Excellent
The service was world class. We we booked into a loge for the night with a lake view. The tour guide was great. He took us to the park during the day and night. We had a great boat ride on the lake. Lake Basin did a great job at proving us with an itenary for each day that we could change up as needed. We visited the salt lake and saw first hand how the salt is mined. Lake Basin tours so far has the best touring experience that I have attended.

Private Tour - all was perfect!
I did a private tour with Mzanzi in Western Cape end of 2013. It was all very well organized, we visited nice places and the lodges we stayed are all beautiful and nice. On this tour we also had the possibility to do walks and game-drives in private reserves. The communication was very good - the guide knows a lot of things in the nature and told us a lot things about South Africa. I really can say: very good! I really can recommend it.

Review about Botswana by Hennie Lacock
You'll have to search far to experience African Wildlife and the African Bush better than in Botswana. It has endless scenic beauty wherever you go, the wildlife is absolutely amazing and the bird life will not let you down either.
Heaven on Earth!
What a special place, doing special work! Wildlife was diverse, abundant and showed many natural behaviors. Not touristy nor overcrowded--a plus. Fantastic accommodations and the guides were phenomenal. Highlight--giraffe and zebra being "shooed" off dirt airstrip as we landed.

Our African Safari with Africa VIP Travel and Kambona Mollel exceeded our expectations
My spouse, brother-in-law and I traveled with Kambona on a photo safari and it was magnificent. I wanted to book directly with an African-based company and wanted to bypass the large travel companies that obviously take a percentage of the cost of a trip. It was a great feeling knowing that the entire cost of the trip went to an African entrepreneur. I have nothing against the large international travel companies but wanted to support a smaller company in Africa. Wow, the communications were amazing!!! I would send an email from my home in Canada with a question and in one case the answer came back 11 minutes later. If Kambona would be unavailable for a few days he let me know in advance in case I had any pressing questions. I thought that going on a safari with just 3 people, rather than a group, would be too expensive but the cost was well worth the trip. Whatever we wanted to do, e.g., spend more time watching lions, we did. This was excellent rather than having to be subjected to the vote of a larger group that wanted to take a photo and move on somewhere else. Kambona was very knowledgeable, carried lots of reference books and often joined us for supper at the end of day. Our days were well planned and we saw everything we hoped to see. It was always our decision to move on to our next stop. The itinerary, service and accommodations were excellent. Although we had a minor vehicle problem (as did some other very large tour companies), which is not unexpected on the rough roads, our problem was fixed very quickly. What stands out in my mind is that when our trip started we were customer and client. When we left Kambona we felt we were leaving a very close friend.
Providential from start to finish
Meeting Tony on the flight to Uganda was the beginning of our great experience with Speke Uganda Holidays. How well we could work out the last minute details of payment was great evidence of a good business man who could also understand the unique circumstances of our very specialized package. The time in the Murchison Park was a great highlight for our group which needed this time to unwind from the intense time we had just come from in north west Uganda. Thanks for picking us up in the north and bringing us to the airport, with such a great times viewing such abundant and beautiful creations of God, who made all this possible.

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!!

Amazing!!!
We spent 6 days through the Serengeti park and the NgoroNgoro crater, and we had the best trip of our life!! Everything was just perfect: detailed planning and organization with Roberto, nice and professional guide and driver, high quality accomodations in the midst of nature. We saw thousands of animals and all the Big 5!! The great migration is an unbelievable experience, and Savannah Explorer gave us the possibility to live it at its best!!!
