Fabulous experience
The 6 days canoe trip on the Zambezi river from Kariba Gorge to Mana Pools was fabolous!
Everything was excellent: the canoe trip has been absolutely magical, our guides Emmanuel and Kenneth were professional and super-good all the time, they took good care of us every minutes of the journey. We were to girlfriends and felt safe all the time. The guides were so experienced that we just enjoyed the beauty around us.
This canoe trip has been one of the best thing I have ever done in Africa!

Outstanding Tamarind safari on Zambesi with canoe
We experienced Tamarind safari, driven by Kenny, Manu and Cleve (a learner). The navigation on the river has been absolutely fantastic, great sense of immersion in the nature, living with its rithm. Wake up when the sun rises, dinner after sunset. Sleeping in the dome tend admiring stars and moon is something unique. Exchange experiences, life tales, have fun with the guides enriched a lot all of us. Quality of the organization has been impressive, great guides professionalism, good food, exciting landscape and wildlife make this safari unforgettable.

Emanuel was so knowledgable, responsible and interesting, as well as being a really lovely person.
Four of us did the day night safari. Emanual the lead guide was outstanding, s was Richard the second in charge. Crispen was still training but he was excellent- really eagle eyes! Everyday was a new adventure- the river could be quiet and tranquil then the wind would blow up and give us a bit of physical work- nothing too challenging. There were literally 100's of hippos and Emanuel led us safely between the pods with a few exciting moments!! The food was great and plentiful. Our tents were fabulous and sleeping under the African stares such a treat.

Kariba to Mana Pools - Fisheagle Safari
My son and I have just come off a 6 day/5 night Canoe Safari along the Mighty Zambezi River. And Wow! What an experience! The staff were amazing. Kenneth, Omega and Clive had our backs the whole way. Camp food and sleeping arrangements were excellent. Ablutions were basic - badza for digging a hole and burying and mathches fio burning the paper. Number ones were fine,

an experience of a lifetime
one of the last hidden untouched treasures of the world. if you love the outdoors - this is a must.
You just need to turn up and Natureways does the rest - very professional, friendly, and caring.
If you are having doubt - dont, just do it.

Best safari I experienced in Southern Africa
We booked 5 night safari with natureways with our family of 5 adults, age-range 22-56. Started in Chitake with 2 nights odyssey safari followed by a 3 night canoe safari starting at Mana pools. For us, this has been a perfect mix of a walking safari with spectacular game viewing covering lions, antelope, buffalo, elephant, enormous range of birds, insects and plants followed by fantastic scenery from the canoe on the Zambezi river. The guides have all been extremely knowledgeable, keen to share their knowledge and very eager to make the safari special for all their guests. Food and tents have been very luxurious (from our point of view) in the mobile camp of the odyssey safari, on the river it had been basic, which has been expected, but it has been absolutely sufficient. Camp sites along the river have been well chosen and wonderfully idyllic. Every minute has been worth its while. Thank you.

Best experience ever!
We did the Tamarind Tour and it was perfekt!
Be so close to the animals and the camping direct on the Sambesi was great.
Thanks for those brilliant 4 Days.

Professional yet friendly
I went down the Zambezi in a canoe for multiple days with Natureways and I absolutely loved it. The guides were knowledgable, the food was amazing, and the views were spectacular. The trip was very well organized and we had no issues whatsoever. I think the singularly best part of the experience were late night conversations under the stars with our guides as we sat in the dirt. Every night was filled with laughter and amazing stories. I loved my trip!!

It was absolutely amazing
We had an awesome time, we were 5 friends doing a Canoe Safari. The guides Kenny and Richard (and future guide Kuda - fingers crossed for him) were great, super patient with us, cooked amazing, know so much about wildlife and were really helpful in helping us relax when we were 'hippo dodging'. I could not recommend a better experience if you want to connect with nature, sleep under the superb African sky, have wonderful talks about life and enjoy some adrenaline:) will 100% go back for a walking safari with those guys!Thanks for everything!
