Professional, friendly and knowledgeable!
Federica and Ruan were great at organising a customised package to fit our likes and interests. They were very efficient, and quick to reply, and they provided a personal touch and friendly atmosphere the whole trip.
Thanks!

A trip to the jungles of Africa became a learning experience both intellectually and spiritually.
The team is the BEST
They managed to personalize and attend kindly and efficiently to every need in a highly diverse group of people. They are very knowledgeable, speak five languages, love nature and transmit the affection and love for it in a very competent manner.
Can’t wait to go back and visit more. Their communication while preparing the trip was fantastic and they outlived our expectations!!

Excellent
I've travelled with Ruan to Botswana and Vic Falls, and everything was absolutely perfect, driving the truck, locations, accomodation, giving us all kind of explanations and stories about places, nature, animals and so on! He is really in love with his job and his Country, and he was able to manage a group of 9 from different nationalities. As I was the only Italian in the group, he has been very patient repeating instructions and explanations, 'cause my english is not so good. I absolutely recommend to travel with Ruan and his company!

Awesome!
My wife decided to surprise me for my birthday with a dream of mine. That dream was a South African Safari. Being this a very special trip, she looked for the best service and best value for the money. These guys made us feel right at home. Friendly, funny and very organized. We traveled from Johannesburg to Cape Town in 20 days, staying in amazing lodges having great food. I give Shikwaru Adventures two thumbs up. Thank you so much for making us live a great experience. You made my dream come true. See you next year Botswana 2023!
Amazing experience
We went to Botswana with Shikwaru Adventures.
It was just like we dreamt it will be. We saw lots of animals and had an amazing time. We definitely would like to do this again in the future !

We'll be back for more!
We went on a tour of South Africa for two weeks with our guide Federica from Shikwaru Adventures after a friend recommended her to us. She adapted and tailored the tour and the visits according to what we wanted to see. We went for a whole tour of South Africa, beginning in Johannesburg where we saw the Mandela Museum, Mandela's house, a youth Center, all while learning about the history of the city and the country. After that things kept interesting as we took the road towards the private game reserves and Kruger National Park. The trip went on through Swaziland and St Lucia and we finished in Cape Town after a short flight.
Federica knows really a great deal about the country, the animals, the people and was able to answer 99% of the questions that went through our mind during the trip. It was a really great experience, we managed to see almost all of the big five during the two weeks, but we'll be back to catch the evasive Leopard! If you want a tour where you can take your time, where you're not in a packed bus stacked with 30 people where everything is calculated to the minute then you can stop searching.

An unforgettable experience !
We have lived a unique experience! Thanks to Federica who, being very attentive and hospitable, organized us, helped and accompanied us at all times in this Safari. Everything was perfect and according to our budget.
Thanks Federica!

Exciting holidays, brilliant staff
I travelled several times through different countries of Southern Africa with Ruan and Frederica. These holidays were special and some of the best trips I ever did. Both have a deep knowledge about Southern Africa, the history, culture and the wildlife. Their safaris are excellent organized and still give room for spontaneous wishes of their clients. They are both brilliant in animal spotting and respectful in the approach of wild species. They care about the environment. And both make sure you have a save journey. They are first class professionals (and really nice people).
