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!

Super friendly staff and service minded. Very good safari experience
Staff was service minded and even picked us up in the airport a few days before the safari started. Safari was very good and we saw all the animals. Safari driver was very good at explaining about the animals, however he had a couple of technical issues with the car, which resulted in delays. Overall recommendable.

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.

Very good Experience!
It was a very good safari. Mr. James was very responsive, always provided quick feedback at the stage of booking and he came personally to pick us from the airport. Safari was organized very well and made some good friends. Our driver was great - special thanks...

Do you see a trend? Sylvester and his staff were outstanding. When one comes to Africa on a Safari, you want it to be the best. Our expectations far exceeded our wildest dreams. Not only was the safari incredible, but Sylvester and Steve will be our friends for life.
Thank you for making this a phenomenal experience!

Professional Safari, safe driver, fantastic company
Just returned from Kenya after 13 fantastic days on Safari with "Seven by Far" and have nothing but praise for the company. Sylvester the owner has created a special company that is very customer focused and they delivered everything they promised and more on the safari, from the quality of the lodgings in each safari tour to the safari experience. Also a special mention to Victor our Safari driver and guide for his safe driving and knowledgeable tours.

Joke of a tour operator - Avoid at all cost!!! Complete lack of safety
Horrible experience - MG met us at the border between Zimbabwe and Botswana - took our money and luggage and then was supposed to pick us up at a certain time after we visited Victoria Falls. They were late in picking us up. Then we had a lovely time in Chobe National Park, which was the only positive experience with them. As soon as we started our camping safaris - one disaster after another. We rode in an open safari vehicle at high speed for 3-4h to get to the dirt road leading to Savuti. We then got to the game reserve gate 90 minutes after its closing time and then drove at night! (strictly forbidden) for another 5h to find our campsite - the guide could not find the camp - we were scared, tired, frustrated, cold and hungry. Second day, we were on a game drive and our driver went offroad and took us within 15m of a pride of lions. He stopped the engine and then the car would not start again. We were completely exposed and luckily another safari vehicle came and pulled our car out. The driver would never fill up the car’s gas tank so we were left without gas at one point in Kalahari, without water. Driver had to abandon the car and us to go in search of help - no cell phone signal. At no time we were told how long the drives would take to get from one place to the next and they notoriously underestimated the durations. We never made it in time to any of the game reserve gates. We were exposed to unsafe trip conditions on more than one occasion. Driver and his safari vehicle were subcontracted by MG and each one blamed the other for all the mishaps. Absolutely horrific.

Excellent experience with CATS Africa
It was an wonderfull 3 days in Masai mara along with Jack. We have enjoyed the over all trip and many thanks to Jack for showing us the big five. He is a nice, friendly person and have good knowledge over the forest. Also I will mention about Sekanani Camp where we stayed. Camp area designed very well. Accomodation, service and foods are perfect beyond expectations. We finished our program taking dinner Nairobi's best restaurant Carnivore that experince was totaly perfect. Finally, I appreciate Mrs joyce who always supported us through timely communications and advices to make it a successful trip. I will recommend to go ahead with this team to get the smell of Africa.
