A UNIQUE AGENCY THAT UNDERSTOOD OUR EXPECTATIONS AND OUR NEEDS
Despite all the difficulties we encountered in organising this trip (Covid cancellation and 4 times trip postponed), Shikwaru Adventures supported us throughout with patience, kindness and efficiency. Our trip was incredible, thanks in part to the work of the whole team. The choice of guides, the places we stayed and the experiences we had were everything we had hoped for. I would recommend 1000 times this agency.

Super attentive to our needs and pampering at all times, they are brilliant!
Shikwaru Adventures really built a trip that perfectly met what we wanted. They were able to combine comfort, adventure to our budget. They were always present when we needed and very responsive as soon as we had a question but without being intrusive. They took us to places we wouldn't have thought of like Kliptown and totally wowed us. Our guide was lovely, our 4 kids loved it and so did we. Everything was organized to perfection, it allowed us to discover a country in a different way than what the media says, we never felt safe because Shikwaru Adventures was always there to guide us on our trip. If we had to leave, without hesitation, we would call on this travel agency. I totally recommend it to you. Thanks to Shikwaru Adventures we had a great vacation, full of adventures and in complete safety.
I hope my explanations are understandable because i know my english is not good

Awesome staff, amazing organisation and incredible sights - We saw everything!!
We booked a 12 days safari with Shikwaru Adventures in Botswana for end of September and that was simply fantastic!
Upon arrival, we got greeted by the team and our guide (Rock) for the tour. They briefed us on the details of the trip, and went above and beyond to solve our issue with delayed luggages (brought us twice to shopping center, periodically checked the airport and delivered us our luggages in the remote part of the Okavango!) Pro tip - Allow an extra day when you arrive if your flight is not direct
We then started the fantastic safari - Rock our guide was a local living legend - He knew all the smallest spots and sandy roads, and led us to see pretty much all the wildlife around (Cheetahs, Lions, Hippos, Leopards, Wild dogs, Hyenas, Giraffes, Elephants and all!) He was very kind, always checking on us, giving us lots of info on the wildlife and telling us great stories around the evening bonfire.
He was with his lovely assistant Partner, in charge of the food and the camp. Partner was simply fantastic, always super kind and hard-worker, cooking us delicious and fresh food based on our diet requirements. He also cooked his famous bread that you must try!
In total, we moved over three different camp sites, and finished the tour at the Victoria Falls. The setup was each time incredible, beds in the tents were super comfortable, food delicious, and outdoor shower really great! We were expecting a basic setup but it was actually super enjoyable!
All in one, we're incredibly happy to have done this trip, and couldn't recommend enough to go with them! We have lifelong memories and will be back for sure!
Thank you so much Rock, Partner, Cronje and Federica, you guys are the best!

Great trip, well organized with our guide Frederica, attentive to all our needs.
After a 25-day trip to South Africa with Frederica, we come back delighted.
We enjoyed the programming, very varied, which gives us a good overview of the country.
Frederica was a good driver, dynamic, highly organized. She adapted the program according to the situation. We liked the choice of very diversified hotels. Both homestays were very rewarding.
Several treks allowed us to admire the magnificent landscapes.
We strongly recommend Shikwaru Adventures for safe travel and thank you again, Frederica, for this beautiful trip.

Very nice and interesting discovery of South Africa with Shikwaru and Federica
Me and my friends spent 25 days with Federica, and this roadtrip from Johannesburg to Cape Town was a great experience. We wanted to discover all facets of this great country, and Shikwaru proposed us a very complete and interesting journey: Johannesburg and Cape Town, so different, Kruger, Hluhluwe and Addo to discover the big fives and so many others, amazing and highly varied landscapes, very nice walks … We shared unforgettable moments in the villages of Eswatini and Lesotho. We learned a lot about fauna, flora, geology. Federica loves nature and is a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. And she really takes care of us, with professionalism and friendship. About organization and quality of accommodation, if you accept sometimes less comfort to live beautiful experience, everything was very satisfying. I recommend highly Shikwaru. Thank you Federica !

an unforgettable trip
an unforgettable trip.
we spent 15 days in South Africa with shikwaru adventures.
Thanks to Fréderica for the superb management and organization of the trip. Everything was perfect, from the accommodation to the visits. We shared unforgettable moments in the Kruger Park with Jerome, our guide, who is so passionate about nature and was able to show us all the flora and fauna.
Thanks also to Fils, who introduced us to Cape Town and its fantastic landscapes.
We highly recommend shikwaru for their beautiful tailor-made services.

Excellent organisation and tour
This was my third time with Shikwaru. The first two times were a short trip and a one day trip. This time Federica took our family through the parks in Botswana. The whole team was excellent, including helping with luggage that was delayed for a day in Johannesburg.
If doing Botswana, i would deffinitelly reccomend to arrive a day prior, missing luggage seems to be quite common because the layovers in south africa are often short.
We spent two weeks camping in the parks in the North and the Kalahari and it was simply brilliant. The food was amazing and the camp was always set up by the time we arrived.
My parents were also super impressed with everything!

The best decision to choose Shikwaru-Adventures. Everything was super organized. es zu wählen
What we saw and experienced was indescribable. The nights in the middle of the bush, without water and electricity, were a bit of a challenge, but we overcame it!
Our guide Rock was connected to the other guides by CB and so we heard, that a leopard had killed a huge phyton on the river bank and was now eatingit. A sighting that wasn't very common!
We saw so many different species of animals and different landscapes.
Thanks for everything!
