Brilliant! Assuming most people take a trip to Botswana to see and experience the amazing wildlife in the bush and along the incredible Chobe River, Pangolin safaris has set up a fantastic business that will no doubt grow in popularity. Travelers to Africa of course will take a camera or two hoping to take home a brag-worthy shot. However, only... More

Found Pangolin online and boy was I not disappointed. The quality of the staff (thanks Guts, Killer and Chapman) was just outstanding and perhaps the friendliest people I found in Kasane (and that is saying a lot). The setup is fantastic on both the river cruise and the game drive (Unimog rules) with only eight people aboard and unobstructive views... More

I would like to highly recommend Pangolin Photo Safari in Kasane, Botswana. The cameras, the boat, the truck, were all top notch and first rate. Our guide, "Guts" was personable, funny, and informative. Our drivers Chapman and "Killer," from the local village, were expert in positioning our boat and truck for the best photos. And the photos! What a great... More

The crew at Pangolin have done an excellent job of enabling novice and expert photographers alike to take great wildlife photographs. Whether you have your own gear, or want to use the topnotch Nikon/Sigma gear supplied by Pangolin, the setup of the boats and safari vehicle is perfect for wildlife photography. "Guts" custom designed the swivel chairs/camera mounts on the... More

You cannot say you have travelled Africa until you have done a sunset cruise on the Chobe River; and doing it with a prossional outfit like Pangolin Photo Safaris makes it even more memorable. Everytime I go through Kasane I do a photo safari with them and see new things! Guts knows his stuff and helps you predict what the... More

This has been without a doubt the best experience we had in Africa! The concept is really the best solution for the problem all tourist seem to have....not getting close enough and ending up with a tiny dot in the picture which supposed to be an elephant. The boat tour was an amazing experience.....with crocs,hippo's, elephants, monkey's,birds all around us,... More

We have just spent the weekend with Pangolin Photo Safaris in Kasane. Being avid photographers and lovers of the outdoors we cannot commend "Guts", part owner and safari leader of Pangolin Photo Safaris, enough for his professionalism and enthusiasm in sharing with us many fantastic sightings on the river. His knowledge of photography and insightful instruction whilst photographing was invaluable.... More

Having travelled pretty extensively must say that this is one of the best ways to safari.. most of the animals make their way down to the river on a hot day like it was the day we went so your best bet is to literally be at water's edge. The amazingly huge lenses on the camera's supplied on the boats,... More

Kasane wasn't on the top of my list of places to travel until a friend told me how amazing it was. Botswana is one of the best run African countries and has a strong government. The Chobe has the largest amount of African game, is the 3rd largest park in the country and the most diverse. The town of Kasane... More

my wife and I have been on several safaris in and around botswana and south africa and found Pangolin to be a breath of fresh air. Their approach is different - they assume you have done all the crowded vehicle stuff before - they just want to make you take awesome photos with top class equipment on a boat in... More
