Amazing sightings, responsive staff, felt safe in their hands
We have done many safaris before but this was our first time in Botswana and would be the first mobile camping... Martin assured we would enjoy it... and we did! We found Kingfisher Safaris searching in Safari Bookings. We decided to do this trip last minute and contacted many companies but Martin was the most responsive and, to be honest, offered us a great tailored itinerary and we always prefer to deal with small, specialised businesses. Jack pot! The ground team is great and we felt safe in their hands. Pilot is very experienced, knowledgeable and a great driver. Elena was our main hostess on camp, very sweet and efficient. We loved Pauline's breads and cakes and the way she announces the menu. Toby and Onks (not sure the spelling) work hard to ensure the camp functions well. We visited three locations in the Okavango region:
-Khwai River concession (which is beautiful but sometimes too many cars at the sightings, especially around leopard and lions);
- Mababe (Chobe National Park), quiet, good for birds, loads of giraffes, we didn't see much of the main predators (probably because it was a cold spell) but we loved the sunrises, sunsets and the fantastic sky (stargazing was amazing in all areas).
- Xiini (Moremi Reserve) - fantastic sightings, beautiful scenery, quiet, we loved it.
We spent 3 nights at each location, time went far too quickly. We saw wild dogs with very young puppies, a pride of 9 lions encountering elephants in their path, lion cubs feeding on zebra, cheetahs and cheetah cubs feeding on impala, leopard very near (few meters) from our camp in Xiini (also catching a young owl from its nest in the evening), big herds of elephants and giraffes both with young ones, buffalos, hippos, hienas, jackals, many fantastic birds and more. So many great moments to remember forever!
The mobile camp is an experience in itself but we adjusted easily. We had a nice bed and at the back of the tent, we had the toilet (the ones used in motorhomes) and a bucket shower. We were there in late July and some days were quite cold early in the morning and in the evening. You can set a time for your shower and the crew will provide the hot water), they also provide hot water in basin in the morning and evening for you to wash hands/face. There is a separate tent for meals and after the afternoon drive you arrive in camp always to find a very nice fire, nibbles and a drink before dinner.
The process of packing up to move to a different site was the time we liked less, as it can take a while for staff to take everything down and pack the cars. It can be a bit boring as there's not much for us to do. It would be nicer if we could go for a short drive while the rest of the staff deal with dismantling tents and the essentials packing, so we could make the most of the limited time we had in Botswana.
Overall, a great experience!

This was our festival of love!💕💕😘😘
My husband and I are both nature lovers. This package was perfect for us. I started by watching elephants in Tarangire and ended by standing on the rim of Ngorongoro Crater and enjoying the greenery of the world together. We have seen the leopard. At the end of an afternoon safari in the Serengeti, sitting on a slope with wine, just the call of the birds around - I will never forget that moment.

Professional, well-organized, respectful, punctual
I recently had the pleasure of traveling with Verdoro Safaris, and it was an outstanding experience from the start to the end. Communication before and during the trip was clear and professional. Every question I had was answered with patience and detail, which made me feel confident and excited before the tour even began.The staff were good too. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and local culture, and his enthusiasm made the experience even more memorable. I enjoyed the game drives of Murchison falls and Queen Elizabeth National Park.
I highly recommend Verdoro Safaris to anyone looking for a reliable, enriching, and well-organized safari experience. You won’t be disappointed because they exceeded my expectations.

A Wonderful Safari with Kihindo Tours and Safaris
On Wednesday, 16 July 2025, we had a memorable safari with Kihindo Tours and Safaris (K.T.S.) in Mikumi. It is by chance that we have chosen radomly K.T.S on a list that our hotel has communicated to us. First of all, many thanks to Winnie who has provided timely smart feedbacks to our multiple questions. Winnie is available and her responses are helpful to take a quick decision. Everything was well organized from 1. the mornining step to get the train to Morogoro, 2. connexion from Morogoro train station to Mikumi and 3. the Safari with our professional guide Danford. He knows his job, with an easy communication (English and Swahili), caring and attentive to every question. On ONE single day, we managed to see almost all the different wild animals, bravo to our SMART and famous guide Danford and a well organized trip ! I may add as well that the food was excellent and we had our lunch in an appropriate location/almost open space. Thanks to the team who was involved in the kitchen service.
Are you planning a Safari in Tanzania ? I strongly recommend Kihindo Tours and Safaris (K.T.S.), you will not regret your journey !

Amazing tour!
I just finished the 17-DAY MADAGASCAR NORTH & SOUTH WILDLIFE & CULTURE EXPLORATION tour with Madagascar Natural Tours. Thanks to Harilala, Lucas and all of our other drivers and guides along the way, I had an amazing and memorable experience. Harilala was very helpful and accommodating from the start. He was able to put together an itinerary that was everything I wanted and more. He is very knowledgeable, organized, trustworthy and he communicated well from the very beginning. He even organized a stay for us and drove us to the airport on departure even though our 17 day tour was over. Lucas was also an amazing guide. He made sure everything went smoothly along the way and went out of his way to make our tour fun and memorable. I can’t imagine how the tour would be without him. The roads in Madagascar were rough and bumpy but we had a great driver that got us around safely. Madagascar Natural Tours gave me peace of mind, adventure, new experiences and memories that I will keep forever. Thank you 🙏🏼

Thanks to Harilala, Lucas, and all of our other incredible drivers and guides along the way, I had an absolutely amazing and unforgettable experience in Madagascar. From start to finish, everything was handled with care, professionalism, and a genuine desire to make our trip special.
Harilala was incredibly helpful and accommodating from the very beginning. He worked closely with us to create an itinerary that included everything I wanted—and more. It was clear right away how knowledgeable and passionate he is about his country. His organization, trustworthiness, and good communication gave me confidence and peace of mind before we even arrived. Even after our 17-day tour officially ended, he kindly arranged accommodations for us and personally drove us to the airport. That level of dedication and thoughtfulness was truly above and beyond.
Lucas was also a fantastic guide. He made sure everything went smoothly along the way and went out of his way to make our time fun and memorable. He was always checking in to make sure we were comfortable and happy. I can’t imagine what the experience would have been like without him.
Despite the rough and bumpy roads in Madagascar, we always felt safe thanks to our skilled and cautious drivers. Every part of the journey—from parks and wildlife encounters to cultural experiences and local food—was well thought-out and executed with care.
Madagascar Natural Tours gave me everything I was hoping for: peace of mind, a real sense of adventure, new experiences, and memories I’ll carry with me forever.
