- AFRICA HOMELAND MOBILE SAFARISOkavango Delta, Botswana23 contributionsAMAZING, PLACE YOU DON'T WANNA MISS WHEN YOU ARE A TRUE NATURE LOVER, I STRONGLY RECCOMEND TRAVELERS TO DO CAMPING IN THE OKAVANGO DELTA, BECAUSE IT IS QUITE AFFODABLE FOR A LIFETIME.Written 22 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bing SSan Diego, CA11 contributionsJust came back from amazing Botswana. I joined Acacia Africa's Delta, Chobe group on its 6th day when it reached Victoria Falls from Pretoria and before it left Zimbabwe for Botswana. This review will cover only the last 7 days of the tour.
There were 7 of us (plus our driver/guide, Sam), consisting of a young couple from New York City, a group of 4 adults from Brisbane, Australia, and myself (from San Diego, California). From the very first day together, we congealed as a group, very much like a family on a road trip to somewhere exciting, bound to have fun.
Our guide, Sam, was the best ever. He was an open book and we enjoyed and appreciated his candor. This led to us doing the same as we learned of various cultural practices where we grew up. It cultivated a sense of camaraderie, familiarity, caring and concern for one another. We grew fond of one another, in spite of our inherent individual traits. We had some profound discussions because we accepted that we were all intelligent individuals. And this sentiment remained throughout the next 7 days in Botswana. In short, I would define our small group "perfect," which is unique because very few tour groups can be that due to diverse and sometimes conflicting, personalities. I know because I'm an avid traveler and have a healthy touring experience with groups. Also, prior to joining the Botswana group, I was with another that started from Cape Town, through the garden route all the way to Greater Kruger. There just wasn't any basis of comparison between these two experiences.
Sam made sure that we knew what we were doing at all times, and we were not exposing ourselves to danger. He was protective all the way. For example, he was willing to abandon his morning shower, for instance, wrap a towel and run out, just to stop me from exploring the bush around our last lodging. That would have been very embarrassing. Also, he delivered my dinner when I couldn't join the group due to a severe eye allergy, in spite of me telling him that I could fetch the food myself. Since I got lost twice returning to my lodge from dinner, he patiently walked me to my room to make sure I made it there. Because, you see, I'm 78 years old and my faculties, he surmised, were kind of defective due to age. Of course he was wrong on that aspect.
Our wildlife explorations were ample and thrilling, which included the Chobe National Park, sunset boat ride on Chobe river, bush walks, Khama Rhino Sanctuary. What took my soul, really was the Okavango Delta. Though we roughed it out there a bit (slept in a tent one night, were told to keep the tent zipped the entire night and that under no circumstances do we get out of the tent at all). Needless to say, I didn't get a good sleep that night. But it was a notable experience.
The delta gave me a very distinct impression of the waterways and being transported by the polers from one end to the other, the surrounding serenity was etherial, a slice of heaven. I took out my cell and typed up a poem to memorialize the almost sacred perception. I read the poem to the group after our last dinner together. Two nights prior, I think, I had the honor of reading 2 of my other poems to which they patiently listened.
Altogether, I believe I came out a better person with my communion with the delta and Botswana, thanks so much for the small family that adopted me and Sam who took really good care of us. They are all my best friends forever, having shared a very special time together.
Profound gratitude to Acacia Africa for a well-tailored tour that showcased the gifts of Botswana to mankind, and for assigning Sam to sentinel our small group. Heartfelt thanks to Sam for announcing that our group was the best among the 12 he had run for 2024. I told him he would NOT likely have a better group than us, ever.
Cheers to Acacia Africa and Sam.

From the calls in advance to go over everything and understand all of our wishes for the trip, then meeting us at the airport and introducing us to our most wonderful guide Joseph, then of course the adventure began and we went on the experience of a lifetime!
We were taken on daily tours of the bush, served great vegan meals every day, went on a dugout canoe ride, tried basket weaving and camped in the middle of the Moremi game reserve for multiple nights where we got to see these incredible animals living in their natural environment.
We saw lions, elephants, wild dogs, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, wildebeest and more! Joseph is incredibly kind and knowledgable and was always teaching us things about the wildlife. It's hard to put into words, but these memories will stay with our family forever.
