Most knowledgeable, amazing tracker , best fun guide.
The camping experience brought us closer to the animals and birds than I could believe. The sound of the bell frogs. The call of the fish eagle. The deep growls of the lions. The hippos honking. Thrilling to be under canvas and experience it all! Lucas is such an experienced guide. He persuaded us to sit and wait patiently and quietly. Other trucks moved on while we waited. As a result we witnessed incredible scenes of a leopard kill, wild dogs hunting and elephants rushing towards the waterhole at the end of a very hot day. Magical!
The tents were comfortable and the food incredible. The attention to detail was five star.
The early morning start meant we were able to see so much more ,especially birds, that Lucas was so knowledgeable about, as well as following the fresh animal tracks on the sandy road. All thrilling.

Safari Company of Dreams!!!
Book your safari with Wild For Game end of!!What a company. Lucas is the owner and is an absolute gentleman and was pleasure to deal with.I booked the safari myself and it was all so easy. We emailed back and forth with dates and trip suggestions and we chose Delta Miracle Trip.It was 6 night mobile camping in Moremi and Khwai and was an AMAZING experience. Our guide Marks is experienced ,knowledgeable, cares so much for the land and animals and was great fun too.We had Chacks looking after our amazing camp, Matengo was our waiter and Pula was our chef.These guys looked after us soooo well, always with a smile on their face .Accommodation was absolutely gorgeous as was the food.Honestly we were blown away with the experience. It's a small safari company that I hope goes from strength to strength because everyone who looked after us truly are the best of Africa.
In terms of value for money and cost, everyone says Botswana safaris are super expensive, this was not and we did not expect the level of service and accommodation given what the cost was.we truly were blown away with our experience. Campsite set up just for us -there was 2 of us,with no other camps/ppl near us and as for the standard of accommodation, we wanted for nothing!all the small touches you would get in actual accomodation were there in the tent!and the attention to detail from Chacks,Matengo,Pula and Marks has to be experienced to be believed. The game drives were truly a dream and Mark's knowledge and experience of the area and it's animals just elevated it to another level, tracking Lions and Cheetah by their tracks and alarm calls of other animals.No relying on the radio for Marks!It truly was once in a lifetime experience -except we will definitely be back for more and it will be with Wild For Game no question.As I said at that start book your Botswana safari with Wild For Game end of ,you will want for nothing and have the experience of a lifetime.

Stop searching. This is the safari tour operator you’re looking for.
I was you - reading every review to make sure I picked the right tour operator to make our group of four’s African safari dream come true. With these guys, we got far more than our wildest dreams!
Our guide Max and his incredible team - Pula, Chucks and MD - were absolutely phenomenal on our 5-day mobile safari in Khwai. From the moment we met them, it felt like we’d known them all our lives, which is honestly one of the most underestimated parts of a safari. You don’t realise how important that connection is until it’s time to wave them all goodbye.
Max was exceptional. He relied on his own skill, instincts and experience, often taking his own routes rather than following radio chatter from other guides. He knew exactly what he was doing and where he was going. On our first full day, Max tracked down a huge pride of lions that I lost count of how many there were, including a female with her two cubs who had become separated before we found the pride. We were beyond chuffed! Thanks to Max, we had countless unforgettable encounters including: a leopard and cub before we’d even reached camp on the day we were picked up, lone male lions, wild dogs, hyenas, elephants, plethora of birds and more leopards on most days! (+ so much more).
One of the biggest advantages of this mobile safari is that you’re not tied to the clock. Other groups often had to rush off to lodges or scheduled activities at a sighting, but we could stay, watch, and truly marvel at what was before us. No rushing - just being present. This is exactly what I think a safari should be. (Plus, our vehicle was a beast. We very much enjoyed looking at all the other vehicles and thinking ours was x10 better!)
Food was one of our biggest concerns, as three of the four of us have coeliac disease. Lucas (owner) reassured me during booking that this would be taken seriously - and he absolutely delivered. Not a single symptom. Pula, our camp chef, went above and beyond, baking gluten-free bread, muffins and cakes daily, alongside incredible meals - including a gluten-free lasagne! How he managed that in a camp kitchen is beyond me. For anyone hitting Ctrl+F searching for “gluten free”: you’re in very safe hands.
Safety was another concern going in. I couldn’t really imagine sleeping in a tent with wildlife roaming outside, but having now experienced it, I wouldn’t do it any other way! We felt completely safe in our tent, falling asleep to the sounds of the bush. The tents were actually incredible, comfortable and with an open-roof ensuite. It had everything we needed and it was ready when we needed it.
Their ability to host you as a guest is second to none. At the end of our trip, Lucas even stopped by our hotel to hear about everything we’d seen and done. It honestly felt like catching up with an old friend. Because of this team, we fell completely in love with Botswana - the wildlife, the people, and the experience.
We thought this was a one and done safari situation, but not anymore! We'll definitely be booking again, so stop searching and book with Lucas right now. You won’t regret it!

Wild for Game Safaris exceeded our expectations
Our Wild for Game Botswana Safari was 13 days. We had a very rewarding trip which exceeded our expectations and saw every animal we had hoped to see and more. The staff were very professional, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to be helpful and considerate. They are very efficient at braking down, moving and setting up camp. The chef is very skilled and prepared a variety of delicious meals. Malks, our guide, possessed an intimate knowledge of the terrain, the animals and their habits. He easily tracked and located animals and positioned the Land Cruiser to afford the best possible encounters. Malks was often the first guide to locate animals and we could see that other guides respected his skill and experience. He continually taught us about the country, insects, birds, animals, vegetation and weather which was very informative. He mixed up the outings to give us a variety of experiences; bush, plains, forest, boating trips etc. We are recommending Wild for Game Safaris for a memorable experience.
