Bush Baby Calls Safari Adventures is a citizen-owned mobile safari company based in Maun - the gateway to the Okavango Delta. We have been running authentic, comfort-forward mobile safaris across northern Botswana since 2012, and in that time we have learned something important: the guests who come back, and the ones who send their friends, are the ones who felt safe, comfortable, and genuinely looked after from the first message to the last game drive.
That is what we build every safari around.
Mogakolodi Serumola - known to his guests as MG - has spent 13 years learning the Okavango Delta and Moremi Game Reserve with the kind of focus that only comes from genuine passion.
Plan your safariHe knows where the wild dogs denned last July. He knows which channel to take at dawn when the papyrus is still with mist and the birds are only just beginning. He knows when to stay still and let the wildlife approach, and when a five-minute detour on a game drive will put guests in front of something they will describe to their grandchildren.
MG founded Bush Baby Calls in August 2012 with a single conviction: that every guest, regardless of budget, deserves a real bed, a real meal, and a guide who treats their safari as if it were his own. Fourteen years and hundreds of guests later, that conviction has not changed.
"When guests arrive in Maun, they have often been travelling for 20 hours. They are tired, they are excited, and they are placing an enormous amount of trust in someone they have only spoken to by email. My job starts before they get off the plane. It starts with how quickly I respond to their first message, how clear I am about what to expect, and how certain I make them feel that they are in safe, experienced hands. The safari is the easy part. I have been doing this for 13 years. The hard part is making sure every guest feels that confidence from the very first contact."
Bush Baby Calls guests come from Germany, Spain, France, the Netherlands, the UK, and Australia. Many are booking their first African safari. Many have researched for months. When they finally book, they are not just buying a package - they are placing their trust in an operator they will not meet until they arrive in Maun.
Trust is built through consistency and clarity at every stage – from responding to enquiries within two hours to offering transparent pricing with no hidden surprises. Guests deal directly with MG, not a booking agent, and experience a level of care and safety that is reflected in consistently exceptional reviews.
