Incredible experience that exceeded my expectations! From the beginning organization and planning was excellent. We had some special requests for the meals, since my wife doesn't eat meat, and they were able to accommodate us nicely. The guys were friendly and hard working. The guide was knowledgeable and a good driver (we saw plenty of self-drive people stuck in the sand). As far as camping goes, it was quite posh. They set up everything for you, cook you excellent meals, and even give you warm water to wash up in the morning, and an opportunity to shower (camp shower). Much nicer than I expected. We saw solo many animals! Here's a list: Hippo Lion Leopard Elephant Hyenas Giraffe Gnu Impala Kudu Mongoose Black back jackal Wild dogs Water buck Water monitor lizard Steenbock Zebra Crocodile Sable Birds Red billed horn bill Lilac breasted sholla Copper tailed cuca Guinea fowl Crowned clover African fish eagle Stork Grey Lorry (go away bird) Marabú stork Ibis And those are just the ones we wrote down. Beware the days are very hot, but the nights get very cold, so bring warm clothes also. Blankets were provided, so we managed. One unavoidable thing was there was a lot of driving on rough roads, and we were pretty worn out from that. Overall amazing experience!Me and 2 friends met BG for the most amazing adventure in the chobe safari. From the start we felt BG's warm hospitality and kindness.

I came with my teenage son. We were well taken care of in everyday possible. Our guide managed to find a wide range of animals to see. He is very informative. His team made us feel very comfortable with hot showers in the middle of the bush. Warm and comfortable bedding and a convenient toilet. Catering to our dietary preferences. They even arranged for my son and the team to join a football game on the camp in the safari.
