We had a wonderful and unique experience with Tony. Everything was great from start to the end. Tony is v a passionate and he will share his knowledge about wildlife nature. Tony will always make the extra effort to show you animals even after a long day of drive. the organization and the campe were perfect.
Thanks Tony for who you are a human being and to share your passion about this incredible piece of Nature in this beautiful country of Botswana

Probably the most amazing week of my life!

About safari in Botswana: it is a bit more expensive than e.g. Kenya but therefor you are not one of ten or more vehicles surrounding a group lions. I really appreciated the sustainable way they are dealing with the animals and the tourism.

Animals: we saw maybe a hundred giraffes, up to 200 elephants, 25 lions, ... all of them with babies, never would have dreamed of seeing so many! Note: we were in rainy season, you can google the differences.

About Tony / our guide:
Besides Tony there is another guide in the company called Vincent who was our tour guide. He was able to tell a lot about animal behavior, made us feel safe and it was always a laugh. Really cool guy, I really liked him!

Price:
Compared to staying in lodges (excluding those with privates reserves which are way in a different price league) you will see the same animals as everyone is doing their game drives in the same area of the park. The reason his offers are so much cheaper is (as I can guess so far) due to being camping instead of staying at a fancy lodge. I didn’t mind it in any way as it made the trip so much more intense.

Staying in the bush:
For the camping we did go for the ‘luxury version’ which allows you to go toilet at night and gives you more time to relax. The latter was appreciated by all of us due to having to take in all the impressions.
The food was basic but well prepared. So there is nothing wrong with some good Spaghetti Bolognese, some food was actually really good.
The car was in a very good condition. I think up to 5-6 persons per car is comfortable, though Vincent said they usually don’t take more than 5 anyway.

We did an 8 days camping safari with Tony Mobiel safaris covering Chobe, Savuthi, and Kwai in July. Thank you Tony Safaris for a seamless holiday exceeding our expectations. Truly appreciate the personalized service and keenness of the staff to make sure everything was in order and we were comfortable. We did this trip as a family the kids loved the experience! Jack was our guide and did an exceptional job during the game drives and made every effort to make sure we got to see the aminals.. the tents were comfortable and the campsites were exceptional.. giving us the true feeling of being in the wild.. The food every day was good and they took care of our dietary restrictions. Overall an unforgettable experience and one of our best holidays! Botswana is a beauty! we will be back!

After having to cancel our original trip due to covid 3 years ago, i finally got to go on this trip of a lifetime. Tony's Mobile Safaris have been great every step of the way. After choosing them due to great reviews, after this trip, i was so happy i did. You never really know yet Tony's Mobile safaris were everything everyone said they were.

I did a 10-day mobile safari from Kasane to Maun. Jack, our safari guide was fantastic. He was committed, passionate, knowledgeable and fun! An excellent driver on sandy Botswana roads, he got us everywhere safely. He was committed to getting the best siting's of so many animals. Chobe National Park and Moremi Game Reserve were extraordinary. So many animals & such varied landscapes. I am so glad we got to spend a couple of days at each location to really experience everything it had to offer. We had elephants in the camp & heard lions roaring at night. Chobe NP was much quieter than the Serengeti which allowed you to enjoy the animals up close.

The travel days were long and hot however the amazing animal sightings and great company made up for this. A hot shower was always waiting at the other side. Days were spent on safari drives in the morning and afternoon and resting in camp during the hot part of the day. Lunch was served hot by our awesome cook Bongo and our camp was always set up by Dishu. The boys made a great team and made the trip seamless and enjoyable. The food was amazing and having a hot shower while camping was a blessing.

I would definitely travel with this team and Tony's Mobile Safaris again.

I can't say enough about Tony Mobile Safaris. First, staying in a tent on safari is the best way to actually enjoy Botswana! Each night, it was so fun to listen to the animals. There were 6 of us on safari and 3 staff taking care of us from taking us out each day tracking the animals, cooking for us and having the tents up and ready when we got back to camp! Tony was the best guide while Ronald and Ben did an amazing job with cooking for us each day! We had so much fun. And Tony seemed to always find the animals. And I don't think there was an operator that Tony didn't know! The week was amazing! Thank you!

Absolutely brilliant, I never imagined I’d get so close to the animals, especially the crocs and the lions! Nkula is the best guide, funny, knowledgeable, and seeks out exactly what you’re looking for. He made our holiday so special. Highly recommend him and the company.

Tony is so knowledgeable on the areas to go and knows exactly how to get you to see all of the amazing animals Botswana has to offer (lions, elephants, giraffes, hippos, hyenas, zebras) and so much more! Tony’s team goes above and beyond to make your experience wonderful. His crew sets up camp with comfortable beds/tents/toilets/showers. They make the most incredible home made food over the campfire for breakfast & dinner; and pack delicious lunches while you are out on your safari for the day. The entire team at Tony Mobile Safaris makes you feel welcome and at home. My mom and I did an 11 day safari, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

From the minute we saw Tony we knew we will have the best safary experience.
Tony and his team are professionals.
They treated us well, helped us when our suitcases didn't arrive at time, they made the best food, and made the safary even better.
At the time we've been in the parks we saw how professional is Tony, all the other guides warship him and all the other people that were there seemed as they want to be with Tony too, he really is the kindest person we've met on our trip.
All the tents were just perfect and comfortable, we had beds and showers with access from the tent so we had our privacy as well.
We thank Tony and his team and absolutely we will come back to more safarys with Tony.

Was without doubt one of the best few days of my life! Given the short duration of our safari (3 days) and the timing at the start of the wet season, we were amazed by the sheer number and variety of wildlife we saw throughout Chobe (lions, hippos, giraffes, elephants, buffalo, impala, warthog etc.). Tony was incredibly flexible in arranging the safari at extremely short notice, for which we are extremely grateful! Tony, Ben and Jack were all extremely friendly and easy going. Brilliant experience!

It was amazing unforgettable safari tour! We're rather experienced in safari in different African parks with overnight staying in lodges. It was the first time in mobile camp sleeping. And we were extremely happy because of that experience. Tony and his professional team organized for us 5-star accommodation. Hot shower under the moon, delicious cakes an fire, absolutely safe and comfortable staying in the middle of Africa. We spent 5 days and 4 nights traveling with Tony and Unqula and it was great! Already plan to repeat our trip.
