Awesome circuit in eastern South Africa
We left for three weeks (five people) in South Africa, in the eastern part of the country. Thierry, from Biwakwango, had been listening to us from the beginning to adapt to our wishes for this tour in freedom, in family.
He advised us of places and accommodations that turned out to be really good.
For three weeks we were able to enjoy a very diverse program, without wasting too much time in the car. The scenery was beautiful, very diverse, and the accommodations were really good.
Thierry were also present to answer our emails during our stay and solve some small problems with reactivity.
We usually compete with several local agencies. Here, it was clearly Biwakwango that quickly appeared to be the most responsive agency and respectful of our wishes, with a good value for money.

Great family stay
First family stay in Africa with our 4 children and accompanied by Thierry. We crossed 17 days between Swaziland, Mozambique and South Africa. Thierry knows perfectly the fauna and the crossed circles and knows how to share his passion of the nature. We shall return certainly for new experiences

First trip in South Africa and Mozambique
I just return from my first trip in South Africa, Swaziland and Mozambique. It was an exciting and unforgettable trip among a little group of 6 persons. Thierry (Biwakwango) was our guide, driver, translator and cook.
With Thierry, we discovered Johannesburg. We travelled through Swaziland and had the great pleasure to arrive to the fabulous "Dunes de Dovela" in Mozambique. Probably one of the most beautiful places in Mozambique with its deserted beach, its french-mozambican food and its accomodation.
We spent three days in Kruger parc to try to see the "big five". The final part of the trip was in the Soutpansberg.
A detail : Thierry's car is specially adapted to facilitate animal watching.
We really enjoyed our trip ! Thank you Thierry!!

A deep, amazing and fruitfull travel experience of 2 full weeks from Namib desert to Victoria Falls
That was our second trip to austral Africa with Thierry/Biwakwango.
We started from Windhoek/Namibia to join Namib desert, then Damaraland, Twifelfountain, Etosha, Caprivi, and finally Victoria falls in Zimbabwe.
Thanks to Thierry's full abilities, his deep knowledge of the environments (plants, animals and people), his capacity to manage softly and efficiently unexpected situations which always occur in this kind of travelling, and his real sympathy, our travel has been one of the most attractive we have ever done worldwide (and world is wide!).
Specifically, the high diversification of landscapes crossed during the trip, of animals, birds, plants observed, of people met, makes this tour unique and highly recommendable.

Amazing adventure
I knew I was going to need a travel agency to book our safari / Cape Town adventure after I spent a weekend online trying to figure out the ins and outs of South Africa travel.
I emailed about 30 different travel agencies with our budget and travel desires. Thierry from Biwakwango came back with the best offer in a timely manner :-)
Thierry was able to secure in country flights, transportation and seriously wonderful accommodations for us! We were not looking for luxurious resorts, he sent us to the Umlai and Shindzela camps and both were perfect! We then stayed at a lovely B&B in Cape Town. Thierry was always quick with a response to my questions and gave me many options to choose from. It was such a painless process, I highly recommend Biwakwango to anyone needing a travel agent when going on Safari.

Zambia - 14 days trip
Our 14-days trip to Zambian was perfectly organized by Biwakwango and well balanced between the 3 major parks Lower Zambezi, South Luangwa and Kasanka. The lodges were perfect both for their hospitality and for the various activities proposed and organized by competent guides. We really enjoyed our trip and recommend it for canoe on Zambese and Muchingi climb! Thank you Thierry and we will fully rely on you for our next African adventure!

After two trips with Biwakwango, it's like travelling with a close friend
Our trip to Namibia (the second with Biwakwango, after South Africa) for a group of 8 was organised around our specific requirements and interests, and was meticulously planned for over a year. Thierry catered for a all our demands and offered excellent value for money. Highlights of the trip included seeing the Namib desert at dusk and dawn, approaching the Damaraland elephants during a day trek, the endless variety of wildlife in Etosha, and the river trips on the Kavango and Zambezi. We may well return again soon!

I will come back in Southern Africa with Biwakwango
We contacted Thierry at Biwakwango in order to organize for our family (2 parents and our 2 youngest children a 2 weeks trip in South Africa.
The target was to have a first impresssion of this beautiful country, choosing small strutures along the way.
We did a clockwise trip starting at Kruger Park then Swaziland, Thonga Beach, Drakensberg and finishing by Cape Town.
Our teenagers were enthusiastic (and it is not so easy !) especially by the Rhino walking trials experience in the Kruger Park. We saw the big 5, Ugly 5 and more than expected.
All lodges chosen were very good (and not too big).
Thank you very much Thierry.
Chantal and Christian

unforgettable tour
with a couple of friends we were looking to make a trip to South Africa, combining safaris and walking treks off the beaten tracks. We approached Thierry from Biwakwango, a local travel agency. The various proposals that were given to us, did meet our expectations. So we chose one of their proposals and in the end this choice was very judicious. We went for 19 days in November 2015 and did safaris, treks in the Drakensberg (climbing the amphitheatre) swaziland, lesotho and mountain table, as well as visiting the Cape region and its vineyards. Thierry very quickly made us feel comfortable and more than just a guide, we found a real pal. His extraordinary knowledge of wildlife, his capacity to do treks in beautiful an amazing places and his devotion to cook for us every day a different meal, have contributed to make this trip an unforgettable one. We are strongly recommending Biwakwango
