Awesome tour with awesome staff,visiting three different ecosystems, each housing different wildlife
We experienced what we perceived as the TRUE Africa, which is why we chose a mobile camping safari. It was an amazing experience that fed the soul in all the ways we wanted! We stayed in roomy tents, in the middle of Africa's wild lands, with cots, portable toilet and bucket shower. Many thanks to our wonderful camp manager who also made our beds every day and and provided us a canvas sink of nice warm wash water every morning. The chef was magical, putting together three daily delicious and hearty meals, including fresh bread, all made in cast iron pots on a fire. Our delightful game driver/guide showed us a huge variety of Africa's wildlife, both huge and tiny, and he answered our overload of questions. We thank him for his patience with us. The vehicle drives were exhilierating, and sometimes painful, as the roads are VERY rough, bumpy, sandy (we got stuck in the sand once), and sometimes run through waterways (we got stuck there once as well). That was all part of the ADVENTURE! Whenever we ran into such situations, the team coordinated well with each other and with other safari teams, and made it all work out - very impressive! My only suggestion would be to acquire some form of satellite communication, as there was often no radio or cellular service available to ask for assistance. All in all, the trip left us with many spectacular memories and photos and new friends!

Flexible, knowledgeable and thoughtful
We created a custom itinerary based on one of the prepackaged safaris. BK was extremely knowledgable and flexible on creating the experience that we wanted, which was to see multiple different ecosystems. We planned this over a year and always found we never had to wait more than a week for a response which was great! The experience itself once we arrived was beyond my expectations by far! This was a Safari that was just booked for two of us and my friend has been to Africa many times, but this was my first time outside of North America.
The entire experience was amazing, and BK was incredibly flexible as we had flight disruptions that caused us to arrive late, and then requested something additional that was booked quietly in the background and inserted seamlessly into our trip! Our guide, cook, and the camp staff were incredible, and our guide in particular quickly learned our preferences and helped make the experience even better.
As with any adventure Safari, there were some adventures along the way, but they were handled with the minimum disruption to us as possible, and accommodations were always made to keep us comfortable and taken care of.
For me personally, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Some of the days were long, but we saw something amazing every day, which apparently is not always the case.
The only thing I noticed was that transit times were generally almost double what had been listed. I’m not sure if this was because the road conditions were much worse than expected, but it did make a difference to the length of our days. However, every day was amazing and brought new plants animals and birds as well as great local information provided by our guide.
We very much appreciated that BK focussed on using providers who were local, not owned out of country or big companies. For us this was very important and much appreciated!
I would highly recommend this company, particularly with group of support people we had!

