My two friends and I went on a 5 days safari with Bushwide safaris. The people working there are great, and the safari was perfect. The vehicles are very luxury and clean especially the pickup vehicle from he airport was so nice, we really didn’t expect such treatments, on safari we had a 7 seater jeep just for the three of us fully equipped with all the necessities. We saw all the animals we wanted to see, and our driver Danny told us lots of facts about nature and all the animals we saw. We have been on safari to some countries in Africa but Bushwide in Tanzania outranked all of them. Thank you so much Kunda and all of the team for your royal treatment- will use this safari company next time too. We highly recommend you guys…

My first safari experience was indeed a wonder, we have visited Serengeti park and Ngorongoro Crater as planned, and National park Tarangire, which was not originally in the plan, but the company changed it according to updates on animal quantity, which we were very grateful for! Tarangire NP was great, even though its area is relatively small, the richness of wildlife was enormous, and number of elephants was the highest I have ever seen!!!We were very grateful for the services of our guide Mark, who was very helpful and always did everything he could for us to have the best pictures and told us many interesting things about the area and the animals we saw.We also had our cook to prepare meals for us everyday, which was very nice. Since we have chosen the budget safari, this was quite, what we have been expecting. Together with the one rainy night in Serengeti made the day really an adventure, which was not super pleasure.However, as I was saying, the animals and the nature were so stunning, that we were able to go through everything. Thanks to Bushwide African safaris team for their best effort in shaping this outstanding memory.

We had a fantastic time on safari in Tanzania with Bushwide. Our friend Natalia booked our trip on short notice, for sure we didn’t expect anything perfect under such short notice but they really provided great recommendations on an itinerary that was tailored to what we wanted to do and see. The vehicles were in excellent condition and accommodation and level of service exceeded our expectations.All our guides were excellent. We loved Mola more he is very experienced and knowledgeable and is a safe driver. He made sure we saw lots of wildlife and that all our needs were looked after. Thank you Bushwide!!!

We went on an amazing safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. From the beginning to the very end Bushwide was the best and was there to ensure that our safari was nothing less than breathtaking. The management were always checking on us through the entire safari also to answer any questions we had and provided us with the safari of our dream in every aspect. The jeep and van were extremely clean, new and comfortable. Our driver guide Daniel was very punctual, friendly, and knowledgeable. He made sure he did everything he could for us to see everything that we wanted to and he also gave us an insight of Tanzania culture and lifestyle something which was fascinating and very interesting. All in all, our trip was more amazing than we could have ever expected for it to be. There is so much more to African wilderness than we could have ever imagined. The night in Serengeti is like being in a little heaven, listening to animals and the wilderness was so amazing. On behalf of our group we really thank you Kunda and your Team for an unforgettable adventure!We highly recommend this company for all your Tanzania travels (Ich kann dieses Unternehmen wirklich jedem Reiseliebhaber empfehlen).

As we decided to organize ourselves a 7-days safari in Tanzania in January 2019 (Tarangire, Ngorogoro, Manyara and Serengeti). We were 6 of us and we contacted 12 companies. All of them responded quite so fast, but Bushwide offered us the best program and price. The correspondence with them was so friendly, personal, clear and fast. Although we were a bit anxious after having made the full payment in advance, I was relieved that everything went perfectly well, the minute we went out of the airport on arrival in Tanzania. We spent 6 nights in very nice lodges and camps, which were recommended by Bushwide Safaris.Our safari was full of unexpected which is the reason why we never regretted choosing this company over others: our driver-guide Fadhil! Travelling with him was just perfect: safe driving, sometimes not too fast to enjoy the landscape, sometimes fast to spot impressive animals. He gave us many information about the animals and the country (I didnt expect to learn so many things!!), but he didnt talk all the time neither, that was perfect for us, his experience was something that we will all share and keep forever. Thanks to his patience and very acute and trained eyesight, we saw all the animals we wanted to see and many more... He was very adaptive and agreed to pick us up very early in the morning. All in all, I have so much to tell but I will always recommend more Bushwide Safaris and Fadhil for a perfect Adventure!THANKS TEAM !!!!!!!!JASON

