Speaking of pictures, this trip is a must for every nature photographer! No need to book a photo trip! Kristin, Dirk and Moronga make it possible to get perfect shots of the animals on the safari tours. With plenty of time to observe, you get to know the animals' way of life. Moronga and Dirk inform us about the animals and fauna. The safaris are educational and fun. Elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, crocodiles, hippos, zebras, giraffes, impalas, kudus, hyenas, jackals, wildebeests, antelopes, spring hares, ostriches, yellow and red-billed tocos, mongooses..... we can't list everything we've seen. We are always amazed that so many animals can survive in this arid region. It's not just the wildlife that is beautiful. The barren landscape in the savannah looks just as great as the Moremi Game Reserve, which is flooded with water.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-5113-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-5113-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-5113-3-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"5\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>Africa had been on our itinerary for a long time. Five years ago we wanted to book our trip and then came Corona. Today we are happy to have ended up with Kristin and Dirk by chance. It was worth the long wait.   <\/p>\n<p>This trip was unbelievably great. We booked an adventure vacation and that's what we got. <\/p>\n<p>We were looked after perfectly from our arrival at the airport to our departure. Our hotel room (tent) was large, spacious, clean and always nicely prepared. The food, which Partner and Kelly conjured up under the simplest of conditions, was delicious. The crew spoiled the guests. They showed us the African zest for life with their songs and dances. When we think about it, we automatically have to smile.     <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-5113-3-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-5113-3-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"6\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-8b5b6f678277-5113\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t\t<img \n\tsrc=\"https:\/\/moments-botswana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Birds-720x480.jpg\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moments-botswana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Birds-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/moments-botswana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Birds-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/moments-botswana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Birds-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/moments-botswana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Birds-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/moments-botswana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Birds-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/moments-botswana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Birds.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" alt=\"\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image\"\/>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-5113-4\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-5113-4-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-5113-4-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"7\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-8b5b6f678277-5113\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t\t<img \n\tsrc=\"https:\/\/moments-botswana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Elephants-720x480.jpg\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moments-botswana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Elephants-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/moments-botswana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Elephants-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/moments-botswana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Elephants-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/moments-botswana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Elephants-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/moments-botswana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Elephants-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/moments-botswana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Elephants.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" alt=\"\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image\"\/>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-5113-4-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-5113-4-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"8\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>LB our waiter read our wishes from our eyes. There were two tubs of chilled drinks on the bar. For everyone what they wanted. Surprisingly, the bar and the laid table were in unexpected places. Coming up with these ideas and implementing them in this way is fantastic. We're not allowed to give them away, experience it for yourself and you'll understand us.     <\/p>\n<p>The crew work in the background and take care of everything you can't see. At five o'clock in the morning, they are already whirling around to make the day as pleasant as possible for their guests.

For us, he is the best tracker in the world. Our drives in the private concessions were not just on the sandy paths. We followed tracks or animals through the middle of the bush. Suddenly there are ten sleeping or feeding lions in front of us, the leopards on or under the tree or even the two cheetahs. We are always amazed at how he found the animals.     <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Thank you Morongo for these special experiences with you!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-5113-5-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-5113-5-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"10\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-8b5b6f678277-5113\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t\t<img \n\tsrc=\"https:\/\/moments-botswana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Sundowner-720x480.jpg\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moments-botswana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Sundowner-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/moments-botswana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Sundowner-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/moments-botswana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Sundowner-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/moments-botswana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Sundowner-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/moments-botswana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Sundowner-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/moments-botswana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Sundowner.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" alt=\"\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image\"\/>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-5113-6\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-5113-6-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-5113-6-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"11\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-8b5b6f678277-5113\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t\t<img \n\tsrc=\"https:\/\/moments-botswana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Leopard-720x480.jpg\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moments-botswana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Leopard-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/moments-botswana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Leopard-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/moments-botswana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Leopard-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/moments-botswana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Leopard-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/moments-botswana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Leopard-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/moments-botswana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Leopard.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" alt=\"\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image\"\/>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-5113-6-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-5113-6-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"12\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>There is so much to tell.
