Outstanding, customized safari trips with a personal touch unmatched by the bigger travel companies!
We just completed our second trip with Kusini Safaris, this time to Uganda and Rwanda for chimpanzee and mountain gorilla trekking. As we experienced the first time with Paul, this trip was outstanding and proceeded flawlessly! I have no reservations about giving this company a 5-star rating and fully recommending them to anyone interested in a customized African safari. We generally start with a basic outline of where we want to go and what we want to see. From there Paul does a super job collaboratively building a fully detailed itinerary based upon his knowledge and experience of African safaris. He is very open about refining the trip based on affordability, timing, personal interests, etc.. The camps/lodges that Paul selected this trip (Papa’s Camp, Primate, Clouds, and Sabyinyo) were first class and we couldn’t have been more satisfied with the level of service, hospitality, food and comfort. Paul appears to be well-connected with the in-country African tour operators and has always selected outstanding companies. There was never a moment where we didn’t have someone ready to meet us the airports, lodges and even at the country borders during segment transitions. It certainly contributes to the stress-free and safe feeling you have while traveling in this part of the world. Paul will also provide a lot of informal tips and recommendations to make sure your trip goes perfectly. And by the way, the actual primate treks were out of this world and have created timeless memories we will never forget! When we go back to Africa some day in the future, there’s no doubt we will be using Kusini Safaris for a third time!
Amazing Safari Package
Incredible one day safari with Kihindo. Our guide Dearden was incredibly knowledgeable and we saw countless animals. Ticked off nearly all of the big five in one morning!
Highly recommend this company!!
Very communicative easy to book and well run operation
Danford was the absolute best! We are so lucky to have his knowledge on our tour. He was always happy to stop, share information, and has the best smile! Fantastic day trip - recommend 5 stars!

10 Day Northern Highlight Trip
Our safari with Lucas Tshupo was nothing short of incredible. Just from our first morning drive, he was able to quickly track two male lions we heard near our camp the night before—his instinct for finding wildlife was truly remarkable. Lucas knew exactly where to go and when to wait, making every game drive—day and night—feel like we were in the right place at the right time. Lucas is a genuinely kind person who made us feel safe and well taken care of throughout.
Wild For Game's mobile camping crew also deserves praise—each time we arrived at a new location, everything—from tents to amenities—was already beautifully arranged and ready for us to settle in. Their thoughtful service created a stress-free rhythm that let us focus on soaking in the experience.
The food was absolutely outstanding. Every meal was fresh, flavorful, and far beyond what you'd expect in the middle of the bush. I'm going to miss some of those meals!
Lucas crafted our itinerary to take us through Mormei, Khwai, and Savute, before wrapping up in Victoria Falls. Each reserve and park offered its own distinct landscapes and wildlife, making every stop feel fresh and different. Ending in Victoria Falls was the perfect finish—and the accommodation Lucas arranged for us there was absolutely top-notch.
Hands down, this trip was a 5/5 experience—and a memory we'll never forget.

Great experience
I went on a private safari with my family, and we visited Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Manyara, and Tarangire National Parks. Mirambo was an exceptional guide — he managed to show us all the animals of the savannah and fulfilled every one of our wishes (including eating red bananas)!

Resoundingly Great Safari
Our guide, Marck, was outstanding. He knew the bush like the back of his hand; all the watering holes, migration tracks, etc., and had an innate sense of where to find animals. We were pleased to note that he was respectful of wildlife and avoided spooking them. Being a private tour, Marck was flexible and went where and how we wanted. We witnessed myriad species and countless numbers of the animals thanks to Marck's sharp instincts and experience in the bush. We had front-row seats to the great migration and to nature at its best.
A huge thank you to everyone who was involved in making our trip such a resounding success.

Natasha was patient, kind and an expert in all things Namibia!
Where do we even begin? From the moment we landed in Namibia, every detail of our journey felt thoughtfully curated and filled with heart and that’s all thanks to Natasha.
She didn’t just plan a trip; she crafted an unforgettable experience that made us feel truly special every step of the way. From the breathtaking lodges to the seamless logistics, surprise touches, and personalized moments, it was clear how much care and intention she put into every part of our adventure.
Natasha, your passion for creating meaningful travel experiences shines through in everything you do. You made us feel celebrated, cared for, and completely at ease to soak in the magic of Namibia. This was more than a vacation it was a memory of a lifetime, and it wouldn’t have been the same without you.
Thank you for making our dream trip a reality. We’re already dreaming of what you’ll plan next!

Tailor-made safari, timeless memories
A big thank you to Julius for turning the celebration of my husband's 50th birthday into a magical and unforgettable family event. He organized a tailor-made safari and accommodations with excellent value for money, along with a French-speaking guide, Amani, who was highly knowledgeable about the savannah (especially the Serengeti), and a cook who prepared delicious homemade meals for us. We shared some truly wonderful moments with both of them, and they were also very respectful of our family's privacy.
We also had the incredible chance to take a hot air balloon flight over Serengeti National Park. Floating above the plains at sunrise, with wildlife roaming below us, was a breathtaking and emotional experience we'll never forget.
Julius exceeded our expectations by always being attentive and communicating effectively, both well before and throughout our trip. We warmly recommend him, as he will be able to advise you based on your preferences and budget, and find the best options to ensure your satisfaction.

Another World
We did a safari trip in Tanzania with an excellent guide named Samir. We visited the Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti reserves. Samir is polite, pleasant, speaks fluent English, and has extensive knowledge in the field. He was professional and amazing, and found us wonderful surprises in the wild with great skill. We highly recommend traveling with Samir. Thank you, Samir!
