Great safari, organisation can be improved
The safari at Hamiltons Tented Camp was amazing with beautiful wildlife, nature and a great lodge with friendly people.
The experience with the agent was not as great. Originally, we were promised a morning game drive on the last day as part of our package. We agreed on a price and payed. A few weeks later the agent reached out to let us know that we will not be able to have this morning game drive because she booked the returning flights too early. She wanted to make us pay more for different flights so we would be able to still have the morning game drive.
After some push back from my side an alternative solution was offered which was supposed to stay at the original price and still include the morning game drive. However, this solution was not communicated well to the lodge. The employees at Hamiltons were completely unaware the night before our last day.
All in all it was still a great experience. It's just not great when people try to make you pay for their own mistakes.

Review about Timbavati Private Nature Reserve by Mary
The River Lodge which we stayed in was very good, but overall we were surprised that there weren't more animals in the Reserve, yet we did see all the Big 5. At the Lodge, we had elephants walking by our tented suite and one even drank from our plunge pool. Also had hyenas and monkeys close by.

Consulting, organization and acommodation were great!
Balule as a smaller reserve was great, didn't like Kruger as much as it was more a drive in a safari zoo. Tremisana and Marc's treehouse lodge have both been great places stay and very welcoming. The game drives in Balule had been more personal and Rocky our guide had very good instincts. The Bush walk at Marc's treehouse lodge was more about plants and animals' behaviours which was very interesting and added great value to the trip.

Great staff and an excellent value.
Saw tons of wildlife! Wonderful and knowledgeable guides and drivers. Bastian lodge is great. Long drive, but with rest stop and decent food. Highly recommended package. Good value for the money.

They made wonderful arrangements to ensure our enjoyment during the safari
Jacinta was there to receive us for the early morning flight, to ensure we have all papers and tickets in order. The hotels she booked for us in Mara and Serengeti were simply beautiful and full of surprise visits by wild animals near our resort. One thing, we liked about her is, she always responded for calls and messages and that made the bookings and the tour trouble free.
Her team of drivers, James in Mara and Rolando in Serengeti were knowledgeable, patient and accommodative. James had many stories to tell, of course about the animals, and did not leave it till he finished it. I tried to change topic but he always came back to the story. We had a great laugh with him on this.
Rolado was a gem, as a guide. He had all the info and names of the animals. When he was in doubt, he always referred to the booklet and provided the right info. he managed to track all the animals we intended to see and with best position for photos. Tusker and lion cubs were awaesome. Cheetah with 2 babies were tracked by him in the huge savannah and hats off to him.

Kilimanjaro Hike October 2023
Had an unforgettable experience with Almighty Kilimanjaro when hiking up the Machame route in October 2023. Massive thanks to the whole team who work amazingly hard to ensure you reach the summit, particularly the porters who carry all of the equipment, food etc. each day.

Awesome- Best Guide ever
We truly had an exceptional and once-in-a-lifetime experience in Namibia, thanks to one of the finest guides I've encountered during my travels to Africa, Mr. Wilson Garafa. He demonstrated professionalism and shared extensive knowledge throughout the journey, particularly impressing us with his remarkable understanding of wildlife – a true testament to what a wildlife guide should embody. Despite the outstanding experience, my only disappointment lies in Nature Travel Namibia lack of collaboration for a more favorable price. Given its high cost, they sought every last penny from us. If they were more cooperative in this aspect, I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour to others, given my role as a tour leader in my country.. I also would have given them full stars !

Fantastic place to visit and knowledgeable guides
Zimbabwe is a beautiful and peaceful country. We had an amazing time visiting Victoria falls and Chobe. All guides were very knowledgeable. I would recommend anyone wanting to visit Zimbabwe not to hesitate.
