A wild ride through the African Safari above and beyond expectations!
I and my family (mom, dad, and brother) went on safari through the Okavango Delta in Botswana in June 2018. Our tour guide was Isa Jackson. Isa was an amazing tour guide for his knowledge of the land, animals, and history. He was always cheerful and accommodating. More so he was excited to be on the safari no matter how many times he must have taken the same trip. He was always looking for the best possible experience and photo ops. The crew on the trip was awesome! They cooked, cleaned, set up the tents, brought hot water bottles, made the fires, all with professionalism and happiness. Everyone was a delight on the trip which made experiencing the wild life and nature all the more enjoyable. Extremely Wild Safaris made my experience unforgettable.

All encompassing and unforgettable safari experience with our amazing guide Isa!
My friend and I were looking for an African safari adventure on a budget. Not knowing what to expect going into this, I still had a good feeling from the get-go based on Extremely Wild's reputation and they lived up to it! During our five day tour in Okavango Delta, Isa's friendly demeanor and vast knowledge of the wildlife allowed me to fully immerse in my surroundings and enjoy it all the more.
Aside from being an expert on wildlife and all things Botswana, he positioned the safari jeep in a way best suited for photography whenever we approached anything from common sightings of elephants to more rare sightings of lions. We spotted many animals including hippos, honeybadgers, leopards, giraffes, impalas, monkeys and even wilddogs, etc. After a long day of safari tours, tea breaks and incredible sightings of some of the big five, we would return to our campsite in the evening.
We were really thankful for Isa and Niko helping us out being new to camping. They setup the tents and built a campfire to keep us warm in the winter. Niko would prep the meals in the evenings and bring us together. We sat around the bonfire to exchange stories from our respective countries and learn more about Botswana. These are some of the memories I took back with me and I don't think it would have been the same without Extremely Wild by our side.
I would want all my friends and family to experience what I did in Botswana. I will be sure to get in touch with Extremely Wild when I plan to explore Namibia.

Experienced and friendly guide with a great team. We were always first to the rare sightings.
I had a great time with extremely wild safari's team. Isa was the best guide we had out of 4 guides from various big name lodges (chobe lodge, ongava rented camp, kulala desert Lodge) he had a wealth of knowledge and knew how to track animals better than the rest.
Our tented camp and meals were beyond expectation, a glamping experience to remember.

"Absolutely amazing expierence"
First of all, we want to thank Isa for giving us the best experience in Botswana. Not only for his knowledge of wildlife, (by the way, it is excellent) but also for how he is. We did 3 days/2nights in Khwai Reserve with him and the experience was better than we can ever imagine. His tracking skills are incredible and he cares about all details, such as finding the best spot to take the photos, answering any information we would like to know, our safety, having a great time…the perfect combination.
If you are thinking to do a Safari in this beautiful country, do not hesitate in contact Extremely Wild Safaris and explain them which are your Safari trip expectations, Isa will do his best to fulfill your request. We highly recommend him.
Looking forward to come back in the near future!

Extremely BIG CAT Experience!!
This is our third safari with Isa. We had a brilliant time and visited the Khwai Concession, Nxai Pan National Park, Makgadikgadi Pans Game Reserve, and the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. Isa is a fantastic and instinctive tracker and we saw lots of game and wildlife. During our safari saw 3 lots of lions and 3 lots of cheetahs, including a mother and two cubs playing.
Isa is very professional, trustworthy, reliable, thoughtful, and flexible. He is sociable and friendly. The service provided was excellent, from the thoughtful choice of campsites to the delicious meals and the mechanics of moving sites. We would like to thank him and his team- Tao and Oti - for their always polite and kind attention. We have teenage children and Isa was always informative and interacting with them.
We hope to be able to visit again and would travel with Isa again. Great value for money.

Outstanding. Isa was my guide and did an exemplary job even helping 6 other guides find game !
Again, Outstanding. I did a one day Moremi day trip. I couldn't believe the amount of game we saw. Lions both a pride of 17 and another group of 3 adult males. huge numbers of elephant, giraffe, gazelle, kudu and many other types of small game. We also saw a Jackal, a few Hippo and a leopard stalking some gazelle.
It was a long day. I would recommend if you have the time to do at least a one night camp stay, two if you can afford the time. Its a 5 hour drive back and forth to the park from Maun so you loose a lot of time on the commute. We spent about 7 hours in the park and Isa provided breakfast and lunch. Extremely wild safari's has been around for a while with good reviews. That is why I chose them......you should to !!!

Professional Guides are hard to find
Isa at Extremely Wild is a Professional Guide. You can not decide to just be a guide, there are several hard steps you must take in order to be a guide and Botswana's standards are very high. Having worked with some of the best in the business, it is no wonder why this young man has risen through the ranks so fast. Highly competent, super friendly, he can take you on a safari to track wildlife (most fun) and get you in position to take amazing photographs. He understands what people want, and he knows how to get at it.

Amazing guide and adventure!
Isa Jackson was our safari guide and he was amazing! My sister, myself, and parents undertook our trip starting at Maun and had game drives throughout Chobe as well as Moremi game reserve. It was an amazing experience and we were able to see lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, hippos, African wild dogs, crocodiles, hawks, baboons, vervet monkeys, and many different birds. With the lions, we were able to be within ten feet, which was frightening to say the least.
Although seeing the animals was a great experience, what sets any safari apart is the guide. Extremely Wild Safaris has a great guide in Isa. He is very knowledgeable of animal behavior, scientific understanding of the geological processes taking place in the Okavango Delta, and has a great ability to track and find animals. An enthusiastic guide, he made our wonderful trip truly once and a lifetime. Thank you!
