CHANGES FOR 2025!!

​We have altered our standard safari to now start and end in Maun. We offer options for extensions to Chobe and Victoria Falls. Please contact us for more information.
       
                     
We bring decades of combined guiding experience to our specialized wildlife expeditions that we lead in Botswana. Our safaris make use of only private camp sites throughout the wilderness areas and our dedicated crew, ensure a level of comfort and service to make your stay with us an unforgettable one. We cater to most special dietary requirements. Most of our expeditions are conducted using specially designed 4 x 4 vehicles to optimize your wildlife experience and your photography so that you return home with great memories and a better understanding of nature.


Your safari is your journey, an investment in a quest for knowledge and understanding of a sometimes forgotten world. Our time together entails the sharing of ideas, philosophies and our experience in one of Africa’s last great wilderness areas. Many people choose to return to Botswana with us. The wildlife behavior and light scenarios are so dynamic that no two safaris are the same and even we as guides have new experiences daily.
"We are committed to providing highly memorable safaris that are safe, fun and educational. Our primary goal is to share the unique beauty of this exquisite part of the world with those who are looking for the true African experience. Africa is a continent like no other and should be visited at least once in your lifetime. A Safari to Africa will enlighten you in many ways and have you longing to come back time and again."
‘For almost 25 years I have been taking groups of artists and photographers out to Botswana on safari with the Elephant Trails Safari Company, which is owned by the well known naturalist and professional tour guide Guy Symons. The group sizes have ranged in size from six to nineteen individuals and from ten days to three weeks in duration…and on every single occasion, we have had a fantastic time.
From arrival at Maun airport until the time we return (often from Victoria Falls), we are looked after to the highest degree. The four wheel drive vehicles are comfortable and allow maximum visibility, the food is always excellent, the guides are superb and the game viewing is unparalleled. 
Should you wish to visit Botswana, I would without hesitation recommend booking a trip with the Elephant Trails Safari Company’.
