Amazing trip, fantastic service and an unforgettable experience
We did a four day budget camping safari, and oh boy was it worth the money. We went to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, all in the short time span. It was super fascinating to see all these very different national parks back to back. Even we came in the supposedly off-season (because of the tall grass), our driver and guide Stanley still managed to show us so many animals, that we almost started to get bored towards the end. It was overwhelming. A nice side effect of coming here in the low season was the low number of other tourists, especially in the Serengeti. We had many spots and animals there to ourselves which was super special.
Sleeping in the tents was really chill for us (as experienced campers). Mattresses and sleeping bags were more than appropriate. And the campsites were absolutely beautiful!
A review would not be complete without mentioning our chef extraordinaire Sule. He really spoiled us with his creations (pizza in the middle of the Serengeti!?) and was a fun companion on top of that.
We didn't pay the full amount up front (which we highly recommend in hindsight) and had some complications with our credit cards for the remaining amount. Ernest sent a representative who was super helpful and very supportive, so we managed to pay everything easily. Still, if you can: try to pay up front.

Trip of a lifetime
The holiday was a trip of a lifetime, truly incredible. I fully appreciate how difficult it is for bush 2 city to organise all component parts, e.g. vehicle, driver, direction of travel, location of petrol stations, park permits including timings, activities, hotels etc…. We had 2 hotels let us down at the last minute (3 weeks before travelling) but Maliwaza persevered to find us alternative accommodation which is not easy for all the reasons I have detailed. The driver Nicxon was amazing, he took great pride in trying to find quiet secluded spots in the parks and wanted to find the best sightings he could for us. February was a great month to go as it was relatively quiet, I.e. a lot of the time only us viewing animals and we only had 4 short rain showers which didn’t affect anything. Everyone is incredibly friendly and welcoming, the landscapes are all so different and breathtaking. We will definitely return!

Perfect from start to finish!
We emabrked on 3 week Uganda and Kenya (Masai Mara) trip with Bushbound, after years of dreaming about it. From the first email till the day of the trip, Allen was in constant contact replying all my queries and overseeing all requests. The safari was just surreal from remote areas such as kidepo to the vibrancy of Murchison, the trip was very well paced with great accommodation during our stay. The guides and vehicles were also excellent, with very knowledgeable and kind guides and clean vehicles adequate for photography safaris. Wildlife viewing was amazing as well as the food in all the lodges. Coupled with extremely good value for money for such a trip. Bushbound you'll see me again next year ;)

Matthew & Team bring immense knowledge and love of South Africa and curate a special experience
Matthew worked closely with us to design a safari experience tailor made to our needs.
For us, as first time Safari-goers, we did not know what to do expect. He patiently explained the nuances of different regions, accommodations, time of year nuances and travel distances to maximize fun and enjoyment.
We ended up doing a 10 day package in South Africa: 1 day driving on the Panorama Route, 3 days inside Kruger in the rustic Olifants camp doing bush walks, 3 days in the private game reserve Timbavarti at Shindzela camp doing game drives and finally at Matthew's own luxury reserve in the south of Kruger, Grace of Africa.
Each showed us different ways that one can safari and we loved it. Matthew was also quite responsive to us wanting to change up the itinerary on the fly and went out of his way to come up with off-the-beaten-path activities like a local waterfall and driving through rural towns
