5.00We had a fantastic half-day safari with Southern Wild Travel and Tours in Chobe National Park, including both the game drive and the boat cruise on the Chobe River. From start to finish, the service was excellent. Communication was clear and timely, everything ran exactly according to schedule, and the team was very considerate and professional. The guides were knowledgeable and made sure we had the best possible wildlife viewing experience, both on land and on the river. Overall, Southern Wild Travel and Tours delivered outstanding service, respected our time, and made the experience truly enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Chobe National Park! You can trust Mr Mwangelwa Mubita

5.00We absolutely had a great Safari experience, both the game drive and cruise were fantastic. Hotel pick up and drop off by Vincent was on time and the Zambia - Botswana transfers were smooth. We saw a variety of animals up close with the highlight of the day being seeing a number of lions which are difficult to see in so many Safari drives! Buffet lunch at Mowana Safari Resort was delicious and it brought back good memories of our stay there in 2016! Great Safari cruise, with unlimited supply of drinks and the guides were knowledgeable, passionate and friendly making the experience more enjoyable. Mwangelwa and Southern Wild Tours & Travel team are simply the best. Their communication is clear & timely, activity charge way cheaper compared to the one offered by the hotel, they are friendly, courteous and professional. Highly recommend!!
Chobe Day Trip to remember

5.00Our Chobe Day Trip was well organised by Southern Wild Travel and Tours. The hotel pick-up at 7:00 a.m. was punctual, and the Botswana-side partners were professional and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the entire experience, including a good game drive, a delicious buffet lunch at Mowana Safari Resort and Spa, and a river safari where we saw many hippos and crocodiles. We also appreciated the stop to view and photograph the Kazungula Bridge. Mwangelwa and Southern Wild Travel and Tours delivered a great Chobe experience.
Absolutely phenomenal experience with Mwangelwa and Southern Wild Travel!

5.00From start to finish, everything about my Chobe day trip was seamless and unforgettable. Mwangelwa personally guided me through the entire border crossing process, making what could have been complicated feel effortless. He shared so much knowledge during our drives to and from the park—answering every question with patience, warmth, and genuine passion for the region. The coordination with his counterpart, Moses, on the Botswana side was flawless. The Chobe River cruise and game drive were truly dream experiences—breathtaking wildlife, incredible scenery, and smooth logistics the entire way. It was a pleasure organizing everything with Mwangelwa with Southern Wild Travel, and I can’t wait to visit again. I’ll absolutely be recommending Mwangelwa and his team to everyone I know looking for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure in this part of Africa.
‘Wait for the magic’

5.00An unforgettable day trip! Victoria Falls was absolutely stunning and speaks for itself with your eyes and feelings—truly a wonder of the world. Crossing into Botswana was another highlight, where we could see four countries from the bridge. The safari began with a land game drive, and as our guide said, “wait for the magic”—and he was right! Over ten elephants crossed right in front of us, an experience we'll never forget. We were also lucky to see giraffes, lions, hippos up close, and more. Lunch at a beautiful hotel offered plenty of delicious options before we set off on a river cruise. Seeing animals from the water, especially a swimming elephant right beside us, was incredible. We were a group of 20 visiting Zambia for a wedding, and Mwangelwa and his colleague were amazing—helpful, attentive, and went above and beyond. Highly recommend them and this trip!
Fantastic experience

Mr. Mwangelwa Mubita is the contact person who organised all my activities in Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana. He is very professional, knowledgeable and helpful young man who made my holiday in the region unforgettable. With Southern Wild Travel and Tours you are in safe hands and they truly do their best to make your experience memorable.
