We are leaving in less than three weeks- excited and a bit nervous-. Can you all recommend the best guides to try to get at Selinda, Little Vurumbra and Little Mombo?

GeoffG

Selinda's best guide is Kanawe but I hear he is doing the walking trails now. Barberton or 'BB' as he is called would be my choice at the moment.

What days will you be at these camps. We'll be at Selinda and Mombo in 3 or so weeks as well.

Agree with Geoff. I had the good fortune of being private guided by Kanawe this past June. Exceptional induvidual.... he won't win any stand-up comedy awards, but, is a super guide!

As Geoff says, there's BB. If he is busy or on leave ..... there's OB and Mots (Motsamai). I have been guided by both and was pretty satisfied.

Little Vumbura - others can suggest. But, if you can be guided by Ras Mundu you will be very happy! (Ras is BB's older brother). Had been guided by him while he was at Kwando.

Enjoy

...thanks Hari. I forgot about Mots, very enthusiastic and OB as well. John (Afrigalah) & I were guided by OB at Kwando (lagoon camp) in 2005.

Yes, Geoff ..... Lagoon is where i know OB from, and we have fond memories of spending an entire afternoon with the female cheetah (the good hunter) and her sub-adult cubs!

If Mots is available at Selinda, go for him he has a personality!

I liked BB at Selinda. Don't know if Z is still at LV but he enjoyed staying out all day.

Thanks all for your suggestions. We got all our info today from TA. Getting very real!
Mistadobalina: We will be in Selinda September 26-29 then LV for three nights and then LM for two.

I have posted on the general thread about guiding in Botswana also just saw it! Can you reserve a guide and if so who do I reserve through?- TA Wilderness and when?- ahead of time or at the camp?

HariS

Yes, thru TA.

Bummer, we'll be there about a week before you in both Selinda and Mombo.

Don't hesitate to ask for night drives at Selinda if you would like to go out on them, walks too!!! I waasn't informed that they were available until the second or third day I was there (I was ill on arrival), and missed out on a couple of nights of night drives!!BB was great! Tease him about being a newlywed!! suzi
