Wonderful trip, saw so many animals!
We had a wonderful trip with Isa and his staff in July 2025. We did a 12 day mobile safari from Maun to Victoria Falls. We also added two optional activities (meerkat/atv tour and boat ride in chobe NP).
In the booking process, Isa is extremely responsive to all inquiries, he writes back very quickly! He is also able to adjust to your requests- my fiance needed wifi access to check his work email during the trip, and Isa let us use his starlink so we could have access even at remote campsites.
The trip was wonderful. Isa is very good at locating animals- we were often the first ones at a sighting. We felt extremely lucky to have him as our guide. He is very knowledgeable about all the animals, and even can you tell you lots of the individual animal’s stories. Throughout the trip, we saw lions, cheetahs, leopards, wild dogs, and many more animals!
The camp was comfy, the tent was very large. The food was wonderful!
We are so glad we chose this company!!

Helpful and trustworthy
From the very beginning of the planning process, communication with Isa was smooth and easy. He was always responsive and helpful, even as I dove into detailed research and asked plenty of questions. He remained flexible throughout, willing to adjust plans based on my preferences and needs.
What stood out the most was how fairly priced everything was—no hidden costs or surprises, just transparent and honest service.
If you’re someone who has specific preferences or needs a customized trip, I highly recommend reaching out to Isa. He will work with you to make sure everything is just right.

Isa was friendly, funny, and incredibly professional, making the experience both informative and fun
This safari was a truly magical experience that I would recommend to everyone. Over five days we were immersed in adventure, excitement, and endless fun. We encountered an incredible variety of wildlife, including countless bird species that Isa, our guide, knew everything about. We were lucky enough to see three different lion prides one of all females with cubs that Isa had witnessed being born! We also saw elephants, giraffes, zebras, African wild dogs, hyenas, and even animals I’d never heard of before. This was an unforgettable journey that everyone should experience at least once!

Amazing Experience Highly Recommend
We did a 5 day mobile safari and it was absolutely amazing. We were picked up by our guide, Isa, for the trip and started right off the bat on the way to the campsite. The 2 campsites were great for both practicality and scenery. The staff at the campsite was amazing and totally attentive to every need. Food that was served was top notch.
The game drives each day were more than we expected. Isa’s knowledge of the animals and terrain was top notch, knowing where and when to go to certain places of the parks.
I can’t recommend this company enough to anyone looking to do a mobile safari throughout Botswana. The people and everything else are top notch and again I would recommend them a thousand times over.

Adept
Best overall value for our first Safari, I highly recommend Extremely Wild Safari because they are trustworthy, reliable and made planning easy.
Our safari experience with Eisaa was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we started, it was clear that Eisaa’s knowledge of wildlife and the environment was unparalleled. He could answer any question we had, no matter how detailed, and his passion for nature was truly inspiring.
Eisaa made learning about the animals and their surroundings engaging and enjoyable. His adventurous spirit and sense of humor made the trip even more fun, and he got along wonderfully with everyone in the group. He went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable, helping with anything we needed along the way.
For our first safari, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Eisaa’s dedication and enthusiasm turned it into a fantastic and unforgettable experience. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional safari adventure.
Perfect relaxed and complete day on the Okavango with Extremely Wild Safaris!
Sia and his colleagues are very friendly and make your trip with the Mokoro on the Okavango unforgettable! The communication with Isa went smooth and easily. We could book a safari with him last minute and he made sure everything went like we wanted. We met the day before to prepare the trip, discuss the lunch we wanted, pickup time and what the day would look like. We were fully prepared.
The day itself was so relaxed and peaceful and beyond expectations. The delta is beautiful and you slide along the calm and peaceful water with a mokoro (traditional canoe). You go for a walking safari and have lunch in the beautiful nature, overlooking the hippo’s grazing and bathing (in our case). You return back with the mokoro and then the driver brings you back to the lodge. We didn’t have to worry about anything during the whole day, everything was perfectly planned out for us!

Best camping safari possible!
Isa is an incredible guide who runs his safaris extremely well. Camping truly is the best way to experience the bush, and his team takes care of every aspect--from meeting us at the airport, getting us across borders, setting up/taking down camp, to making sure we were well-fed and had unlimited beverages. Isa's talent at finding the various animals is a true gift, and he always positioned the truck close to them and at the best possible angles for taking photos. We always felt very safe--Isa's motto is "I have a plan, with another plan". He knew which animals could potentially get aggressive, and never put us in a place that could harm us or the animals. Every game drive was somehow better than the last, as we'd see things we had never even imagined we'd get to see. Admittedly, we had some initial concerns about having to wire the trip payment to him up front (he does not yet accept credit cards), but after much texting and then spending 8 days with him in the bush, I can say I have never met a more kind, honest, and transparent man who is completely trustworthy, and who truly wants to provide his guests the most memorable safari experience possible. He was even helping self-drive vehicles with directions to cheetahs, lions, and leopards we had just seen. His love of the animals and the wilderness is readily apparent, as he is an outspoken advocate for the reserves and for Botswana tourism. He is an expert not only on animals, but also birds, plants, and trees as well. His team is just as outstanding, with trained chefs cooking 4-course meals every night, and assistants who take care of the campsite and provide for our every need. We were so blessed to have 4 people taking care of the 2 of us! It was incredible to sleep in a tent with the roars of lions and elephants nearby, and then to wake up to find leopard tracks going through the middle of our camp the next morning. "Glamping" at it's finest! I give Extremely Wild my highest recommendation--there is no way I would trust any other company and will definitely stick with Isa for any future safaris we take.

Amazing Safari experience with Isa!
We (4 of us) just returned from an 11 day safari in northern Botswana and Zimbabwe with Isa, who is an incredible guide and wildlife tracker. I cannot recommend the camping safari experience highly enough if you really want to be immersed in nature and see far more than you would with the lodge tourism. Being right in the park means you have many more hours of game and bird viewing and it really makes a big difference in terms of what you ultimately see. Hearing lions roar and impalas snorting, birds calling, etc. from your tent every night was just magical. Isa and his team really know what they are doing in terms of safe, comfortable camping in the bush---the food was wonderful and all cooked over a fire and eaten under a lovely dining tent. Inside the tents, the cots were very comfortable and each tent had a 'bathroom' out back complete with a pit toilet (easy and doesn't smell at all) and a shower so we always felt nice and clean at the end of every day. We really can't wait to return and do another tenting safari with Extremely Wild Safaris.
