EXTRAORDNARY EXPERIENCE IN ALL ASPECTS OF THE SAFARI
I set out to go on a budget safari with my family to explore the beauty of Botswana’s wildlife. What was advertised as budget camping turned out to be 5 star glamping with the most knowledgeable guide/tracker with expertise in animal behavior. Early Kingfisher Safari in Botswana provided a very personalized, once-in-a-lifetime 7-day adventure that surpassed all our expectations. Led by the exceptional owner/guide Sam and his team of dedicated passionate professionals, this safari was an experience that will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
Of the MANY standout aspects of this safari, the unparalleled knowledge and expertise of Sam was in a league of its own. His passion for the animals and their behaviors was infectious, and his ability to answer every question in-depth and with enthusiasm was remarkable. With Sam by our side, we were able to witness incredible wildlife encounters and gain a deeper understanding of the captivating animals that call this region home.
From the majestic elephants, the elusive big cats, to the endangered wild dogs, each sighting left us in awe. Sam's wealth of knowledge allowed us to appreciate the intricate dynamics of the animal kingdom, creating a profound connection with the wildlife around us. It was truly a privilege to witness these extraordinary creatures in their natural habitat while learning their unique behaviors.
Sam and his team truly set the bar high for exceptional service and hospitality. From the moment we arrived, their warm and welcoming demeanor made us feel like family. Their dedication and passion to ensuring our comfort and satisfaction was evident throughout the safari. An unexpected highlight of this budget safari was the multi-course meals we were served. Despite being in the heart of the wilderness, the expertise displayed by the camp's kitchen staff was astounding. Each day brought a new culinary delight, expertly prepared and beautifully presented. As I would mention to the small group at every meal, “I do not get food or service as good as this at home”.
While the focus of our trip was the wildlife, Sam and his staff also excelled in what is advertised as “budget camping”. I expected tents with sleeping bags. No sleeping bags, but a luxurious tent complete with carpeting and comfortable beds with daily service ensuring a restful night's sleep in the wilderness. The individual pop-up bathroom and shower area connected to each tent allowed for a comfortable private environment.
I cannot imagine a better safari experience even in a posh resort. This was truly a luxurious glamping experience provided at a budget rate. Every moment was filled with awe, wonder, and discovery. The opportunity to witness the incredible wildlife of Botswana in such an intimate and immersive manner was truly unforgettable. My family and I wholeheartedly recommend Early Kingfisher Safari to anyone seeking an exceptional safari experience that combines expert guidance, breathtaking wildlife encounters, and luxurious camping accommodations. This adventure has left us with new friends and spectacular memories to cherish for a lifetime!!!!

It was a nice trip to Pilanesberg and stay in Ivory Tree Lodge. I saw a lot of animals and only can recommend it. The staff was friendly and I felt safe. Although there was not so much information in advance, the team was flexible and responsive to every questions during the trip.

Very well organised and great communication
it was really nice. Well organized. The tour guide was friendly and helpful. Day was nice as it turned out to be sunny in an hour of game drive. Saw 2 of the big 5 (rhino and elephant). Disappointed to not see any of the cats but i believe we cant do anything about it. Overall would recommend to anyone who has a day at Johannesburg.

Outstanding service from start to finish.
I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a safari adventure in Tanzania. I must say that Savannah Explorers and our safari guide, Thomas, exceeded all expectations. From the moment we set foot in the parks, his passion for the wildlife and deep knowledge of the region shone through. He lead us to incredible sightings of lions, cheetahs, elephants, a leopard and countless other species. Not only was Thomas incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife, but he also shared fascinating insights about the local culture and ecosystem. His storytelling skills brought the African savannah to life, making every moment on the safari informative and engaging. He patiently answered our questions, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for the environment we were exploring.In summary, our safari guide, Thomas, was an exceptional companion throughout our time in Tanzania. His remarkable expertise, genuine enthusiasm, and commitment to our safety made for an unforgettable safari experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend Savannah Explorers and Thomas to anyone seeking an extraordinary adventure in the wilds of Tanzania.
