Amazing Animal Spotters!
Ian and David were our drivers for our trip and they do such a great job with pointing out the animals without binoculars! They have eyes for detail and have a good understanding of the terrains! We managed to catch the BIG 5 on our 1st trip!

The Experience of a Lifetime
My brother and I begin researching Kenya & Tanzania safari options a few months ago and stumbled on Bavuma WildQuest’s website. Less than an hour after submitting an inquiry, Joshua Bavuma himself messaged me on WhatsApp, and emailed me a well-detailed itinerary and quote document. He was very kind and attentive to special requests such as adding in a hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti.
Joshua provided prior reviews, pictures and even WhatsApp numbers for previous customers, which impressed us and immediately made us trust in him and his business. He allowed us to easily hold our Safari dates with a small deposit paid online, and kept in regular contact with us to answer any questions we may have had the months leading up to our arrival in Kenya.
We arrived and were immediately picked up by our first tour guide Ian. Ian was a friendly and incredibly knowledgeable young man who we absolutely loved as a Safari guide. He had incredible vision and quickly pointed out hidden animals in the bush like gazelles, cheetahs and zebras plus more our first day in Amboseli NP. The second day was just as incredible, we saw baby elephants and a Masai Giraffe up close in Masai Mara reserve. Our highlight on the Kenya side was seeing a whole pride of lions with 2 lion cubs. Finally, Ian was kind enough to drive us to the border with Tanzania, help us meet the Tanzanian Bavuma guide and clear immigration and customs before continuing on with our safari in Tanzania. Ian was a world-class guide, and having visited over 20 countries, Ian was the best tour guide I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting.
Dennis was our guide on the Tanzanian side, and was equally as friendly and knowledgeable. He picked us up after we crossed the border and did a short game drive in the Northern Serengeti. We were incredibly lucky to witness the wildebeest migration across the river, see a leopard mama and her cub in a tree, and end the day with a spectacular sighting of two lions which were brothers. Finally, Dennis showed us flamingos, rhinos and more at the incredible Ngorongoro Crater, before dropping us off in Arusha, introducing us to Mr. Bavuma himself, and saying our goodbyes before departure.
The safaris, service, even the camps we stayed in while at Masai, Serengeti NP and more were all wonderful. Bavuma also offered us wonderful add-ons like the famous hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti, a tour of Mt. Kilimanjaro and many opportunities to learn more about the tribal culture of the local tribes like the Masai people.
This was a truly 5-star experience and one of the best adventures I’ve ever been on throughout the travels of my life. I would highly recommend booking a safari with Bavuma WildQuest - ask for Ian and Dennis if possible.

Joshua organised the most amazing and memorable safari for us
Amazing trip with a lifetime of memories.
From start to finish Joshua from Bavuma Wildquest was helpful, prompt in replying and organised an outstanding safari for us.
Our safari guide Mwanga, was so knowledgeable with over 20 years of guiding safari’s around the Serengeti and a truly lovely man who managed to find some many animals.
We had the most amazing week that we will never forget.
Thank you Joshua for all that you did for us and we loved meeting your lovely little family
