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.

We had the adventure of a lifetime!
They allowed us to customize our tour and answered all of our questions, before and during the tour. Our guide took wonderful care of us and helped us make the most of our time.

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.

Another Suberb Safari
Lauren Johanssen has set up 2 safari's for us and they have probably beed 2 of the best trips we have ever taken and we are very experience travelers. Our most recent trip was to Zimbabwe and Botswana. In Victoria Falls we stayed at Elephant Camp and it was spectacular. We went on a walk with Sylvester (a cheetah that lives in the camp) and it was an experince we won't ever forget. In Botswana we stayed at 2 &Beyond camps and loved them both. We have done very well by Lauren.
P.S. Our previous sfari was to Kenya and we stayed at 3 Porini camps and I would highly recommend them. not only were they great but environmentally friendly as well. We have sent other friends there and they have loved them as well.

Thierry from Biwakwango organised our 5 star honeymoon in Botswana and Zambia, simply brilliant !
We contacted Thierry from Biwakwango in August 2013, explaining him that we wanted to go to Africa for our honeymoon. Thierry very quickly picked up our interests and what we were looking to experience, and came up with a proposal which matched all our requirements, as we wanted to mix top-class safaris, adventure and luxury.
Not only was he very quickly available to discuss the details with us (despite the fact that he's often on the road, or in the bush), but we also appreciated his relaxed and friendly approach, and our discussions on sustainable development and ecology, issues that are very important to us. By the way, he did not hesitate to recommend us not to go for certain experiences we had thought of, as they would have disappointed us from a conservation/ecology point of view, which we very much appreciated.
During our trip, everything was flawless and we did not have to worry about the organisation (park fees, plane transfers, road transfers, ...). Besides, Thierry informed us of many important issues such as vaccines, visas, and was very helpful and knowledgeable on everything that you should be aware of before going on such a trip, which prevented bad experiences!
To sum up, we are very thankful to Thierry for having organised such a memorable and oustanding trip in Botswana and Zambia, probably one of, if not the best trip we have ever experienced. We are always very demanding when we travel, and are much involded in the preparation of our trips. Thierry definitely did a great work with us and no doubt that we will contact him again for our next journeys to Africa. Thank you!

Fantastic personal service!
This was our 6th trip to Tanzania and our second time with Zed Safaris. We had previously taken part in a group tour booked through them which had gone without a hitch. We therefore approached Zed for our individual tour with a driver. The attention to detail in the planning phase with an eye on the costs was great and communication was prompt and to the point.
Everything went smoothly from the moment we arrived in Dar Es Salaam. Fantastic knowledgeable (and safe) driver, very comfortable vehicle, always sufficient soft drinks on board, great choice of accommodation and a route that surpassed our expectations. Best of all the loan of a local pre-paid mobile phone by Zed Safaris which helped us enormously because coming from Europe our mobile phones wouldn't work.
We had an amazing vacation thanks to a 5 star service by Zed Safaris!
