Great 3D/2N Safari in Moremi Game Reserve
We had a great time on our 3 day safari in Moremi game reserve. The guide and chef took good care of us during our trip and James did a great job with communication prior to the trip. The team really went out of the way to make sure we had a great experience and went above and beyond throughout.

Excellent tour, would highly recommend
We had a great time on this one week Safari. The game drives and areas we visited all had something different to see. We had amazing sightings of different animals with their young, including cheetah, lion, hyena, wild dogs, hippos and elephants thanks to our guide.
Behind the scenes, the camp staff worked very hard, our tents were always ready and the chef cooked amazing meals just on the campfire.
If you’re looking for an adventure camping in the bush, listening to the animals at night, then this trip is for you.

Reliable & well-organized
We did 4 nights & 5 days private tour with them, 2 nights in Okavango Delta (camping) & 2 nights near Moremi Game Reserve (lodge stay). They were very reliable and well-organized (so punctual), always tried to tidy things up and cooked amazing meals for us every day. Among the numerous Botswanan local operators, it's only one who has a lodge facility (for now, check the latest info). Unless you are a camping enthusiast, it's so nice to have a hot shower at the lodge after dusty roads. Highly recommended.

A Dream Trip of a Lifetime: The Best of Botswana and Victoria Falls
Majestic lions, leopards and cheetahs, lumbering elephants and snorting hippos, as well as gorgeous and fascinating giraffes, meerkats, zebras, wildebeest, oryx, warthogs, kudu, cape buffalo, water bucks and impala galore – oh my! Just when you think things cannot get better, add in many, many beautiful birds. With over 40% of the land dedicated to parkland, Botswana is a gem of a country!
Our three-week mobile camping safari with Walking Stick Tours was a dream trip of a lifetime with so much thanks to:
• Phillimon, who planned our seamless adventure from the pans through the Kalahari Desert, to various locations in the Okavango Delta, and into Chobe National Park, booking fabulous camping spots, amazing experiences on land and waterways, and a dream team of a guide / driver, chef, and camp manager.
•OT our amazing, deeply knowledgeable guide, driver and mechanic who shared his love of his country and culture with us, who was able to spot so many animals that we would have missed and knew exactly where to search for the elusive ones, transported us safely along bumpy roads, through deep sand and water, and knew his way along all roads and tracks in these vast parks.
•Election our incredibly positive, welcoming, skilled chef who could work miracles over a campfire creating delicious, nutritious and filling meals and homemade breads and cakes. Being on safari for as long as we were, we also appreciated the advance planning that went into gathering supplies and setting up a refrigerator / freezer in the support vehicle. We were constantly in awe! As well, being on such a remote trip, Election’s skills as a mechanic also came in handy as he assisted OT in the maintenance of our vehicles.
•Richman our amazing camp manager who did everything else needed to make our camping experience as comfortable as possible from setting up tents, eating areas and campfires to providing us with warm water for washing and our outdoor shower, and assisting Election in the outdoor kitchen and with anything mechanical. Richman had a way of noticing whenever anything needed doing and immediately attending to the needs of everyone in camp. His lovely, positive, welcoming and hard-working ways were appreciated every day.
•Tebogo our lovely, knowledgeable mokoro poler and walking safari guide while in the waterways and camping on an island in the delta who introduced us to the beauty and life of the Okavango region, and shared his love of his part of the this beautiful country.
We were touched by these local men who helped us explore and begin to understand the history, culture, and everyday life of beautiful Botswana. They have been the very best ambassadors for your country and for Walking Stick Tours. After three weeks together, we consider them good friends.
