Wilson Shange was an exceptional and attentive guide. We highly recommend his services.
Duma Explorer Guide Wilson Shange was tremendous. We spent 5 days with him in May. He was very well informed about the area and the wildlife. He is also very well known with numerous contacts in the Arusha area. He is very easy going, thoughtful and extremely helpful and accommodating.
Even prior to our safari, he was accessible and extremely helpful. Two days before our safari, a member of our group needed emergent medical attention. He contacted Shange (his preferred name) who then traveled to the hotel, talked with our companion, suggested (an excellent) hospital, arranged for transportation and then communicated with the hospital staff. When I arrived at the hospital, I was shocked when I learned that Shange was our safari guide. However, I soon learned that this was the type of attention, service and accommodation Shange would provide during our tour.
The safari itself seems to have been from a different world. Being in such close proximity to such magnificent animals and to watch and study their actions and behavior was surreal.
This was our first safari so I can't compare with a safari in the dry season but I felt like we saw a wide variety of wildlife. Maybe not as many animals as in the dry season but the advantage seemed that we often alone. We watched a pack of elephants for about 20 minutes before another safari tour came by and we had an encounter with a lone unruly male elephant for about 15 minutes. That was priceless.
Again, I would highly recommend Shange Wilson and Duma Explorer.

Put this on your bucket list
We went at the end of March to arrive in rain - a bit of a shock! First safari drive challenging in terms of weather but such an experience. The sighting of a beautiful leopard melted my heart!! Weather did improve and sightings of animals on the drive were wonderful. After safari, garden route, national forests, beautiful scenery. Cape Town and peninsula beyond beauty.
A visit is a must. Wonderful food and wine and so reasonably priced.

Fantastic Tour!!!
My partner and I chose the 8 day Amazing Northern Tanzania. We are 32 and 28 years old. We could not be happier with our experience!
We have traveled a lot of the world and Europe, and this Tanzanian experience is by far the BEST travel experience we have both ever had. We chose the camping option, and felt very close to the wildlife both in game drives and off game drives. Camping was the real deal. We highly recommend!
Camping in the Serengeti was an unforgettable experience. Thanks to Anwa (our guide) and Freddie (our chef) for taking such good care of us at all times. Anwa went above and beyond to ensure we saw the big 5, the best views, and as many animals as possible big or small. Anwa was extremely knowledgeable. You just need to do this tour! There are no words.
Freddie served us amazing food breakfast, lunch and dinner. Absolutely delicious. Freddie makes the best soup we’ve both ever tasted!!
Both Anwa and Freddie are fantastic communicators and this experience was beyond anything we could ever expected. Tanzanian scenery is simply breathtaking, and our tour were in complete awe of the animals and how close we were to them.
Thank you Foot Slopes, Anwa and Freddie for taking such good care of us!

Definitely a must see on your bucket list
Namibia is a barren country with vast expanses and a small population. The sheer size of desolateness leads to an eerie beauty that cannot be captured in photographs and humbles one with an almost frightening sense of mortality.
The tour was awesome and our guide Gideon was excellent. Gideon slaved from before sunrise to well after sunset to make our trip as comfortable as possible. The roads are rough and travelling times are long so a good guide is essential to break the monotony of the "African massage". Food was plentiful and the menus well thought out with Gideon cooking most of the meals over an open fire. The couple of restaurant meals were good. We did not see any of the "big five" wild animals but buck, birds and flora were in abundance. The trip to Na'ankuse just outside Windhoek to see the endangered carnivores was well worth it. Coming from South Africa wildlife was not our priority though. Accommodation on the tour was 3-4 star but in Windhoek I would only give it 2 stars. You need to research the accommodation in Windhoek else book your own.

safaris with kids - organised adventure and no problem at all!
We have been on safari with Bush and Game several times. the most recent trip with our two children (3 and 7 years) was a proper bush safari. but even in basic camping facilities, the B&G team arranged and provided everything we needed to enjoy the stay and the adventure. in all our safaris, we enjoyed that B&G took care of us, from customer relations, custom making our itineraries and booking, to the drivers and cooks, everyone was very friendly and helpful. we will book with B&G again! and again! :)

Wonderfull
South Africa is so beautiful it’s hard not to have a good time, especially if you love nature and animals. Everything is very clean, the people are polite and there is lots to see. I would highly recommend a visit.
An excellent holiday choice for Zimbabwe travel
I couldn’t recommend 'Experience Africa Safaris' more highly. This is an excellent tour company, that will organize trips to suit your interests and budget. They arranged superb accommodation, reliable car transfers, and connected me with a 'Natureways' canoeing trip to Mana Pools. Debbie from 'Experience Africa' prepared an action packed 2 week itinerary that resulted in a very enjoyable and diverse holiday.
