We ( 2 couples, we were 15 times on safari's) were 12 days with Eddy and it was a great time. He has been in Botswana for 21 years and his knowledge is exceptional, where everybody goes right he goes left, for he "knows" what the animals are doing. For example: we saw a leopard ( one of the three this journey) other cars go into the bush in Savuti, we turn around and go to an open spot and after a while she walks towards us and we where right in front. His wife Monu is a great cook and Easy and Tumello, who helped, are fine guys. Tumello will be a great cook too.
Some things we did. A nice walk with the Meerkat. You walk for an hour or so with them and you can see perfect how they dig for food and give the first things to the little ones.
Had also a walk with the San people. They told us how they used the bush for food and medicines. Very interesting.
In Deception Valley we saw big herds of oryx and springbok. And a lot of bat-eared foxes. Great. Our last night we heard the lions roar and footprints around the camp. After 5 minutes on the road there were 5 lions with full bellies, when they walked further a lion kill of an oryx was there with an other 5 lions.
In Nxai Pan stood we walked between the famous Baines Baobabs. Not so many animals.
Then a long day to Khwai River. In those 3 days we took almost 1000 pictures. It was a super spot. The first evening 2 leopards. The next day wild dogs, mating lions and all kinds of birds.
The last place was Savuti. Here was the high light the herd of 150 elephants coming to drink and play in the pools.
To do a mobile safari has the advantage that you camp where the animals are, you are part of nature. The tents are very comfortable.
For us was the fact that Eddy speaks Dutch a great extra.
