Experience of a life time!
We recently returned from our first ever safari trip. The whole experience was fantastic. We were very impressed and never a dull moment.
We had the best experience under the care of Walking Stick Safari.
The tent was very comfortable and met all our requirements. The food was excellent and exceeded all our expectations and was pleasantly surprised. The staff was very courteous friendly and accommodating.
We felt that each day was very well planned out in order to maximise the experience. We felt very safe and well taken care of at all times. Phillimon is a very knowledgeable guide and gave us a lot of insight about the animals and birds.
Phillimon made sure we got to take some amazing photos and videos of many wild animals and birds. It was nice to see everything in its own natural habitat without the animals feeling threatened. We managed to see 4 of the BIG 5. No Rhinos unfortunately but in view of how protected they are nowadays its no wonder.
We highly recommend Walking Stick to anyone looking to do a safari. We deliberately chose a small local independent company so we could contribute back to the community. More than glad that we did as the service was excellent and the experience second to none. You will not be disappointed.

GREAT ADVICE AND EXPERIENCE 10/10
I was connected with Walter Kohrs thru Trip Advisor in August of 2017 for a Safari in July of 2018. Walter asked me many questions and wanted to understand what I was looking for before making any recommendations on what part of Africa, budget and type of things my family wanted to do. We decided on South Africa and specifically a Bush Camp in SABI SANDS.
We ended up at Nottens Bush Camp which Walter booked along with Airport Transfers to the lodge. Everything exceeded my expectations... I highly recommend Walter and his excellent knowledge and service he provides.. We traveled from the Orange County Ca with 17 year old twins who were not that excited to go initially . They both LOVED the Safari and the attention to detail provided by Walter and Nottens Camp.

7-day tanzania wildlife safari
My trip started from Tarangire National Park, and ended at Serengeti National Park. Everything went well until the day before my trip ended. We had a flat tire and the our truck was not equipped with proper tools to change a spare tire. So we got help from other guides. The spare tire was not in a good shape. So the next day (last day of our trip) we had another flat ; which turned out to be the spare tire. Now we don't have any spare tire . So I felt unsafe to continue on our game drive for the rest of the day. Not only that, while entering the Serengeti, the fuel tank strap broke thus hanging on one strap all the way. That slowed us down too.
I believe for any company the vehicles should be double checked for basic things such as proper inflation in tires, spare tires in good condition, overall health of the engine , check all the fluids, etc. And last but not the least , tools to change spare tires that are in working order.
