Observed More Wildlife Behavior with Caracal Tours and Safaris.
I have been on 5 wildlife safaris in East Africa. Bernard Sumari of Caracal Tours was the best wildlife guide of all. We observed mating, birth, hunting, sparing, joy, family, and death in many animal species. It was because Bernard placed us in the midst of animals, turned off the engine, and let nature unfold. While other vehicles came and went in a hurry, we watched a pack of lions go after wildebeests and zebras across the river causing a wave of movement in hundreds of animals at once. We sat and watched every African cat. We watched families of elephants play together at mud holes or rip down large trees with their trunks. We watched baby gazelles being born and the flamboyant dance of ostriches as they courted and mated. Males giraffes circled around each other for hours slapping their long necks against each other as they sparred. It is wondeful to see these magnificent animals but it is a gift to spend unhurried hours watching them interact with each other. Bernard's knowledge of wildlife behavior gave us this opportunity. No other safari compared well to Caracal for us.

Review about Central Kalahari Game Reserve by Beverly Houwing
Surprisingly colorful for a "desert". Good wildlife numbers and loads of birds. Deception Valley is a worthwhile place to see.

One of the most beautiful and unspoiled places in Africa.
Located in the heart of the Okavango - the wildlife experience doesn't get much better than this. The lodges are small and set apart, so you feel like you have the bush to yourself. Excellent game viewing options - on foot, boat, mokoro & vehicle. Anyone who enjoys a true safari experience should put Moremi at the top of their list.

Review about Botswana by Beverly Houwing
Low tourist volume compare to other safari destinations and quality of the lodges. Also the diversity of the locations makes the safari have a lot of variation in the scenery and animals.
Review about Kenya by Suryanarayan Ganesh
If you want to do one big safari in your lifetime, it has to be Kenya. All other Safaris pale in comparison. You just get so much variety, expertise & experience in one trip - all your previous or subsequent safaris will be compared to this trip. Maybe only one to Serengeti from Tanzania side can match.