Thank you Helene, David, Joseph and team!Written 21 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Did a mobile camping safari with a local guide from Botswana who looked after us really well. The photos say everything, can't wait to go again. AND added bonus that Botswana is one of the safest African countries.Written 12 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Edgar N2 contributionsMy visit largely exceeded my expectations. From the information and orientation I got from Lelobu Safaris (Joshua) to the administrative arrangements prior to the trip, the connection and support in Maun, and stay at the camp and safaris, everything was seamless, efficient, and successful. The safaris were superb with close views of lions, giraffes, zebras, a leopard, elephants, crocodiles, hippos, wild dogs, etc. I guess we were lucky because safaris could be unpredictable, but the abundance of fauna in the area makes it relatively more likely that you will see interesting things. Camp Khwai has an excellent location, with easy access to the Moremi reserve. You can see many animals right in front of the camp facilities. The rooms are very comfortable and clean and the food is great. And the best of all was its friendly and helpful staff. I don't know other places in the Okavango Delta but I would definitely recommend this camp and Lelobu Safaris. I had an unforgettable experience.Written 9 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Greg BPhoenixville, PA243 contributionsWe have just come back from a vacation in Southern Africa that included a safari experience in Botswana that was organized through Desert and Delta Safaris. We stayed at three of their lodges: Laroo La Tau, where we visited Makgadikgadi Pans and Nxai Pan National Parks, at Camp Okavango in the heart of the Okavango delta and did boat excursions, traditional makoto rides and walking safaris, and Chobe Game Lodge in the Chobe National Park where we did game drives and boat excursions on the Chobe river. I’ve written reviews separately for these lodges, but those reviews do not include the exceptional organization of the overall experience, coordination of the visit from arrival in Maun, Botswana, to delivery to Kasane airport for the continuation of our holiday. The 3 lodges we stayed at with Desert and Delta Safaris offered an amazing variety of terrain, African landscapes and culture. I cannot recommend Desert and Delta Safaris enough for a comprehensive Botswana safari experience.Written 25 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KTLoydLouisville, KY36 contributionsAmazing!!!...from meeting the owner, our wonderful guide, William, as well as Olie & Digs (apologize if misspelled). There isn't another company I would ever have chosen for this experience!!.. Absolutely everything was thought of for our 3 day/2 night safari. Our guide, William, has got to be the best guide in the entire area, he did everything to allow us the best experience, and he was above & beyond successful, we all truly, truly appreciated his efforts and his attentiveness to what we all hoped to get out of the experience, he literally made all of our personal hoped for sightings happen and then some! Food was plentiful and just amazing, I adored Olie & Digs and hope this reaches them, just to express how much I enjoyed meeting them, and appreciate how very well they took care of us and would choose them a hundred times over, thank you....thank you.....wanting to go on a safari???..THIS is the one, Temogo is absolutely the right choice, thank you so very much for having us;-)Written 6 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Victoria M15 contributionsPatrick is one of the best guides we've ever had. He speaks with great understanding of the wildlife, ecology, and history of Botswana. His knowledge of birds is amazing, and he's a wonderful teacher with excellent English. He and his staff are so friendly and welcoming that by the end of the trip we felt like family. We would highly recommend joining one of his trips!Written 27 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lisa F15 contributionsWow! I’ve made two visits to African Guide Academy and Kwapa training camp to learn about the wonder that is the Okavango Delta with the best trainers - JC and Sevara. I did the Nature Guide course in 2022 and two weeks of the Trails Guide course this year.
I researched a lot of options before choosing AGA. The camp is on the edge of the Delta and the only other vehicles you will see belong to AGA. It’s remote - no fences to be seen and there’s plenty of wildlife in and around camp. The staff are exceptional, the meals delicious, the tents comfortable. There is nothing finer than waking up to the dawn chorus or wondering what is snuffling past your tent at 2 am!
This year we had phenomenal elephant encounters on foot, along with buffalo. In the two weeks that I was there we also tracked lions and another group had leopard encounters. It was thrilling to learn about approaching PDAs ( that’s Potentially Dangerous Animals) And being with a group of like minded people, those as passionate about wildlife as I am and as eager to learn, meant that we soon felt like old friends.
AGA sponsors a local guide with each course. About half of our group of ten were doing the course for the BQA or FGASA qualifications, the others for enrichment.
I also love that AGA allows one to split the course if one has time constraints. I plan on going back for another two weeks to finish Trails Guide.

The Gallerist/Founder is lovely and welcoming. She has some of her own work and that of others which was interesting. I bought an upcycled bottle with painted African patterns.Written 26 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
