Very professional, very caring.
Thirty four adults arrived from Canada to begin a twelve day safari, the majority of us, our first. Bushland met us at the airport and from that point until we were dropped back off at the airport to go home, we were in the best of hands. Didimus and his five drivers not only showed us all the animals we would ever want to see in Africa, but also educated us on their behaviours. The drives were wonderful and at all times of day to see the different behaviour of the animals.
I never imagined I would be in a lodge in Africa, listening to lions roar at night, hyenas cackle, yet feel safe!! We had a lot of laughs as a group and got to know one another. Many hours before and after dinners exchanging stories over a beverage.
People ask what my favourite animal was, but it is hard to compare. I would say the question should be what was your best sighting of the day, as each day brought something new.
Thank you so much to Bushlands for a wonderful experience.

Better than we could imagine!
Diane arranged the entire vacation, and everything worked out perfectly. Every driver was early, the lodges were better than we could have hoped and the guides and trackers were on top of their game (literally and figurately). She was available for questions both leading up to the vacation, during and even once we got back. She was professional and set up the perfect trip. Not only do i plan to use their services again, but highly recommend them to everyone looking for the perfect safari getaway.

A reliable, punctual, flexible and allover excellent tour company.
We had a fabulous safari with Gilibert as our dedicated tour guide. We had the four day full package Big 5 Budget tour which filled all our expectations. We asked the company for some alterations, including an extra night at a hotel in Arusha due to the flight connection, and they were most accommodating.
Our excellent guide Gilibert was always happy, and with a smile he drove our family very securely and smoothly. He managed to spot all animals we wanted to see including a rhino and lions! He had much information to share about all animals, the culture, and he really made everything to make it The best experience for all the family.
The accommodations during the tour were very nice and clean, we especially liked Eileen's Trees Inn with its lovely gardens and great food.
To conclude it was everything we had hoped for in a Safari, a memory for a lifetime!

Wonderful Safari in Mikumi
Thanks a lot to Abdul from African-Connect for a very well organized safari to Mikumi!
Starting with an easy pickup, I enjoyed the smooth 3 days with a nice stay in the lodge and an exciting game drive within the park.

Excellent service and tour guide!
Our group loved the the whole trip. The driver/tour guide Sami was very informative and communicative and gave a lot of insight on Kenya's social and cultural context.
We booked the 2D1N safari and very lucky, we saw a lot of wildlife animals, from herds of elephants (more than fifty of them!), cheetah momma and puppies, lion and lionesses, giraffes, dazzles of zebras, flamingos, and others!

Great reliable flexible operator with the best tour guide possible - a fantastic safari experience!
We booked a safari adventure (Big 5 budget tour) for our family of five, and got a fantastic experience! 'Full package adventures' were quick to answer communication, were flexible and could include an extra hotel night upon request. Everything worked out so smoothly from the moment they picked us up at the airport - it really was a full package adventure. Hotels were great, especially Eileens with beautiful surroundings and great food. We had the most excellent tour guide ever, Gilibert - so knowledgeable generous and kind, a great driver and skilled at tracking and spotting animals. He gave us so much interesting information, about animals, culture etc which really amplified the experience, giving us the most amazing safari tour. We saw so many animals, much more up close than I had hoped for, and we even got to see the Rhino! We are all so happy and content with this safari tour and highly recommend it!

The best
I travelled with a family group of nine in two vehicles provided by Origin Wildlife Safaris on a six-day safari across three different camps in Tanzania. The tour was exceptional, but what truly made the experience unforgettable were our drivers. They were wonderful people who joked and laughed with the family, and it felt like they enjoyed the trip as much as we did. Jonathan and Nelson as we came to know them, greatly enhanced our safari making it a truly memorable one.
We felt so safe and cared for the entire time. They really care about their clients and employees and i have never met nicer people. They were not only great company but also consistently punctual and reliable. Origin Wildlife is an excellent all round safari operator.