Beth and I had been on a one week camping Safari in Kenya back in 2017, and I have travelled around many parts of Africa and elsewhere on safari / wildlife conservation trips over the last 8 years - so we knew what we wanted! We found Bushwide African Safaris via Trip Advisor (we wanted an ethical company) and once we contacted them at the start of January, Kundael was very helpful in arranging the trip we wanted. Beth and I had a range of possible dates between February and March, we wanted to go on the 5-day trip, and we were going to book our own 4 night extension in Zanzibar at the end of it, as well as all the flights.This meant Kundael had some juggling of dates as he contacted the lodges/camps to see what was available, and then coming back to us to see if these worked for us, but he came through and in a three days later we had an itinerary that worked and the deposit was being paid. 2 nights Fanaka Lodge After Ngorongoro National Park 2 nights Tanganyika wilderness camp, Serengeti 1 night Roika Tented Lodge, Tarangire National Park Yusuph (Our Guide) picked us up at Kilimanjaro International airport, and we had an interesting chat about various things on the forty five minutes’ drive to our Hotel in Moshi and next day’s four hour drive to Tarangire National Park. We were impressed with his knowledge, passion and attitude - things were looking good. Bushwide African Safaris really know what they are doing. They investigate and choose the camps very carefully, and review them regularly too. We can only echo the many views already mentioned in previous reviews with regards the hospitality, standards, enthusiasm, ethics, knowledge and skills of the staff we met. Can’t name them but their service were outstanding. We were also impressed by the variety of wildlife experiences over the 5 days. As everyone should know wildlife is just that, wild, and nothing is ever guaranteed, and no two days are ever the same, even in the same place. What would be my best piece of advice to anyone thinking of booking with Bushwide African Safaris in Tanzania? Book a longer 5 days or more trip rather than a 2 days trip - youll love the extra day you get at each park and camp!

We have just arrived back from a 4 night 5 days safari organized by Bushwide African safaris and have to say the safari organization was outstanding from the moment we got off the plane until we got back on it to return home. We stayed at four different lodges which were all equally amazing in their own right. The accommodation, service and food at each lodge was fantastic but the game drives took this to a different level altogether. Originally we planned to visit India but due to a timing conflict we decided to opt for a Tanzania Safari this year. I would normally thoroughly research everything before making my decision but Bushwide got our attention, and it was the decision that we never regretted on. We have some amazing experiences & memories, fantastic photos and videos to boot. We have no hesitation in recommending Bushwide African Safaris.

Our adventure story started in late February 2019 me and my two friends after juggling so many options and ended up coming for an adventure in Tanzania, Africa with Bushwide African Safaris which was highly recommended by our friend who have used it before.Though, it was raining but the the experience was remarkable!We had blue skies and mystique-foggy scene at the same time, which were so fantastic for photographic captures!The safari experience was a marvellous one!From Tarangeri, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, including the Maasai Village visit. Doto our guide is very professional, and most of all, focus on what we wanted to see (and yes, we saw the Big-Five!), even though we were kind of giving up to search the Rhino at the last day, but Doto kept insisting to look for it!One time, he pointed out on the hunting of 5 Simbas to a poor Impala from a distance and that was an exciting moment, especially our car was the only one there, after a while of course others followed :). Also, we had a chance to witness the killing of Zebra by female Lions and then followed by the crocodile who was waiting in the pond and out to enjoy the leftover. What a good-eye of Doto and what a fun game-driving!The Nyati Migration Camps is one of our favourite as we were outdoor surrounded by spectacular view of Serengeti. Next time, I wish to stay longer or at least one more night/day in Serengeti and Ngorongoro.Anyway, I can keep on and on about my wonderful experience, but in short ... yes, I want to express my BIG thank you to Kunda and all the staff for giving us good advice, guiding, patience and best service. Terima kasih, or Asante Sana, in Bahasa Indonesia!We still have lots to say but all I can tell you is that we would definitely come back with Bushwide African Safaris.Cheers!

