Knowledge + Service = WOW!
5/5

Rex and the great folks from Kalahari Tours coordinated tours of Chobe National Park & River for 4 days for our group of 12. Every single person was very experienced and knowledgeable. Most had been with the company for years, were very personable, and knew all the best secrets and tips to locating the animals. They were easy to understand, funny, and great smiles. They seemed to truly love guiding us.

Every jeep was stocked with all sorts of cold beverages to keep us hydrated and happy. After a morning expedition on our day tour of the park, we dined on a delicious spread of foods and beverages in a picnic area. The tables were covered with colorful African material, and the buffet food line was mouth watering. Martha Stewart would have been envious!

Our experience was delightful from start to finish. Trust Kalahari - they know how to do it right!

Once in a Lifetime ~ AMAZING! INCREDIBLE! MESMERIZING!
5/5

AMAZING! INCREDIBLE! MESMERIZING!

While I'm sure any safari in Chobe would have been a once-in-a-lifetime experience, it absolutely exceeded my dreams. I attribute this to our guide, Leo, who made the entire trip unforgettable. Even though we visited during the off-season, the park was quieter, which actually made the experience even more enjoyable. The knowledge Leo shared with us truly set this experience apart from any others. He is, for sure, an animal whisperer. We had friends on separate safaris in Chobe at the same time, and they didn’t have nearly the experience we did.

The wildlife, of course, was spectacular. We were lucky enough to see tons of baby animals during the off-season, which made it extra special during this time of year. Leo was great at tracking all the animals. We even saw the lion king roar as he woke up for the night.

Camping was very comfortable. The food was great, and there was even a hot shower! Jacob and MP treated us very well back at camp with hot meals and anything we needed.

I highly recommend camping, even if you're not usually a fan. Being able to stay right in the park means you don’t have to leave early, like you do with a day trip, and you get to experience things you wouldn’t otherwise, like hearing the actual Lion King's roar as he wakes up for the night! It was an experience I’ll never forget. I could go on and on about the wildlife, but you'll have to see for yourself when you do a safari with [insert safari company name here].

I’ve done two other safaris but nothing compares to this one. If you are going to Chobe...make sure you go with Leo/ Kalahari Tours, Kasane, Botswana!

Great Camping Experience
5/5

The 3 days/2 nights camping trip to Chobe NP was perfectly organized, from start to finish (including formalities at the border, pick-up from hotel in Zambia, drop off in Zimbabwe, etc.)
All vital information was provided beforehand, including a list of what to pack/wear. Our guide Sam went out of his way to make it the best experience for everyone, and he gladly shared his incredible knowledge of the animals and nature. He was fun, but at the same time very professional when it came to safety and respecting and protecting the wildlife. Also Bernard, the camp's chef and Amos, the camp's host, took great care of everything and everyone. The campsite is unfenced, and of course basic for that matter, but has everything you need and would expect in such an amazing setting, surrounded by nature. All in all excellent value for money and an absolute recommendation. I'd go again anytime!

Handled our travel chaos well
5/5

We had a bit of travel chaos, with a child falling ill. It was handled very graciously and compassionately by Kalahari Tours. I’d definitely recommend them.

Fantastic experience of all Chobe has to offer
5/5

Kalahari Tour's provide an amazing service.
From arranging your pick up to the actual game drives (and Chobe river views), the experience is awesome. Friendly, highly knowledgeable guides will share their passion for all Chobe's wildlife, and answer all your questions too. Their experience will find for you the very best opportunities to view the dense and diverse game available. Every trip has been memorable.
There's a reason I've chosen Kalahari now over 4 different years, they're the best!
That includes their overnight camping package, a truly wonderful experience you should not miss!

A Fantastic, not to be missed experience
5/5

Kalahari deliver a fantastic experience in Botswanas beautiful Chobe National Park.
They are easy and friendly to book with and go above and beyond so you have the best possible experience wherever you start your trip from. The guides are also friendly and very knowledgeable, making sure you see the widest possible range of animals, from up close elephants herds passing to watching lions feast on their kill. This really is the realities of life? The abundance of wildlife they make sure you see is stunning.

If you anywhere in this region, (near Victoria Falls for example?) you will be amazed by you time with Kalahari Tours.

Gee is a friendly, interesting guide that made our tour fun, informative and most exciting.
5/5

Every one of the individuals from Kalahari tours made us feel comfortable and welcomed. The boat tour guide, (Six) was careful to make sure we felt safe and everyone understood the importance of procedures as it related to safety. Six was very informative, friendly and fun. Our Safari guide Gee was also careful to point out necessary safety precautions. He was also very knowledgeable and took time to point out the smallest creatures. During the course of our 3 day 3 night with the team, we made new friends with the staff and other participants. The food was fantastic, the accommodations were comfortable and the trip was a great success. I highly recommend Kalahari tours
