A phantastic experience with a unique guide
For the background: Our trip with Lucas was a '21 Nights Tailor Made Trip', just for the two of us, leading us to Ntwetwe Pan, Nxai Pan, Tsodilo, Moremi, Kwai, Savuti, and Chobe River front starting in Maun and ending in Kasane.
Once we finished our joint planning, Lucas wrote in an email 'this journey will change your life' - and it did! Lucas guided us as guests into the realm of the wild animals of Botswana so that we felt close and welcome. With his extensive experience and profound knowledge of the entire fauna and flora he both taught and entertained us, but most memorable of all, he led us to many overwhelming encounters with fascinating animals both big and small, including all the iconic safari mammals, but also rare species like wild dogs, many birds, and more. These encounters felt new, surprising, and somehow even more exciting every day.
Our game drives usually started from and ended at our tent camps, where Lucas and his team, Mosa (the chef), Monametsi and Gisto, pampered us in every conceivable way and in a warm-hearted, almost family-like atmosphere. Delicious food and drinks, perfect camping facilities for the bush, very professional organization, and not to forget the smiles and laughter complemented our phantastic game drive experiences.

Lucas and his team have prepared the perfect safari. The organization and service worked flawlessly.
Lucas organised an individual perfect safari for 11 nights in Botswana and 2 nights in Zimbabwe.Everything worked from the pick up at Maun airport to the farewell at Victoria Falls airport. Also his team was well prepared, everything worked properly. The chef did incredible things. Overall, the safari was a great success and we can recommend it to everyone.
Best Safari Ever!
Lucas was absolutely incredible from start to finish. He was very responsive and easy to communicate with and made preparing for the safari so easy by sharing lots of really useful tips including a packing list. The safari itself actually exceeded my expectations (and I had relatively high expectations of Botswana)! Our safari vehicle was much better than any others we saw on safari. It's got some great modifications which make it perfect for photography! Plus, Lucas' team was fantastic. Our chef, Mosa, was a culinary genius and his food was so delicious. The rest of the team really went out of their way to ensure we had a comfortable time mobile camping. The tents were also fantastic with comfy beds. Onto the safari, Lucas is an exceptional guide. He knows everything about the flora and fauna of Botswana and is really fantastic at tracking and understanding their behaviour. We saw every animal that we wished to see and more. My wish-list was wild dogs and leopards and we had incredible sightings of both! Wild For Game Safaris was absolutely amazing and I'd feel confident recommending them to anyone who wishes to go on safari in Botswana. I can't wait to come back and go on another safari with Lucas!

An amazing experience with a knowledgeable guide and a great team
This trip was everything I wanted. Lucas and his team put together an amazing experience with great wildlife viewing, comfortable tents, delicious meals, and wonderful hospitality. Lucas, the owner and our guide, is deeply knowledgeable and offered clear, thoughtful interpretation of what we were seeing. He is clearly passionate about providing a first-rate experience, and we felt we were in good hands from beginning to end. For photographers like me, he was attentive to lighting and scene composition, often putting us at just the right spot for a great shot. The tents are spacious and the bedding is warm, and we enjoyed staying in camps amidst the wildlife. Food was plentiful and delicious, and I appreciated that all food and drinks (including beer, wine, and G&Ts) were included in the price (many tours charge extra for drinks and exclude some meals). I will definitely call on Lucas again when I go back to Botswana.

Best Botswana Safari
My wife and I went on safari with Lucas and his crew back in August 2021, and it was without question one of the best things we have ever done. We can't speak highly enough of Lucas. His passion for wildlife and conservation is second to none, and because he is an amazing photographer himself, he always stops at exactly the right spots and angles for you to get stunning pictures of the wildlife. He also excelled at providing a personalized experience for everyone in the group; some people wanted to see birds, others wanted the big game, one person even wanted to see bush babies. Lucas informed them that bush babies would be tough to spot, but he would do his best.. Lo and behold, Lucas found her some bush babies in an evening drive!! It was an absolutely amazing experience.
In addition to his exceptional safari guide skills, he is an amazing person to be around, genuinely funny and charismatic! I cannot recommend Lucas enough, and the bush camping safari provides a way to see the animals up close and personal that a traditional safari camp can't provide. The accommodations were perfect and the food was awesome, especially considering the limited equipment that the chef has to work with!
We thought that this trip was our once in a lifetime trip, but it was so amazing that we will definitely be back to see Lucas!!
Thanks Lucas,
Alex and Taylor
