Great trip with lots of wildlife, particularly elephants, on show. Finally saw the elusive African wild dogs as we were lucky enough to visit when they were denning, so they were not as nomadic as usual. Another highlight was the meerkats near the Makgadikgadi pan. We camped to keep our costs down. This was standard camping sleeping on camp beds with a camp shower that was filled each evening with hot water from the campfire, and a pit toilet. Food was excellent. Astonishing what they came up with for dinner each night. A bottle of wine each night was included. Nights were cold, so rug up. Botswana (not just Shipungo) seems to favour open safari vehicles with a roof but no sides. It made for great game viewing but was very cold and dusty first thing in the morning, and when we travelled between game viewing areas.

There were only 2 of us on this 9-day camping safari in the Okavango Delta. The arrangements were easy and they were very clear about what to expect. Mark worked with me to design the itinerary we wanted. The price was good for what was basically a private safari. We had a cook, a driver/guide and a general helper. They were all good at what they did but also fun and flexible. They took very good care of us. We really enjoyed our time with them. Camping was comfy: a stand-up tent, cots with clean, newish bedding, more blankets than we needed (it was pretty hot until the rain started). The bathroom was rustic but functional. We camped in 4 different locations so as to see more different habitats. Every time we changed sites, the guys would break down, pack up and set up at the new one, all while we were out on safari or sitting in our chairs watching (honestly, we sometimes felt guilty). The food was plentiful and very delicious, especially because Shine was cooking over a campfire. The wildlife and the birds were everything we hoped for. Kem asked us at the beginning what we wanted to see and tried to give us the experience we were looking for. He knew where to find water which seemed to be the best places to see wildlife, and 3 of our camps were very close to water. Many nights we heard the hippos walking past our tent. And one day a pack of wild dogs ran through our campsite chasing impala. We were able to watch them hunt and even catch prey. Overall, it was a great experience and I highly recommend this company. Thanks to you all!

That was a 4D3N camp trip in Okavango Delta. We have never stayed in the jungle or somewhere like this, guides are patient to teach and remind us all the time. We love the everyday bush walk and mokoro sunset, and the meals are delicious, even the cook had no experience with Asian food though. Hope to have a chance to go back.

We were a couple on a private safari, and from the very first moment, they were very attentive to us and our needs. For example, we are vegans, and they went out of their way to prepare us an elaborate daily menu with alternatives to meat, like vegan sausages. The location of the camp was unbeatable, right in front of an open plain where lots of animals would gather, and you could watch them while having breakfast or lunch. Our guide, Kem, was both the guide and driver for our safari. It was clear that he loved what he was doing, and he made sure we could fully enjoy the experience, not only by seeing as many animals as possible but also by teaching us many fascinating facts about the park and its wildlife.

Safari of 9 Days exceptional wildlife camping start from Chobe n, p Savuti, Moremi Reserve, Okavango Delta and lastly Makgadikgadi Pans. Beautiful landscapes with a lot of animals. Excellent
