Amazing Safari with Apodiformes
We had a wonderful trip in Kenya with Apodiformes Adv. Our guide, Sebastian, is a great advisor to our trip. He is efficient driver, and is full of knowledge of the wild world. With a great vision, he helped us to catch three of the Big Five in our first day in Lake Nakuru. Sebastian deals with all kinds of problems on the road. Without him, our Safari would not be so smooth.

An Exceptional Safari Guide — Edward Made Our Tanzania Journey Unforgettable
Edward was, without question, one of the greatest highlights of our safari in Tanzania. Everyone in our group agreed that his service was impeccable, his knowledge was outstanding, and his professionalism went far beyond what we expected from a safari guide. We would recommend him without hesitation.
What impressed us most was how seriously Edward respected what his guests genuinely wanted to see. He never simply followed the standard route or settled for the most obvious sightings. His knowledge of the national parks was truly exceptional, allowing him to locate even extremely rare wildlife scenes with remarkable accuracy. By the later part of our trip, experiences that many visitors considered once-in-a-lifetime sightings—such as the famous wildebeest river crossing—had almost become familiar to us, simply because Edward had already managed to show us so many of them.
His understanding of animal behaviour, movement patterns, and the surrounding environment was equally extraordinary. He consistently anticipated where the animals were heading, found the best possible viewing and photography positions, and often got us there before anyone else. At the same time, he was always careful not to disturb the animals, allowing them to behave naturally and, on several occasions, come remarkably close to our vehicle.
One of the most unforgettable moments of our entire journey was witnessing a lioness hunt. After the hunt, Edward accurately predicted the route she would take back and positioned us perfectly ahead of time. Thanks to his judgement, we were the first vehicle to arrive, and the long telephoto photography equipment I had carried all the way to Tanzania finally had its perfect moment: we captured the lioness walking directly towards us with her prey in her mouth. It was a scene we will remember for the rest of our lives.
Beyond his expertise, Edward is also an exceptionally kind and thoughtful person. During our trip, we saw him stop at least three times—with our permission—to help other guides who were experiencing difficulties on the road. At the end of every safari day, he carefully checked the vehicle for anything we might have left behind and made sure that our equipment, drinks, and other needs were always taken care of. For Edward, these thoughtful details were not occasional gestures; they were simply part of his daily routine.
Edward combines outstanding wildlife knowledge, exceptional judgement, genuine kindness, and an extraordinary level of care for his guests. He did not simply guide us through Tanzania—he created some of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives.
If you are fortunate enough to have Edward as your safari guide, you are in the very best hands. He deserves our highest possible recommendation.

Truly amazing experience
Highly recommend Ndutu for the Serengeti circuit. Everything was excellent, including communications, accomodation, and quality fo guides. Was also the most value for money option compared to competitors. My guide Tony was incredible, very knowledgeable and always making sure that we have a good time and get to see all of the animals up close and in action.

An unforgettable Uganda safari — highly recommend Bruce and Wildmist Adventures
On the ground, Bruce proved to be everything you want in a safari guide. His driving skills are excellent — no small thing in Uganda, where road conditions can be genuinely challenging. His knowledge of the country’s wildlife, landscapes, and culture is impressive, and he shared it generously throughout the trip.
What impressed us most was his dedication to making sure we actually saw the animals what we came for. He didn’t just follow a script — he read the situation, adapted spontaneously, and went the extra mile every single day. That flexibility made a real difference to the quality of our experience.
We travelled as two people over 12 days covering Murchison Falls, Kibale, Queen Elizabeth, Bwindi, Kisoro, Lake Bunyonyi, Lake Mburo, Jinja and Kampala. Every part of the trip was handled with care.
I would recommend Wildmist Adventures.

Brighton is an excellent host, very knowledgeable and flexible to meet our needs and desires.
Our family safari was exceptional! Brighton arranged an 11 day safari for our family of 8 persons, aged 12 to 75. We visited Hwange, Victoria Falls, Chobe, Elephant Sands and the Okavango Delta. Brighton is an excellent host. He is very punctual and communicates well. His network of local guides was both flexible and professional. Game drives, cruises, lodges, meals – everything was well planned and executed. We enjoyed our African safari experience to the max.

Francis is a very funny, knowledgeable and overall amazing man.
We cannot recommend this company highly enough! From the moment our trip took an unexpected turn, Francis went above and beyond to make sure everything worked out perfectly.
We were probably some of the most complicated clients to deal with after three of our flights were cancelled and we were diverted to a completely different country. Despite this, Francis never hesitated to help. He happily travelled many extra hours to collect us and ensure we got to where we needed to be, always with a smile and a genuine willingness to help.
Throughout our safari, Francis was incredibly caring, knowledgeable and dedicated to making sure we had the best possible experience. He constantly went the extra mile, making sure we had plenty of photos from our activities and of the stunning scenery so we could relive the memories long after the trip.
The gorilla trekking was absolutely unbelievable—one of the most incredible experiences of our lives. We’d do it again in a heartbeat. The chimpanzee trekking was equally unforgettable and something we’ll never forget.
Thank you, Francis, for your kindness, flexibility and exceptional service. You turned what could have been a stressful start into the trip of a lifetime. If you’re considering booking with this company, don’t hesitate—you’ll be in the best hands!

WOW ❤️
An unforgettable experience – highly recommended!
We have just finished our safari in Tanzania, and it was truly one of the most amazing experiences our family has ever had.
From the moment we landed, we felt we were in great hands. The driver who picked us up from the airport was friendly, professional, and welcoming. He made us feel comfortable right away and ensured we arrived safely and stress-free.
For almost two months before our trip, John was absolutely incredible. He was always available to answer every question, responded quickly and patiently, and helped us plan every detail of our journey. His support gave us complete peace of mind, and his level of service went far beyond our expectations.
During the safari, we were lucky enough to see every animal we had hoped for, including the Big Five. This was all thanks to our outstanding guide, who was knowledgeable, experienced, patient, and genuinely kind. His passion for wildlife and nature was evident throughout the trip, and he always seemed to know exactly where to take us so we wouldn’t miss a single special moment.
A huge thank you to the entire team for your professionalism, kindness, and exceptional service. If you’re planning a safari in Tanzania, we highly recommend this experience. It exceeded all our expectations, and we would love to come back again in the future!

Very knowledgeable and interesting guide
Kennedy, our guide, did an outstanding job of spotting hard to find animals. He was always very nice to our family of five and took the time to share tons of information about the beautiful country of Tanzania, it's people and the animals we saw at our game drives.
Hope to visit again in the future.

Perfect
Our first plus point was that our tour operator (dear Arthur) trusted us enough to go ahead and book our flight tickets without any upfront payment. We also want to thank Auricair for a safe flight, and our tour guide and driver, Cuma, who won us over with the information he shared and his safe driving. Endless thanks for everything.
