Incredible experience which allowed us to see much of the big game we came to see.
Excellent all around. Amazing agency highly recommend. This woman owned business is magnificent all the way. The entire staff was capable and welcoming so much so I not only used them for a safari but an organized trip of Zanzibar. I’ve personally recommended them while in Tanzania and felt important enough to write a review the word could see.

It exceeded all expectations.
The wildlife, including incredible bird species, was almost unreal. Our guide expertly navigated the rough trails to help find the best viewing of so many elephants, giraffes, and zebras. We were fortunate to see all the big 5 plus so many more. 1500 photos were taken and all are amazing. Kenya Walking Survivors Tour group was flexible, professional and made our experience personal. The food at every lodging was delicious and plentiful. Service at the accommodations was over-the-top. Everyone wanted us to enjoy our stay. Our guide customized our tour by arranging for my family to donate school supplies and soccer balls in Massai Mara. We brought them from home to give as gifts, but the gift of joy was all ours.

First class Odyssey Safaris enabled us to see African wildlife in their lovely natural surroundings.
Fun and different and one from our "bucket list"! Everything about this safari exceeded our expectations. We were very impressed with the expert handling of any concerns both before and during the tour. Each day went very smoothly. The lodges where we stayed were really comfortable and delightfully unique with service that was friendly, welcoming, and professional. We appreciated the good food too! We enjoyed the company of all the people in our group [fifteen, including us]. Our very competent driver/guide Simon went out of his way to give both us and the other couple in our land cruiser a great "safari experience" [We loved the land cruiser!] Simon provided us with expert information about the numerous beautiful animals we saw [ the cheetah was one of our favorites], with plenty of photo opportunities, as well as information about Kenya in general. We learned a lot. He made plenty of "comfort" stops along the way and time to souvenir shop! We thoroughly enjoyed the well-planned optional activities : the Masai village in Amboseli, the boat ride on Lake Naivasha, and the elephant orphanage in Nairobi [where we "adopted" a baby elephant]. This was a great and unforgettable experience. Thank you!

Unforgettable safari in Botswana
I spent 6 days in Botswana with my family. First we did a safari in Khwai Concession where there was the tented campsite and then in Xobega island on the Okavango Delta. Everything has been very well organized. Our guides were very professional and nice, they showed us all the beauties of wild nature and shared with us many stories about nature and wild animals.
It has been such an amazing experience. I strongly recommend it!

Thank you Ruan & Federica for hosting me in Africa
It was my first Africa vacation. At first I had concerns if it is safe there. But with Ruan and Federica I always felt safe. They gave me an unforgettable holiday and showed me a lot of land and people. I will never forget the 3.5 weeks. Thank you Ruan and Federica and best recommendation from Germany.

Unforgettable and Fantastic Time, No Complaints!
Everything was very straightforward. The booking with Mama Savana was simple, the pickup/drop-offs with our driver were well communicated and flexible, there was no stress. There were changes to our accommodations after they were booked, but the new places were comparable or better than the originals and we were notified of the changes in advance of our trip. Our driver, Novatus Joseph, was extraordinary. He was fun and extremely knowledgeable. He would communicate what our day would generally look like, but inquire to interests and plan accordingly (longer lunches, this animal > that animal, etc). I can't recommend him enough. We also wanted to visit an area that was not on the regular tour and they easily worked out the details and added to our plan. I have only good things to say!

full of amazing experiences
Generally everything went to plan. Foot Slopes Tours & Safaris were prompt to reply to emails before the safari and very helpful while in Arusha. Our driver and guide, Kindu, was polite, helpful and knowledgeable. Our accommodation was comfortable and the food was tasty. Even when we were help up in Ngorongoro with a torrential downpour the experience was amazing. If I had made list before I came, all the boxes would have been ticked. It does pay to remember that it is Africa, relax and enjoy and keep a sense of humour.
They were extremely helpful with some of my other failed travel arrangements, sorted out my new bus ticket.
Great job.

Fantastic Safari tour with a personal touch!
Thank you so much Sam for a marvelous Safari tour! :)
You promised to do your best for us to see all big fives - and you managed!!!
Bushdrifters are excellent went it comes to Safari tour! We reached them through some friends who has been riding with them.
We don't regret one minut - though I caught so much as I never have done before, because of the dust!
Our driver Sam was super:) The driver picked you up at the airport and return youto the airport after the Safari. You don't need to take care of anything! Just marvelous:) We had five days with four nights. This was perfekt!
We went to three parks. Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro krater. Four days in parks. We stayed in two very nice and comfort lodges the first and last nights. In Serengeti we stayed in a camp lodge for two nights. That was a new and very nice experience. You will hear some animals during the night but no worry! Big and comfortable tents. Everyone in the camp have dinner at 19:30 and after that you are so tired that you will sleep at 21:00:)
You have a your own car with a driver who also is your guide. He also takes care of water and lunch every day. Mostly you pick your own things for lunch.
We did not bring any binoculars but we mist it. So please don't forget it.
Remember you will drive many many miles but you will love it!!!!
We loved the arrangement for our visit and everything went very smooth. Thank you Bush Drifters! We will come back to you and we already recommend you to some friends!
