Authentic and Unforgettable Safari
5/5

My boyfriend and I just came back from an amazing 7 days Chobe - Savuti mobile safari trip with Tony. Before the trip, I was a little worried as I did not know what to expect since it was our first time visiting a safari, and also the first time I did camping. However all those worries went away as soon as I saw how professional Tony and his team was from Day 1! They did their best to make sure that their guests are comfortable and well taken care of. Everything was always ready for us. We just had to eat, sleep and go out to look for the animals.

Our bush master, Tony is a nature lover and an avid photographer. He is very sharp and a natural at tracking the animals. We saw everything we hoped to see! Tony is very knowledgeable about the wildlife and would answer any questions you have.

Tony has a great sense of humor and made the trips fun. Eddie is an excellent cook and made sure our tummies were filled. Washa took such good care of us that we felt so pampered throughout the trip. The whole tour was such good value!

It was definitely a fun, authentic and unforgettable safari experience to be able to be sleeping in the same grounds as the animals.

One of the best journeys ever
5/5

We just returned from a 7 day tour with Tony through Chobe Waterfront and Savuti on a camping safari. The experience was overwhelming. Tony proved to be an excellent guide and a great host.

Tony himself obviously is a great wildlife enthousiast and passionate photographer. Being a photographer himself he offered excellent angles and light of the animals he tracked for us (we will never understand how he does it: even in wild bush he would find an hyena for us, he tracked cheetahs, lions, and a huge variety of other animals). Other than I experienced on previous safaris, all the animals were very active, making the photography extra interesting.

The tour was well organized and left nothing to be desired. What was a very pleasant surprise was that he offers 220 in the Jeep for loading camera batteries, which was a thing less to worry about. The helpers Eddy and Mash were very friendly and served lovely food on the trip. For the two of us this was one of the very best trips we ever made. Thank you very much Tony and Merry Christmas!

Excellent Service
5/5

I used Tony Mobile Safari to visit Chobe National Park. The visit was during the wet/low tourist season and I was travelling solo. I originally tried to book a safari through the hotel I was staying but the tour operator did not provide tours for solo travelers in the wet season because it was not cost effective. I went to Kasane town and came across Tony Mobile Safari. Tony arranged a guide, tour, and transportation even for solo travelers. The guide was very knowledgeable, drove throughout multiple routes in the park to find the best animal viewings, and provided excellent information and details about each animal encountered. A great experience with great service I highly recommend Tony Mobile Safari.

What a thrill!
5/5

Tony Mobile Safaris exceeded my expectations in the areas of customer service and the care they provide into making the safari experience genuine. Anthony and his coworkers are all friendly, and ready to help with any concerns. As a tour company, they handle logistics of where and when to go, and help set up camp and provide amazing foods. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who's considering a safari in Botswana.

Awesome camping safari
5/5

I had such a great time on my safari. There were three of us, and we did a private three night camping safari. If you are looking for everything to go perfectly then look elsewhere. But if you are looking for a true African experience, are willing to be flexible and looking to have fun this company is definitely the way to go. I enjoyed not only learning about the animals but also learning about the Batswana people. Would highly recommend.

Excellent and safe experience
5/5

I have no doubt that Tony and his team are the best in Botswana. He took I and 2 friends in a overnight Safari in Chobe National Park. He is quite talented to find the best Chobe can offered, and we felt very safe with him, besides he is a good cook. Highly recommend his services.

Reliable, considerate, local, knowledgeable, would choose again!
5/5

We chose Tony Mobile Safari based on availability, package content, price and reviews. We wanted a versatile safari experience of 3 nights during the New Year and were happy to find an option offering a boat cruise on Chobe River, 1 night in Chobe National Park and 2 nights in Savuti. We preferred choosing a local and independent company, although it seemed like a bit of a gamble due to payment in advance. Everything went completely smoothly, though, and we were left feeling ecstatic with no complaints whatsoever. High recommendation to anyone travelling to Kasane for a safari adventure!

Our guide, Mabuta ("Jack"), is among the best in the business for sure! Very knowledgeable and quick to identify different animal species, full of funny and interesting facts and anecdotes, and an obvious passion and respect for nature. He was also incredibly considerate (or he could read our minds) as he stopped the Land Cruiser and was very patient in letting us observe different animals and plants from elephants to dung beetles without rushing (which is what we have experienced with some other companies). We managed to see a lot, thanks to Mabuta's excellent tracking skills and top class bush rally driving skills. Even driving bumpy and swerving tire tracks at full speed, he always warned us of bushes and tree branches. We found two lionesses with their cubs snoozing in the shade of a tree, completely obscured from view from the road. We also made it in time to see a leopard and a pack of eight African wild dogs spotted by another accomplished guide.

Our accommodation was assembled by Disha and tasty vegetarian food cooked in abundance by Ta. We were very comfortable in our tent with army style cots for beds and an adjacent bathroom (warm shower available!). We also felt very safe as the team was so sharp in recognising animal calls but had a calm and confident demeanor. The Land Cruiser had a fridge so there was always plenty of cold water and space for soft drinks, yoghurt, etc. Second breakfasts and tea breaks were enjoyed at specific locations in the nature reserve with excellent views of e.g. a hippo in his pond or a dazzle of zebras.

5-Day Camping Safari with Tony’s Mobile Safari: An Unforgettable Adventure!
5/5

Our group of four recently completed a 5-day/4-night camping safari with Tony’s Mobile Safari, starting in Kasane and ending in Maun, visiting Chobe, Savuti, and the Okavango Delta. We can confidently say it was an absolutely amazing experience!

The wildlife sightings were beyond incredible—we saw elephants, lions, zebras, leopards, cheetahs, and many more animals up close! We hardly needed binoculars as Tony’s expert guidance allowed us to observe them from the best angles.

Camping in the wild was a fantastic experience with all the amenities thoughtfully set up by Tony’s outstanding team. Each tent had its own toilet and shower, making it comfortable to enjoy the beauty of the bush. The meals were another highlight—delicious, hearty food cooked fresh for us each day.

Tony’s passion and knowledge of the wildlife and the parks truly made the safari exceptional. He shared fascinating insights and positioned the vehicle perfectly for photos and wildlife observation. Tony also has an incredible ability to find the animals we were hoping to see!

If you're considering a safari, we highly recommend Tony’s Mobile Safari. It was a memorable, seamless experience, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice! Communication was great from the booking process to the pick up from the Botswana border, it was a little weird to prepay the whole trip before we arrived, however everything went really smoothly.
