A trip in 2012, (camping in Moremi)I had 4 guests & 2 staff members: 
We were seated around the table, with me positioned at the center corner so I could see all the guests. The guests were facing each other.
At around 8:00 PM (Botswana time), just after we had finished dinner, a large elephant suddenly appeared and came straight toward the table. Everyone saw it and panicked, wanting to run away. I calmly said, “Please remain seated.”
As soon as I said that, the elephant was right at the table. It stretched its trunk, searching for leftovers. Its tusks were on both sides of two of the guests. If anyone had stretched out their hand, they could have touched its body, tusks, or trunk.
We all remained silent.
One of the staff members asked if he should hit it with firewood, but I said no. I explained that if he did, the elephant might feel threatened and try to defend itself.
After realizing there was no food left, the elephant left peacefully and disappeared into the bush. – by Obitseng Modise

“My wife and I spent seven extraordinary days in Botswana with Obi as our guide. We began our journey in Maun and spent two days in the Moremi Game Reserve before entering Chobe National Park for the next five days, camping under canvas with a camp crew expertly led by Obi. Obi guided us expertly and safely along trails that were at times very challenging. He was constantly attentive to our needs and considerate in every situation. Above all, he shared his deep passion for wildlife with us—whether it was mammals, birds, reptiles, or plants: he is a passionate walking encyclopedia! His extensive knowledge of animal behavior allows him to take us right up close to the animals in complete safety; he is also intimately familiar with their gathering spots, enabling him to offer routes away from the crowds—so we very rarely found ourselves part of a cluster of vehicles. In short, if you are looking for a varied naturalist experience immersed in the wild, Obi is the perfect guide. A big thank you Obi. ”

Pioneer Safaris Tours was established in 2017 in Maun, Botswana. It was founded by two men who loved the bush, flora, and fauna. We have explored different parts of the world, and our mission is to take you into the wilderness for an authentic African experience with Pioneer Safari Tours, where you can enjoy and learn bush skills. Both founders of Pioneer Safari Tours hold relevant skills and certifications for the job, such as photography and guiding.
