Amazing experience- super friendly staff and well organized- MATERUNI Waterfall+ ARUSHA Nationalpark
From the first moment on we felt welcome in this beautiful country. Even when we arrived at the airport our guide Eliis was waiting for us with a big smile. We connected easily and had so much fun together. Eliis was super flexible and arranged everything we have been requested for.
The Waterfall Tour started with a nice walk where Eliis explained about the landscape, sourrounding and traditions as well as some lessions in Swahili. We have been almost alone at the Waterfall and took the opportunity to make some nice photos and videos altogether.
Afterwards we moved on to the coffee farm where we experienced an interesting insight in the coffee making procedure. This activity was followed by a delicious lunch (vegatarian options available!!!).
Next day we did a trip to Arusha Nationalpark. This was the first stop before we started our 7 days Safari trip. Arusha Nationalpark is an ideal opener for the Safari trip and we would recommend to start your Safari with this park. You can see a lot of Giraffes very close and the landscape of the park is very nice. We had lunch at the view point where we also had enough time to relax and enjoy the atmosphere and silence. Eliis took us to some nice photo spots.
We would like to point out that the experience was so special because of Eliis. He is a rewarding person and has always a big smile on his face. It´s super funny to joke around with him. Thats why we enjoyed these trips so much!! Highly recommended.

Well done!
On April 12th I went on a guided tour with Kudu in the Victoria Falls Rainforest. And I enjoyed it: Kudu was a great guide who showed me the best places for photos and explained a lot. Highly recommended!

It was absolutely amazing. I had a great time and I will definitely go back. This was very fantastic
The best thing about Tanzania safaris is the food. The food is very cultural and it tastes amazing.

amazing adventure - 7 Day Safari Tour
We did the 7 Day-Safari Tour as a group of 6 persons.
Our guide Samwel was always very concerned about the well-being of all.
It was an incredibly beautiful adventure with many impressions and breathtaking experiences.
We spent 3 of 6 nights in tents. The tents and the campsite were really ok. The price-performance ratio was absolutely fine.
If you want something more luxurious, you can book accordingly.
We would highly recommand this tour.

The most reliable and kind tour operator we have been with
The tour was built around our needs and preferences, and everyone was really flexible with our last minute requests. The driver spoke really good Italian and was really knowledgeable about the many areas we visited. Overall we had a lot of fun and would highly recommend using Branded Africa Safaris.

Bush Ways is the answer to any Botswana question
Our experience with Bush Ways Mobile Safaris redefines the notion of premium camping, seamlessly blending comfort and adventure. From spacious tents with modern amenities, fully customised safari vehicles, to gourmet meals served under the stars, each moment is a celebration of the finer things in life against the backdrop of the African bush.
Wildlife Encounters & Nature Appreciation: No matter how many safaris you’ve experienced in other African countries, Botswana is entirely unique.
Wildlife in Botswana is an in-person wildlife documentary and the narrator is your Bush Ways Safaris guide. In five minute segments, you can see a pride of 13 lions at sunset with young cubs playfully chewing on male lion adolescent ears, charging peers and pouncing on adult lionesses. In another segment, a breeding herd of elephants racing towards a waterhole for a drink, only to find they are in fact being chased by a bull in musth. Not forgetting the iconic segment of a newborn Cape Buffalo calf, wet with afterbirth, being approached by a herd of uncertain bulls and nurturing cows as it takes its first steps.
Our Guides: Moscow and Gabriel (eventually nicknamed Mad-Hatter Moscow and Goshawk Gabby) were exceptional. It is such a skill to please the appetites of three very different safari-goers all in the same vehicle - birders, botanists and wildlife enthusiasts. Yet, for Gabby and Moscow, it appeared to be a breeze.
Gabby is a testament to Bush Ways Safaris’ commitment to the Tswana people (also known as the Batswana) by nurturing sustainable growth and creating a positive community impact. Gabby started as a Chef, worked his way up to lodge guide and finally became a mobile safari guide, the most esteemed position in Bush Ways Safaris. He is one of many Bush Ways Safaris employees who have been able to nurture and grow their passions into full-time careers.
Culinary Experiences: Exploring the culinary delights of Bush Ways Safaris’ kitchen is a gastronomic journey like no other. From flame grilled steak fillets to fragrant lamb tagines, all cooked over the campfire using traditional cooking techniques that tantalise the taste buds. Bread, cakes and pastries are baked in a Dutch oven each day.
Community Engagement: Engaging with local communities and supporting grassroots initiatives enables Bush Ways Safaris and their guests to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the people encountered on safari.
Cultural Immersion: Bush Ways Safaris provides the opportunity for a cultural exchange in each of the communities it passes through. Keeping in mind that much of Botswana's wildlife is protected, this naturally opposes the traditional ways of the San Bushmen who would live off the land. In an effort to support conservation, the San Bushmen communities within protected areas have taken employment at local lodges and conservancies.
Locations: Whether on the lodge to lodge, adventure camping or premium camping safari with Bush Ways Safaris, every location has been expertly chosen to ensure you are amidst the action for the best possible experience of the village or wildlife reserve. Every lodge has a breathtaking view of flood plains, rivers or pans. Each camp site puts you in the middle of the morning leopard calls or late night hyena whoops.
I have been completely blown away by my experience. From the sheer variety of birds and bugs to the sprawling savannahs teeming with wildlife, each moment is a testament to the beauty and boundless diversity of nature in Botswana.

