Good morning South Africa again
Thanks to Biwakwango and Thierry. We have discovered a fabulous country. We had the opportunity to meet locals people, each with his own history and traditions. Most of the time walking we appreciated a wonderful nature, animals as well as plants. Biwakwango and Thierry make feel like returning to South Africa some day.

Fantastic trekking in pure nature
Our trip was not an as usual safari tour, but a fantastic 14-days trekking through different landscapes in South-African mountains and Lesotho. Everything was perfectly organised : transport, food, various accomodations, walk-itinerary and meetings with local population. With sympathy and sense of humour as a bonus!
Thank you Thierry & Biwakwango !
An exceptionnal trip
We had a very nice trip in South Africa, thanks to our guide who did a wonderful job preparing our journey through South Africa.I enjoyed Tsitsikamma Park, and the time we spent walking in the bush.
All the restaurants we went to were deliciously chosen, guesthouses were just perfect.
Biwakwango has a very well studied team: Thierry, our precious guide, Garret our kind driver and Cardy the Masterchief of our meals in the bush. Everything was over our expectations and I truly recommand this company if you want to spend a wonderful time discovering South Africa.

Three perfect and amazing weeks for discovering South Africa, Swaziland and Lesotho
Preparation of the safari was very easy : Biwakwango was able to understand our expectations very quickly ! During the trip, all reservations were ok and were in accordance with the descriptions given. We followed the many advices given by Biwakwango and we have never been disappointed (roads, view points, accomodations).

An unforgettable journey!!!
I organized a journey / birthday / surprise in South Africa for 40 years of my husband with Biwakwango. The circuit was very sensible coach on 8 days, we visited the region of the Cape (with the big white / shivers), region of wines, then towards Durban a charming small reserve, and finally a magic lodge at the edge of the Ocean, far from everything, a jewel (meeting with a tortoise luth/émotion).
The choice of ghests house, the circuit... Everything was completed. I shall return to South Africa: it is certain, and undoubtedly with Biwakwango. Thank you Thierry!

The right choice to experience the real Africa
I first dealt with the team BIWAKWANGO in 2009, for a trip with my son in South Africa. The travel agency that I contacted organized his travels through it. We were a group of 8 people , and it is Thierry,the founder of BIWAKWANGO, who accompanied us.
After a visit in Johannesburg (the city center, Mandela house , Soweto ), we went to the Kruger Park. We stayed in two camps, different in their design and organization , which allowed us to have a different approach. We stayed in a private nature reserve bordering the Kruger Park. Our camp was reserved, so that the activities were organised according to the group's wishes.We did a few walking safaris, which allows to get closer to animals. During the fist one, we found ourselves about 30 meters away from a group of rinhoceros . Thrills guaranteed! The highlight of this trip was to introduce us to camps and private nature reserves off the beaten track, with a guide who adapted to our requests.
So I naturally thought of BIWAKWANGO when I wanted to experience Africa with my partner. I contacted Thierry asking him to organise a trip in Zambia , with a budget ceiling . As the period of the trip did not correspond to a trip listed in the catalog of BIWAKWANGO, Thierry set up a customized trip, reserving lodges, domestic flights, transfers between lodges, so we had nothing to organise on site and could completely enjoy the trip without any worries. As usual, Thierry found camps and lodges off the beaten track. It matched our expectations even if all of them were not of the same quality, we were well welcomed every time, and each had a paticularity which made it very nice.
This trip is certainly one of the most beautiful trips (if not the most beautiful trip) that I did. Only problem now is that I do not know how to offer a better trip to my companion!!
For those interested, check out the video on Daily Motion called "Safari Zambie Septembre 2011".
Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further information.
Exceptional...
I really appreciate this trip, I have the feeling to visit friends and not to be a tourist in ZA and I really appreciate that, with the guide or in each B&B we have stopped.
We have visit some wonderful place where we were alone, no other tourist.
The trip is focused on nature and respect of nature.
We have the feeling to discover some wonderful places where nobody else came before us, to be some kind of indiana jones or adventurer !

Travel with Biwakwango and your dream becomes a dream
We have been travelling 3 times in Africa with Biwakwango :
• June 2003 : Okavongo,
• September October 2006 : Namibia - Zambia,
• October 2008 : Tanzania
Discovering Africa with Biwakwango organization is the must. For each journey, Biwakwango has got this rare talent to chose every place with a very great attention and professionalism. We are four friends travelling all around the world and we do appreciate luxury lodges and general conditions : we are ready to pay even expensive rates at the only condition that everything is perfect. We were never deceived with Biwakwango and this is the reason why we decided to keep on travelling across Africa always with this same company. Even in luxury conditions, Biwakwango knows how to let us feel the spirit of Africa, its soul, its roots. We met men and women living out of the time and shared unforgettable moments.
For all these reasons, I did chose Biwakwango to organize a very special and luxury lunch in the middle of the Ngorongoro crater in Tanzania to ask my girlfriend to be my wife : she answered Yes!!! And we remain saying that it was the most beautiful and romantic day of our life : What else ?….
