Savuti Tickets and Tours

11 Days Safari Tour In Botswana

Awesome Botswana Adventure

I had a wonderful trip and adventure. The guides and staff of Walking Stick Travels and Tours went above and beyond to make the trip incredible. I'm glad I chose to take a guided mobil tented safari option as opposed staying in lodges because we were submersed in nature. Camping in Botswana is not for the faint of heart but the staff really took care of me, from navigating rough roads and setting up the tent in record time, to making tasty meals. I had the experience of a life time and took amazing photos to prove it.

4 Days 3 Nights Camping Safari at Savute

Extraordinary wildlife and scenery in comfort in the hands of the very experienced Rodgers Sibanda.

We wanted to spend a few days in Botswana in addition to South Africa, found very few options that would let us see both Chobe and Okavango. Gemini suggested a couple of tented safaris, and I reached out to Rodgers. He was very helpful, and we closed the deal on a 5 day/4 night tour from Victoria Falls pickup to Maun dropoff. We spent the first day on the Chobe river, second morning game driving the river (saw a lion pride ambush a herd of impala) then off to Savuti. Two nights in Savuti with lots of game drives, then drove to the outskirts of the Okavango. It was just the five of us - Rodgers doesn't form groups from unconnected travelers. I really didn't know what to expect, here's some observations: - Experience is key, Rodgers has done it all and we were never stressed about the animals, mechanicals, etc. - The tents are very comfortable - we were worried about the bathroom situation, but it was all good (no smells, enough water to shower, etc) - I had to wire the money to Par Excellence Investments, which I was a little worried about as it didn't sound like Wild Africa Safaris, but Rodgers has a couple of other businesses, so this was fine - Roads are pretty bad, so things that seem like they should take a couple of hours will take much longer (6-7 hours) - Chobe was awesome, I would spend more time on the river front game driving. Okavango was nice for the canoe ride, but landscapes and game seemed better in Savuti and Chobe river. - Finally, just trust Rodgers, he knows best, and you can rely on his choices. It seemed expensive, but once we saw what we got, I feel it was more than worth it. We had a great time in South Africa (Greater Kruger) but Botswana was next-level, and a lot of that was Rodgers. We can't wait to tour with him again.

A Dream Trip of a Lifetime

Majestic lions, leopards and cheetahs, lumbering elephants and snorting hippos, as well as gorgeous and fascinating giraffes, meerkats, zebras, wildebeest, oryx, warthogs, kudu, cape buffalo, water bucks and impala galore – oh my! Just when you think things cannot get better, add in many, many beautiful birds. With over 40% of the land dedicated to parkland, Botswana is a gem of a count Our three-week mobile camping safari with Walking Stick Tours was a dream trip of a lifetime with so much thanks to: • Phillimon, who planned our seamless adventure from the pans through the Kalahari Desert, to various locations in the Okavango Delta, and into Chobe National Park, booking fabulous camping spots, amazing experiences on land and waterways, and a dream team of a guide / driver, chef, and camp manager. • OT our amazing, deeply knowledgeable guide, driver and mechanic who shared his love of his country and culture with us, who was able to spot so many animals that we would have missed and knew exactly where to search for the elusive ones, transported us safely along bumpy roads, through deep sand and water, and knew his way along all roads and tracks in these vast parks. • Election our incredibly positive, welcoming, skilled chef who could work miracles over a campfire creating delicious, nutritious and filling meals and homemade breads and cakes. Being on safari for as long as we were, we also appreciated the advance planning that went into gathering supplies and setting up a refrigerator / freezer in the support vehicle. We were constantly in awe! As well, being on such a remote trip, Election’s skills as a mechanic also came in handy as he assisted OT in the maintenance of our vehicles. • Richman our amazing camp manager who did everything else needed to make our camping experience as comfortable as possible from setting up tents, eating areas and campfires to providing us with warm water for washing and our outdoor shower, and assisting Election in the outdoor kitchen and with anything mechanical. Richman had a way of noticing whenever anything needed doing and immediately attending to the needs of everyone in camp. His lovely, positive, welcoming and hard-working ways were appreciated every day. • Tebogo our lovely, knowledgeable mokoro poler and walking safari guide while in the waterways and camping on an island in the delta who introduced us to the beauty and life of the Okavango region, and shared his love of his part of the this beautiful country. We were touched by these local men who helped us explore and begin to understand the history, culture, and everyday life of beautiful Botswana. They have been the very best ambassadors for your country and for Walking Stick Tours. After three weeks together, we consider them good friends.
