Excellent experience. Months in advance, we planned a route together with Dan. He's very helpful
Obviously, spending time with a family of gorillas was spectacular, but so were the chimpanzees.

This operator is professional, attentive and trustworthy beyond words
I cannot praise this East Africa local ground team enough for organizing our dream safari across Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Masai Mara. Every single detail was carefully planned in advance; communication was clear and quick long before we arrived in Africa.
Our dedicated guide is the highlight of the whole trip. With decades of experience on the savanna, he could spot hidden predators long before other vehicles. He explained every species’ living habits, local tribal history and conservation work vividly, bringing the wild grassland to life. He maintained safe driving at all times, respected wildlife distance rules, and always put our comfort first. Whether we wanted to chase migration herds or pause for sunset sundowners, he adjusted plans willingly.
All camps and lodges selected by the team matched our budget and preferences perfect...

Trustworthy and efficient.
Hi Wildeebeast. We don't usually leave reviews but the people of Tanzania and all your team have won over our hearts and provided an exceptional customer focused service going above and beyond.
All of our holiday itinerary was well organised. Erick was professional, kept us informed, answered all of our questions leading up to the holiday and in person is very friendly.
Hasheem one of our guides for the day was impeccable at his job, a credit to the company, to the people of Tanzania, showing genuine passion, kaka Joel and Madadi too!
The biggest thank you to our tour guide John who kept us comfortable, did not rush us and was very patient with us when my Malkia felt ill requiring later starts, multiple breaks and the itinerary rescheduling. You'll miss out if your safari isn't assisted by John.
Best price sought and being a newer company they really care - thank you Wildeebeast

If you're after an authentic Botswana experience book with Sox
My partner and I recently finished a 6 day trip with Sox and it really was such a special experience.
Sox was an exceptional guide throughout our six days in Botswana. His local knowledge is unmatched, and he’s also a fantastic travelling companion. He also has a brand new vehicle which is always a nice bit of security knowing you won't break down in such remote places. With his help, we saw an incredible range of wildlife, including cheetahs, wild dogs, lions, hippos and buffalo, as well as hundreds of elephants, giraffes and other plains game.
His colleagues, Maps and Obs, were equally impressive – providing outstanding support, preparing fantastic meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and setting up excellent campsites each day. How Maps prepared a three course meal each night on those camp stoves is beyond me.
We transferred onto Victoria Falls afterwards and Sox made sure to connect us with the team before our transfer so it all worked seamlessly as we had a flight that same afternoon.
Botswana itself is an extraordinary country, and we’re already planning to return to explore the Kalahari (hopefully with Sox again). We would wholeheartedly recommend travelling with him to anyone looking to experience the real Botswana.

Very patient and careful
My guide was Derek. He’s incredibly experienced, patient and attentive. He took me to witness rare sights such as the wildebeest river crossings and cheetahs hunting. He also helped me take photos, and promptly mediated with the hotel when I was unhappy with the accommodation. All in all, Derek is an excellent guide, and I’m really satisfied with the whole safari experience.

Top Notch Operator - Best Planner and Drivers
Shanjoy - 5 stars all the way! Our safari started with the meticulous planning from Rodah. She was amazingly responsive, offered ideas to customize our itinerary that covered Mara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro crater by road. Shanjoy was able to secure some great lodges at better prices than direct booking. She worked very hard to make this a great trip, including finding us two amazing guides that fit our desires to maximize time in the bush. Thank you Rodah!
Stephen, our Mara driver was amazing. His vehicle was clean and well maintained. Stephen was great at finding unique ways to explore the entirety of Mara in 3 bush days. We saw the Big 5 on our first arrival game drive and the rest was all bonus finding the animals hunting, feeding, and up as close as the roads would allow. Stephen knew just where to position the vehicle every time for the best photos. He was very active with the other guides to find the best spots. Stephen was kind and always sought ways to share his knowledge. Highly recommended!!
Elly, was our guide in Tanzania. We covered lots of territory to find the great migration and found it! Elly was always willing share his knowledge and be patient waiting for the scenes to unfold. He made sure we were taken care of at every camp and spent nice full days in the bush. He knew just how to plan out our days with sunrises in the morning drive and sunsets arriving at the lodge. Not a minute waisted. So many animals even elusive leopards!
Shanjoy was top notch! Our groups experienced ranged from newbies to those with 3 countries and 3 safaris under their belt and all around 5 star rating!!!
