   - Zambia's best affordable safari

   Truly an incredible experience for my family and I, and at a very affordable price. Our guide Andrew was incredibly knowledgeable, spoke perfect English and was so attentive to our needs (and fears!). We did six four hour safaris by 4X4 Landcruiser with him, deep into the African bush and saw every animal imaginable (lions, leopards, too many giraffes and elephants to count...incredible. His deep experience growing up in the area and his easy going nature put us all at ease, and his love for wildlife has left a lasting impact on my children, my wife and I. The highlight of our trip without question. See more..

   We used Bushride for a trip from Lusaka to South Luangwa and then on to Lilongwe and highly recommend this company. From the get-go, Kay was on top of our situation and did things to make sure my family was well cared for and all of our questions were answered. We had concerns about protests happening in Malawi just before our arrival and Kay contacted several people in the country and kept us appraised of the situation and their recommendations. We highly recommend their services and would definitely use them again. A professional/personal follow-up: Several weeks after we left Malawi, Kay followed-up with a text to tell us about someone who really helped us in South Luangwa (John, our game driver) whose wife had given birth to their firstborn child. We had asked John and Kay to tell us when the baby was born and Kay remembered and kept us informed with pictures and texts. That was very meaningful to my family and showed his professional and personal standards. See more..
