Safaris in Botswana and Namibia
We had the delightful experience of booking 2 separate safaris with Nature Travel Namibia. We spent 6 days in Botswana and a week in Namibia.
The trip was almost seamless, with complex transfers by van, small planes to Okavango Delta locations, and truck safaris to remote places all mixed into one trip. Nicolette Mueller was our liaison for the planning and she always responded in a very timely manner to our thoughts, ideas and logistics planning between the United States and Africa. We particularly appreciated her “paring down” of our ambitious itinerary for both Botswana and Namibia given our time constraints!
All the staff and guides at the lodges and tented camps were professional, kind and paid much attention to the details. We can easily give a particular shout out to Previous Tsvigu, who patiently chauffeured and guided us through the history, animals and landscapes of his adopted country, Namibia. We had one particular experience where we were worn out after a long day’s drive and wanted to rest at the lodge, but Previous felt we needed to see the desert-adapted elephants in Damaraland. We knew that tracking down these animals was hit or miss, so we told him to go it alone, and come back to retrieve us if he found them. Sure enough, he raced out to the sight, found three elephants, and raced back to grab us for what turned out to be a lovely sighting of grazing elephants and a wonderful sundowner experience of the grasslands on the hood of our truck!
These kinds of attention to detail are what separates this travel company from the masses. They are smaller and truly care for their clients’ welfare and experience. The variety of experiences and things we requested (mokaro boat rides) are not always easy to find. Thanks again to Nature Travel Namibia which we can wholeheartedly recommend!

Amazing!!
I spent 4 days in June 2018 with Karen Blackwood and Ernest Porter of Eagle Eye Safaris at Nkorho Bush Lodge in the Sabi Sands area in South Africa.
Both Karen and Ernest were perfect hosts who allways put our demands first and nothing we asked were too much to ask for from them. They are both expert photographers and I learnt more in 4 days about photography than I had in 8 years of taking photo’s.
Ernest is also a Lightroom and Photoshop expert and my editing skills went from 10 to 100% in these few days.
Nkorho Bush Lodge is the perfect place for these safari’s and I can recommend Eagle Eye Safaris to anyone who is interested in photography or just wants to relax in a beautiful setting with lots of wildlife and 2 perfect hosts.
Thank you Karen and Ernest for an unforgettable 4 days. Hope to see you again soon

A trip I'll never forget and made more memorable down to Able safaris
Able Safaris were brilliant from the start to the end of our Safari trip. Lydia helped organise our trip and Deo our Safari guide was thoughtful throughout the trip, very knowledgeable of the wildlife and landscape of Uganda. You could tell he was passionate about his country which made the experience even more amazing. I loved every second of the trip from the gorilla trekking to seeing tree lions, leopards, cruising on a lake in Elizabeth national park, Ape trekking, taking in the view from the mountains, I could go on. If you're thinking of visiting Uganda Able Safaris should be your first call. Thank you so much :)

Two Thumbs Up!!! 120 percent Satisfaction!
We booked the six-day Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park package from Compass Odyssey as part of our trip to Southern Africa this summer. The commutation with Darren was excellent from beginning to finish. He is very responsive, knowledgeable, and super friendly. Very easy to work with. During the planning stage, he was not only giving us detailed information regarding the tour we booked from him, but also went beyond and gave us information and recommendations on the other parts of our trip. Really appreciate his help and ideas.
After we booked the tour, he sent out to us a very detailed safari detailed information package, which includes the detailed itinerary, the detailed descriptions of the accommodations, the detailed descriptions of the places we are to visit, general details regarding visas, Safaris, the detailed activities we can do in Victoria Falls, and many more.
The tour itself was a wonderful experience. The two lodges he picked at Victoria Falls and Chobe are both beautiful and very comfortable. Our local guide Mortimer at Victoria Falls was very professional, experienced, and friendly. He and his wife even invited us for dinner at their house. We really enjoyed the traditional meal they prepared for us and the two-hour long chatting by the camp fire that Mortimer made for us in his front yard. Darren also emailed us during our tour to make sure that everything is on track and satisfied.
Victoria Falls is just so beautiful and powerful. In Chobe National Park, the Safari game drives and boat trips were private. We were so lucky to run into a lot of wildlife.
Thank you Darren again for all your help and the very memorable and amazing experience in Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park!

Right from our pick up at Nairobi Airport to our hotel he was prompt and further on to our adventure to see the wild life Fred was a library of information and humour . He took excellent care to our needs Fred thanks a ton for making this memorable . We are looking forward to come again. .

We took a day hike of Mt. Kilimanjaro (only up to Mandaru Hut) and very much enjoyed our guide!
We had a good day trip to hike up part of Mt. Kilimanjaro. We really appreciated being taken to mass and we enjoyed seeing Mt. Kilimanjaro from afar as we drove to the entry gate. Baraka was a very helpful and patient guide. We really liked seeing some of the monkeys in the forest and how Baraka pointed out some of the beautiful flowers. I think it would be helpful to put in this itinerary that it takes 3 hours from Arusha to get to the main gate and I think that there should be a viewing point of the mountain along the way where we could have gotten out to take pictures (since you do not see the peak along the hike that we did). We are glad that we went and enjoyed Easy Travel’s hospitality.

Amazing trip with AVS
Had such an amazing safari with them. Friendly and well informed guide on our safari to Masai Mara. We were not lucky as we did not witness the migration. Well, since its a natural occurence I guess we were abit unlucky as the wildebeest seems not to have arrived from Serengeti now. We hope to catch it when we visit again. We had sightings of many lions two or three families of cheetahs and a leopard on our second day. Our Nakuru experience was amazing. Wonderful stay at Nakuru Sarova Lion Hill which was the best.
In simple that was one amazing trip. I give a five star and recommend them to anyone,
Thanks Africa Vacation Safaris

Kenya, Beyond our expectations!
Before the start of our trip we had already very good communication with Jake. He really tried to develop a trip adapted to what we want (combination of sport safari and relaxing). When we arrived in Kenya, this was exactly what we got! We really enjoyed the trip with Jake and Ben! Nice safari bus (with african motives) to get around Kenya, beautiful places to spent the night with great scenery. Safaris beyond our expectations, biking trip in hells gate next to the giraffes and zebras, really nice!
