- Camper140242465363 contributionsAs 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.Written October 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jules RSydney, Australia24 contributionsIn October 2023 three friends and I had the absolute pleasure of doing a 7 day safari in Botswana with Walking Sticks Travel & Tours. The great service began before we left Australia as we emailed to and fro asking questions and clarifying details about the trip and were provided with all the info we needed by the very helpful Kealeboga James. It was a mobile safari which meant we camped in 4 different areas. As such, we got to see different landscapes and animals through Okavango Delta, Khwai Community Area, Savute area and Chobe National Park. I arrived in Maun the day before our tour started but still I was greeted at the airport by Walking Sticks owner Phillimon who drove me to my hotel. He immediately struck me as a polite and respectful person and as we spent the week in his care he proved to also be professional, humble, flexible, trustworthy and extremely knowledgeable with regard to flora, fauna and all things nature. He was supported by a terrific, hardworking team including Chef 'Prince' (a funny fellow), another expert guide, and multi-skilled back-up people who did everything from poling the Mokoro canoes to setting up tents and completing many tasks required to look after our needs so all the hard work was done for us. Our tour began with an enthralling Mokoro trip through the beautiful pristine wetlands where we were amongst hippos, crocs, elephants and birds. Mokoro's are the main form of transport and our camping spot was inaccessible by road and located in a shady nook near the water where we could view elephants and hear the sounds of nature (eg lion's roaring) day and night. Our tents with en-suite were adequate and we enjoyed the food and gin & tonic 'sundowner's whilst watching the gorgeous sunsets. Each day we spent hours game viewing either on foot or by jeep and Phillimon had a gift at being able to track and locate all manner of wildlife including lion, hyena, wild dogs, buffalo, zebra, giraffe, baboon, leopard and a variety of antelope and birds. We learnt so much as he imparted his knowledge of their behaviour and the landscape. All our campsites were different and in lovely settings. If you are a person who loves nature and living amongst it, can be up at sunrise every day and handle the challenges of dusty, bumpy roads and hot weather (October) then this tour is for you. It is one of the most memorable experiences in my 40 years of traveling. Thank you so much to Phillimon - your integrity is a true asset. Walking Sticks is a locally owned and run business and deserves the highest praise.Written November 15, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Giny SToronto, Canada59 contributionsClothing
Proper attire is very important. Tips for travellers that join safaris during the winter months, bring winter cloths with you: Gloves, hat, scarves, items that can be worn in layers. Safari starts at approximately 5:30 AM, no windows or even windshield to allow better visibility but it means wind chill and lower temperature. It might be 3 Celsius to 8C at this time of the year going up to 25C to 28C around lunchtime, dropping again after sunset. Shoes, hiking shows leather preferable, tennis shoes allow sand and earth to get through.
We are very happy with Degree, his knowledge of wild life, in particular birds. He is very attentive
Dune Camp, but it might not be worthwhile driving a total of 8 hours to visit a private reserve. It is besides Kalahari Reserve, but we never had the opportunity to visit the actual reserve. Animals that we saw in Dune Camp are in most of the other government reserves. We wonder if it is actually ethical to support private reserves that prevent free movement of animals in some cases causing their death due to thousand of kilometers with high electrical fences.
In summary we would recommend dropping Camp/Lodge Dune Camp and those two days. There are two options, to make the safari shorter or to extend the days in the other two sites in particular Khwai or Moremi area. Instead of driving all the way from Maun to Khwai to add the flight as part of the package, picking up guests directly in that location. Chobe is too busy compared to Moremi. If the purpose is selling exclusivity Khwai/Moremi is the answer.Written August 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Our guide Isaac was extremely knowledgeable as a guide and made all of us feel comfortable in an environment where wildlife freely roam throughout each camp. Our attending staff kept us comfortable and well fed given that most of our meals were cooked over an open fire. Kudos to our cook for a job well done. Could write a book on how much we enjoyed this trip but will end here with saying this experience was well worth it. Comfortable camp good food and pleasant company.Written November 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Anne S15 contributionsOur Botswanan safari with Gideon and his crew was amazing. Their knowledge of, and passion for, the natural environment was clear from Day One. This was our first visit to Africa and we were not sure what we were going to experience. Camping in the wild gave us the opportunity to see animals big and small up close and away from large groups of people. Words cannot describe what it is like to see some of the animals you've read about or watch in documentaries in their natural habitat for the first time. This was an experience beyond our usual day to day lives but the briefings and guidance we received from the team made us feel safe during our time in the bush. We will never forget this. Our tent was very comfortable and large enough for a 185 cm tall person to stand up in and we appreciated the private toilet facilities attached to the back of the tent. Mikey, our Botswanan Master Chef, consistently produced wonderful meals in the bush kitchen and we loved sitting around the bush television at night, hearing the sounds of animals roaming around. We allowed 12 days to visit Magkadikgadi, Moremi and Chobe National Parks and Khwai Concession. All very different locations and offering wonderful wildlife experiences. Be aware that the driving time between Maun and some of these locations takes longer than it looks on a map due to the condition of the roads so if you want to visit them all, allow plenty of time. Also be prepared to be flexible as you are travelling in remote places and things don't always go to plan. We enjoyed this trip so much that we hope to do another one in the not-too-distant future. Ke a leboga to Gideon and your team, Anne & Paul.Written September 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mike Bayly25 contributionsEver left a destination grinning so hard your face hurts? That was our experience of Botswana hosted by Joe from Thru the Lens. Joe and his team were so incredibly gracious, professional and kind in providing great campsites and camp experiences from which our photographic journey of the Moremi Game Reserve began and ended. That journey was epic!!! Joe Ramsden is a tracker, animal behavioural expert, gifted photographer and all round great bloke. His expertise, at all times, placed us in the perfect position for the perfect image. The bloke is a modest genius! If you are considering a trip to Botswana, seek out Thru the Lens Photographic Safaris Botswana. 10/10... absolutely amazing....Written June 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- tiggr2018New Delhi, India17 contributionsMy partner and I are travelling by motorbike through Africa. We wanted to see the Okovango Delta but didn't want to waste money renting a 4x4. We found the orange 'Okovango Scenic Flights' desk in Maun airport very easily. They were much more straight forward to book with than the other companies as they quoted the price per person ($200, with no hidden additional costs) for the 1 hour scenic flight and had a variety of different sized planes to accomodation different sized groups. We did not have to wait for more people to make a larger group which really helped us with our last minute booking. We were given free choice of when to go (early morning and late afternoon best for game viewing) that day or the next. The entire team were professional and very friendly. We got to see lots of elephants, giraffes, ostrich, wilderbeast as well as some of the delta's waterways. It was such an incredible experience which we will never forget. We would highly recommend this company to others 👍🏼Written December 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
