Kanuth Safari Adventure
Prompt, courteous, informative, and an all around great person. I began my travel plans with Kanuth from the United States over e-mail. I booked a trip from Dar to Mikumi. Kanuth was so helpful and reassuring throughout the entire process. I cant say enough about how wonderful the trip was, and how professional Kanuth is. Thank you for some of the most memorable memories of my life!

Mikumi
We made a safari after a beach holiday in Zanzibar. We contacted kanuth on the phone and arranged three days really beautiful in Mikumi NP.
Kanuth was very professional and guided us in the park in his best moments. Do not underestimate the great views that has allowed us to find a pack of 10 with 2 small lions.
Really highly recommended.

I have travelled through many African countries since the 1970s. Since my first visit to Tanzania in 1999 I have adopted this country as my favorite place world wide. I have written a number of articles about the amazingly beautiful scenery in Tanzania, its wonderful people and culture, and its fantastic wildlife. Since 2003, after my first safari with Kanuth, I have never used any other Tour Operator during my many visits to Tanzania.

Experience of a lifetime!
We just completed a 5-days safari where we went to Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater. Mike, who organized the trip, was very good at communicating with us and the choice of itinerary & accommodation was perfectly tailored to our request.
Our guide was Elias and our cook was Gabriel, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! They did an outstanding job of making sure that we were satisfied, comfortable, and safe. Our journey had some setbacks - our camp got flooded after a storm, and our wheel broke on the rough roads of Serengeti - but in both cases they acted very quickly and effectively to arrange us an alternative accommodation or transportation. Not everyone in a similar situation was as lucky…
The food prepared by Gabriel was amazing (and perfectly ‘digestible’ even for a sensitive European stomach)! We also spent one day with Merinyo - both he and Elias were excellent guides, fun and providing lots of information. We saw a full spectrum of African animals ranging from lizards to leopards (in addition to many many lions…) and our car was well networked with other ones so we never missed out when something important was going on.
Thanks to Mike, Elias, Gabriel and Merinyo, our safari adventure was experience of a lifetime!

Great experience!
I had a wonderful time with Nature Travel Namibia!
August 2013, 2 people. After a start in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, I was looking for someone organizing the transfer to Caprivi region of Namibia. The idea was first to explore Caprivi, then go to Etosha and “normal” touristic route. It happened that the only company based in Katima Mulilo (the biggest city in Caprivi, near the border with Botswana) was Tutwa/Nature Travel Namibia (NTN). So I tried with them. And I was not disappointed at all!
Nick Buys, from NTN, first organized me the private transfer. Then he explained me that visiting the Caprivi parks self-driving was not the best choice (Caprivi is not Etosha!) and he offered me his services. Since I’m a keen birdwatcher and fauna-lover, I was intrigued by the fact that Nick was a birdwatcher himself. So I fixed 5 days with him in Caprivi, Katima to Rundu.
It was a marvellous experience. The organization was perfect – the experience and knowledge of Nick was the real bonus of our trip. He knew everything – the best lodges near the parks, the best spots in the parks (we visited Nkasa Rupara, Bwabwata, Mahango, Mudumu), the best areas to do birdwatching, the best boat excursions to see wildlife. You have to trust someone, in a region like Caprivi with so little infrastructure and so little possibility to go by yourself – and Nick is the right person to trust. Birdwatching speaking, he was great – he managed to spot lots of Okawango specialities, including Lesser Jacana, White-backed Night Heron, Luapula Cisticola and many more!
I want to underline a point. Taking a private tour with a private guide is quite expensive. But it’s the only way to explore Caprivi – without a guide, you could not spot a single elephant. Yes, you can take the game drives organized by the lodges, but to have a personal guide with you, ready to explain everything about the life in the bush, is a real privilege. Also, Nick is fond of camping – we spent a wonderful night bush-camping in Nkasa Rupara, we’ll remember it for a longtime. We had a great time together.
I would recommend NTN to anyone travelling to Caprivi and to Namibia. Nick also knows Etosha really well, he gave us a lots of suggestions about the best waterholes to see animals – and he was right (we were on our own there). So if you want to see animals during your trip to Namibia, NTN is the right company. And I’m sure that also in Botswana and Zambia he knows how to organize the perfect trip.

Very Professional
All communications leading up to our trip was excellent. The trip was truly amazing we had a great time in both Samburu and Maasai mara. The flights, the transfers and choice of accommodation at elephant bedroom camp and the Mara West camp was outstandingly marvelous. We saw almost all the animals we wished to, including 3 sightings of leopards as well as rhinos. This was a trip of a life time.
Cannot say enough of e safaris but your services deserve the highest of merit. Keep up it guys.

By far the best Safari ever !
We planned to go Skiing in Germany but after three days the snow started to melt so we decided to see if we can go on Safari as my wife has never been to Africa. I got in contact with Shadows of Africa and everything was arranged in just two days with all the parks and attractions we wanted to see. Service was perfect, from the first pick-up at the airport back to the drop off after one spectacular week. Our driver was very friendly and most important very knowledgeable, we had a lot of fun during our week.
We even decided to change some accommodations for some days while already on Safari and it was not a problem at all, you can really plan your safari on a budget or as luxury as you want and Shadows of Africa makes sure it will be your best vacation ever.
Natasha is a professional in her field, very focused on customer satisfaction which you will notice once you are picked up and the drivers phone rings to make sure you have been picked-up in time and all it ok, outstanding service.
Thank you Shadows of Africa and our driver Sariko for a wonderful week .... !

A Namibian trip of a lifetime, Indigo Safaris totally gave me the complete package.
The whole itinerary ran smoothly. Christopher was an excellent, trustworthy field guide. His extensive knowledge about animals, plants, geography and local history, imparted with great enthusiasm, humour and his love for nature, made our safari an experience I’ll never forget. I loved the variety of camping spots, and the tents on the top of the vehicles were quickly-erected and efficient accommodation. I discovered that Christopher makes a mean camp cook and we shared some great meals and fireside chats. When looking for the perfect shot, Christopher’s patience was endless and his tips were very useful – I came back with some of the best photos I have ever taken. I had an absolutely fantastic time and completely recommend Indigo Safaris to those who want to see the real Namibia.
