    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!

    We had an amazing time!

    Our guide Moses was a brilliant guide and ensured that we had a very positive experience taking home with us memories of a huge array of animals, previously only seen in books and zoos! His knowledge of animals, birds, trees and plant life was amazing!

    Simon and the team looked after us really well despite the challenges they faced with punctures and supply trucks. We loved our tents and found the camp beds really comfortable and the al fresco showers and loo surprisingly easy. Having animals so close to our camp made this especially magical.

    The river safari in Chobe was a great end to the trip, allowing us to see many of the animals a lot closer up and from a different perspective, and the transfer from Chobe to Victoria Falls went very smoothly.

    If we were doing this again, we would add in one or two extra days so that we could build in more 2-night stays during the holiday (we did a 5-day trip). This would make it more relaxing allowing for an occasional afternoon siesta instead of consecutive days of long drives. That said, we thoroughly enjoyed what we did despite being very tired at the end!

    A wonderful holiday and one that we will definitely recommend to others.

    On the communication side, everything was great, but an indication of the potential travel times each day (in addition to the morning and evening jeep safaris) would have helped with our planning and to manage our expectations of time on the "road".

    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!

    We had a wonderful trip in the Okavango with Mosu Safari Tours. We saw so many animals and birds and felt completely safe the entire time. Communication beforehand by Kemy was excellent. Our cook and camp hostess, Temptation, was an absolute gem and really went out of her way to make the experience as good as it could possibly be, even helping celebrate my sister's birthday in the most wonderfully memorable way. Our community guides were mostly friendly and were keen to make our experience as enjoyable as possible. The camp was very comfortable and the food was outstanding. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone wanting a beautiful immersive delta experience.

    If you are seeking to be close to the animals, observe them from your camp chair, watch them roam through the campsite at night and early morning, then this is the safari for you. On this unforgettable 11 day journey we navigated the tranquil waters of the Okavango Delta, up early for daily safaris with our knowledgable guide O.T who prioritises your safety while enriching your adventure all the time incorporating everything the magical savannah delivers. The thrill of spotting native wildlife; lions, cheetahs, leopards, giraffe, impala, elephants, painted dogs, hyenas and many more all in the comfort of your vehicle, boat or mokoro. Our meals and sleep were interrupted by the call of the wild, so don't miss this opportunity to create lasting memories as you soak up and sweat the harsh beauty of Botswana, Lastly, a special thanks to our "safari Squad" OT, (guide), Ollie (cook), Election (driver & camp hand) and Freddie (apprentice camp hand). Everyday you rose with a smile, great food and company as we journeyed through Moremi, Kwai, Delta, and Chobe National Park. This was a safari of a lifetime. Highly recommend Walking Stick tours to anyone who is adventurous and truly awaits to capture the African calling. Do not hesitate and book now.

    What an amazing experience we had with Kalahari Breeze!
    This was our first time in Botswana where we did the 8 day wild camping in Okavango and Moremi followed by two days to the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. In the months leading up to the trip, we were in frequent communication with the lovely Maria and Chris who listened to our interest and guided us to our perfect tour.

    The first 3 days were spent in the inner Okavango Delta where transport to the campsite was by Mokoro. Gliding through the long grass whilst spotting hippos in the distance really set the standard high! Our campsite was untouched tranquility with only the animals for company, so much so we even had a family of elephants visit us one afternoon which was a real highlight. The walking tours within Okavango were a great experience having previous only done game drives in previous trips. The food was excellent throughout all cooked on an open fire!

    The game/scenery in Moremi was a great contrast to the Okavango. Once again our guide was incredibly knowledgable and the camp staff raced to ensure our camp was ready for arrival.

    Sleeping under the stars in the Salt pans was definitely worth the trip and added to our experience in seeing the different aspects to Botswana.

    With June being the coldest month (temps dropping to 2 degrees at night) Maria and Chris really thought about all the finishing touches including hot water bottles at night!

    With Botswana being one of the few places where you can in fact “wild-camp”, this trip truly felt like an authentic experience. We would love to come back again.

    A magical place to visit to see the African Wildlife up close and observe these beautiful animals in the wild. So many animals to see, Majestic Elephants, Lions, Giraffes, Zebras, Leopards, Wildebeest, Wild Dogs, Hippopotamus and so many birds. Our Guide Clifford was so aware of where all the animals were, and had been, that we were able to see so many every day. We were so well looked after by the camp staff, and the food was great. It was amazing to hear some of the animals at night from our tents, and we felt completely safe at all times. We would highly recommend Kalahari Breeze Safaris.

    It was a Trip of a Lifetime, we loved every minute of it !!!

    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!

    The service was excellent. They really went above and beyond what I would have expected. I took a day trip to Moremi park and another day trip which was the Mokoro/canoe trip.

    We had an amazingly interesting tour with Walking Stick Safari in the Okavango delta. Unfortunately we could not get to Chief Island, since there was not enough water in the river, - but the guys helped us to find an equally satisfying experience. We had mokoro trips and many walking tours in the savannah where we could discover animal and bird life in a close way. Experience of having long walks and discover elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalos, antilops and birds in their natural habitat without disturbing them was an unparallel experience. Obama, our guide proved to ba an excellend companion guide. During the 3 days we had our private cook Elecion, who was able to serve perfect and delicious lunches and dinners mad all on open fire. In the evenings we had great conversations with the guys and learned a lot about their life and preferences, just as well we told our life. We got good friends in the meantime.
    Thank you for all! :-)

    For the background: Our trip was a '21 Nights Tailor Made Trip', just for the two of us, leading us to Ntwetwe Pan, Nxai Pan, Tsodilo, Moremi, Kwai, Savuti, Chobe starting in Maun and ending in Kasane. We booked the trip with Lucas from home via the internet.

    Once we finished our joint planning, Lucas wrote in an email 'this journey will change your life' - and it did! Lucas guided us as guests into the realm of the wild animals of Botswana so that we felt close and welcome. With his extensive experience and profound knowledge of the entire fauna and flora he both taught and entertained us, but most memorable of all he led us to many overwhelming encounters with fascinating animals both big and small, including all the iconic safari mammals, but also rare species like wild dogs, many birds, and more. These encounters felt new, surprising, and somehow even more exciting every day.

    Our game drives usually started from and ended at our tent camps, where Lucas and his team, Mosa (the chef), Monametsi and Gisto, pampered us in every conceivable way and in a warm-hearted, almost family-like atmosphere. Delicious food and drinks, perfect camping facilities for the bush, very professional organization, and not to forget the smiles and laughter complemented our phantastic game drive experiences.
