We are a very-well traveled family of four (I have been to over 60 countries) and this was our first trip to Africa and my dream, milestone birthday, trip, that I have been saving for and dreaming of for literally decades. I spoke to over two dozen travel experts before deciding that Anton and his team at Lelobu were going to be the perfect team to help make my African dreams come true. No detail was too large or too small. Anton and his team were professional, responsive, prompt, and always looking out for my family’s best interests. When an issue arose towards the end of the trip, they immediately rectified it. We left for a boat safari and by the time we returned and I had WiFi again, everything was taken care of. Using a Botswana-based travel expert is absolutely the way to go. They know the best places and get the best deals. Additionally, they have staff in South Africa and I used them to plan the Cape Town portion of our trip. Anton, Joshua, Rebecca, and the whole team were always available and treated us with upmost respect and professionalism. Every client is their most important client and you can’t go wrong with Lelobu. We are based in US and I’m not sure when we’ll ever be able to come back to Africa, but if that golden opportunity arises, I’ll be reaching out to this team again. HIGHLY recommend!

Mobile camps
When it comes to safari there are "mobile camps" – semi-permanent fixtures that move once or twice per season – and then there are mobile camps, real campsites that are struck and move with your group expedition style. We think the second type is closer to what real safari is all about. You won't get any fancy bells and whistles like an on-site pool or restaurant, but you will get a private Meru-style canvass tent with private bush shower/toilet, and your own cook to prepare three excellent meals per day. Most of all you'll get to be right among the thick of the action, not removed from it behind a veneer of luxury.
Our camps are all in exclusive BOGA (Botswana Guides Association) campgrounds, not public sites, giving you exclusivity and authenticity at the same time.

What people are saying about Lelobu Safaris

Joshua from Lelobu was so incredibly helpful and patient with all my many questions while planning our safari in Botswana. And it was incredible!! All 9 of us, 7 adults & 2 young children, had an amazing time. Everything was just fantastic! We saw so many animals, many up close. The 2 campsites we stayed in were so beautiful , we heard wild animals during the night. Our guide, Master, was the best!! He was so kind, calm & knowledgeable about everything in the bush. The camp staff & cook, MG, were also incredible! We had delicious food served every day & night. I highly recommend Lelobu!!

We used Lelobu Safaris in Maun, for our Okavango Delta and Moremi Game Reserve in Feb, it was great to have local knowledge and they gave us a mokoro trip in one of the only areas that it was still possible.
