Our 2 days trip with the guide Shadow in the Khwai Community Concession, bordering Moremi, went beyond expectations. He is a very professional and competent guide. He found many animals including Lions, hyenas, hippos... and much more in only 2 days. We had so much fun with him. He knows a great deal of stories and he is very knowledgable about wildife and nature, in addition to being a skilful driver. Absolutely amazing experience!
