Fine Bush Tours delivers an exceptional, immersive safari experience with expert guides.
I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a safari in Botswana with Fine Bush Tours, and I must say, the experience exceeded all expectations, especially considering how last-minute the trip was organized. Their communication was excellent from the very beginning—responsive, clear, and accommodating to all my requests despite the short notice.
The service throughout the tour was top-notch. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and the region, making each stop feel like a well-curated experience. We visited some fantastic locations that were not overcrowded, allowing for an intimate encounter with nature. The timing and logistics of the tour were seamless, a testament to the company's reliability.
In terms of value for money, Fine Bush Tours really delivered. The pricing was very reasonable, especially for such a personalized and well-executed trip. I truly felt like I was getting more than what I paid for, both in terms of service quality and the richness of the safari itself.
Overall, Fine Bush Tours provided a memorable, well-organized adventure, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a genuine and hassle-free safari experience in Botswana.

Fine Bush Tours is the epitome of exceptional service.
Our trip to Sable Alley was nothing short of amazing, thanks to Fine Bush Tours. From the start, their service was top-notch. The agent was incredibly nice, engaging, and welcoming, making the booking process a breeze. Prices were very affordable, and the value was outstanding. They arranged transportation to and from Sable Alley, and the vehicle provided was spotless and comfortable. We were also impressed with the secure parking arranged for our car in Maun. Fine Bush Tours truly went above and beyond to ensure our safari was perfect. Highly recommend them for anyone looking to explore the Okavango Delta!

Exceptional
I knew Fine Bush tours since 2021. Their service is exceptional and the operators are professional. As their client they made constant communication with me during my trips and made sure i am safe and comfortable during the entire time ( quotation stage until the day i returned from vacation).They recommended best hotels,transportation and activities. Fine Bush Tours are reliable and always a step ahead should their client encounter any challenge. I used them during my trips to the okavango delta, Egypt and Dubai just to mention a few. All the trips were worth it and exceeded my expectations.

Friendly, efficient, attentive and very responsive to queries.
Right from the outset, Ihani was easy to contact, helpful and friendly. She was flexible and able to change our arrangements and suggest alternatives when needed. When we arrived in Maun at both ends of our safari she (and her very friendly family!) was there to meet us and to ensure that we felt looked after and to help us with our many questions and to assist us with the arrangements and where to go.
My one issue with Fine Bush Tours was that payment could only be made in advance by direct bank transfer. Although this worked well, it takes a lot of trust to send a large amount of money across the world to a small company in this way. I would hope that credit card payments could be accepted in the near future, to give a level of security.

Thanks for the review and hope to see you in future again. As for the credit card payment, we managed to sort that up and clients can pay using credit card

Incredible. Ihani took care of everything for us from flight to transfers.
Working with Fine Bush Tours was top-notch. We visited three lodges, and the entire trip gave us a broad and rich experience of the Okavango Delta. The trip was beyond my wildest dreams. The lodges, food, and staff were incredible. We always felt that we were in the know with all the details regarding the trip and safari. We saw every animal that was on our list and then some. The entire experience was organized with complete precision. I can't recommend this experience and company enough. Although beware, once you go to the Okavango Delta, you will spend your life missing the Okavango Delta! Thank you, Ihani for an incredible trip!

Amazing ✨
Used Fine Bush for my first delta experience in 2020 for Qorokwe and I was hooked. Had to have them arrange another experience for December 2021 and I was mind blown still.
The agent was in touch with making my experiences awesome every step of the way, never leaving anything to chance or my asking/complaining! What I find even more amazing is that she made sure that she gets to know my preferences and that of my family and make suggestions accordingly.
I have come to rely on my agent even for business trips!
The agent is always there to receive me or see me off. The proactiveness is off the charts, ensuring that my trip is stress free, especially that I’m often traveling with my minor kids.
I most appreciate that the agent works within my budget and negotiating deals for me!✨
