5-Day Moremi Hippo Tented Safari

excellent safari experience

We were able to organize this from Australia with minimal fuss. David was quick to respond and was able to accomodate our preferences. Our Guide Ookedisae did an excellent job of tracking the game and we saw a great variety of animals each day. Highlights were seeing a wild dog hunt, a leopard and her cub plus lots and lots of lions. The hippos come very close to camp at night and we even had honey badgers visit!! The mokoro ride was magical and our polers were very entertaining. We were also very spoilt by having Oonah as our cook and Bats-man as his offsider. The food was delicious and I was astounded by what these guys could prepare, including fresh bread daily. We had such a wonderful time and felt very blessed to have such a magic team looking after us. Our tent was spacious and ensuited (!) and the beds were comfy. All in all, a brilliant experience. We would highly recommend this.

Well organised, amazing safari guide called Jame!

We took the 5 night 6 day safari from Maun to Kasane via Khwai, Savuti and Chobe NPs. We were a group of 4. We spent 2 nights in a tent in Khwai and 2 in Savuti. Then the last night in Water Lily Lodge, Kasane. The tents were large and the private toilet, a blessing! Plus the shower. The camp staff, Dix and Barcelona, were very attentive and efficient, addressing all our needs and more, even with a 'turn down' service. Machine, our chef, was amazing, taking into account the limitations of cooking in the bush over a fire! The food was varied and plentiful. The campsites were to ourselves and magical, Khwai was next to a river and Savuti in the bush. Our guide, Jame (pronounced Jammie) was the absolute best! He is called Leopard Man for good reason and he did not disappoint. We saw everything we could've hoped for and more. Everyday we were blessed with more amazing sightings of magnificent animals and wildlife scenes. From the leopards in Khwai to the lions of Savuti. Jame's knowledge of the entire area is really impressive and he reads animal movement well, getting us into position for the animal to appear. He is extremely patient too, at times allowing us to be the only jeep in that area, waiting for the sighting. David, who I communicated with to organise our last minute trip, was very responsive and helpful. All in all, a magical trip with many memories made and a fabulous way to travel from Maun to Kasane. Thank you the Travel Creation Botswana team!

Jame was personable, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to help make the trip great.

The tour was a unique and great experience. Jamie ensured that we saw as many animals as possible. The accommodation was as described and we felt we looked after. The only negative is that we were supposed to have two nights camping and two nights accommodation in a lodge - however this was changed last minute to three nights camping and one night in the lodge with no adjustment to the cost. This was not detrimental to the trip but this was poor communication as it was a last minute change. Overall would recommend the company and ask for Jame as your guide!

Travel Creations is very efficient and flexible, willing to adjust their tour to your requirements

Jammie is an excellent and knowledgeable guide, taking us to the most amazing spots. We saw a large variety of game, including several sightings of all the big cats - no wonder they call him Leopard Man! Jammie loves the bush and his job and the drives with him were amazing. We enjoyed long drives through the bush with huge trees and abundant bird and animal life. Jammie adjusts the daily excursions to meet his clients' needs. Machine, Election and Jomo are a mean team who very efficiently set up and break camp, ensuring that everything is perfect. We had a hot shower waiting when we came back to camp in the evening after long day in the bush. We were then treated to a delicious 3 course meal, mostly including a fresh mixed salad, and some wine next to the fire. Plans for the next day's excursions were discussed around the fire. In the morning there was hot water in a bush basin outside our tent, and we sat down to a hot breakfast with fresh toast. Machine bakes the most delicious bread over the coals. Coffee and tea were provided on our drive and we would stop for lunch in a shady spot under some magnificent giant tree. You guessed it! Our lunches were delicious! There was a minor mechanical problem with our vehicle on one of our drives which Jammie fixed temporarily and then repaired back at camp in the evening. We were able to charge our devices in the camp. There is limited Wi-Fi and cell phone reception in the bush. I can highly recommend Travel Creations and Jammie, Machine, Election and Jomo. They are a winning combination! We definitely got excellent value for our money and were so privileged to have such a wonderful 5-star tour.