An incredible experience
I visited Akagera with Golden Rwanda and had an incredible experience throughout. Frank communicated clearly and promptly, and was flexible on arrangements. It was very well-priced compared to competitors and the itinerary for Akagera was great to maximise time on game drives.
Taufique was a super guide on the day - very communicative, punctual, patient, and professional. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and had amenities like a fridge and plugs for charging. Taufique had a great eye for spotting animals, and I was very pleased with what I saw! Meals included were good too

So organized guy full of respect to customers.
An ideal and meticulously planned safari.The folks at wildbound safari and tours were the reason we had such a great time in Kenya!When Electine customized the vacation to meet our needs, she was of great assistance, we had multiple whatsapp chats and email, and everything went smoothly. Our ten days safari was superbly organized. Electine and our tour leader, Paul ,ensured that everything was properly handled! We saw all five of the "Big Five" while at wildbound safari,and the game drivers were entertaining and educational. For travel and safaris at wildbound safaris ,I will always go with and heartily recommend wildbound safari and tour.

Thanks for wipa safaris tour company and arrange our amazing trip to Africa Tanzania,
We couple from this USA, had a very enjoyable time on this multi-location safari and highly recommend it to others looking for a bucket-list experience.
blessed to have Jackson as our driver/guide; his experience, knowledge, driving skills (yep, the roads were challenging!), and keen eyes to point our wildlife were invaluable. Muro's professional abilities were exceeded by his obvious genuine personal concern for us as not only paying tourists but also as people who enjoy taking the time to get know & respect each other in a matter of a short few days. Muro knew so much about the animals, there was no question that he could not answer! We felt like were saying goodbye to a good friend when we left! The entire experience was perfect and professional. Peter was great to work with in booking and finalizing details. It was nice to get a face with the name when he came by to personally send us off on the first day of our tour.
We added a day in the front end at Tulia lodge which was great to give us a rest day after a long day of flying from Johannesburg through Nairobi. The itinerary was amazing, the pace was perfect, and we saw so much. Thanks to Muro's keen eye we saw over 40 animals and birds. We did Materuni Falls on the first day. We enjoyed the views but note that the description says a short hike. It is actually one hour in and one hour out over slippery rocks and uneven trails. It would be very easy to slip/fall or sprain an ankle. The lunch was good, and the coffee part of the tour was enjoyable.
The accommodations were great - we loved Tulia, Under the Shade and Octagon Lodge which were excellent and very magical. A minor detail, we would go with something else instead of the Shuhadia Tented Camp in Serengeti (felt safe and rooms were nice but drinks were very expensive, and we were charged for laundry that we did not ask to be done). We were considering going for the luxury lodge experience but were glad we did not because you really are not at the lodges all that long before you go to sleep, and they are all the same when sleeping! You will not be disappointed in going with Wipa safari . Everyone is so friendly, and they truly are committed to delivering a top-notch experience. We will recommend to our friends for a worry-free trip!eli
