Wild for Game made this a trip of a lifetime
We took the 11-day Northern Explorer Trip with Wild for Game in August of 2025. From start to finish it was amazing. Not only did we see an astonishing amount of diverse wildlife, but it was the quality of the sightings that were off the graph.
I’ll start with our phenomenal guide Marks. His vast experience, deep knowledge of the areas we visited and keen interest in the client’s experience makes him an exemplary safari guide. He would listen to the calls of the animals at night and develop a plan on how and when to see them best the next day. His tracking skills are ridiculously good, and we were often the first or only ones at lion prides, cheetahs and leopard (with or without a kill). He is very aware the getting the best position and sunlight to view and photograph the animals. I hope my photos here prove that.
Our chef Pula was fantastic, putting together meal after meal (including soups and desserts) of great food. He even had snacks/tea/coffee/hot chocolate for all game drive breaks. His ability to plan and cook a variety of cuisines with just a fire is impressive. He always made ample amounts; we could never finish all that he made.
Chucks, our cabin steward and MD & MT (our waiters) were super as well. They always greeted us on return from game drives with enthusiasm, a cold towel and a refreshing cold drink. They made sure our cabins were clean & orderly. The hot water bottle in bed each night made the nighttime really cozy.
My advice, don’t try to do this trip as a self-drive. Even if you are an experienced camper, there are no signs in these vast areas to navigate around (even with GPS), the terrain can be very challenging (rocky roads, objects to avoid, very deep sand and in places marshy water. We saw many breakdowns with others. On top of that, looking for wild game is not for amateurs. Driving around just searching does not work, is inefficient and following others is not reliable. You are there for a limited number of days, make them count by hiring professionals, well worth the money and you’ll have a better time.

It was a pleasure be with them
Everything was ok, we saw a lot of animals. We could see 4 of the big 5, the driver was a nice person.
I would improve the installations of the camp and jeep, but in general was ok.
The most important thing is that we saw many animals.
Naomi was all time listening to us and it was a good assistant

Excellently managed tour of the the beautiful and varied Namibia
Our tour of Namibia exceeded our expectations with Peter and our driver Godfrey going to great lengths to ensure our party made the most of this lovely country. The varied scenery and wildlife more than made up for some long days on the road and the accommodation at night was excellent. All the arrangements including the extra tours we asked to be added to the itinerary were well organised and seamless. Excellent value for money.

All great, the only thing is having cold drinks in the jeep since they didn't cool everything, and hot water in the camps

Amazing as well considerate towards the animals
Had an amazing safari. The driver / guide William was outstanding. What impressed us even more was that he was very considerate and respectful towards the animals. We saw other vehicles encroaching upon the animals and also managed to intervene on two kills of a cheetah and leopard. William kept the distance so we would not impact the animals. Wish other drivers were as good.
Thanks to the team for a fab trip

Excellent Safari
We have used this company for several years and found very good service, with seamless packages covering transport pick up in Nairobi, travel to game reserves, travel onwards to Mombassa all hotels etc prebooked and travel back where applicable. So that takes any worry away from us and we know we are in good hands and can relax and enjoy the wonderful spectacles of wildlife.
Please give them a try you wont be disappointed
