Testimonials

We needed to arrange a bespoke safari trip due to very constrained dates, and after lots of research we chose Adventure Purists/Bundu Adventures. They were very helpful in discussing options and very flexible in agreeing what we wanted to do. Despite being a bespoke trip, it was a reasonable price (probably as it is a local operator without the overheads and markups of some of the international overland/small tour companies). We were a family of 4 in one of the extended landrover vehicles, so had lots of space and everyone had a window. Our guide was Mishek and cook was Monica - both were excellent and Monica was flexible with arrangements for breakfast and dinner to work around our game drives with Mishek. We linked in a 3 day canoe safari on the lower Zambezi, which was also excellent. We wanted as wild camping as we could get in Zambia, and Kafue certainly delivered that in a couple of camps. Having lived in Africa for many years when younger, and been to many game parks with many guides, I can say that Mishek is a good birder as well as a good general guide and game spotter. Overall, we would have no hesitation in going with this company again, and if planning another mobile camping trip in Zambia would definitely start with them.

• Bespoke Safaris

As it has been our first safari we really appreciated the experienced organisation and the well founded knowledge of the team. The advantage of long-term insight of all team members in combination with the enthusiasm the guides shared with us was tremendous.
Besides the inspiring game drives the accommodation and the provided meals have been really outstanding.

We have had very good experiences with Adventure Purists / Bundu safaris in the past. Christa has chosen the Msandile Lodge for us in South Luangwa. This lodge is beautifully located right on the Luangwa. The service and the food were very good, as was our guide. The wildlife sightings were outstanding and exceeded our expectations. We saw several leopards every day. In Lower Zambezi, we were traveling with Moses and Joseph, our guides from Adventure Purists. Both planned the daily schedule in consultation with us and were excellent at observing the animals. We were well looked after,  the relationship was warm and friendly. In addition, Moses cooked excellently and Joseph is a very good driver. The 'magic woodland' and a pack of wild dogs that we saw almost every day were unforgettable experiences. Thank you very much for the 14-day safari, which we will never forget! We had so many amazing moments like never before! The next safari with Adventure Purists / Bundu Safaris is already in planning.

• Zambia´s Best Parks

I have been on an Raft Safari, concentrated on Kafue NP und Lower Zambezi NP. In addition to safari by car, we rafted down the Kafue and the Zambezi river and went wild camping with elephants around - the sound of hippos, hyena and lion during the night - great! We saw a lot wildlife. Plus explanations from experienced guides.

The tour was very well organised and, and cook and catering were also very good.

Adventure Purists respond quickly and resolve issues, an example: My flight to Zambia was cancelled and I was arriving with a 24h delay - the transfer to the group was immediately researched and an offer organised so that I could join the group without missing any part of the trip.

I have been travelling with Adventure Purists for several times and it is always great fun and a wonderful Africa-Experience!

• Adventurous Boat Safari on the Zambezi River and Kafue NP

We all had an incredible time on our safari and got to see amazing wildlife including the very rare pangolin. 
Moses & Joseph were amazing, right from the start they were helpful, informative and had everything planned perfectly. They both have so much knowledge and shared appropriately,
The food (especially vegan) was exceptional and they went to great lengths to ensure we had wholesome, tasty meals throughout. We were so impressed with the effort they went too.
Moses & Joseph were able to connect with us, share stories and laughter. We would highly recommend them both to any group. We were very lucky to have them. Thank you so much.

• Into the Wild: A Camping Safari Across Kafue

Recently me and my girlfriend visited Zambia for our first time, and had our first ever safari there! We booked via Adventure Purists/Bundu Safari's, and we couldn't be happier with our choice! We first wanted to book for Kafue National Park, but Christa (our lovely contact person) recommended another tour which would be easier accessable during this time of the year. We simply told them what we wanted, for how long, and any additional requests, and they made it happen!

Of course we booked this trip hoping to see beautiful nature and amazing animals. (We definitely did see everything we wanted, including the entire Big 5!) But having two of these amazing guides with us really made our trip complete. Moses and Joseph are two wonderful guys that really know what they're doing and talking about. They make a great duo who can cook, drive, care, spot even the most well hidden animals, and tell us everything about all we want to know like behavior, characteristics, looks and so much more of all the animals we found. Please take good care of such amazing safari guides, as you probably won't find them of this kind very often. They always asked if we could see everything back in the truck, they asked if there were specific species we should look after. They asked when we wanted to leave, eat, come back to camp, take on extra activities or just chill a bit. Super kind, caring, funny, sweet and pure people. We absolutely would recommend booking with these guys if someone books a safari with Bundu.

It was amazing seeing all these different species together and in the wild, and the hunt to always spot even more was really exciting! We think we got really lucky with everything we found, and are really appreciative about being able to make such a unique trip with very unique people! Thank you so much for giving us this opportunity, and we will definitely see you in the future.

Our safaris in Chobe, Lower Zambezi, and South Luangwa National Parks were truly fantastic and unique; simply an experience like no other. Never before had we been able to see and experience such a diverse wildlife in the wild on another African safaris. The timing and organization (guides, cook, vehicle) also worked perfectly, and the food was simply delicious every day. I thank you very much for your excellent preparation and will happily recommend you to others when the opportunity arises.

We are safely back home after an amazing holiday... I wanted to say a big thank you for all the planning and organization of our trip.
From the initial exciting camping, to the wonderful lodge in South Luangwa – All the locations really, were very well chosen. The boat, staying at Zambezi River Cottages, the big chalet in Lower Zambezi - all then!
And thank you to all the team that assisted us Andrew, Joseph, Monica (and briefly Moses). Also in Bostwana and South Luangwa we had really great guides.
We were very lucky to see amazing animals, not at once but at each location new and even more special – I won’t bore you with photos :) But there all the usual suspects – highlight was the leopards, the pride of lions, the big heards of elephants, buffalos, wild dogs… and everything in between.
