  As keen photographers, we wanted an early sunrise pick-up so we could look for and track down cats. We contacted Savannah Adventures and were pleased to find out they offer this tour. They instantly responded to our request, and the pick-up was right on time with a clean, comfortable van. We saw all the cats we hoped for, and the entire experience was absolutely exquisite. I strongly recommend them!

• Savannah Adventures’ early morning leopard trekking safari in Chobe National Park is not to be missed!

  Our early morning leopard trekking in Chobe National park was one of the highlights of our trip. So glad Savannah Adventures offers this tour! We still can’t believe how close the leopard was to us! Perfect way to start your day & then enjoy the land & river safaris . Definitely worth getting up early for!!

  I really don’t get the negative review about this tour — we did the exact same early morning safari with Savannah Adventures, and it was absolutely brilliant! We joined because it starts before sunrise, just like it says, to catch the big cats when they’re active — and we did! We saw lions and even a leopard, which was the absolute highlight of our trip. That’s exactly what we came for — the cats, not a buffet. Breakfast came after the leopard sighting, exactly as described — a simple, light breakfast which was perfect after such an incredible morning. Everything was clearly communicated, and the focus was on what really matters: wildlife, adventure, and being out there when nature awakens. Massive heads-up to Eddy, Matt, and the whole Savannah Adventures team — you and your guides do a great job. Some people are just impossible to satisfy, no matter how well things are done. For us, it was real, raw Africa at its best — authentic, honest, and unforgettable. Keep doing what you do; for true safari lovers, this is exactly how it should be!

• $550AUD each for Biscuits and a Clunky Jeep. False Advertising at Its Finest.

  Do not waste your money on this so-called “Chobe Sunrise Leopard and Lion Safari Trekking.” Honestly, it felt like a complete scam. I paid $550 AUD and got nothing close to what was advertised. First off — there was nothing “sunrise” about it. By the time we actually got to the park, the sun was already blazing. The itinerary promised a magical first-light drive during prime hunting hours. What we got was full daylight and a very standard safari. The “light bush breakfast”? A couple ginger snap biscuits. That’s it. Not even enough for a toddler just weaned off soft foods. We spent the whole morning hungry and cranky. If I’d known, I’d have packed my own food or, better yet, booked with another company. And don’t get me started on the vehicle. It was ancient. No side mirrors, no working speedo, no fuel gauge, nothing on the dash worked. It clunked so loudly a leopard could’ve heard us from Victoria Falls and bolted. As for the “exclusive leopard and lion trekking,” that was a joke. When we found lions, there were at least 20 other safari vehicles parked around them. Same with the leopard. You’d see the exact same thing on a standard full-day Chobe safari — for half the price and double the time. The only saving graces were Eddie, our pick-up driver (absolute gem), and our safari guide, who genuinely went above and beyond to find us a leopard. For that, I’ll give one star. Everything else? A rip-off. Save your money and book a regular Chobe safari instead.
