Wonderfull and very original trek guided fully professionnally by Thiery
The Trek itself was very diversified, either in civilised countries either in traditional area of Lesotho .
The services where top class and met all our expactations
The guide has promoted an excellent athmosphere in the group with plenty of Attention to every body and a lot of Humour.

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 !

The Keys points are: Good organization, Authenticity, professionalism
We have been travelling 1 trips in Africa with Biwakwango (December-January 2012 : Sud africa):
Discovering Africa with Biwakwango organization is the excellent opportunity each journey a different positive surprise:
Great attention and professionalism during the trek & natural reserve park, lodges (including in local inhabitant) and general conditions.
We are Five friends travelling all around the world We enjoyed doing this thek with unforgettable moments. If tomorrow we are other opportunity to visit Africa, we will leave with Thierry without forgetting is a cool, sympatical, dynamic people
Enjoy on garden's tour with Thierry and Garret
Our nice guide, Thierry, prepared a specific photographic safari for our group of 17 french people. We enjoyed during 14 days in a cocktail of different types of touristic topics.
A 50 km trek of 4 days in Tsitsikama park, the elephants of addo park, the penguins of Boulders, the sea lions near Cap Town, the Wine route with tasting and 2 days to visit Cap town and Robben island.
That was a really amazing tour. Thierry was always ready to adapt the program to the group members wishes.
The only difficulties I had was with the shocks absorber of our bus, a little bit to old for 1000km in 2 weeks, or more exactly of our truck of bush! My poor back!
Finaly we had some good times and now, a lot of very good souvenirs and thousends pictures.
Thank's to Thierry, Gareth and Cardy

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 ?….

Professionnalism and availability
Destinations and one outstanding services but of which the increases appreciatly every year becomes an obstacle.
Biwakwango is certainly one of the best trip advisors for Africa : Adventure, nature, authenticity
When we decided to follow Thierry, the founder of Biwakwango we didn't imagine a second it would be so wonderful and exciting. 3 times, we used the services of Thierry :
The first trip was in South Africa in the Kruger Park and some private reserves around the Kruger (splendid),
The second was a trip in boat on the Zambèze (incredible adventure we recommend to everybody) with a special new year's eve at Hwange.
The third were in Bostwana were we finally see the wild dogs (fantastic). Each time, Thierry accompanied us excepted the last.
If you want a special trip with adventure and authenticity, choose without any doubt Biwakwango.
