Fantastic and flexible mobile camping safari operator - bespoke trip to Lower Zambezi and Kafue
We needed to arrange a bespoke safari trip due to very constrained dates, and after lots of research we chose Adventure Purists/Bundu Adventures. They were very helpful in discussing options and very flexible in agreeing what we wanted to do. Despite being a bespoke trip, it was a reasonable price (probably as it is a local operator without the overheads and markups of some of the international overland/small tour companies). We were a family of 4 in one of the extended landrover vehicles, so had lots of space and everyone had a window. Our guide was Mishek and cook was Monica - both were excellent and Monica was flexible with arrangements for breakfast and dinner to work around our game drives with Mishek. We linked in a 3 day canoe safari on the lower Zambezi, which was also excellent. We wanted as wild camping as we could get in Zambia, and Kafue certainly delivered that in a couple of camps. Having lived in Africa for many years when younger, and been to many game parks with many guides, I can say that Mishek is a good birder as well as a good general guide and game spotter. Overall, we would have no hesitation in going with this company again, and if planning another mobile camping trip in Zambia would definitely start with them.

Amazing Safari experience!
We recently completed a 5-day safari with Suricata Safaris, and it was a very positive experience. Our guide, Pascal, was excellent, highly professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated to ensuring we had a great trip. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to see all of the Big Five along with a wide variety of other wildlife. We opted for the mid-range package, and the accommodations were all very nice and comfortable. The food provided throughout the trip was also good. Overall, the tour was well-organized, and we felt very well taken care of. We would definitely recommend Suricata Safaris and Pascal for a well-managed safari experience

An Unforgettable Tanzania Safari Experience: Incredible Wildlife, Breathtaking Landscapes, Exception
Our journey with Wildebeest Footsteps Adventures was an exceptional experience that went far beyond an ordinary safari. From the moment we started planning our trip to the final day in Tanzania, everything was thoughtfully arranged and professionally handled.
A special mention goes to Evalina, our Tour Consultant from the office, who was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process. She was responsive, attentive to our requests, and made sure that the arrangements were well organized. Her professionalism and personal attention gave us confidence that we were in good hands even before our adventure began.
The safari itself was absolutely amazing. Tanzania’s incredible wildlife, spectacular landscapes, peaceful surroundings, and beautiful sunsets made every day feel special. We particularly appreciated being able to enjoy the journey at a comfortable pace, giving us enough time to take in the scenery, observe wildlife, and truly appreciate each destination rather than feeling rushed.
Our guide was another highlight of the experience. His excellent knowledge of Tanzania, its wildlife, and the different ecosystems we explored added so much depth to our safari. He was patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to explain what we were seeing. His expertise helped us understand not only the animals but also the natural environment and the importance of conservation.
Some of our most memorable moments were the unexpected wildlife encounters, quiet moments surrounded by nature, and watching breathtaking African sunsets. These experiences created memories that we will carry with us for many years to come.
Overall, our time in Tanzania was truly unforgettable. We were impressed by the organization, professionalism, hospitality, and attention to detail throughout the entire journey. Evalina and the team at Wildebeest Footsteps Adventures made our safari a smooth, enjoyable, and memorable experience.
We returned home with wonderful memories, countless photographs, and a much deeper appreciation for the beauty of Tanzania. We would wholeheartedly recommend Wildebeest Footsteps Adventures to anyone looking for an authentic, well organized, and unforgettable African safari adventure.

Great safari with a safe guide, good organization and amazing wildlife experiences.
We had a very good experience with JungleRoam Safaris. Our guide James Gichina was excellent. He drove very safely, was always friendly and told us a lot of interesting things about the animals and the area.
James always listened to our wishes and made sure we had good spots to see the animals. We saw many different animals and really enjoyed the safari.
The communication and organization were good, and the hotels and lodges were also fine and matched our expectations. Everything worked well from start to finish.
We would definitely recommend JungleRoam Safaris and especially James Gichina as a guide. Thank you for a great safari!

Well done organized
James Gichina really was the best driver. He was 100 per cent in control of the Jeep, and whenever an animal was spotted, he’d take any detour, even along the most difficult tracks, to get us as close to it as possible. I don’t know how he managed it, but no matter how many Jeeps were already there, he always got us to the front of the queue. He also turned the long journeys to and from Nairobi into an experience: whilst aiming to reach our destination as quickly as possible, he always kept the car under control. We felt safe at all times. You can tell he has years of experience and knows exactly what he’s doing. He told us everything we wanted to know about the animals, without giving us any unnecessary information. Thanks to him, we saw the Big 5!

Bush Craft Safari was incredibly reliable and organized, and provided an unforgettable experience!
We went on a 7-day safari with Bush Craft Safaris, with Mark as our main guide, and Joe as a guide in training and main driver. The safari itinerary included Rhino trekking, visits to Murchinson Falls National Park and Queen Elizabeth National Park with game drives and boat tours, Chimpanzee trekking, Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and a stay at Lake Bunyonyi, which we thought was an incredible value for the money we paid. The organization and communication before our trip with the operator through Innocent, and our guide Mark, was very reliable and helpful.
This being our first time in Uganda and East Africa, this trip has been unbelievably beautiful, so diverse and exciting, and truly an unforgettable experience, where we really felt like we got to know the great diversity and beauty of the country. Especially the nature and the game drives in Murchinson Falls National Park, where we saw the big 5 and so many additional animals in only two days, as well as the Gorilla trekking experience in Bwindi, where such special highlights of this trip.
Mark was incredibly knowledgeable about the culture and nature of Uganda, sharing countless facts and stories about the country, the different areas we visited, and the local people and traditions. We were also so lucky to have Joe joining this trip as part of his training to become a guide, and were grateful for his incredibly skillful driving through the oftentimes challenging terrain of the country. Being at the end of his training, Joe also had so much knowledge about the country and its nature to share with us. Mark and Joe were also incredible at spotting and tracking down animals during game drives, allowing us to see a number of lions and a leopard during our first two days, as well as countless other animals (Elephants, Giraffes, Buffalos, Hippos, various Antelopes, numerous bird species including the Ugandan Cranes, …).
Mark and Joe also organized various additional activities for us, including a visit to the Equator, tea picking, traditional crafts, and meetings with local communities, which allowed us to learn more about local traditions, customs, and histories. To us, this was a very important element of getting to know the country, especially the opportunity to learn about the history of Bwindi National Park, which included the eviction and displacement of the indigenous communities that originally inhabited the forest, which to this day puts the communities in very precarious circumstances. We really appreciated the possibility to visit these local communities and receive a tour with the Uganda Gifted Children Foundation after visiting Bwindi to learn more about this history and current situation, as well as ways to support them.
Mark was incredibly reliable and organized, always on time, and very friendly, helpful, and forthcoming, making sure we always had what we needed and accommodated for all of our interests and wishes along the journey. He created a great balance of time spent together and time we had alone during meals and activities. Joe was incredibly genuine, friendly, and so funny, and we shared countless great conversations and laughs with him. We are super excited for him to finish his training and become a guide, as he has all the skills and knowledge necessary and more!
We truly appreciate the week spent together and the chance to learn so much from Mark and Joe!
