We had a wonderful experience. I couldn't have asked more. My guide Steve was very knowledgeable about Moremi Game Reserve. He taught me a lot of animals, trees, the Delta. He was always explaining how everything work. Mr Boitumelo is a true professional. He answered all the questions I had while organizing my trip. He has a great attention to details and was very precise. My tent was very comfortable and all the meals delicious. I couldn't recommend more Outdoor African Safari Tours and I can't wait to go back to a safari with them.

Had a great trip on the mokoro with a local guide called Elijah arranged through Kalahari Breeze. Great communication and planning from Chris and team to help us prepare (eg timings, what to bring etc). Was about 1 hour drive from the hotel to the village. At the village we were met by Elijah to go on the mokoro. On the way out (upstream) the mokoro ride was about 1.5 hours with a few hippo sightings along the way. It’s completely exposed so make sure bring sunscreen / long sleeves! Once we arrived at the island we did a walking safari / hike for about 3 hours. It was quite long in the brutal heat but well worth it as Elijah was able to show us elephants, giraffe and wildebeest - all from afar but still much more than we were expecting. We then had a quick lunch prepared by Chris and team and set off back to the village on the mokoro. The way back was quicker as downstream and just as well after a long day. We got back by about 3:30pm. Overall a great day out and way to experience the Okavango delta. Highly recommend!

As vegan travellers we are always hyper aware when booking trips as to what the hotel or tour operator is able to offer us in the way of food. Saying that they can provide good vegan fare, and actually living up to that statement can be worlds apart. We are very used to being undercatered for, or given measly portions of fruit or unimaginative salad whilst others are tucking into hearty meals. When Chris proclaimed that Kalahari Breeze can cater for any special dietary requirements it was certainly a bold statement to make. We were excited for a safari that would cater for us, and so we set off hopeful but none the less still dubious as to what exactly we would be served. Well, as it turned out, we were treated to feast after feast. Every thought was made right from delicious vegan snack bars for the pole ride, to decadent meals at the camp. We enjoyed a range of tasty meals from stuffed gems squashes, to a braai with so many sides I could barely eat them all. For breakfast we started with a creamy porridge which was followed up by an entire 'English breakfast' with vegan sausages, mushrooms, smoky sweet potatoes amongst other items, including ciabbata with fig jam! I mean come on, it was literally better than most the restaurant breakfasts and WE WERE IN THE OKAVANGO DELTA! Am I overselling this company on their ability to cater delicious food for vegan's and other specific diets? Not at all. We were literally blown away! Chris's company also practices sustainable tourism, which is a philosophy of ethical travel that really speaks to us as a couple. When you meet Chris, you will instantly get an understanding of what this means to him as a person and Kalahari Breeze. From ensuring the best treatment of those whom they work with (the polers from Bolo) to creating as minimal impact on the environment. Everything that they take in (including tents, beds, camping toilets, shower bags and a whole lot of food) all comes out again and the earth is left as if no one had been there at all. At times, we wanted to get a little closer to the animals we had the pleasure of seeing. Our tour guide, Isaac, who is an expert in all things flora and fauna, kept us back and reminded us that we are in the the territory of wild animals, and not only for our own safety but to also respect and preserve the environment as a wild and space for these animals. As a tour operator that runs on foundations of respect, experience and careful planning I cannot recommend them enough!

Depending on the water level, you will board the boat near Audi Camp at 7am and head along the Boro channel on a motor boat to Boro Mokoro Station where you will be met by your Poler for the day. The mokoro is ideally suited as transport in the delta as you will move quietly through shallow waters.
