Well-planned, comfortable and personal safari at a very reasonable price
I was travelling with two other lovely ladies, my mum and aunt, who weren't very used to Kenyan roads and traffic. We were very impressed by how we always felt in safe hands, the hotels were well-picked , and all the staff members we met during our journey always did their best to take care of us. They were also very flexible , e.g. when the weather turned out to be colder than expected in Mara, we got accomodation inside instead of in tents. We also appreciated very much staying in sustainable lodging.

Super Tour Company, A Real African experience.
I was a little skeptical at first as there are so many tour operators and options, but I can say that after the whole tour and everything, that it was an awesome experience and I wouldn't trade my time spent for anything. In terms of the actual tour operator I can't say that there were any problems, the owners and staff were super friendly and the food (really important to me) was first class. A great job overall and I would use them again. Thanks for the Tour!

Great experience with Makasa Tanzanian Safaris
Everything was very good organized: The transport from and to the airport, the accommodation, the safari... We have seen the real African life very closely: we went on a coffee tour with local farmers, we visited a school for girls next to our guest house and we made a tour through Moshi Town.
Further we went on safari to Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. These parks are totally different from each other, every park has its own characteristics which you can enjoy. Thanks to our experienced guide we've seen many beautiful things, animals and landscapes. We saw all the animals of the big 5: lots of lions and elephants, buffalos, leopards and rhinos. Many times the animals came very close to our car: lions sitting in the shade of our car, a leopard crossing the road behind our car, a mother elephant with her baby passing our car... We've seen a group of hundreds of zebras on the run; we've seen a female lion chasing zebras (without success); we've seen a brave (or stupid) buffalo chasing away 2 lions, but then he got chased himself by the lions, with success. Luckily for this buffalo the other buffalos came to rescue him. This was the most spectacular thing we've seen. It was really amazing to see that the whole group of buffalos (appr. 100) came closer and closer to chase the lions away. The lions ran away behind the cars, all looking to this spectacle.
All these beautiful things were made possible by our guide. He also drove us safely from one beautiful place to another. He shared his experiences and knowledge with us.
We ended our vacation with a stay at Zanzibar: Sun, sea and beach!

Fantastic experience in every way!
We decided less than a month before departure to do a southern Africa trip. I researched about fifteen tour operators that had good reviews and contacted seven. Nature Travel Namibia quickly rose to the top and responded almost immediately—hours and days before anyone else. They offer a wide variety of established tours or will create a personal one that meets all your needs. The owner, Nick Buys, was able to arrange all within days and got the desired bookings for a 15 day tour of Namibia, Botswana, and Zambia. Everything worked perfectly!
A native of Namibia, he is a wildlife expert, especially birds. He also runs birding trips to a number of places. He can spot one on the wing from a hundred yards away and tell you exactly what it is, describe its habits, relationship to other birds, etc. His knowledge is absolutely amazing. He’s equally good with all wildlife. He’d say, “There’s a zebra,” long before I could see it even with him pointing. This isn’t just a job for him. You can tell he truly loves what he’s doing. His goal is to create the greatest trip possible. He’s very flexible and put our interests and comfort above all else. What sets him apart even further from others is his wonderful sense of humor and genuine, passionate enthusiasm. It’s very infectious. So beware! You may never want to leave and will be determined to return many times. I’ve traveled to 40 countries and this was my third trip to Africa. Never have I had such a fulfilling and exciting experience. Five plus stars. Highly recommended.

An amazing adventure, seamless connections, and attentive service.
An amazing adventure in Namibia, Victoria Falls and Kruger Park. Madelein customized our travel plans, and everything went smoothly - car rental, accommodations, and air travel. We loved Swakopmund and the sand dunes, a great way to start our adventures.

Best ever trip to South Africa
I dealt with Madeleine and she was terrific. She organized the whole trip in a very professional manner. The trip exceeded my expectations. I intend to go to any trip Madeleine will recommend to me.

Philip C. is the right person you want aside on a travel like the one i took in Namibia
I'm very satisfied with Africa Windows Safaris & Tours overall service. Our guide, Philip C., is a machine, capable of driving 400 km a day a still giving you prompt information requested or not. I appreciated very much also the (not granted) "Savoir-faire" with local managers, guides, drivers on our behalf.
