Amazing guide and adventure!
5/5

Isa Jackson was our safari guide and he was amazing! My sister, myself, and parents undertook our trip starting at Maun and had game drives throughout Chobe as well as Moremi game reserve. It was an amazing experience and we were able to see lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, hippos, African wild dogs, crocodiles, hawks, baboons, vervet monkeys, and many different birds. With the lions, we were able to be within ten feet, which was frightening to say the least.

Although seeing the animals was a great experience, what sets any safari apart is the guide. Extremely Wild Safaris has a great guide in Isa. He is very knowledgeable of animal behavior, scientific understanding of the geological processes taking place in the Okavango Delta, and has a great ability to track and find animals. An enthusiastic guide, he made our wonderful trip truly once and a lifetime. Thank you!

Safari in Botswana
5/5

We have organised this trip directly with Isa. He turned out to be very professional and the trip was a true adventure. Would definitely recommend him and his team for a really unique Safari Experience away from the mainstream.

Fantastic Safari, rare sightings and knowledgeable guide
5/5

Extremely Wild Safaris are first class in all aspects. We had 2 days, 1 night in the Okavango and in this time our Guide, Isa Jackson, with his in depth knowledge of the land scape and animal patterns found us 2 leopards, 2 lions, hunting wild dogs, a serval cat, banded mongoose as well as all the usual elephants, hippos, hyenas, giraffes, zebras etc.

He has the most in depth knowledge of every animal, their movements and behaviours as well as the landscape. We felt completely safe camping in the wilderness with his guidance.

A wonderful feast including game meat was provided for us to eat under the stars.

This is our second tour with Extremely Wild Safaris with Isa as our guide and we will continue to use their services on our trips to Africa.

If you’re looking for knowledge and service then Extremely Wild Safaris will cater for you!

Cannot recommend highly enough!

Thank you Isa!

The perfect guide for photography enthusiasts and people on budget.
5/5

oing on a safari trip in Botswana can be rather pricey especially when your travel dates were not flexible and you couldn't join a group tour. My friend and I were on a budget but thankfully we were redirected by other travel agency to extremely wild and I am grateful!
I am thankful that despite our budget Isa, our guide, did not short change us anything. He had a campsite helper/cook to follow us around on our 5days camping trip. Having zero experience in camping I am glad Isa had done so. Our cook, Nico, was amazing. I am amazed at how he managed to whip out some out of this world tasty food, you will forget you're camping.

As for our guide, Isa, I have nothing but high praises. He was extremely passionate about his work and always strife for customer satisfaction. I learned later that he is actually a guide instructor so for the money I am paying I got a tour guide instructor showing me around. If you are a photography enthusiast Isa knows how to get the best angle and lighting (something I took for granted at first until after I got another guide somewhere else and was frustrated for missing out on great shots because the guide didn't know when to stop moving the truck or how to position the truck). Isa was also really fun and easy to talk to which is very important because this is the person you're stuck with for the entire camping trip.

I had such an amazing and unforgettable trip thanks to Extremely Wild. I will definitely use them again when I go to Namibia in the future.
