Brilliant experience led by a remarkable owner/guide: passion, knowledge, attention to detail
Lucas & his affable. skilled team made this experience a life highlight. Glamping at its best: comfy warm real beds, soft towels, hot water bottles at night, hot showers, tent ‘ensuite’ , creative & delicious food.
Botswana is the Garden of Eden for critters & Lucas’ knowledge & passion for wildlife was as non stop as the number of animals we saw. Add in humour, warmth, generousity of spirit …. what more can we say. Simply unforgettable !

10 Day Northern Highlight Trip
Our safari with Lucas Tshupo was nothing short of incredible. Just from our first morning drive, he was able to quickly track two male lions we heard near our camp the night before—his instinct for finding wildlife was truly remarkable. Lucas knew exactly where to go and when to wait, making every game drive—day and night—feel like we were in the right place at the right time. Lucas is a genuinely kind person who made us feel safe and well taken care of throughout.
Wild For Game's mobile camping crew also deserves praise—each time we arrived at a new location, everything—from tents to amenities—was already beautifully arranged and ready for us to settle in. Their thoughtful service created a stress-free rhythm that let us focus on soaking in the experience.
The food was absolutely outstanding. Every meal was fresh, flavorful, and far beyond what you'd expect in the middle of the bush. I'm going to miss some of those meals!
Lucas crafted our itinerary to take us through Mormei, Khwai, and Savute, before wrapping up in Victoria Falls. Each reserve and park offered its own distinct landscapes and wildlife, making every stop feel fresh and different. Ending in Victoria Falls was the perfect finish—and the accommodation Lucas arranged for us there was absolutely top-notch.
Hands down, this trip was a 5/5 experience—and a memory we'll never forget.

Safari that dreams are made of!
10/10 experience with Wild for Game Safaris. Our family of four had an amazing time with Lucas and his team. The safari itinerary was a perfect mix of parks/concessions including Moremi, Kwai and Savuti over 8 days. We saw more wildlife than we could have hoped for, in no small part thanks to Lucas’ wealth of experience as a guide. He made every game drive an adventure and his depth of knowledge of Bostwana’s parks and animals is second to none. It was such a pleasure to experience this beautiful country with a local guide who has such deep respect and passion for the land and wildlife. We saw every animal on our list- and then some - including two male lions patrolling at sunrise, a den of hyenas with their young, wild dogs on a hunt and a leopard with her kill. We even saw a honey badger!
The camping was luxury- hot showers on demand, amazing food and wine (we still don’t know how the chef baked perfect cakes at camp!!) comfortable bedding in roomy tents and extra little touches like hot water bottles waiting in our beds for the chilly winter nights.
Wild for Game is truly a master class in mobile camping safaris. We are already planning our next trip with them and would not hesitate to recommend them for your ultimate Botswana safari. Thank you Lucas!!!
Magnificent game viewing, excellent food and ideal tent accommodations
Doug and I had a WONDERFUL time on the 10 day mid-range safari with Shadrek. We loved the game drives and the camps were pure luxury. Your camp crew is so experienced and accommodating and friendly and professional .I call them 'a well oiled machine' .
Pula, the chef was truly remarkable. His food was better than most restaurant food.
I recommend this safari to everyone!

Look no further!!!
The experience of a lifetime. Lucas runs a top notch business. He is an incredible tracker and a passionate guide, who goes above and beyond to find the big game in the right setting, looking for great angles and light for pics. Also, his team is went above and beyond to please. We did the 11 day Northern Botswana trip and the memories will stay with me forever.

UNQUESTIONABLY THE BEST
Is there a 10 out of 5 score? Lucas has knowledge, skills, personality & an eye for detail that exceeded any previous safari experience. Glamping at its best: warm, clean bedding & soft towels, hot water bottles for chilly nights & showers & toilets attached to the tent. All food likes/allergies attended to; meals were fabulous & creative. Staff was hand picked for attention to detail, any request. Just open your piggy bank & book.

