A salve for the soul
The trip was once again outstanding. The guides are of the highest order. The equipment totally acceptable. Nothing is to much trouble including dealing with the needs of vegetarians amongst other complexities. They are a joy to deal with and a joy to spend time with

Fantastic Zambezi canoe safari
The whole tour was fantastic! It was well organized by the Natureways team and their qualified and multi-skilled guides. A good mix of safari experience, exercise (the paddling) and fun.
We definitely can recommend Natureways to anyone who is considering a canoe safari.

Wonderful time in Zimbabwe
I spent 8 days with Natureways in July: First 4 Days on the Zambezi (Tamarind Canoe Safari) and then 4 Days in Mana Pools. Everything was organized perfectly by Natureways – pre- and during the trip. Our guides on the canoe safari (Julius and Kambel) were very skilled and our safety was their priority. It was a wonderful and fun experience. Mana Pools was one of my highlights of the whole vacation. The camp was set up at a stunning spot! The team on site was professional, friendly and a pleasure to be around; I especially appreciated the kitchen crew – they made the most delicious meals for us (on fire)! We spotted amazing wildlife on the walking safaris thanks to our guide James Varden; I was particularly impressed by his knowledge and respect for nature.

Mana Shoreline Canoeing - Unbelievably wonderful trip!
This was our first trip to Africa and first safari. All our expectations were exceeded. Our guides, Mark and Campbell, were excellent. Their knowledge, skill, patience and humor made for fun and interesting days. Canoeing with hippos was way outside our comfort zones but they made it a trip of a lifetime. The food was great - thank you for the extra effort to provide vegetarian meals and snacks. Each camp was well organized, unique and beautiful. And the Zambezi River...magnificent.

Great safari experience
Our safari was an adventure that we hope to repeat again. Our guides were engaged and knowledgeable, and the team attentive. A perfect safari experience for a lover of nature, and a person that enjoys the serenity of nature. Paddling around the hippos adds a bit of excitement- as they are temperamental.

Trip of a lifetime
A wonderful trip, our guides Mark and EJ were knowledgeable, very skilled, communicative and fun to be with. They offered information before we asked, answered all our questions gladly, and showed us the marvels of the Zambezi River. Support staff was also excelent. At the end of each day, our mobile safari camp would be waiting for us with a selection of fine beverages, delicious food, a warm fire and a comfortable bed.
Highly recommended!

Once in a Lifttime Experience
We had a wonderful trip 10 day canoe tour on the Zambezi - and we did survive all the hippos and crocodiles. ; )
Norman and Takesure are really great guides and we enjoyed the time with them very much, staying on beautiful islands, watching amazing sunsets, listening to the sounds of wildlife, watching game and elephants (also a cheeta and a leopard)... It was really an exciting and adventurous trip and T.K. continued the lessons in naming the stars that James has started.
Before we started traveling we were well well informed by Kelly-Ann about the the Safari and all necessary preparations, things to bring and so on.

Fish Eagle Safari
Norman, TK, Clever and the rest of the team at natureways made our experience unforgettable. Tailoring the safari for our group of eight (average age of 22) allowing for a greater experience. The knowledge and passion of our guides Norman and TK in regards to the river, flora, fauna and bush culinary skill was second to none. Recommended trip for anyone with an enthusiasm and love for the outdoors and great company.

I dodged hippos on water, tracked lions on land, ate and drank like roylaty, yet slept like a baby.
This was my twentieth trip to Africa and one of the most exciting. It is hard to describe the adrenalin rush when canoeing so close to hippos. The natural beauty of the Mana Pools shoreline is something I will never forget. The steadfastness, experience and knowledge of our canoe guides, Mark and Takeshore, was reassuring as we glided down the river. It also helped knowing that at the end of each day, our mobile safari camp would be waiting for us with a selection of fine beverages, delicious food, a warm fire and a comfortable bed. The bird life is amazing and we encountered lots of hippos, big crocs, elephants, buffalo, lion and a large cross section of antelope. I intend to return.