Impressive day trip to wonderful NP Moremi via South Gate with amazing guides
What a wonderful day...from the start till the end.
We contacted Bakang online very spontaneously for a day trip to Moremi via Maun and he arranged it for us uncomplicated on short notice. He answered all our questions with a lot of passion and friendliness. Than we met us the evening before on our Campsite for payment and last infos, eg about food restrictions and what we want to drink. Bakang is a very nice person and we got a lot of info about Botswana and the culture, what was very interesting!
Our day trip started at 6am and the very warm-hearted and funny "Captain" was our guide. Bakang also joined the tour. So we were a good team for the adventure ahead;)
In addition Captain is a very good driver. He managed to get through the deep sand in the park, checked the landscape for animals and answer all our questions.
After some km on tar road the gravel road with some sandy parts to the South Gate started. And even here Captain managed to drive not too fast so that we didnt get covered with dust and were still able to check the surrounding.
Here we already saw some wildlife and nice landscape. Right before the gate- first with distance a hyena was crossing the road- there were (the first) lions lying beside a tree! What a start! Entering the gate Captain saw a lepard in the back mirror crossing the road but it was too late for us to find it in the trees- thats nature;)
In the park we saw a lot of changing, amazing landscape, huge amount of animals as giraffe, a breeding ostrich, different groups of elephants with babies, different kinds of antelopes, birds and than we approached river spots (black pools?) in a wide area were we saw lot of animals and water birds.
It was a very nice place with open views and a very good and lovely lunch. Thanks for the variety of food, we loved the taste of each! And of course not to forget- we had a wonderful breakfast with tea and coffee as well as big sandwiches with salad, very tasty. We loved the fruit juices, too;)
Back to the tour: there were still some surprises in front: right after we left the lunch spot Captain found a pride of Lions with cubs! Again under a tree, we counted in total 11 lions! With different sizes, there was one big sleeping male hidden between the others but the cubs were awake and looking at us while one of the female was walking and searching a better shadow place:-) It was lovely to watch them and we were very happy. On our way out of the park we still saw more animals and for the 3rd time Lions, this time big ones! Finally we got stuck in the sand but with Captains good, positive mood and support from another game truck it was not a problem at all and we continued our way;-)
Late afternoon we arrived - very happy - back at the South Gate, we had such an incredible day that the time had hurried a lot. So after making a short break we drove a little bit faster back to Maun to arrive before sunset.
We can only say: Wow and thanks Bakang and Captain to give us this opportunity to enjoy the Moremi national park!
As this part (South Gate area) of the Moremi is curently really hard to drive through with a lot of very deep sand, narrow ways we were in addition very happy that we didn´t make it on our own- for sure it is doable with 4x4 - but it is much more nicer to only concentrate on the park and not on driving;-)
And we did the correct choice for making a first guided day tour with Afrigetaways Safaris! Price-quality is very good and we can recommend it for all of you. I am sure that they will be individually create amazing tours for each preferences.
We will soon come back and hopefully have another chance to make a tour with them :-)

Interesting
Our safari with Afrigetaway Safaris was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfectly organized, and the team made sure we were well taken care of. The guide LT was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Botswana's wildlife, which made every game drive an educational and thrilling experience. The diverse landscapes we encountered were simply breathtaking. We saw a wide variety of animals, including some amazing predator interactions, and the camp setups were comfortable. Oh and we had hyena visiting our camp at night, what an experience. Definitely will be back.

Cherished Memories
Our guides were not only skilled at finding wildlife but were also fantastic storytellers, sharing fascinating insights about the animals and ecosystems we encountered. The campsites were well-equipped and comfortable, and the meals were delicious. This safari provided a deep connection to the wild beauty of Botswana, and we can't wait to return to the wild and enjoy plenty of african massages 😂-being the hard terrains we travelled!"

Safari
Afrigetaway Safaris delivered a seamless and professional experience from start to finish. The planning and communication before the trip were excellent. I was well impressed by the turn-around time of fixing our trailer which had a breakdown in the middle of no where, very resourceful team. LT our guide was not only an expert in tracking wildlife but also deeply knowledgeable about the local culture and environment, which added an enriching layer to the experience. Bk then took us to Ghanzi to see the Bushmen which we enjoyed the dancing. Our trip provided the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and education—highly recommended!

A dedicated team providing exceptional service and unforgettable wildlife experiences.
Our 10 day stay with Afrigetaway Safaris was truly an unforgettable experience. The itinerary was carefully planned, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in each location, from the awe-inspiring Moremi game reserve to the Chobe region. The team provided exceptional service, ensuring that all our needs were met, from the tasty meals to the cozy tents.
The highlight of our trip was the game drives, witnessing the incredible diversity of wildlife up close was truly awe-inspiring. Our guide LT's ability to spot and track animals was unmatched.
Bringing my 3 international friends to experience the beauty of my homeland and celebrating my birthday in such a spectacular setting was the perfect way to create memories we will cherish forever.

Professional, very well planned
We toured the Okavango Diamond Company. It was a very well planned trip, we had a Q&A session with one of the leaders of the company, and then we were shown into a room with real diamonds. It was a one of a kind experience.
