Fantastic company, ethical and honest. - Fantastic locally owned company. Phillimon and his team took the best care of us and we were treated like royalty. Actually, more like treasured family. Food was great and Phillimon's skills as a tracker and guide meant that we had some incredible sightings. I highly recommend Walking Stick Safaris!!!!

In the heart of the bush - We just wanted to say a big thank you to all at Walking Stick Travel Tours for arranging such an incredible trip into the interior of the northern Botswana game reserves. We spent nine nights in three different camping locations and were well looked after by Phillimon (who did an enormous amount of skilful driving) and Wago (who was the bird species expert). Both of them spotted things well ahead of us. They were supported by a second vehicle that carried all the equipment. Prince the chef was amazing and we had wonderful meals three times a day. KB and Comfort were always on hand to help and also provided the water (hot or cold) for refreshing showers at the end of each day. After this part of the trip we went onto some lodges, obviously with the luxury of air conditioning etc, but we all considered our time on the mobile safari to be the highlight of our trip to Southern Africa because it puts you at the heart of a wildlife experience. Unlike those that come from lodges each day, we were already there, so we had an immediate advantage in spotting things from the moment the sun was up. Even during the nights we could often hear the roar of lions or hippos or the distant sound of frogs in the wetter areas. The beds were comfortable and the tents perfectly safe at night so long as you followed the guides advice. A tent is seen as a barrier and “no go” area to the wildlife that seems to accept a level of human presence. We always felt safe in camp and when out during the day. Phillimon and Wago were great company. They went out of their way to follow and find amazing scenes of wildlife in the African bush, from beautiful birds to wild dogs, leopards, lions and elephants, you name it, we saw it all. For those who like to have all their creature comforts at all times, this trip is perhaps not for you, but anyone who wants to experience the real atmosphere of the African bush, its landscape and to see nature at work, you can’t beat this immersion into the heart of it all. By moving to different camps you experienced subtle changes in climate, so from areas of water to semi arid, almost desert environments. As a result you can see at first hand the challenges and adaptations nature seems to resolve. This trip will live with us forever. Many thanks again from Peter, Rosemary & Jane.

Amazing 10 days mobile tent safari in the bush - The tour has been very well organized, it was really an amazing experience. Comfortable tent, excellent food, very professional driver and guide. Thanks a lot to Philimon for the organization of the full tour, to Dylos for guiding and driving our safari (i will never forget the leopard on a three with his killed impala) , to Titous for the meals (the fresh baked bread and cakes in the bush is fantastic) and to Keys for the support (the organization of the camp, the hot shower, the cleaning etc..) . We will never forget such experience and we recommend walking stick as a professional and reliable tour operator. With Walking Stick You can stay in the middle of the bush just under the stars and fill safe hearing wildlife and birds.
