Maun Tours and Trips

If you're looking for a safari holiday where you'll see a diverse range of wildlife, look no further. Titus is a great guide and wildlife spotter and what he found for us didn't disappoint - from lions crossing a river, wild dogs "playing" with hippos to many bird species. The accommodation is as expected for a camping trip. The food exceeded our expectations as did the lodge in Victoria Falls. Its not on the itinerary, but make sure you visit the vulture feeding at the Victoria Falls Wildlife Lodge on the last day - its free and an experience not to be missed.

Having lived in E. Africa and done many safaris over the years this trip is the cherry on the cake. 4 leopards and a cub and painted dogs were a highlight. Incredible team with Brian at the helm with incredible knowledge and patients. The best food produced by Brighton. And great teamwork from Timoth and Moetie. A truely memorable trip. Just Thank you!

Fantastic holiday with great company. Our guide, our hosts and most of all the animals lived up to and far exceeded any expectations. Our guide, KK, is worthy of a special mention. He was hugely knowledgeable about every bird and animal we encountered, he had the patience of a saint and quietly and calmly sorted out every problem we encountered, allaying any fears from the group along the way. He knew exactly where to find the animals and how to get the best views, often arriving on the scene before any other vehicles, and being the one to allay the news across the park of unique sightings. He made our holiday.

I loved this trip. Our guide KK was excellent, calm, knowledgeable, patient and kind. Botswana is a truly beautiful country with friendly people. Of all the wildlife tours I have done this was the best. The trip notes were a little brief on the accommodation and lack of power availability (i am being generous here)! I believe it is always best to be upfront about what explorers are letting themselves in for so that they can prepare properly. I would love to do another tour to Botswana, same guide, something else!

I had a fabulous time in Botswana, my holiday exceeded my expectations. I was amazed how close we got to the animals and birds and how many we saw. They were relaxed and weren't bothered by us. Our tour leader, KK, was great and looked after us so well. He is very knowledgeable and was great at spotting the wildlife and answered all our questions. There were many long drives some over bumpy, sandy tracks particularly in Chobe and tarmac roads excellently navigated by KK's safe driving. We were well looked after by lovely staff at our various accommodations. I was happy with the food generally and particularly the variety while we were camping where the food was cooked on an option fire. We drove through Namibia for a few hours and had to pay the equivalent of 80 Euro for visas which were introduced earlier in the year. I think Explore should consider changing the tour to avoid this extra cost. Also the itinerary notes need updating, the camp drop toilets are not 'water based', they use sand. One area was referred to being wet / marsh but it dried up over 10 years ago. One of the people on our tour is passing on more details but your tours leaders can advise you.

This was my first safari, and the holiday exceeded my expectations. Our guide Phenyo shared his exceptional knowledge and love of wildlife and Botswana with us. His local knowledge and a touch of being in the right place at the right time gave us many opportunities to see amazing wildlife in their natural surroundings. Many many, highlights; getting close to the leopard and lions, watching the elephants crossing the river, the enormous herd of buffalo, giraffes, zebras, impalas, numerous varieties of birds. The list goes on. Thank you to Phenyo and the people of Botswana for sharing this with us.
