Tony and his team offer the best experience
I've done two trips with Tony, and I can say that it's on the last trip where they shined the most. Weather is weather, and we had a couple days of very bad weather (very heavy rain) - and it's in these moments that you can either see the best or the worst from people.
Tony and his team worked miracles to make it easy for us and most of all enjoyable.
Tony loves what he does, knows the terrain so well (having done this since he was a kid), and always wants to "go see what we can see before it sees us" :)

10/10 recommend Tony Mobile Safari if you are planning a trip to Botswana!
Tony is so knowledgeable on the areas to go and knows exactly how to get you to see all of the amazing animals Botswana has to offer (lions, elephants, giraffes, hippos, hyenas, zebras) and so much more! Tony’s team goes above and beyond to make your experience wonderful. His crew sets up camp with comfortable beds/tents/toilets/showers. They make the most incredible home made food over the campfire for breakfast & dinner; and pack delicious lunches while you are out on your safari for the day. The entire team at Tony Mobile Safari’s makes you feel welcome and at home. My mom and I did an 11 day safari, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Fantastic wildlife experience without hustle
We had a fantastic time with Tony Mobile Safaris and we recommend this operator without hesitation. The guide, Jack, was very experienced and knowledgable, he knew how to track animals, genuinely wanted to show us as much as possible, knew about photography and how to park the car for the best possible lighting and pictures. Bongo and D, the team managing the camps and food were going out of their way to make things as comfortable as possible for us. The food was great, there were always vegetables and even dessert, incredible what one can do in such basic conditions.
The tour was very well organized and we had incredible wildlife sightings. Jack knew all the spots and tailored the game drives to us. The final excursion, the cruise on the Chobe river, highly exceeded our expectations - instead of bing put on a big loud party boat, which we expected, we used a tiny one owned by Tony and had a real game drive - Jack made sure we have time to see all the birds, crocs, hippos etc. that we came across.
The only wrinkle was communication before the safari - we would have liked the salespeople to be more active. We needed to ask for updates about our payments although they said they would let us know as soon as they receive the money. At one point we got a bit nervous, but in the end all worked out - trust these guys and enjoy your safari.

Amazing 7-Day Safari Experience with Tony Mobile Safari
We just returned from an unforgettable 7-day safari from Maun to Kasane with Tony Mobile Safari, and I can't recommend them enough! A friend who had traveled with Tony several times referred us, and I’m so glad we took their advice.
Our group of six was guided by Jack, who was nothing short of incredible. His experience in reading animal tracks led us to some of the most spectacular wildlife sightings. We saw a pride of lions hunting a buffalo, lions guarding a hunted elephant, and even a leopard hiding its prey in a tree! Thanks to Jack’s expertise, we were always the first vehicle at these magical moments, giving us a true "National Geographic" experience.
In addition to Jack Tony’s team included Ronald the chef, who cooked the delicious food, and two camp helpers who set the camp. The camp was well-organized, with one located just 70 meters from where elephants and buffalo came to drink water—an experience like no other! Despite the challenges of living in a mobile camp, being so close to nature and the wildlife was worth every moment.
The entire crew was friendly, attentive, and did everything they could to make our trip exceptional. If you're looking for an authentic safari with expert guides, delicious food, and excellent service, I highly recommend Tony Mobile Safari. It was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure!

6 unforgettable days
When searching for a tour in Botswana, our requirements were excellent reviews, an authentic experience and a local operator. We were very lucky to find Tony Mobile Safari and, in retrospective, are extremely satisfied and happy that we picked them. First of all, the price was great. It was that good that, if it were not for the reviews, i would be afraid it is a scam. The payment is also kinda tricky and up-front, but it all went smoothly. The communication with Tony was great, he was very happy to answer all my questions and he made things feel uncomplicated. He was even happy to organize for us tours with different companies (e.g. heli or mokoro).
The team we had was amazing. Disho was responsible for setting up the tents and the camp, and he did an amazing job. Our expectations were exceeded, and the whole camping experience was amazing. We have never felt so close to nature before. It might take some getting used to (e.g. hearing hyena sounds seemingly close to the tents while having dinner or elephants probably next to the tents while sleeping) and it might not be for everyone (hole-in-the-ground-style toilets, hot bucket showers or lack of sinks with mirrors for your beauty checks), but everything exceeded our expectations and we could not have enough of this. Thabo was our cook, and none of us will forget his food and his positivity. He had almost every day something different, always super tasty and in huge quantities. Food was definitely another aspect where our expectations were exceeded by far. We often joked about how he made us all fatter these 6 days. Last but not least, our guide was the amazing Mabuta (Jack). His humor, his knowledge, his driving skills and his tracking abilities are unmatched. He was very happy to accommodate our requests, he respected nature in every way he could, he was appreciative of how we let him do what he does best and trusted him and we did not stop having fun, but without this ever becoming too much or exhausting. We had a really amazing time with all the guys and feel lucky to have experienced this safari with them.
Now about the tour itself, what can i write. We saw the beautiful Okavango delta (did the 45 min heli tour and the mokoro boat ride), we saw leopards (plural) on trees, lions chilling, lions cuddling, lions eating a giraffe, so many elephants in all possible distances and even saw wild dogs hunting twice, which was a real natgeo experience, simply unbelievable. The parks we visited were Moremi, Savuti and Chobe riverside. The safari ended with a 3 hour boat ride in Chobe river, which was also full of crocodile, hippo and elephant sightings. Having done multiple other safari tours, i would definitely put this at the top together with Serengeti. The density of animals might be smaller, but there is a different uniqueness, a feeling of more raw contact to nature (because of the number of tourists but also the camping style) and a great team who can guarantee nothing but the best.
Mabuta, Thabo, Disho and Tony, we thank you for everything, you gave us a lifetime experience that we will never forget. This group of people is one of the most no-brainer recommendations i can give from my travels. We wish you all the best,
Thomas, Poly, Giacomo and Apo

The time of our lives
My 3 friends and I took an incredible week long safari with Tony Mobile Safari’s from Kasane, through Chobe, Savuti and Moremi. It was without a doubt the best safari, holiday and adventure I have had. Tony provided us with memories and stories that will last a life time. The Botswana bush is one of the most magical places I have ever been. Tony made sure that we had up close and personal accounts with the lions, cheetahs, leopards, wild dogs, hyenas, elephant’s, giraffes and a stunning array of birds.
The camp sites were set and packed up so efficiently and were more luxurious then I had imagined, bush camping is truly the way to see Botswana. Every night we enjoyed our dinner and chatted sitting comfortably beneath the stars and listening to the animals around us. We felt so spoiled to have Tony cook for us every day and the food was honestly so delicious. Because Tony is a local he is an encyclopaedia of knowledge on the land and animals and has a special relationship with both that enhances the safari experience beyond words. Tony is a highly skilled guide, very professional and attentive to the needs of his clients but also such a happy, fun guy and well respected guy who we shared a lot of laughs with on our trip. The whole trip was enchanting and I didn’t want it to end, I thought about running away from my day job and joining Tony Mobile Safaris.
