking for a real Botswana safari.

Safari Superb!
5/5

There can be no better way to observe the wealth of nature, both in the animals and the vast landscape, of Botswana's Okavango Delta than under the guidance of Lucas Tahiti. Lucas uses his local knowledge to reveal the amazing array of wildlife and at times pauses so that you also absorb the stunning landscape. Lucas’ local familiarity of the wildlife allows positioning that allows up-close observation as the animals moved by our station. Aside from the larger animals, the abundant and colorful avifauna makes for birdwatching that is beyond compare – with Lucas providing expert birding knowledge. Lucas provides an amazingly comfortable camp, providing flawless logistics in a pleasant and safe manner. Even with cameras in hand, I found myself at many times putting them down and simply immersing myself in the experience. Lucas can be counted on a well-organized and totally satisfying adventure!

Lucas is a very knowledgeable caring and patient person that made my African Safari dreams come true
5/5

I’ve been a nature photographer hobbyist for most of my life. Photographing wildlife in the Okavango Delta had always been a dream of mine. When I finally got my chance to go, I was extremely nervous. Would I even see the animals? And what about the lighting for the perfect picture? Lucas made my dreams come true! Lucas knows the animals! He is there with them so often, he knows where to find them. He was so aware of the lighting on the animals for photography I never had to mention it. He would position the vehicle perfectly to get the shots. He was extremely careful and patient with the animals. And above all, he was patient with me. He always checked with me to make sure I got my shot before leaving a site. I love Lucas!

Best Safari Experience we could have imagined
5/5

"We lacked for nothing-comfortable bed in a large stand-up tent, hot water whenever we wanted . . . the cook was a magician who never duplicated a meal. One distinct advantage to a tent safari is that there is no fixed schedule. If we saw something interesting (like witnessing a buffalo kill in progress) we could take our time . . . The entire trip was perfect in that each camp was like a stepping stone to the next. Add in the Lucas, a wildlife photographer himself, always put us into the best position for open shots with the best light."

Awesome and truly brilliant.
5/5

This was the most amazing trip we have ever undertaken. The welcome, the company, the food and the wildlife are second to none. You just never knew what you were going to see next. Lucas is the most knowledgeable and friendly guide we have ever met. He made every sighting an experience you never forget. He was a fantastic guide, all the camp assistants and the chef were fabulous. A really great group of people. I could quite honestly do this trip every year if I could, every day is different and every experience is unique. If you choose to go on this tour with Lucas and his group, you will not be disappointed. You could not be in better hands. Life is too short, do not miss out on an experience of a life time. It is a trip like no other. Botswana is a beautiful country with a diverse landscape, its amazing and unique.
