We contacted a lot of transfer companies before we chose Bushride. From the first contact, Kay was responsive, courteous and highly professional. He had excellent references from within Zambia. Kay… read more went out of his way to structure our transfers to suit us and provided a reasonable price. So after researching, calling references and negotiating the trip and the price, we chose Bushride and we were very happy we did.
The first great experience with Bushride in Zambia was when we arrived at Nkonzi Camp in South Luangwa National Park, Kay drove out to our camp to meet us and to review our plans
At our first leg of the trip, Obie our driver was there waiting for us at Lusaka airport to drive us to a lodge on the Lower Zambezi River. He was helpful and energetic and most importantly an excellent driver, with a wonderful disposition. When a challenging and unexpected part of the trip occurred, he addressed the situation with humor and patience.

A few days later, he was waiting for us an hour early to take us the long way back to Lusaka airport.
He drove with care and precision. He found a good shopping mall to buy water, lunch and find a clean WC. We felt safe and taken care of. Even though we had had a delay forced on us on the first leg of the trip, Kay did not charge us extra for the extra service that Obie provided. Kay had also taken the step of contacting our Lodge on the River to confirm the address, the directions (which sometimes are not exact in Zambia), approximate driving time and heads up to any road issues. This was another professional step that went beyond what I expected. Quite an excellent experience and customer service.

During my search for intra-country transportation, I learned that most camps and resorts have their own designated drivers or transfer companies. Often these designated services are extremely expensive and they try to all charge the same prices. When I looked at the mileage, the condition of the roads and the cost of gasoline, I could see that the charges were exorbitant. So I looked extensively for an alternative. I wished I had found Kay for the other legs of my journey in Zambia. I would certainly have used him for all the different transportation parts. His prices were reasonable, his automobile was appropriate to the road conditions and his driver experienced and excellent at what he did. Bushride is not beholden to the owners of the facilities, but to the customer.

  In july of 2018 we had an awesome safari trip in Zambia, with the Hilux and the Harrier from Bushride. The cars were excellent, the service from Kay also. After… read more the safari in Zambia we went on with the Harrier to Malawi. Kay had someone to help us with the papers at the borders, very happy with that. Kay delivered and later picked the cars up in Malawi, very customer friendly! We surely would do business with Bushride again. John & Linda, Netherlands

  Excellent service from Bushride  – Excellent service from Bushride. The 4WD was well maintained and did a great job on our bush trip.

  Recommended car rental  – With only a little more than a week to see some of the outstanding Birdlife in Zambia, it was important to me, that I had a good rental car.
The… read more Mitsubishi Pajero that I rented through Bushride Travels was a perfect choice for me, and it took me all the places I wanted.
When I had a problem with the battery one evening, Kay responded quickly, and I was able to fix the loose fitting on my own, with his guidance things can get a little loose, when bumping around on Zambia’s roads for days..😉
I would have no problems with using Bushride Travels again for another visit, and can only recommend the company to anyone else, contemplating doing so.
Please notice, that the deposit is expected to be in cash..!!

  Bushride is a perfect company to spend a few days in south luangwa in the self drive way.
Kay is totally flexible awardness to adapt your trip with your request.… read more /> We rent a car during 8 days. The car was strong well maintened and kay is always available for any problems. We began our first days trip with andrew a local guide to discover the park get back advice information to drive easily in the park and find animals. The next day alone was very cool in the self drive way very intense !
Kay found a perfect chalet not so far of the park and for the food we made the choice to eat dinner and breakfirst in the restaurant managed by the wife of andrew. The food was delicious local and international. Sometimes we took take away lunch to stay all the day in the park.
Don’t hesitate to contact kay and bushride !!!

  Highly recommended!  – We hired a Toyota Hilux from Bushride for an entire month to travel through Malawi and Zambia. We are a family of 4, kids ages 7 and 9. Bushride provided… read more us with a well equipped, strong and reliable vehicle. It was not new but it was very well maintained and Kay was kind enough to fit us with a lot of new equipment (roof top tents, fridge, cuttlery, plates and more). We highly appreciate this!
Kay was incredibly helpful and easily accessible, from our initial booking throughout our entire trip. We never had any issues whatsoever with our safari jeep and would only consider booking through Bushride, should we make another trip like this in the future.

  I dealt with Kay, the owner, from the beginning in 2019 when I booked transport from Lusaka airport to the remote Mvuu Lodge near Lower Zambezi National Park. His… read more drivers provided transport to there. It’s a long journey, and especially slow when night falls given the roads. We made it there at 9 pm after leaving airport around 3:30. The lodge gave us a water transfer on the Zambei River, hooking up with Bushride’s drivers again at Chiawa for the return journey. This cut down about an hour total travel time. We were involved in an accident on return. Thankfully no one hurt. But this is where I must say Kay and his team moved mountains to be sure we got back to Lusaka airport in time for our domestic flight to Mfuwe (S. Luangwa Park area) at 4:30. Our driver called Kay and he got the lodge’s manager Nibby (who incidentally was nearby en route home for a little time off). Nibby showed up with his brother and we took a Toyota Corolla back to the airport after just a 30 minute delay. When we got to Mfuwe, Kay came to our lodge to check in with us. (He is based there.) We saw Kay daily in between game drives as we tried to salvage some kind of Africa program after learning we could not fly to S. Africa. We stayed an extra night in Mfuwe at Marula Lodge and had decided to try a nice Malawi program, including 2 nights on an island in Lake Malawi. At the very last minute on last day I got several e-mails saying "get first flight out now." So at 7 am on March 21, we booked the last 2 seats on a flight from Lilongwe, Malawi back to the USA. Kay’s drivers got us to the Malawi border in just over 2 hours and we seamlessly transferred to his new guide there, Franciwell. He got us to LLW airport in just over 2 hours, in time for our flight. We only had to pay credit card for transport, not for any unused hotel stays. I thank Kay for working hard to be sure we got evacuated and for his time, effort, and research in trying to give us alternate plans. But the worldwide crisis was too much, even though there was zero virus problems in Southeastern Africa. I recommend contacting Kay from Bushride Travel by e-mail. He was the only company with good reviews to ever even reply. He replies promptly when contacted. He also has connections with some lodges, though we had already booked direct before we arranged transport.
