PAT RAN Safaris is a 100% citizen owned tour operator business, currently based in Botswana’s tourism capital Maun.
It was started 2015 by the Managing director Patrick Rancholo (Mr), and fully licensed in 2017 by the Department of tourism, in Ghanzi Botswana.
PAT RAN Safaris has two tourism enterprise licenses, being the Mobile Safari (License C) and its subsidiary business P.R Destinations operating with a (License D).
For the license C:
• We provided tented accommodation and game drives in protected areas (National Parks and Game Reserves) to our clients in private mobile safari tents, by a professional guide. There is a team, that leave earlier to set up camp, and clients find camp already setup. There is 3 course meals prepared by our professional chef and a camp hand who make up beds every morning and clean tents. Here clients, have the chance to enjoy the open shower, watching the stars. The warm water is offered in a 10l bucket with a shower rose. The toilet, is the pit that is dug 1 meter deep and a frame to seat on and flushing with fire ashes.
• We do lodge to lodge safaris. This is a safari for those who don’t prefer camping, but staying in lodges, but still want to be guided by a single guide through. Clients stay in a lodge for sometimes, and then road transfer to another camp until we finish the trip. This is much better than flying between camps, as you have ample time to associate with either locals or take a long game drive between lodges.
P.R Destinations (License D):
This is a subsidiary business that is operating license D, as a travel agency. Here:
• We do bookings for our clients, who fly in and stay at lodges across SADC countries. We do meet and greet at the airport, to receive our clients and send them to their connecting flights, for smooth transition at airport.
• We also plan and develop travel packages for all potential guests. Packages would cover different locations, countries, to offer travelers ample choice.
• We do Campsites booking for self-drivers. Clients who prefer self-driving, are booked campsites way before their trip. With our expertise, we book our clients the best campsites, and advise clients on best routes to take, advising on borders documents requested, fuel prices, weather conditions, vegetables availability to avoid delays once they have arrived.
