Delivering the magic of East Africa
Our Team at Fisherman's Camp and The Rift Valley festival on Lake Naivasha have been sending our clients on Safari with Issac for many years now. None are disappointed with the quality of the Safaris on offer, the service delivered and the unique, as well as vast knowledge of Issac himself. We can only highly recommend anyone to Eco-Bushman Safaris. Happy journeys guys!

Fantastic tour of Amboseli
My friend and I took the overnight tour from Nairobi to Amboseli National Park in March. We were picked up from our hotel in Nairobi by our tour guide George and spent the next two days exploring the park. George was the best tour guide we could have asked for--extremely knowledgeable about the area and animals and very clearly loved his job. He taught us so much about Kenya and the local wildlife. We saw elephants, wildebeest, gazelle, zebras, giraffes, cape buffalo, hippos, birds of all kinds amongst other things. We also could see beautiful Mount Kilimanjaro from the park and our lodge at Kilima Camp.
It was a very peaceful experience since it wasn't crowded at the park or the camp, so we could actually hear all the sounds the animals were making as they went about their lives and we could intimately experience this amazing part of the country, which was perfect for two city girls who don't get a lot of time out in nature. Ideally we would have taken a longer safari and toured other parks, but our schedule didn't allow us to do that this time, but we very well might come back since we had a truly incredible time in Kenya, both on this tour and otherwise.
All of my dealings with the Natural World were pleasant and easy as well, so I highly recommend this tour company and Kilima Camp. Everything exceeded my expectations, and anyone would be lucky to get George as their guide. He really was the reason it was such a success.

Tanzanian experience.
My son and I travelled with Bestday Safaris last year to lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti
The trip was absolutely memorable.We drove up north to see the herds of wildebeest on the move towards the Masai Mara in Kenya. There are so many wonderful moments to choose from, but having lunch with the herds....them chomping on grass, us chomping on sandwiches, looking at each other...absolutely priceless.Rates and service we received were excellent and should I travel back to Tanzania, then I would only go with Best day....any day.

More than exceed expectations!
My wife and I booked our safari last minute. After extensive research we chose Northern Circuit, and we're glad we did. We saw so much wildlife. So much more than we thought. We knew it was low season, but wanted to give it a chance. It turned out to be the best decision as we felt like we had more of the parks to ourselves.
Gabriel was such a great cook and friendly. We have been traveling for months, and I actually gained weight on the 5 day safari because we ate so well!
Eliasi is a great guide and a great person. In fact I would consider both of them friends at this point. We had so much fun with them, laughing and trying to find all the animals! I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone!

Great trip from start to finnish!
We started by asking for quotes from several safari organisers. From the start, Peter's approach was outstanding. As we looked for budget/mid-range safari, just for two people, this was beyond our expectations. Accommodation was more mid-range than budget in all four places. Our driver Robin was fantastic. Full of information about the animals and nature, but also gave us room to enjoy it in our own space. Everything worked out really smoothly, we did not need to worry about anything. The whole experience was amazing and thanks go to Peter & Robin!

Walter replied to each and every email almost instantly making planning and execution a dream.
Our holiday went with out a hitch; all means of transport both self-drive in Namibia and Cessna throughout Botswana were seamless. All accommodation and service exceeded expectations with the exception of Kalahari Red Dunes Lodge. We had some very good animal experiences including seeing lions mating and watching a lioness with 3 little cubs at very close proximity, but there were also stretches of time in which no animals were sighted which probably relates to our choice of when and where to go.

Issac Ouma an amazing guide
WE met Isaac in Kenya. We were interested in Birding as well as animals but had little budget.
Ouma's knowledge of not only the birds we wanted to sight butactually where each specimen could be sighted amazed us. Everytime we saw a bird he would flip the page on our bird book and thus give us posetive identification. We walked amongst many animals with his guidance.
In ten years of doing nothing but looking for the world’s birds Isaac Ouma is the most dedicated birding and animal guide we have enjoyed. He is as capable of organising a 3 country all inclusive luxury safari with air-conditioned vehicles, the best hotels or , chefs, food and wines as he is in organising a budget four day safari.
His only wish is that his clients return home glowing with knowledge of his Kenya and its wildlife.
We highly recommend him. Now we will return to Isaac in 2014 with our grandchildren

An unforgettable bush experience- hidden and undervalued
Meru was the Africa debut for my husband and me. We initially looked into Meru because of my childhood dream of visiting Elsa's(Born Free) home. Every review that we read, only assured us of a brilliant experience. Truth be told, Meru never disappointed us.
From the time that we boarded our flight from Nairobi (the whole flight to us!!), to receiving warm welcomes at the Offbeat Meru camps after every single game drive.. it was an experience that we won't forget for a long time.
Wildlife: We went looking with low expectations. Because of the thick bush, it is definitely not as easy spotting wildlife here as in the Mara. However, we had seen the big five within 20 hours of landing.
Birdlife: I am not a "birder", but my head started spinning as I tried to keep up with all the zillion beautiful varieties that our guide spotted for us. Another thing that we noticed(and liked) was that the wildlife was still "wild" in Meru. Unlike the Mara, most animals try not to come too close to vehicles. Apparently, because of fewer stay options in the park, the animals don't see as many humans around.
Stay: Offbeat Meru was a very warm and welcoming setup. Food was great, and the tents were located to ensure tons of privacy to everyone. I personally enjoyed the bonfire in the evenings, followed by dinner under the most beautiful starry skies.
Guides: The guides at Offbeat Meru were all Silver ranked, and I believe that one of them was going to sit for his Gold exam very soon. If you've been on a safari before, you would know how important it is to have a good guide. Dominic, our guide, was brilliant! He even spotted a python that had just swallowed an impala.. Beat that!!
We also visited the Mara, and that was extraordinary. But somewhere, that cosy and very private feel that Meru offered.. it made a special little place in my heart!

Very good safari trip.
Safari with Kili Slope Tours and Safaris was incredible ! We had a very good and knowledgeable guide/ driver David Maro. He is very pleasant and cheerful man. Hi knew a lot about animals and plants and birds and was very attentive to us. He would stop the car whenever he saw us trying to take pictures from the windows and would wait patiently. The campsites had showers and toilets. I was impressed with the presence of hot water and relative cleanness in the middle of nowhere! We spotted all the animals .I would definitely recommend doing safari with Kili Slope Tours and safaris for its reasonable price, individual approach, attention to details and most of all professionalism in everything .
