excellent safari experience
We were able to organize this from Australia with minimal fuss. David was quick to respond and was able to accomodate our preferences. Our Guide Ookedisae did an excellent job of tracking the game and we saw a great variety of animals each day. Highlights were seeing a wild dog hunt, a leopard and her cub plus lots and lots of lions. The hippos come very close to camp at night and we even had honey badgers visit!! The mokoro ride was magical and our polers were very entertaining. We were also very spoilt by having Oonah as our cook and Bats-man as his offsider. The food was delicious and I was astounded by what these guys could prepare, including fresh bread daily. We had such a wonderful time and felt very blessed to have such a magic team looking after us. Our tent was spacious and ensuited (!) and the beds were comfy. All in all, a brilliant experience. We would highly recommend this.

A wonderful day lead by a knowledgeable guide.
We joined a 1-day safari to the Moremi Game Reserve from Maun. We were collected promptly from our hotel for the drive to the Moremi Game Reserve. Although we visited during the ‘wet’ season when the animals are dispersed, we were shown an excellent variety of both fauna and flora. The highlights for us were spotting a cheetah resting under a tree, 3 jackal cubs playing under a bush, a small herd of batchelor elephant bulls bullying a lone hippopotamus bull in a watering hole and African Painted Dogs. We also saw plenty of elephant, giraffe, buffalo, zebra, impala, waterbuck, red lechwe, baboon and numerous wild fowl.
Our guide took great care of us, ensuring all our questions were answered, and more importantly that we were well fed and watered. He was very knowledgeable of the environment and was always willing to broaden the discussion to explain the various interactions between the various animals, plants, etc, bringing the terrain to life. He also had excellent all-terrain driving skills which are necessary for the park roads.
We were returned to our hotel at the scheduled time.
Am area for improvement is eye-care for the guides. Vision is all important in life, and it would be re-assuring to know that the guides have been trained in care of their eyes, both while game-spotting in the harsh African sun and while driving without windscreen protection. I offer this advice having being raised in Africa as a child when the perceived wisdom was not to provide children to ‘toughen-up’ their eyes; needless to say my eyes were damaged and I have already had to have cataract surgery on both eyes.

Outstanding experience, everything we wished for!
A lot of value for money and an outstanding experience. Our guide was a nice guy, and together with the other guys that operated our mobile tented safari it was an awesome experience - 100% recommend this company!

Botswana up close and personal
We were a party of five who spent two weeks under the excellent care of Travel Creations Botswana in a mobile tented safari from Maun to Victoria Falls. Right from the outset organizing an itinerary David’s flexibility and super quick responses including rescheduling as Botswana has just had the wettest summer in decades (Moremi closed at short notice) were very impressive.
The team included a guide and driver, a cook and two others to set up camp and they all did a magnificent job. All conveyed that their goal was to make our trip comfortable and memorable. The catering for vegetarians was also very well done.
Our guide was very knowledgeable about the game and also the birdlife and trees of the area. Due to the experience of our guide and good tracking we were able to find lion and wild dogs and even a leopard pair mating.
For those not looking for the luxury of a lodge but the sheer enjoyment of being alone in the bush with local people with whom one can connect I can unreservedly recommend this local Maun company. The tented mobile safari offered was in all aspects a great experience.
A big thanks to Screamer, Machine, Jomo and Ona, and of course David.
