Brilliant
We had the great pleasure of having the best tour guide in Gustav to show us the best of Kruger National Park. He was very informative and we managed to see every animal on our list. Great experience and highly recommended.

Fantastic and motivated local company providing private and comfortable camping safaris
We signed up for a 10-night camping safari that included five 2-night stays: first 2 nights in a community concession in the Okavango Delta (mokoro and walking safari), and then 2 nights each in Moremi, Kawhi, Savute, and Chobe (safari truck). We had a very experienced and certified safari guide who knew the parks and animals very well, a cook who prepared remarkably good food over the campfire (even baking bread), a driver/camp hand who drove the support truck and helped with camp setup, and a camp hand who set up camp and provided us with warm water for hand washing and showers. The tent was perfect, the cots (with little mattresses) were quite comfortable, and the enclosed area in the back for the toilet and showering gave good privacy and protection when needing to relieve oneself in the night. Walking stick also arranged a river tour and transport for us to Victoria Falls after the conclusion of our trip, and the contractors they work with were fabulous.
The trip itself was amazing -- even life changing. Botswana has made a big effort to preserve and share their natural resources, and what we saw and experienced was awe-inspiring. Every body we dealt with in Botswana seemed very focused on making sure the tourists were happy. Their economy depends on it, and they seemed pretty proud of the job they're doing (and they should be). And the product they're pedaling was amazing. All three of our guides (the local community guy in the Delta, the certified safari guide, and the boat tour captain) were very different and very knowledgable, and we enjoyed them greatly. They clearly enjoyed their jobs showing off what the land had to offer. Never at any time through the entire tour did we wonder what we were to do next. We were handed off from person to person from when we landed in Maun until we reached our hotel in Victoria Falls, and every person knew exactly what they were to provide for us and where to take us.
We went with Walking Stick because we didn't want to be part of a big tour group but couldn't afford the private safaris. I'm not sure how we found them, but they had good reviews so we decided to go for it. I'm glad we did. It was worth every dime.

A+ service from the company
I was part of a group travel and this team did a stellar job managing such a huge team. It being my first safari, they have definitely set a standard!
We did Serengeti, Ngorongoro and a village tour to Mto wa mbu. Ngorongoro definitely won my heart. So beautiful, when they say it's like Garden of Eden of Africa it really is.
From the time we landed, transfers to/from the airport were done well,the drivers interacted really well with us. On safari, the guides were just amazing from Saleh,Ozzie,Yusuph and Emmanuel. Their patience and dedication to their work was evident. At no point did they seem tired or bothered even after long drives or numerous questions and requests from us.
As somebody who loves food, I must say the lunches we had on safari were really impressive. So delicious, warm and more than enough considering our numbers. The guides set the table and served us really well. The hospitality was just impressive.
We slept at Nyota Luxury camp which was also amazing with amazing staff. The only downside I'll mention here is that the water was pretty cold in the morning because they use solar,.maybe something to look into.
All in all, highly highly recommend Lion King!
