It was a more than excellent tour with Drifters and Ruan Mey as our guide.
We did at that time the South African tour with Drifters. Ruan Mey was our guide. He was excellent, friendly, competent. The tour and the guide were both in one word : AMAZING!!!

Best guides ever
You can travel through Africa, or experience Africa with Shikwaru.
I was also traveling with other organizers in Africa before, but every other trip to Africa I will do only with Shikwaru!
The travel program is not processed stupidly. Wishes are individually addressed to give everyone an unforgettable experience.
Whether land and people or the animals, the knowledge of the guides is impressive. Their contact with the locals is warm and respectful, for the safaris they take a look behind every single stone, making sure not to miss an animal (mostly successful).
With meals, the guides are very resourceful and intent on freshly prepared local dishes. Requests are always considered (thanks again for the lactose-free food).
Thank you for the unforgettable experience!!!

Informative exciting fun and love to do again
I loved the variety of our tour staying in luxury accommodation right through to camping out on the Delta. Our guide Ruan really knew the country he was showing us and went out of his way to make the most of what turned up unexpectedly such as animal sightings along the roadside and meeting local people. I never felt afraid during the tour.

Best and most beautiful trip ever
South Africa Rainbow tour was a trip to remember. Our gide Ruan is a great expert in all areas, good driver and a wonderful cook. Seen fantastic nature and heard many beautiful stories from him. The highlight was the big five, he did everything to spot it.
Moreover, he is careful with nature.So if you are considering a vacation to Africa, think of guide Ruan, who will give you a great holiday.
An amazing experience in Namibia during our 15 days trip with Shikwaru Adventures
Three years ago we’ve been to South Africa with Federica. Everything was so great that we decided to make another trip with her this year, in Southern Namibia this time.
Once again, we have muchly appreciated her great professionalism even when difficulties occured, her excellent ideas during all the trip, her tasty cooking, as she almost always cooked for us local dishes such as bobotie, and her wide cultural and historical knowledge of the country.
Federica is a very caring person who is always vigilant of the needs of each person in the group. She has a lot of qualities but what we really appreciated was her humanity, and her respect towards people as well as nature.
We also had a really good contact with Dewald, who was not only driving, but with whom we also shared a lot of happy moments with great kindness. We are already missing his delicious rusks and braai.
The organisation during the trip was really great, especially when we were camping. For example, five persons of our group didn’t get their luggage when we arrived in Namibia, so Federica made arrangements for us to have extra blankets and pillows until we got our luggage back.
There was also a perfect background organization, with Ruan, who was staying in South Africa and who was constantly checking on the phone with Federica to see if everything was all right.
Namibia is a big and amazing country, with its wonderful landscapes which are very diversified, as well as its wildlife, which is very important to respect and protect.
We had a fantastic experience, so we highly recommend this 2 weeks trip in Namibia with Shikwaru Adventures.
