Exciting, warm
Bundu safaris is a team that cares about every detail, focusing on the comfort of the client. The service, technical explanations about wildlife and the food are TOP !
Absolutely recommended !

Adventure Purist offers very special and well-organised tours, specifically in Zambia.
Last 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 cancelt 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!

A perfect organization and a friendly and competent advice!
We have had very good experiences with Adventure Purists 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 both held each other dear; 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 is already in planning.

Adventure Purist - the name is programme!
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 experienced an interesting program, saw a wide range of wild animals and beautiful landscapes.
Communication with the tour guide (= the company owner) was excellent, he knew a lot and explained it to us, and he made us aware of animals and plants which we would not have noticed. The service was - according to the tour character of a tented tour- very good, the expectations were more than fulfilled.

Zambia Camping Tour (west to east)
This is really an amazing camping safari tour! Everything was perfect. We saw a lot of animals and different landscapes and we had some really nice sundowners with savanna. The campsites and lodges are beautiful and the owner and guide (Joe) has a great experience in all relates themes. And he offered the best dinner I’ve every tasted. The tour was very well equipped and the Landy is tough. If you love Africa, I can only recommend this tour.

Incredibly organised, accommodating and helpful
We did a 6 day safari with this group and our guide Andrew and his helper/ our cook Moses were an incredible pair who made our experience unforgettable. They shared their stories, culture, music and knowledge with us. Christa was an incredibly helpful and organised person to deal with who made our whole trip easy and unforgettable. We are already looking forward to our next trip!

TWO THUMBS UP!
We enjoyed a most fabulous safari with Adventure Purist. Christa was very accommodating in customizing the safari to our needs, dates and budget. Jacob was a fantastic game drive guide and went the extra mile in finding all the animals we came to see. And Moses, the chef, cooked the most wonderful meals. All the camps and lodges on this Adventure Purist safari exceeded our expectations. We wholeheartedly recommend this company for a memorable safari adventure.

Wonderful safari
Can't recommend Adventure Purists enough. We had a beautiful adventure in Zambia, most importantly because Christa accommodated our specific requests so perfectly. We wanted to stay in only two park areas in 13 days and focus on as many game drives as possible but on a budget. Christa made it happen and made it feel like a luxury trip. She chose 3 different camps: a self catering and two full service camps, each different and delightful in their own way. In the Lower Zambezi, at the self catering camp along the hippo filled river, we had an excellent guide from the area and a cook who turned out marvelous meals including fresh baked bread. At the camps in the South Luangwa, we had lodges with expert drivers, good food and very comfortable accommodations. In all places there lots of leopards, lions, elephants, painted wolves, baboons, giraffes, zebras, hippos, and countless birds to be found in the African bush. Adventure Purists took care of every detail from beginning to end. We were well informed while working out the advance details and expenses. In our experience, they are a very trustworthy and competent company to do busy with. Highly recommend!

A great and well-cooperating tour operator, that will plan your stay around your wishes!
Hi!
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!
Kind regards,
Babette and Jari
