I have traveled to Africa many times for Safari and other adventures. My experiences with Hussein were exceptional and he brought many more experiences in the play. I would never do a safari again without Hussien. My wife and I enjoyed it tremendously. Exceeding our expectations many times over.Posted on Paul R2025-09-09Verified Hussain is the main man Hussain is the main man - I can't say enough about him! He was truly exceptional - an know-all of Serengeti with a photographer's eye and fantastic company throughout our journey. His background as a former ranger gave him incredible knowledge into the Savanna ecosystem and wildlife. What impressed me most was how he captivated my kids, turning every animal encounter into an engaging story rather than a dry - here's this animal and it does that. His storytelling approach made the experience both educational and magical for the whole family. The last 2 days we left 4 kids in Hussain 's vehicle and they loved that experience. Hussain was super patient, friendly and caring to all of them. Our unforgettable safari adventure was absolutely made possible because of Hussain's expertise and wonderful personality. Book him!Posted on Ashish K2025-09-09Verified Guide can make or break your Safari When I got to know Hussain is on to a new adventure I was excited for him. Hussain was our guide during our time in Serengeti. He was the best guide we could have asked for. Apart from being a great human being, he has vast knowledge and tons of stories to tell. From the time we met to the the time we departed it felt like we met an old friend. Our kids loved him and had a great time with him. He kept them engaged and entertainment throughout the Safari. We owe our amazing time in Tanzania to him.Posted on Ashish S2025-09-08Verified Outstanding I cannot rate Hussein highly enough, his knowledge and enthusiasm as well as attention to detail and sense of humour makes any safari even more special. Both on foot and in a vehicle his ability to spot animals is some of the best I have ever seen and I have travelled extensively in Africa. He is very personable and we had deep conversations about culture and wildlife. Would highly recommend travelling with him and his company.

There were so many details and attentions that made this trip different than the others. Hussein is next level !Posted on Iris J2025-09-06Verified Bornwild I traveled to Tanzania with Bornwild in September 2022, guided by Hussein. He was truly exceptional—deeply knowledgeable, attentive, and one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. Thanks to his expertise, I was able to see the Big Five and so much more. I’ve been to Africa many times with different guides, but none compare to Hussein. He didn’t just guide the safari—he made every moment meaningful with his warmth, care, and passion for the wildlife. This trip was unforgettable, and I will always remember how special he made it. I cannot recommend Bourne Wild and Hussein highly enough.Posted on Tracy R2025-09-05Verified Amazing adventure I’ve been to Africa 8 times in the last 10 years and Hussein is the best local guide I have ever had. So knowledgeable about the animals and the land, the history and the culture. He also spent time every day teaching me Swahili! We sang songs, laughed and really became great friends in such a short time. They don’t come any better than him.Traveling to Africa and going on Safari (especially in Tanzania) is an amazing adventure it’s hard to beat. Making Hussein part of your trip ensures that your experience will be incredible. I couldn’t recommend him more strongly! We will certainly be seeing him again… Hopefully soon. :-)Posted on Matt A2025-09-04Verified Safari of a lifetime with Bornwild Safaris An African safari can be made or broken by your guide, but sometimes you have a guide so special that he makes the safari a once-in-a-lifetime experience. That was our experience with Hussein. My husband and I have been on 10 previous safaris but our time spent in the Serengeti for the calving season was life changing. Hussein was exceptional at putting us in the perfect position to see all the action. We saw births, last breaths and everything in between. The quality of our sighting were some of our best. What made this safari really different was how much we learned about all of the cultures in the Tanzania, the way people live their daily lives and being welcomed to experience a slice of life in the bush. Hussein taught us Swahili every morning as we drove off for the days safari and quizzed us on our vocabulary and we drove back into camp. He opened himself up to us and we did the same in turn. We still WhatsApp weekly to check in with each other. Hussein is an exceptional host and anyone that has the opportunity to see the African bush through his eyes is very fortunate.Posted on Alexa A2025-09-04
