Some journeys stay with you forever. The places that take your breath away. The moments you never saw coming. The experiences that change the way you see the world.
At Mikaya Travels, we bring these moments to life through thoughtfully crafted, bespoke journeys that are as individual as you are.
We start by getting to know you - your passions, your travel style, your wish list and even those little details that make a journey special. Then, drawing on our destination knowledge, trusted local partnerships and a passion for discovery, we bring every element together to create something truly personal.
From choosing the right places to stay to uncovering exceptional experiences and taking care of the details in between, we make the complex feel effortless. Every journey is personally designed, carefully coordinated and shaped around the way you want to explore the world.
Because for us, it has never been about simply getting you from one place to another. It is about creating the moments, connections and stories that make you glad you went.
You imagine the possibilities. We make them extraordinary.
Some moments are too extraordinary to simply pass by. Our Art and Photographic Safaris invite you to slow down, look closer and capture the wild through your own creative lens.
Art in the Wild
Let the wilderness become your studio. From sketching elephants at a waterhole to painting the golden hues of an African sunrise, immerse yourself in nature through art. Guided by experienced artists, these safaris offer inspiration, creative exploration and the chance to develop your skills, whatever your level.
Through the Lens
Capture Africa’s extraordinary wildlife and landscapes alongside professional wildlife photographers. Learn to master light, composition and timing while anticipating those unforgettable moments in the wild. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced photographer, every safari offers fresh opportunities to tell your story through the lens.
More than a safari - a journey of creativity, discovery and connection, with memories to treasure and moments to capture.
Sashi made all the ground arrangements for our Okavango/Chobe/Vic Falls trip in late Sept/early October, with efficiency, precision and conscientiousness. Nothing fazes her. My flight to Jo’berg got messed up which made me arrive in Maun an hour later than my travelling partner. Absolutely no issues with ‘meet, greet and transport’ - all of that went so smoothly, including three lovely internal flights in bush aircraft. There was someone waiting for us at every point. We felt perfectly safe in her capable hands
She obviously has personal experience and/or contact with the Lodges/hotels she recommends and reserved for us. When the preferred hotel said they could give us only two nights and we needed three, because our return flights were already booked, she calmly found us a lovely alternate hotel for our last night, along the same stretch of river. All this, still in the high season for the area.
Thank you Sashi, for an amazing trip at an affordable price.

Just BRILLIANT! 100% customer satisfaction, and exceeded our expectations! Sashi' s understanding that theres no 'one size fits all' provided us with personalised itineraries and unique customised experiences tailored to our interests, needs & budget. Sashi's 'hands on' and 'one on one' approach with her clients made us feel like we were her ONLY clients or at least we were her favourite or best clients. She's extremely knowledgeable, honest, courteous, respectful and responsive... and a stickler for details!
She organised all our flights, accommodation, safaris and transfers.
Nothing was too much trouble for her, when we changed our itinerary midway and one phone call to Sashi was all it took! She was excellent in going out of her way to accommodate our requests.
She even planned a surprise birthday celebration for me on safari!
Thank you for providing us with a fantastic and memorable holiday, we will definitely use Mikaya Travels again!

Thank you, Mikaya Travels, for making our family trip to Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa a memorable experience. You not only planned the entire itinerary but also went over & above by chasing us up to ensure visa requirements & air travel to and from countries were finalised. You also helped in securing the 4WD vehicle, which was hard to find during peak period as well as our bookings in SA. We travelled over 4000 km, across 3 countries & many game parks, including transfers closer to the wet season, which required attention to detail. I must say you didn't skip a beat. The game parks you picked for us, including the experiences, were stunning. Sable Alley was out of this world & the others were not too far behind. Your personal experiences with all the places we stayed at & being able to introduce staff on a first name basis including mentioning names of chef's who worked there for the last so many years just gave it that personal touch that I don't think one will find anywhere else.
Thank you, Sashi!

My family and I decided to go on a trip to the Okavango and we weren't sure of what to do. Mikaya Travels was the best!
Sashi helped us with the itinerary, gave us advise on where to stop and sleep and nice activities to do with our 9 yr old daughter.
We loved all the places she recommended and everything was very well organised.
Thank you for everything Sashi!

We booked wildlife excursions through Mikaya Travels to visit the Delta in Botswana and the Busanga Plains in Zambia. Sashi was fantastic and organized everything to a “letter”. She was great with all the arrangements and we thoroughly enjoyed our 7 days in the bush both at Moremi Crossing and with Green Safaris. Sashi’s organization skills were to the point where we had very little to do once we go to our locations. I would recommend Mikaya travels any day.

I’d consider myself as a “friend of wildlife”. Seeing the wild African animals in their own habitat was on my bucket list. But I was totally lost about where and how to start a trip of 12 days. Sashi of Mikaya travels was introduced to me through a mutual friend. Well, she gave me some fantastic itinerary options. Being time poor, Sashi was able to curate a very efficient trip commencing in Okavango Delta in Botswana through to Busanga plains in Zambia. All very competitively priced, including internal flights for time efficiency. Our group of three, saw just about all of the animal species, although the wild doggies, eluded us despite the expert trackers. Let Sashi and the Mikaya team take care of your African adventure. I’ll be back again, soon!

If you are looking for a concierge travel agent, stop looking and call Mikaya Travels from Gaborone, Botswana. https://mikayatravels.com. My wife and I trusted them with an epic Africa tour. They handled the entire vacation without a hitch. Please allow me to explain the enormity of our itinerary. This is almost a 50-day Africa adventure spanning from Botswana, Zambia, Tanzania (mainland), and the island of Zanzibar. Details of the trip, 3 International Flights to the African continent, 5 regional flights, 3 Bush flights, 14 airport transfers, 2 road transfers, 4 International Road transfers, and 9 different lodges and hotels. We visited 5 national parks, and we were guided by the best guides in Botswana and Tanzania for 20 plus game drives. Mikaya travels were with us at every destination, every transfer, and every flight to make sure if everything was ok. Itinerary such as this can only be serviced by not only a seasoned concierge travel agent but also an agency with attention to detail. We truly appreciate the amazing planning, recommending the right lodges, the right hotel, and, most importantly, the right guides. African safari is not worth taking unless you have the right concierge travel agent guiding you every step of the way. There are similar names and websites. If you would like to know more about our itinerary, I recommend calling https://mikayatravels.com. Subash and Faith (Florida, U.S.A)
Sashi made our experience really great! We had some unfortunate events that made us change our plans last minute and Sashi readapted our trip very quickly making sure our experience was unforgettable! Highly recommended.

Jules & I had long dreamed of a trip to the Okavango Delta and on the occasion of our 60th birthdays, Sashi helps us make it a reality. Not only that, but she helped us turn it into a trip of a lifetime including the sights and history of Cape Town & Johannesburg, the majesty of Victoria Falls, a foot safari in Zambia and the most beautiful experiences watching baby elephants play in the Chobe river and lionesses washing their cubs after a water buffalo breakfast, enjoying sunset drinks in the middle of the remote Okavango and enjoying the incredible smiles and songs of our gorgeous African hosts. Sashi helped us design the whole trip from beginning to end, adapted it to our budget and exceeded our expectations at every step. To anyone considering a southern Africa safari experience I would highly recommend Sashi and her team.
