          Wealth of Knowledge
          The exchange and tour were fantastic. The driver was a great help processing through the border and was very gracious with any stops I wanted to make. Additionally, the tour guide at the falls was a fountain of knowledge both on the falls and Zimbabwe as a whole. I learned so much more information than I would have on my own. If you have the chance, take this tour and don't look back. Every penny is worth it and I can't imagine a better experience.

          Unforgettable Okavango Delta Adventure with Kalahari Breeze Safaris
          I had the most incredible experience with Kalahari Breeze Safaris in the Okavango Delta. It was truly the highlight of my entire road trip. The serene beauty of the Delta, along with the guidance of Craig and our two local Mokoro guides, made for an unforgettable adventure. Visiting the village was a unique and enriching experience, allowing me to connect more deeply with the local culture and our guides. The genuine care shown for the animals, the environment and the relationship between nature and people throughout the tour made it even more special. I wholeheartedly recommend Kalahari Breeze Safaris to anyone looking for a memorable and authentic journey. Thank you for creating such lasting memories!

          Good Day trip but with a caveat
          Overall good experience, mokoro guides are nice and good. Just be aware, the day trip needs a minimum number of 4 passengers, otherwise, it will be cancelled or offered you to reschedule. So if you're solo traveller or pressed on time, this might be an issue. I think this should be fully disclosed and explained on the listing, not a vague one-liner. Seems disingenious on the operator side.

          A superb experience
          The trip was well organised and went very smoothly. When we wanted to add on the white water rafting and Devil's pool at Victoria Falls they re-shuffled everything so the timing went perfectly. They advised us on the little things such as visa details and what to wear and bring, especially for Wild camping. The wild camping was tailored to what we want and they went above and beyond. The chef cooked delicious food and they kept the place spotless. We saw so many animals up close in the Delta and Chobe. The river kayaks with hippos nearby were great. Hearing nature sounds was so relaxing. The Falls guides were all so good. White water rafting was exhilarating and Devil's Pool a fantastic experience.

          What a way to see the best of Botswana and get up close with animals!
          As a solo woman this was a fantastic way to travel, as I joined an existing group of two for the camping part of it, then travelled solo onto Kasane (Chobi National Park) and Victoria Falls where I stayed in hotels. Maria tailored the trip to meet my requirements and was efficient and courteous in answering my questions. The highlight for me was the camping as it is the best way to get up close with animals, but you must be prepared to 'rough it' a bit - camp bed and en-suite long drop toilet and bush shower (with hot water) - but all comfortable. The elephants came to us one night - I looked out my tent window and all I could see was elephant. The guide was dedicated in seeking out the animals and the three camp staff were efficient and friendly. The first night I slept on a mattress in the open at the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans - wow, what stars. Then two nights camping at a mobile camp in the Okavango Delta, a night R&R in Maun, then three nights camping in Moremi Game Reserve. The number and variety of animals and birds sighted exceeded my expectations. My favourite sighting was the pride of three lionesses with their eight cubs.

          What a wonderful day trip! We were picked up by our awesome driver right on time. Our poler guide Flamingo was so knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. We got to see tons of animals and learn about the delta while peacefully floating along the river. I would highly recommend!

          Amazing experience - what a safari should be!
          We spent a total of 5 nights/6 days doing an overland tour from Maun to Kasane and spent 3 nights in Moremi and 2 nights in Savute/Chobe. Our guide, Clifford, was extremely knowledgeable and able to identify all animals and birds easily, able to navigate the difficult roads, and able to do these while also looking for animal tracks and giving us a very informational tour. You can tell his knowledge and passion for the areas which was infectious. We saw tons of animals - lions on every single game drive, leopards, buffalo, and tons and tons of elephants, hippos, zebras, impala etc. Overall, we had a lot more time on game drives than I have experienced when staying in lodges and because of this had more time to see animals and to sit and observe them (like watching elephants do mud +dust baths!). The "camp team" was also excellent, the food was fantastic (thanks OG!) and I definitely did not expect hot showers in the bush so that was a wonderful surprise. Great staff and a great group we were paired with, felt like family by the end of the week!

          Visit to the falls
          Amazing place that should be visited if in this part of Africa. We had a guided tour of the falls, which was informative, walked from one end to the other stopping at each viewing point for photos and to admire the falls. Very clean, pathways in good condition, easy walking and wide enough for buggies/wheelchairs.

