Outstanding guide for families.
My family and I went on a Namibia trip with Mr. T. I couldn't recommend him more highly as a tour guide. We all greatly enjoyed his company and his wealth of knowledge on our journey. He is very interactive and shares an abundance of knowledge about plants, animals, geology, history, etc. His personable nature makes it easy to ask questions. My children (ages 8 and 12) had a fantastic time with Mr. T and learned a lot during our travels with him. Mr. T is also a meticulous planner. He is very detail oriented and had our trip planned out very well. The breaks, rests, points of interest along the way and at the destination itself are all accounted for and planned out. And if there happens to be any sort of issue that arises, Mr. T is quick to adjust and address the situation to ensure a great trip. My family and I had an outstanding experience traveling with Mr. T and would highly recommend him as a guide.

Mr. T is thoughtful, communicative, reflective, knowledgeable, and easy to be around.
Mr. T is an exceptional tour guide. He is thoughtful, communicative, reflective, knowledgeable, and easy to be around.
Along with a group of college students, I traveled throughout Namibia with Mr. T for nine days. Every part of the trip was meticulously planned out in ways that were responsive to the group. Each day, he discussed the plan for the following day with me and asked my input on how best we could accommodate the needs of the group. Following these conversations, he briefed the group about the upcoming plan so they always knew what to expect. At every step in the trip, the group was prepared, ready for new experiences, and knew that Mr. T was their partner in learning.
As with any travel, there are unexpected events and disruptions, whether that be closures, changes in availability, or bad weather. Throughout all of these events, Mr. T was adaptable and communicative. One day we had to restructure our activities due to reasons outside of our control and he handled it thoughtfully and in a way that still made everything work for the group. At every point in our travel, I always knew that Mr. T could handle any disruption with grace and flexibility.
What I appreciated most about Mr. T was his dedication to getting to know the individuals in our group. Throughout our trip, all of us rotated through the front passenger seat of the vehicle. These conversations with Mr. T were so meaningful for each of us. These were the times where we were able to discuss our particular questions and interests with Mr. T. He is one of the most knowledgeable people that I’ve ever met – whether we had questions about culture, history, geography, or wildlife, he had the answer or a book to look it up in. At the same time, it was also very easy to sit in silence next Mr. T as we drove through Namibia or over breakfast with a cup of coffee. He was very perceptive and knew how to be a conversation partner or a quiet partner in a peaceful moment.
If you are considering a trip with Mr. T, please do so! You will be grateful that you chose Cluster Leaf Safaris.

Our safari was an incredible experience made absolutely perfect by Cluster Leaf!
We took a 3 day, 2 night safari to Etosha National Park with Taedza Mtambanengwe (Mr. T) & Cluster Leaf safaris in May 2024. We were traveling from the USA with our newly 6 year old and knew that we would need to work with a company & guide who was able to accommodate our family so that it was a positive and pleasant experience for all of us. Cluster Leaf absolutely came through to make it a perfect, seamless trip & memorable trip!
The communication ahead of time was timely, efficient & easy. We opted for an all-in experience where we were picked up in Windhoek, driven to Etosha, had all accommodations & meals covered and we are SO glad we did! The price was incredibly reasonable and well worth the value we received. It was the best feeling to not have to worry about where to stop, how to get somewhere, where to find gas, how to navigate the park, etc. We loved that it was just our family & our guide, Mr. T. He knew where the good food was, where to stop for clean bathrooms & we had the nicest time learning more about Namibia on our drive. There were SO many things that we would not have learned or seen had we been on our own. Mr. T spotted so many animals that we would have 100% missed! He also has a fantastic network within the park and was able to get great tips from other guides and park rangers so he knew where to take us to see the animals. It's very clear that he is well respected at the park amongst his peers & staff.
Our animal sightings were incredible! We knew that animals sightings are never a given, but we had the combination of an experienced and knowledgable guide plus some good luck. We saw elephants, zebras, giraffes, lions, rhinos, honey badger and so many others! Mr. T was great at pointing out & identifying birds, which we would have never thought to even look for!
All in all, we can't say enough good about Cluster Leaf. Mr. T was so kind and patient answering our sons millions of questions, offering his extensive knowledge about Namibia and Etosha, and generally just being a really awesome person to spend time with. We all talk about our trip fondly & it was all because of our decision to work with Cluster Leaf.

Cluster Leaf met all our expectations and needs
Our experience with the Cluster Leaf staff was highly positive. It was an unforgettable trip, perfectly organized, from the comfort of the camping tents to the cuisine. The schedules, stops, and itineraries were followed, and every request was addressed to satisfy the travelers. What truly set the staff apart was their kindness, enthusiasm, and ability to convey their love for the nature we were immersed in, fully involving us in the activities and various excursions. The Cluster Leaf staff was able to spark our curiosity, teaching us countless characteristics of the animals living in Namibia, and they were excellent history teachers too, providing us with a comprehensive picture of this wonderful country

He was educational and engaging while also being very personable, he is like family to us!
I went on this trip is a student on study abroad from the US with a group of my fellow students from our university. The trip was coordinated by our school so we didn’t handle any of the booking and planning ourselves. But the entire experience from the moment we left until the moment we returned to our hostel was phenomenal. The tour itself was filled with beautiful sights and we got to have experiences outside of game drives that were meaningful and an opportunity to connect with the community we came to get to know. Our guide was so knowledgeable about the areas we were visiting, it made us feel more connected to the sites we were seeing as well as safe navigating each place. I had a wonderful time and hope to come back to Namibia and take another tour again!
