5/5

To Succeed Your Photo Safari in Botswana One Solution:
Get Tony and his team.
This is already the second time and each time the number of big cats is unbelievable.
Always in the right place at the right time for a photographer it's pure happiness.
The camp is still located in the heart of the park very comfortable with these new tents.
Thank you Tony for your kindness and your good mood as well as your professionalism.
Highly recommended

5/5

The entire experience was amazing and way above expectations. He has great staff and they Baby Sit very well!!! Tony as a safari driver is great. While we felt at a loss in the beginning, it was more of a "fear of the unknown".

5/5

The experience we had at Chobe was amazing. My family came to visit me and they were overwhelmed by the beauty of the park, the organization of the camp and the patience and kindness of Tony and all his staff. Tony was our guide during the all safari, he has a huge passion for his work and a great respect for nature and animals. It was my second time at Chobe with Tony and I had the confirmation that he is always the best choice! Thanks a lot Tony & Staff for this amazing adventure!

Tony is the most knowledgable guide and affable human being.
5/5

Tony Mobile Safari is owned and operated by Tony Ntalamo, not by a company outside of Botswana that the majority of the profits go to. So if this floats your boat, it is one major reason to choose Tony Mobile Safari. The bonus is that Tony is the most knowledgable guide. I recognized this and it was reinforced by my overhearing another guide say this to his clients. My first night there was a couple who were only with us for that one night. They were on their last day of their safari and joined us. They had one of Tony's guides he trained for their main tour and said he was the best they every had. Tony is a guide to the guides! I spent 26 days with Tony and his crew. They are fun and always accommodating. Tony was the best tracker. He was always the first to find the big cats as well as the small ones. One late afternoon game drive, Tony reversed course when he smelled where the cape buffalo had migrated to and we took a look at the 500+ herd. Earlier that day we observed five lions. Tony knew the lions would also have smelled the buffalo. The next morning Tony took us to the buffalo and we witnessed five lions kill their prey. Not a common thing to see an actual kill, but it was Tony's skillfulness, and of course luck, that we were able to witness this amazing event. I have so many stories to tell! This was my fourth safari, my first with Tony. He was the most responsive to my inquires. You have to wait sometimes as he is in the bush without internet. I thought it would be my last safari. I am going back and will chose Tony Mobile Safari again.

Reliable and professional
5/5

It was the best safari of my life. The team ensured maximum comfort during our camping stay, so that we didn't feel we needed anything. Every day the cook prepared delicious dishes and even baked bread and pies. It was amazing how possible it was in the savannah. Tony showed us as much of what could be seen from the life of wild animals. We got very close to the animals and it was safe. Highly recommend this team for organizing your safari.

Unforgettable Safari Experience!
5/5

I spent 5 weeks traveling through 7 African countries, and I can honestly say my favorite experience was my 6 day Botswana safari with Tony Mobile Safaris. I just loved my time with this company. We were a small group, just four people, there to enjoy bush camping, wildlife, and photography. Tony was a great guide - friendly, funny, and very informative. You can tell that he is passionate about African wildlife, which is extremely valuable in a guide. Tony also enjoys photography, which was perfect because he understands the importance of getting out early in the morning and being out for sunset for the good light. Plus, he also understands how to get us the best photographic angles. Even if you're not interested in photography, you will want to be out for sunrise because that is when the lions hunt! And Tony will make that happen. The safari definitely is 'mobile' - you will see so much! In six days we explored Savuti, Chobe, both the Okavango Delta and Okavango River, enjoyed canoeing and boating, saw countless lions, hippos, zebras, elephants, etc. Tony even went above and beyond during our boat tour. Our boat tour was delayed, so not only did Tony work quickly to get us moving, he also gave us a private pre-boat tour while we waited! Furthermore, our campsite was also nicely prepared for us and each time we returned to camp there was an assortment of snacks, coffee and tea waiting for us. They even prepared high tea for us. They also did a wonderful job of preparing vegetarian meals for the two vegetarians in our group. I would highly recommend Tony Mobile Safaris and I would love to safari with them again!

rip off
1/5

To be clear: the rating is for the tour operator only. Botswana is a fantastic country for Safaris, just don't go with this gangster. He made me pay for 7 days but the tour turned out only to last for 5 and a half. The time spent on all our game drives combined during this time was less than that of serious companies on a single day.

Great Experience with Tony
4/5

We ended up with Tony Mobile Safari only because the other safari provider could not accommodate our dates. We has some concerns initially, but within half an hour of meeting Tony, I felt pretty much at ease. No regrets whatsoever! And for the rest of our time with Tony and his team, we felt safe and they took good care of us. Tony has good tracking skills, and can spot the animals from far away. He's a real easy going guy, and patiently tells you all about the different animals, and answer all your questions. The camp situation is pretty basic, but we were comfortable. Thanks Tony!

Great camping safari
5/5

I did a 5 day camping safari and had an amazing trip! We spent our time split between Savuti and Chobe. Both places were amazing, but Savuti was the best for seeing lions. The other animals were also more densely populated in Savuti.
I had Vincent as my guide and Eddy as the cook. Both were very friendly and knowledgeable. Vincent knew both areas extremely well and was good at identifying all the animals. He was also good about communicating with other safari drivers to find out where the animals were.
The tents were roomy and the bedrolls very comfy. The food wasn't fancy, but very tasty with sufficient amounts. I'd go again with these guys in a heartbeat, and have already recommended them to friends. Tony is a guy you can trust. Whatever he said I would get on the trip, was provided.