Our safari in one word: stunning! --- Notre safari en un mot : époustouflant !
(version française ci-dessous)
Our safari with Lucas and his team at Wild for Game was exceptional in every way.
My daughters and I were able to experience our dream safari in the heart of Botswana in absolutely fantastic conditions.
In two weeks, we visited the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) and the eastern Okavango Delta (Moremi and Khwai Reserves).
All this with a team that was constantly attentive to our needs, always caring, and impeccably professional. The conditions of our stay, with several campsites, all located in extraordinary settings, were worthy of a 5-star campsite.
The quality and variety of the meals were simply breathtaking: excellent, always fresh, and generous.
Thanks to Lucas for his ability to take us to the right place at the right time during our daily excursions, he allowed us to observe more than fifty different animal species, including the unmissable lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, wild dogs, hippos, baboons, warthogs, zebras, wildebeest, and buffalo, as well as numerous birds, including eagles and owls, but also reptiles, amphibians, numerous antelopes, hyenas, jackals, and more.
Not to mention the incredible experience of the last evening, with the frantic chase of a group of wild dogs, followed by a fierce and merciless fight between the hyenas and the wild dogs over a poor impala, the wild dogs' prey. The two hyenas, determined not to abandon it, then fought over it. All this in a Dantesque atmosphere at the end of the day, with a magnificent landscape as a backdrop.
All of wild Africa on a platter, just like that, right in front of us, authentic and exceptional!
Thank you so much for these two magical weeks that will remain etched in our memories forever.
My daughters and I can only warmly recommend Wild for Game if you're looking for an adventure with a capital A in Botswana, a pristine country with incredible natural resources, wildlife, and breathtaking landscapes!
One word to sum up our stay: stunning!

Notre safari avec Lucas et son équipe de Wild for Game a été exceptionnel à tous points de vue.
Mes filles et moi avons pu vivre notre safari de rêve au cœur du Botswana dans des conditions absolument fantastiques.
En deux semaines, nous avons pu visiter la réserve du Kalahari central (CKGR) et l'est du delta de l'Okavango (réserves de Moremi et de Khwai).
Tout cela avec une équipe constamment à notre écoute, toujours bienveillante et d'un professionnalisme irréprochable. Les conditions de notre séjour, avec plusieurs campements, tous situés dans des lieux extraordinaires, étaient dignes d'un camping 5 étoiles.
La qualité et la variété des repas étaient tout simplement époustouflantes : excellents, toujours frais et généreux.
Grâce à sa capacité à nous emmener au bon endroit et au bon moment lors de nos excursions quotidiennes, Lucas nous a permis d'observer plus de cinquante espèces animales différentes, dont les incontournables lions, léopards, éléphants, girafes, lycaons, hippopotames, babouins, phacochères, zèbres, gnous et buffles, ainsi que de nombreux oiseaux, dont des aigles et des hiboux, mais aussi des reptiles, des amphibiens, de nombreuses antilopes, des hyènes, des chacals, etc.
Sans oublier l'expérience incroyable du dernier soir, avec la course-poursuite effrénée d'un groupe de lycaons, suivie d'une lutte acharnée et sans merci entre les hyènes et les lycaons pour un pauvre impala, proie des lycaons, mais que les deux hyènes, déterminées à ne pas abandonner, se disputent ensuite. Le tout dans une ambiance dantesque en fin de journée, avec en toile de fond des paysages grandioses.
Toute l'Afrique sauvage sur un plateau, comme ça, devant nous, authentique et exceptionnel !
Merci infiniment pour ces deux semaines magiques qui resteront gravées à jamais dans nos mémoires.
Mes filles et moi ne pouvons que recommander chaleureusement Wild for Game si vous souhaitez vivre une aventure avec un grand A au Botswana, un pays préservé, avec ses incroyables richesses naturelles, sa faune et ses paysages à couper le souffle !
Un seul mot pour résumer notre séjour : époustouflant !

Passionate about the wildlife and providing an excellent customer focused service.
From the planning stage to our final farewell, Lucas at Wild For Game Safaris, provided an excellent, responsive and personalised service. He read our needs perfectly. We booked a 12 night/13 day luxury camping safari, covering Moremi, Kwai, Savuti and Chobe River Front. The focus was on birding, but we saw loads of other wildlife. Lucas is a very knowledgeable guide, and was able to show us lions on six separate days, including a suckling cub, a leopard, cheetahs, hyenas, crocodiles and a hunting pack of wild dogs. This was on top of other game. We saw 218 birds, the highlights included a Martial Eagle, Verreaux's Eagle-Owl, Broad-billed Sandpiper, and Southern Carmine Bee-eaters hawking in front of the truck as it drove through grasslands soon after we had spotted a Rosy-throated Longclaw.
The camping was very comfortable and safe. The ground crew of Mosa the brilliant chef, Bontsi the camp assistant and Madu the waiter, were hard working, polite and very friendly. Their efforts made for a fantastic experience.
The trip exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend Wild For Game Safaris to anybody who wants to experience the joys of Botswana up close and personal.