We had the most epic safari in our lifetime. We were so glad that we met Kunda and his Bushwide African Safaris He managed the best safari and mountain climbing and other tours, leaving us happy and loaded with positive emotions. Experience with Bushwide African Safaris guys was incredible. From Lake Victoria up to the Indian Ocean, they are able to satisfy everyones needs. For all kind of taste. You feel Hakuna Matata at all times. You are so welcomed, that even cars are playing your favourite music while you are enjoying the drive, literary speaking. Everything is well organized, high standarts, and very client-oriented.We do recommend this company for everybody, who wants everything is well organized, trustfull, with politeness, effectiveness and smile.We have been in many countries, but the Tanzania showed by Kunda and Bushwide African Safaris guys was completely outstanding. We saw the true soul of Tanzania. The Land of Love and Piece. Thanks to them! Asante sana!

We booked a Kilimanjaro climb via Rongai and a three days safari me and my two couple friends with Bushwide African Safaris and they did a great job, really amazing! Our journey started from the airport the company driver was outside waiting for us he helped us with some of our bags and then drove us to Kili Wonders Hotel. The next day we started with Kilimanjaro climb the team was outside the hotel earlier waiting for us. We stated the trek around 10:30am at the Rongai gate, it was an amazing experience for sure, our guides Emmanuel, Lucas and the whole team made our holiday full of joy they gave us hope and courage all the way on the mountain and we finally made it to Uhuru peak 5895mt.Words can’t explain how happy I was that day. After Kilimanjaro we went for a safari and this was another happy moment of our holiday,an attentive driver and guide (Nickson) gave interesting information about the flora and fauna and local habits of the Maasai people. We had a fantastic time with the Ngorongoro crater and Tarangire Park on our program. Bushwide team made our holiday. Thanks to Kundael for his professional assistance in arranging this program from day one.We definitely recommend to our friends this safari company!

We climbed Kilimanjaro in November 2017 just before Christmas. The weather was perfect and warm on the mountain and hardly any rain. It also meant that there were not so many people on the mountain.We were recommended to use Bushwide African Safaris through friends in Tanzania who had climbed with them before. We chose to do the 7 days Rongai route and were really impressed with the support, care and attention we were given from our guides. A group of 4 of us were assisted by a group of 17 which included 3 guides, a cook and the porters.The climb was a huge challenge for all of us but the experience was great fun. We were encouraged by our guides at every stage of the climb. Reminding us to drink water, slowing our pace when we became too breathless singing, joking and laughing with us. Even carrying our bags when we got too tired. Our head guide ate his meals with us every day and kept a close eye on us ensuring we would eat enough, and with a well-stocked first aid kit should we need anything!The meals were fantastic and we were provided with plenty to eat and drink, unfortunately the altitude did mean we began to lose our appetites at the higher levels. The porters should be commended for carrying all our kit and food for the whole team, and arriving at camp hours before us. We were eating meat and rice or potatoes, pasta, porridge, soup, fresh pineapple, fresh water melon. How they were able to carry all this, I will never know. It was very impressive!The first three days of walking were really enjoyable. Beautiful weather and scenery. As we got closer to 4500mt the altitude did begin to affect us. Nausea, headaches, lack of sleep, and it got much colder.The trek up to Uhuru Peak was certainly the most challenging part, mentally and physically. We walked with 4 porters carrying oxygen cylinders and a stretcher in case of any problems. We felt that we were well looked after, our safety was not being compromised and had great confidence in the entire team,I would recommend Bushwide African Safaris to everybody, they did everything they could to complete our experience on the mountain!
