Mosu Safari Tours Review

Botswana's government has a policy of "high cost, low volume" tourism, so even smaller trips like guided tours into the Delta on traditional Mukoro canoes can get pricey. The highest price we saw for such a tour was 1200 pula per person per day ($680 USD for our trip). Eventually we found Mosu Safari Tours which hooked us up for less than a quarter of that - which was very reasonable when split two ways.

Prompt, curious, diligent, friendly, Oliver Cromwell Madibela (owner and operator of Muso Safari Tours) was the man. He set us up right, gave us a good honest price and went the extra mile to serve us. When a fellow traveler from Korea was disappointed by his trip in the delta, Oliver gave him an extra day for free. Oliver even gave me beer and ferried me in and around Maun for writing this review. What a stand-up gentleman.

My Aunt Jane should be so proud as it was her idea to monotize the blog. This is my first form of remuneration for blogging. My integrity even remains intact since everything here is the truth.

  2. Ya that's Oliver. The dude in the hat was named Joe - a student from Germany studying in South Africa.