          Fantastic safari experience
          We had an absolutely wonderful safari with Kalahari Breeze starting in Victoria falls and then through Botswana. They helped us plan our dream trip, organisation was excellent and everything went very smoothly. The guides were all excellent, friendly and knowlegeable. The highlight for me was the wild camping experience in the Okovango delta. The night sleeping under the stars in the Makgadikgadi salt plans was amazing but marred by some organisational issues on the part of the lodge. All the other lodge experiences were great, very comfortable with great food. Thank you Kalahari Breeze! Highly recommended!

          Peaceful Mokoro Trip
          This part of the delta was beautiful and our Guide from the Village Gedeon was very knowledgeable. He told us everything we needed to know. We saw a lot of Hippos, Giraffes with a baby, Gnus, Impala, Buffalos, Zebras, Pelicans, lots of other birds and Elefants. All in all amazing experience.

          Amazing experience.
          We opted for a bespoke 6 day tour. We started at Maun and did 2 days wild camping in Moremi, two days in Khwai at a lodge and two days on a houseboat in Seronga. Maria from Kalahari Breeze was amazing. She was prompt with all correspondence and made some brilliant suggestions for our itinerary. The wild camping was amazing. A team prepared our food and our tents. We saw amazing wildlife, especially lions, and wonderful sunsets. Tsidi the driver and Ronnie the mechanic were awesome. For this part od the journey we were a group of 8. We then had two days at Moremi O Bona Lodge which was out of this world. Mocks our guide managed to track us leopards and wild dogs as well as the wonderful other sightings. The whole team here made us so welcomed and they cared for us well. From here we flew to Seronga where Cpt Sam and Jonah welcomed us and we tried mokuru, bird watching and fishing. And from there back to Maun. None of this would have been possible without Kalahari Breeze. They made our trip unforgettable.

          Amazing
          Amazing day, giraffes and elephants on the track in. Within 30minutes of reaching the park we were 2.5 metres away from a leopard keeping an eye on the antelope. Drove for another 20 minutes to see a massive herd of Zebra drove around the corner to a pride of 4 lions looking well feed relaxing under a tree once again amazingly close. Then went in search of the painted wild dog low and behold we found a pack of this endangered species once again with a very good viewing point of them relaxing in the shade. All in one day is pretty amazing.

          What Safari is all about!
          What a great experience. Communication was spot on and professional. Maria, the owner, is super pleasant and willing to help in any way. Let's start with the ride. My description might sound negative, but it is not. We found it to be one of the highlights of the trip. Probably 70 miles off grid on rugged bumpy roads. I think people would pay just for the experience. The Delta is an untouched oasis of what life has been like for thousands of years. "Raps" was our guide. Excellent choice. As a poler he is skilled and as a guide he is informative and speaks near perfect English. He has a great personality and sense of humor. Hippos, giraffe, various birds, impala, buffalo...all were present. The Bushwalk brought us within 20 feet of 6 giraffes feeding and a small group of zebra. The campsite epitomized what camping is all about. Tents were set up, liens provided plus some basic essentials. We were greeted warmly and offered a fresh wet towel to freshen. The site was positioned near a large watering hole so plenty of wildlife came into view. Baboons and several listed above were present. Master was our head guide and he is focused on providing you with the best experience seeing the animals. He did not disappoint. Lions, ostrich, Buffalo, wild dogs, hyenas, various birds, plus more. OG was the head chef and delivered great quality food throughout the day. All food is cooked on open flame and he makes the best bread. Cooked in the ground covered in coals this bread was legit. You must add this to your Africa safari plans. We WILL BE BACK!

          Unforgettable experience
          Very special and not to be missed experience in Okavango delta. Our poler was very informative, pointing and naming different birds and animals when noticing them. He would stop Mokoro and positioned it for better photo position. But, it highly depends on the poler. Some other members from our group in other Mokoro canue were highly unsatisfied with their poler as it kept silent all the time.

