An Unforgettable Tanzania Safari with an Exceptional Guide
At the end of July 2026, we landed in Tanzania and began our first safari journey with great curiosity and excitement. At the beginning, we knew very little about the wildlife and animals we were about to encounter.
Fortunately, we were assigned an exceptional guide named Wilson. From our very first impression, he stood out as extremely knowledgeable yet remarkably humble and approachable. Unlike many guides, Wilson’s knowledge extends far beyond wildlife. Throughout our journey and conversations, he explained everything we saw and everything we asked about—from animal habitats and plants to local culture, history, geography, and much more.
What impressed me most was Wilson’s extensive experience with animal behavior, along with his exceptional powers of observation and insight. Following his guidance, we were fortunate not only to witness the spectacular Great Migration and exciting hunting scenes, but also to develop a much deeper understanding and appreciation of Tanzania’s wildlife and nature.
Thanks to this fantastic guide, we experienced an unforgettable and highly educational journey that far exceeded our expectations.
I wholeheartedly recommend Wilson as a tour guide. His knowledge, experience, humility, and passion made our Tanzania safari truly special.

Andrew and Moses were very caring, great guides and trackers who knew every road in Zambia.
In July of 2026 we spent 2 weeks on safari in Zambia with Moses and Andrew from Exploration Africa Wildlife and Safaris. We had never been on safari in Zambia before although we had been to most of the other countries in Southern Africa over the last 12 years. My wife Eveline and I had flown from Australia to Lusaka and were greeted by Moses and Andrew at the airport. Over the next two weeks we had one of the best safaris we could have wished for. We travelled to Kafue National Park and tented in beautiful campsites with all facilities. We experienced the southern and northern parts of the park seeing all the wildlife up close and personal. We visited the vast Bursanga plains watching lions, leopards, vultures and all the plains animals in this unique ecosystem. It was breathtaking. One morning while having breakfast a pack of African wild dogs chased an impala through our camp on the hunt. As quick as a flash we were off on the hunt as well. This was an unbelievable experience. Later we ventured down to the Lower Zambezi National Park via Lusaka where we stayed overnight in a beautiful Lodge. Our trip through the Churundu Mountains was picturesque and enjoyable showing us the heart of Zambia. Our lodge was on the banks of the Zambezi River where every night we would hear the hippos and hyeanas singing us to sleep. There were vervet monkeys and baboons close by entertaining us during rest periods. We would have long game drives every day during our stay where we saw many elephants, lmpala, Waterbuck, Bushbuck, Kudu, Warthogs and Baboons. The birdlife was amazing and then we saw lions feasting on a buffalo and a leopard on the hunt for an Impala. I felt we encountered every animal God put on earth during our stay in Zambia. Our meals were amazing as both Moses and Andrew are top chefs on the open fire cooking delicious meals every day. Overall I would say this Safari In Zambia was exciting and lived up to all our expectations and more. We didn’t want it end but feel we will be back again in the not too distant future.

Experienced and reliable Zambian tour operator
This was my second trip with Andrew, and once again it was very well planned and organised. This time we visited in two weeks the Liuwa Plains and Kafue National Park. The trip focused on bird photography. We stayed mainly in tents at the national park campsites.
As well as Andrew, who served as our experienced guide and driver, the tour team included Moses, who, in addition to his excellent knowledge of local birds and wildlife, was a very good cook. Sometime, I could hardly believe the delicious meals they managed to cook up on a camping stove or over an open fire.
I really appreciate the commitment, effort and willingness of both Andrew and Moses, who were always there to help me. The daily program was always adjusted to the current situation and the recommendations of the national park rangers. I appreciated how many activities and opportunities for bird and animal watching both gentlemen managed to plan into each day to make me happy as possible.
I was very satisfied with all aspects of the tour.

Very conscientious and experienced tour operator
Our guide Andrew Kolwani was always very pleasant, polite and willing to help from the first meeting to the end. I appreciate his great knowledge of the Zambian environment, visited national parks, places with animals and birds, as well as his safe driving style.
My hobby is bird photography. Andrew always took this into account and planned the route so that our generally focused group of 6 people not only saw interesting large animals, but I could also take pictures of birds. I really liked that Andrew tried to show us as much as possible every day and helped the more active ones in the group to use every moment of the day - additional walks around the camp area, etc.
The off-road tour car was very well thought out, comfortable and with the ability to recharge the batteries during the day and at night. Our tents were in perfect order - almost like new.
I also appreciate Andrew's pleasant and understandable English. Sometimes I have trouble understanding in Africa, but with him it was no problem. Andrew's usual evening "good night" talks about Zambia, nature and its people were very interesting.

Andrew is a very reliable and experienced organisier, driver and guide. Very much recommended.
We did a three week trip to Liuwa Plains, Kafue and Kasanka NPs. Very good guides in these places, perfect conditions. Mostly camping, five nights in lodges. We had almost 300 species of birds. Andrew and Lamek were perfect hosts. Nice car, nice camping gear. We, a group of five, arrived in Vicoria Falls (Zimbabwe) from Frankfurt and left from Lusaka with Ethiopian Airlines at very reasonable price. Great trip, very good value for money.
