Very knowledgeable about all wildlife,and becomes part of the group.
5/5

The Graham Safari was my first, and it was perfect. Every connection was easy and hassle free, each camp was comfortable and the animal sightings were unbelievable! Lions, lion cubs, leopards, Kudus, elephants, and rhinos. Many of these were seen no more than 20 feet away. Paul is easy to talk with, shares his knowledge freely, and quickly becomes a member of the group. My next trip will be with Kusini.

Paul educated me about wildlife and local culture and foods and was a pleasure to travel with.
5/5

Paul provided a hassle free experience that allowed our group to focus on the wildlife and safari experience. He shared his vast knowledge of wildlife and local culture while also providing a trip that included enough creature comforts for city slickers (High Tea at the Royal Livingstone Hotel was a bonus) - and was fun to be with for the 18-day trip! Call Paul for your next safari!!!

Fantastic
5/5

This Safari to Botswana was our 3rd Safari with Kusini and Paul Tickner. He is absolutely the best there is! We have been with him to Southern Tanzania, Zimbabwe , and now Botswana. He has been incredibly knowledgeable about all three countries. He knows animals, birds, and lodges!!
Whether he privately guides you or just plans your safari, he gears it to your needs and wants. We would not go to Africa without him.

Paul planned our safari honeymoon in Tanzania and it was the most incredible trip of our lives!
5/5

Paul from Kusini Safaris planned our safari honeymoon in Tanzania and it was the most incredible trip of our lives! We were continually blown away by the spectacular wildlife, landscape, accommodations, service, and most importantly, the people. We were so sad to leave each camp and loved how different each experience was. The transportation was all seamless and we never had to worry about anything. Truly the most amazing honeymoon we could have ever imagined and Paul deserves all the credit! He put so much thought and careful consideration into our itinerary and took all our *demanding* preferences into account. We were blown away and made memories that we will tell our grandkids about. Cannot recommend enough using Kusini Safaris for any Africa trip!

excellent
5/5

my wife and I have been on several safaris (7 or 8) twice with Kusini. Our most recent safari started at Sand River Selous,Tanzania last Febr.
A beautiful location with an abundance of game, hippos, buffalos, wildebeest, giraffe and many with little ones. Our next stop was Ikuka Safari Camp. A completely different environment with the camp at the top of a mountain and great vieuws over the lowlands. Here we encountered more wildlive than we ever could have expected. Two lionesses with a cub, a leopard walking less than two yards past our car and climbing a baobab tree and another pair of lions, male and female, in love, hard to meet in the wild and when we thought we had seen it all we met a pack of perhaps 15 or more wild dogs who had killed an impalla and lets not forget the chitas although the grass was high we still met them.
The last stopwas Pole Pole at Mafia Island. This was a bit disappointing, certainly n t the lodge, service or the food but had hoped for an encounter with a whale-shark but wrong time of the year. In any case,these were two fantastic weeks which we could do again anytime and let's not forget the exellent organization with both the local transportation as well the domestic fights
