We would recommend to all lovers of nature to visit Kalahari. We were reading a lot about it, and what we can find there. But only when you put your feet in the red sand, you can realize what a gem is Kalahari. The animals, the nature, Bushmen tribes.. Wow wow wow!
We went in late November when the ground was literally melting under your feet, but Bumhi team with their special treats (cold drinks, fresh fruits and snacks, etc) made us feel like we are staying in a 5 star hotel on 4 wheels.
We spent 7 days in Kalahari, changing every few days the location / camp sites. Every spot had its own beauties and benefits. We were accompanied also with the bushman named Honeyboy who was giving us so many information about the flora and fauna in Kalahari. Every night, next to the fire, he was telling us fables. At the last day of Safari, we visited his village and his family, and they showed us their crafts and arts all made by their hands with the natural materials.
Watching thirsty animals gathering around water springs and enjoying fresh water under the burning star is something that we will never forget. Also so many different kind of birds and Ivana and Tende knew all about them.
Every evening Tende prepared us delecious meals, and Ivana made a lovely romantic setup for watching the stars and moon. We never saw Southern hemisphere constellations before,so Tende taught us so much about them.
I was 7 month pregnant and I asked Ivana if she is willing to help me with some exercise and yoga. It was important for me to get stretched after all day game ride. Immediately she said yes! She was the best! Helped me a lot! Like I had a personal trainer. Every day doing yoga and watching sunset or sunrise, is something that I could only dream of.
It was a lifetime trip and we owe huge Thank you to Bumhi Safaris team.
It is not always about destination, but it's who you travel with that makes it special. In our case it was great combo!
See you soon!

It was my very first safari & I can tell you that it has been an AMAZING one thank to Tende & Ivana (Bumhisafari).
Everything was just PERFECTLY organized.
The life in the camp was just incredible, better than what I expected. Superb meals (Tende cooks every day different meals adapted to what you prefer & you will even discover African fish, meat or wines), super comfortable bed.
I have learned a lot with Tende who perfectly master everything about the wild ecosystem & all living being.
He really respect the nature & is totally part of the wild.
He shares his passion with pleasure and a touch of humor.
It was an experience full of discovery, dazzle, relaxation and learnings.
I highly recommend you to life at least one experience with them if you are looking for a high quality experience, perfectly organized and only for small groups.
Really individualized you won’t find more unique.
A huge THANK YOU to Tende & Ivana for this safari.
I can’t wait for the next one and for sure it will be with you.

If you are looking for impeccably organized tailor-made holidays, then Bumhi Safaris is definitely what you need.
Ivana and Tende, a charming couple behind Bumhi Safaris organized our stay in the Cape Town region. Well ahead of our trip, they inquired about our interests and sent a lot of useful information and suggestions. Once on the spot, everything was carefully planned and perfectly organized. There was a right balance between various activities, on one hand, and free time, on the other. Ivana and Tende were just great, very professional and very friendly. We really enjoyed their company. Tende is an extremely knowledgeable guide, visits to Cape Point or the Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden were a real crash course in the region's biodiversity. And he is also an excellent cook, he kept surprising us with his delicious meals.
Wholehearted recommendation for Bumhi Safaris!

We were newly married couple and we were thinking where to go for our honeymoon. We wanted to have active vacation with a dose of romantic. We have always wanted to visit Africa, it was our big dream. When we found Bumhi Safaris, and read all the activities they are offering, we booked them straight away!
Tende and Ivana are such a great team, every day spent in Kalahari desert they made it special.
Tende is like open book, live encyclopedia. He knew to tell us all possible details about flora and fauna. Also he is great cook, food was like in a 5 star hotel. I believe he is the best tour guide you will find!
Ivana is the one who is organizing all the activities and adventures. She was always with a huge smile, she has great passion for the nature and super positive energy.
Imagine, at the time we were in Kalahari, my wife was 7 months pregnant. But with them, we felt so safe. They took care of us, especially of my wife.
Now we have small baby, but for sure soon we gonna come back and try something new with Bumhi Safaris. Can't wait to enjoy Africa's sunsets again...

I was one of twenty seven participants in a Charity Cycle challenge facilitated locally by Tende and his team. From collection at the airport to return 10 days later the event was well organised and although issues invariably happened they were dealt with professionally and with no nonsense. Great Job.

I have been on many safaris throughout Tanzania, Zambia, Mozambique, Namibia and South-Africa. In October we did a safari in Zambia and Botswana and I can honestly say that this is the most authentic safari I have ever done! We've travelled the national parks in two weeks and saw amazing sceneries and wildlife. Tendekay is an amazing guide with extensive knowledge about the wildlife. He is an excellent chef as well, it's amazing what he can prepare on a bushfire!

Thanks a million Martijn for your kind words. It has always been a pleasure to guide you over the years and to show you different parts of Africa. Wildlife, the bush, African night sky, campfire and bush-cuisine is our language. Looking forward to having you back in the wild with us!!

Tende and his team were excellent. Super friendly and kind but also efficient and professional. They looked after our large group with good humour in spite of the odd inevitable unplanned challenge and took us on some great off-the-beaten-track routes to show us parts of the country we’d never otherwise have seen. Nothing was too much trouble for them in their efforts to give us a great trip.