        Aug 2023 • Family
        In the second part of August my family and I went on a mobile camping safari in all the major areas of interest in Botswana, including the Okavango Delta, Moremi, Savuti with complementary short visits of the Makgadikgadi Pan and Kasane Chobe areas, finishing with a visit of Victoria Falls in Zimbawe. A mobile camping safari, the first for us, has proven by far the best safari experience. We were close to the natural environment, we visited secluded places as if the areas we visited were only for us and saw a multitude of animal life in many situations so striking that every sighting was a real novelty. We must thank the expert guides Clifford and Master for their excellent leadership, organizational skills and vast knowledge. Spending the evenings with them at dinner and around the camp fire was also a way of knowing them personally better and being closer to the people in Botswana making it a richer experience. We would not have enjoyed the experience as much if we had not had the comfort of a well organized camp with excellent, simple and nutritious food prepared by the staff. Finally, a word of thanks to Maria and Chris for a very well designed custom made safari, the excellent overall organization and all the needed support for local logistics. We would strongly recommend Kalahari Breeze for having made this mobile camping safari experience truly unforgettable!

        I had an amazing time on this camping trip. The hard working crew did a great job in erecting and dismantling our camp every three days. Our guide was was very informative (and also a very good, tirelss driver), and had great skills and knowledge, which resulted in us seeing a wide range of animals and birds, and learning about the plants and geography of the areas we visited. We were well fed, and apart from the generous meals, enjoyed morning tea and "sundowners" every day in special locations. Special mention to OG's baking skills - his bread and desserts prepared in a camp oven were something else. Everyone we had contact with from Kalahari Breeze was friendly and helpful - thank you to all for an unforgettable time.

        We had booked the tour in 2020 before pandemic and finally in August 2022 we could start it. In these two years we were updating with Maria and Chris, excellent customer care. The tour was perfectly organized, the mobile camping staff was excellent and professional, we enjoyed avery single moment in the wilderness. The accomodation in Maun studios was very nice, the owners are kind and always available for a ride to bring you to dinner or town. The lodges are also excellent Kubu lodge in Chobe and Masuwe lodge in Victoria Falls. Chris as responsible of ground staff and organization came to the airport and provided the briefing of the tour and was always available for any info or request asking us time to time feedback about how the trip was going.
        We spent unforgettable days. Thank you to Maria, Chris and all the mobile camping staff! we hope to come back to visit again Botswana!

        I'm a retired senior, travelled most continents, but not Africa until this August. I love to rough it in nature, but am health conscious. I was a bit apprehensive about health hazard in traveling Africa.
        My August trip debunked my concerns. It's a very uniquely awesome experience, unexpectedly safe and comfortable.
        I joined a 6-traveller group lead by Helen Davies for her Botswana and Victoria Falls trip. I chose her after reading her Africa travel blogs - she travelled Africa extensively. Besides being experienced, knowledgable, she is also a very caring, organized yet flexible trip leader.
        We saw so many animals in amazingly close-up: Lions, hyenas, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, just to name a few. Also countless variety of beautiful birds.
        We visited aborigines, bush walk with them, learned a lot about their life skills, art, music and dance.
        Half of the days, we stayed in hotels and other days, we camped in tents. A local group setup the tents, each with a bathroom and hot shower! Cooked meals on camp fires.We don't need to do anything but enjoy the safari and freshly cooked food.
        Helen hires many local small business groups to facilitate our trip. She must have good connections and made good choices - these local groups were very competent, so our whole trip went without a hitch, and the price of the trip is reasonable. The local groups were also very friendly and helpful - another way for us to enjoy contact with Africans.
        I saw a very few mosquitos and no tse tse flies.
        I feel very lucky to have went with Helen for my first Africa trip - definitely a memory to be treasured.

        This safari trip exceeded my expectations as a full nature and Botswana cultural experience. I just had to show up and everything was planned, including the camp setup out on the terrain and re-location to a new region every three days, daily excursions, three good meals a day including creative three course dinners, a full sense of security, a fun and interactive crew taking care of everything, and an experienced guide to track and discuss all the animals and habitat.

        Kalahari Breeze was a great company with whom to do business. They helped us set up something custom for just my mother and me, and we got to do everything we wanted. From the time we arrived in Maun, until the time we left Botswana, they planned our activities, coordinated our guides, and had everything covered. Both Maria and Chris were responsive and really cared about the quality of our trip. Highlights included days and nights in the Okavango Delta camp, trip to the river at Makgadikgadi, and a night on the Salt Pan. All our experiences were different and exciting. Walking on the savanna with the animals was just the best!
        Highly recommend Kalahari Breeze!

        Our guide, Clifford, was very knowledgeable and led us to many incredible close viewings of animals and birds.
        The whole team were professional and took pride in a well run camp and delicious meals.
        Highly recommended.

        *Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
