    Excellent trip. Very knowledgeable guide, the cook Kevin prepared special food for me since I don’t eat red meat or pork and the driver Shimoni has an eagle eye for spotting animals. Lots of early starts and long drives, setting up and breaking down tents, but as they say, “TIA” (this is Africa). Truly a trip of a lifetime!

    Our guide, cook and driver were the best part of the trip. They were very friendly and looked after the whole group. You get to see so many amazing animals. The Okavango Delta was a once in a life time experience.

    Very bad customer service at all, do not respect his customer and meet their need. He only care about the inventory of the first Aid box, and do not treat Customer's safety as his first priority. Very poor guy!

    The transportation truck should be fitted with better suspensions. It was a bone shaker on rough dirt-road. The tent that I stayed had leaks on the floor and at the corner, most probably punched by thorns and stones on the ground. However, the meals were good.

    Such an unforgettable trip! The Okavango delta was stunning and shouldn’t be missed! Our time their camping, eating and dancing with the local mokkoro “drivers” was unforgettable, and though I thought the animals would be the highlight, it was the people who truly made the experience. Lizzie our cook was a treasure xoxo
