11 Days and 10 Nights Private Northern Explorer Tour

Unforgettable Botswana Safari: From Maun to Kasane in mobile camp! An unforgettable experience, far from the crowds of mass tourism! We spent 8 nights on a mobile camping safari from Maun to Kasane with Wild for Game Safaris, owned by Lucas Shupo. Sleeping in tents in unfenced campsites deep in the wild heart of Botswana, surrounded by the night sounds of the bush—with lions roaring, elephants trumpeting, and hyenas laughing—was truly thrilling. We crossed the diverse ecosystems of the Okavango, from the rich wildlife of the Moremi Game Reserve to the wetlands of the Khwai Concession and the more arid landscapes of Savuti. Every single day brought spectacular sightings: leopards, cheetahs, lions, elephants, hyenas, and African wild dogs. The team was really professional and exceeded all our expectations: • Our Guide, Owen: Extremely knowledgeable, professional, and passionate. He knew how to read every single track on the ground and always positioned the vehicle perfectly for photographing and observing the animals, while always ensuring our safety and sharing fascinating insights about the ecosystem. • The Chef, Mr. P, and the Food: Outstanding quality. It is unbelievable how the chef managed to prepare such high-quality meals using only a campfire. From fresh bread, muffins, and cakes baked daily in a bush oven to exquisite dinners under the stars, the food exceeded every expectation. • The Camp Staff, Empty and Chack: Incredibly hardworking, attentive, and warm. They anticipated our every need always with a smile, making us feel completely looked after in the middle of nowhere. Thanks to Lucas for the flawless logistical organization: the camp was efficiently moved and set up while we were out on safari for the entire day. Great attention was paid to cleanliness and details. Our Meru-style tents, featuring real and comfortable beds, were meticulously prepared with fresh linens every two days. Returning from a game drive to find a spotless tent, fresh towels, and a hot bucket shower was pure comfort. If you are looking for a unique experience, this mobile safari offers the perfect balance between adventure and modern comfort. You are completely immersed in the wild African nature, but with lodge-quality service, excellent hygiene, and outstanding hospitality. Highly recommended to anyone who loves pristine nature!

Wild for Game Safaris was an awesome choice! Our guide Chris made sure we saw every animal on our list & was very knowledgeable in answering all of our questions regarding the wildlife,plants and country in general. MD our chef made 5 star meals with desserts that were out of this world, Matu always greeted us with a smile & provided excellent meal service and last but not least McDonald made sure we had all the comforts of home from our turndown service to wake up calls,hot water bottles in our bed at night! A Mobile tent safari is the only way to experience Africa! We heard lions,hippos,elephants & hyenas at night which was magical! Absolutely amazing experience. Already planning to go back again. I would recommend Lucas & Wild For Game to anyone wanting the ultimate safari experience.

Lucas’ adventure from the punctual border meeting point in Zimbabwe to Maun was truly remarkable. Beyond wildlife tracking and sightings, we highly recommend the mobile tented camps experience. Travel in a super-equipped and comfortable land cruiser, feeling like you’re at home in cosy tents with everything prepared. Musa, the chef, baked daily bread and muffins in an aluminium box over charcoal – a real treat! We’re incredibly grateful for this dream family adventure. Sharing this trip with our local hosts was so enriching. Don’t hesitate, contact Lucas and book your adventure, you would only regret not going

Thank you Wild for Game Safaris, my son (Tom) & I had the most wonderful time. The team that looked after us, Owen (Guide), Mr P (Chef), 2 Meter & Festus (Camp Hand) are the best. So much I could say, but in summary: Owen's expertise as a guide was extraordinary, his ability to track and ceaseless energy to find wildlife is without boundaries. We were interested to see everything from the smallest dwarf mongoose & birds to the large cats, and we saw it all. Mr P ensured I returned to Australia a couple of kilos heavier. Preparing warm porridge and homemade bread for breakfast, 2 course lunch and 3 course dinner every day was something to look forward to. Always with a smile and passion to please. 2 Meter and Festus, ensured every detail was delivered to the maximum, their pride shone through when daily greeting us with warm hand towels and a drink, supplying warm water for showers and hand basins, hot water bottles in our beds, as well when required getting dirty to repair vehicle issues. The crew worked together with ease and seamlessly without effort. We chose to do a Private Safari and camp to maximize the experience, we were not disappointed. In my view this is the only way to achieve the best experience, the flexibility and freedom in the Safari vehicle to have a personal rhythm and schedule to explore as you choose is paramount. Wild for Game Safaris vehicle is perfectly set up to ensure comfort and photography logistics. During the 11 days we spent approximately 95 hours in the vehicle with Owen searching for and watching wildlife. We saw everything from the small critters like Dwarf Mongoose & Birds, General Game, and the all the sort after Cats - Lion, Cheeta & Leopard. Again, thank you Wild for Game Safaris, and the team that looked after us. We have started saving our pennies to plan for a future return to Africa.

After the tour in the fall, it was another sensational safari tour from Maun via Moremi, Khwai, and Savuti to Kasane. Our guide Lucas impresses with his enormous expertise about the wildlife and beyond. Gladly again anytime

Exceptional trip. Thanks to Bibi, we have seen countless animals and places of exceptional beauty. The three-day safari was organized very well. The camp in the savanna, with a private tent for the two of us, was very comfortable. Exceptional meals, cooked directly over the fire and very well-prepared. We can only recommend it.

