Safari in Botswana
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.

Amazing guide and adventure!
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!

Fantastic Safari, rare sightings and knowledgeable guide
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!

Outstanding. Isa was my guide and did an exemplary job even helping 6 other guides find game !
Again, Outstanding. I did a one day Moremi day trip. I couldn't believe the amount of game we saw. Lions both a pride of 17 and another group of 3 adult males. huge numbers of elephant, giraffe, gazelle, kudu and many other types of small game. We also saw a Jackal, a few Hippo and a leopard stalking some gazelle.
It was a long day. I would recommend if you have the time to do at least a one night camp stay, two if you can afford the time. Its a 5 hour drive back and forth to the park from Maun so you loose a lot of time on the commute. We spent about 7 hours in the park and Isa provided breakfast and lunch. Extremely wild safari's has been around for a while with good reviews. That is why I chose them......you should to !!!

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

Professional Guides are hard to find
Isa at Extremely Wild is a Professional Guide. You can not decide to just be a guide, there are several hard steps you must take in order to be a guide and Botswana's standards are very high. Having worked with some of the best in the business, it is no wonder why this young man has risen through the ranks so fast. Highly competent, super friendly, he can take you on a safari to track wildlife (most fun) and get you in position to take amazing photographs. He understands what people want, and he knows how to get at it.

A wild ride through the African Safari above and beyond expectations!
I and my family (mom, dad, and brother) went on safari through the Okavango Delta in Botswana in June 2018. Our tour guide was Isa Jackson. Isa was an amazing tour guide for his knowledge of the land, animals, and history. He was always cheerful and accommodating. More so he was excited to be on the safari no matter how many times he must have taken the same trip. He was always looking for the best possible experience and photo ops. The crew on the trip was awesome! They cooked, cleaned, set up the tents, brought hot water bottles, made the fires, all with professionalism and happiness. Everyone was a delight on the trip which made experiencing the wild life and nature all the more enjoyable. Extremely Wild Safaris made my experience unforgettable.

All encompassing and unforgettable safari experience with our amazing guide Isa!
My friend and I were looking for an African safari adventure on a budget. Not knowing what to expect going into this, I still had a good feeling from the get-go based on Extremely Wild's reputation and they lived up to it! During our five day tour in Okavango Delta, Isa's friendly demeanor and vast knowledge of the wildlife allowed me to fully immerse in my surroundings and enjoy it all the more.
Aside from being an expert on wildlife and all things Botswana, he positioned the safari jeep in a way best suited for photography whenever we approached anything from common sightings of elephants to more rare sightings of lions. We spotted many animals including hippos, honeybadgers, leopards, giraffes, impalas, monkeys and even wilddogs, etc. After a long day of safari tours, tea breaks and incredible sightings of some of the big five, we would return to our campsite in the evening.
We were really thankful for Isa and Niko helping us out being new to camping. They setup the tents and built a campfire to keep us warm in the winter. Niko would prep the meals in the evenings and bring us together. We sat around the bonfire to exchange stories from our respective countries and learn more about Botswana. These are some of the memories I took back with me and I don't think it would have been the same without Extremely Wild by our side.
I would want all my friends and family to experience what I did in Botswana. I will be sure to get in touch with Extremely Wild when I plan to explore Namibia.

Experienced and friendly guide with a great team. We were always first to the rare sightings.
I had a great time with extremely wild safari's team. Isa was the best guide we had out of 4 guides from various big name lodges (chobe lodge, ongava rented camp, kulala desert Lodge) he had a wealth of knowledge and knew how to track animals better than the rest.
Our tented camp and meals were beyond expectation, a glamping experience to remember.