Know that type of vacation you can't stop thinking about and never want to let go of? The kind you want to hold close to your heart for all eternity? My Northern Exposure 11-day Safari with Wild For Game Safaris was that kind of trip. Everything was superlative, from the amazingly knowledgeable guide (really a highly-trained naturalist) to the excellent food and care we received at camp to the final drop off for the journey home. As for the wildlife, we saw more mammals than I even expected to find in Botswana and a most wonderful plus were the 130 species of birds we saw. Miles upon miles of elephants, lions playing and mating, zebras galore and so much more. I am already planning my next trip to Botswana with WFG Safaris.

Absolutely superb trip. I had been on 3 other safaris before in Tanzania and South Africa . This trip was the stand out one for me. Mobile safari is an immersive experience. You are embedded with the wildlife for the whole duration. Amazing sounds at night and wonderful night sky. I loved the camaraderie of the guests ( 2 other friends) and another couple who we gelled with. Lucas ( owner and guide) is superbly knowledgeable and is a skilled guide. Many guides just follow intelligence gathered on CB radios but Lucas is the “real deal”. Tracked down a male lion, 2 superb leopard sightings that we would have completely missed. We saw so much. . 185 species of birds, 4 Lion sightings, 3 leopard sightings. Witnessed a leopard killing an antelope and another one consuming its kill. Painted dogs experience was great too. None of this would not been possible without Lucas and his patience. You have to wait and observe rather than drive around frantically. He embraces the slow safari and it works. The tents were good with private outdoor en suite with camping shower. Food was fantastic - Musa the cook did a brilliant job baking bread, cakes and our meals on a mobile camping oven! If you are a keen wildlife person- value the 6am starts to capture the “golden hour” and like watching/ photographing wildlife this is the tour for you. You won’t forget it! Superb sunrises/ sunsets and a safari experience you will never forget. Lucas is highly professional and dedicated. Decent kit and well maintained vehicles. Very attentive and high level of communication and English . Would definitely recommend!

The best safari experiences our family ever had. We didn’t expect so professional team, so good experience from first day when Lucas come and greet us at airport Till last day when Max left us on day we go back from our trip. Botswana have a lot to ofer, wild life landscapes culture, everywhere our guide Max took us was something amazing to see he was so good at wild animals tracking. Our family will always recommend Lucas company, actually we already decide to go again. Tailored safaris are really good as our family could enjoy all experience as it was only us in car no others expect our Guide, who do everything to make us amazed all team make atmosphere like in family it was rally extraordinary. 11 days is perfect for this kind of safari, we enjoy it very much, with all professional way Lucas team take care of us was amazing, obviously not everyone can enjoy it as you need to sleep in tents take shower in nature but for us it was one of the most amazing experience in our life, In our opinion price was much better then travel companies for experience Lucas give us, and after all the way from Maun to Kasane Lucas book us very comfortable Lodge for us to enjoy rest of ours stay. Our Guide Max stay with us till end as well he went with us to Victoria falls which was very nice and professional. Wild for games safari will always be in our hearts, and we can’t wait to go with them again.

The 4 of us enjoyed Wild for Game’s 15 day mobile safari though the Okavango taking in Moremi, Kwai, Savuti, Chobe Riverfront and Victoria Falls. It was such a varied and exciting trip through Northern Botswana, made special by our guide Lucas Tshupo and the warmth and humour of his team. Lucas, the owner of the Wild for Game company, is a Batswana as is the team, so all your money stays in country, a key factor for us. Lucas must be THE top guide in Botswana, so extensive and deep is his knowledge. His ability to see animals and birds while driving through the bush is uncanny and enriched our experience beyond measure: the leopard visible only by its head briefly silhouetted at the base of a termite mound; the twitch of a bat-eared fox’s ear above tall grasses; the mark of a snake in the sand by the track, none of which we’d have seen without Lucas. A keen naturalist and photographer himself, Lucas would always attempt to position our vehicle to provide us with the best angle for a picture or to sit and experience a herd of elephant moving slowly down to water. Well-thumbed reference books were always by his side for us to look at or to help us identify an animal, a bird, a reptile or a plant. Immensely respectful of the wildlife and the environment, or his fellow guides, Lucas never crowded an animal and was always alert to a threat or the needs of other groups approaching. We were never rushed, Lucas preferring to drift along a road and always with time to sit, switch off the engine and listen, taking in sights, sounds and smells. Our tents beds and facilities were very comfortable. A mobile safari involves erecting all the tents and breaking camp every 3 nights to move to the next place. The camp staff, Musa, Twometres and Madu, were superb, each with well-defined roles, welcoming, warm and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We ate extremely well: just how Musa turns out a souffle on a camp stove defies belief, but he did. A 5.30am wake-up brought warm water for a quick wash before breakfast, hot porridge, juice, fruit, tea, coffee, all before piling into the Landcruiser for the morning game drive. Lunch in camp or as a picnic when on the move and evening dinner was different but delicious every day. Drinks by the evening campfire listening to bullfrogs, hippos and owls, a hyena in the distance, was just so relaxing after a hard day watching lions bringing cubs down to drink, elephants, buffalo, antelope of every stripe, carmine bee-eaters, whatever. It was hot – up to 40C – but there was always shade in camp and the afternoon/evening game drive started as it cooled when wildlife began to move again. Night falls swiftly in Botswana, dark shortly after 6.30pm, but the sunsets (and sunrises) were spectacular. A couple of night-drives revealed spring hares, honey badgers, a hyena cooling in water and uniquely, a Genet cat hunting and catching a rodent, Exciting! Ours was a simply wondrous experience to linger long in the memory and to share with family and friends for ever. If you want to see Botswana, Wild for Game should be absolutely the first safari company you look at. We would wholeheartedly recommend Lucas and his team without reservation for the trip of a lifetime!
