Papa was an excellent tour operator
I had a great time in Tanzania with this company.
They were always on time, very accommodating, “Papa” - the tour guide - gave us a lot of information about the country and the parks.
The mid-range lodges they recommended were very good and the customer service, the food, the tents and rooms in those places were also good.
The only place I didn’t quite like was the first hotel. The rooms were small and uncomfortable.
Apart from that I will totally recommend this company to do the safari tours.

Review about Hell's Gate National Park by Mary Harvey
It was very different and great to be able to walk in this park and get close to the animals.

Tansania 7 days safari
We did a 7 days Tanzania safari. Overall we had a very nice trip and have seen a lot. The lodges were awsome and the animals just amazing. The price for value is good and the communication with the agency was fast and easy. The guide did a good job during the safari. Unfortunately he get in touch with us again two weeks after the safari and asked us for money for his family - not what you expect from upper price safari tour.

Amazing Experience!
Everything was amazing.
Safari - I was expecting more wildlife for 4 days. Hope to have a new opportunity to do a safari in another country to compare it.
Landscapes/beach - amazing. Good weather, views, water temperature and visibility.
People - very friendly. Negotiate on markets, not agressive on selling. Never felt insecure and everyone likes to talk with you (very curious).

Very responsible operator
Very good and reliable in general. We expected more from the driver, he used his mobile a lot and we initiated the Safaris too late (around 7.30)

Good Price for the whole Experience
Tour Details:
4 days, 3 nights.
Public campsite (tents)
Shared vehicle (we were 3 and it could be shared for + 4).
Serengeti National Park
Tarangire National Park
Ngorongoro Crater
Lake Manyara National Park
Pros:
- Very affordable considering the overall experience ($750 / person - all expenses included).
- Amazing food considering all the limitations (no markets, kitchen,...).
- We were able to see 4 out of the big 5s: very close actually - 1m -, we actually saw a rhyno but it was miles away.
- Other animals like: lions, leopards, elephants, giraffe, zebras, warthogs, gazelles, hyenas,.. also close (1m). Cheetah and ostrich was pretty close (30-50m).
- Jeep experience.
1st day = Guide + 7 people.
On 1st day the person close to the driver's seat was not able to have a good experience (no rooftop and limited windows) - however, it was not part of our group, so we did not care.
2-4th day = Guide + 5 people.
On the other days, with 5 people, it was amazing. Space enough for everyone. Everyone has a big window (no middle seat) and we can open the rooftop to enjoy the experience.
Cons:
- The guide for the 4 days was not very passionate about the experience.
- Expected to start the experience before dawn to have a better chance to see hunts. Not really, very lazy guide.
- Long hours until we reach our destination. Half of your day is spent on the road, stops for food, wc,.. Which is normal, but we had the feeling sometimes it was too much.
- Our sleeping bags had a bad smell.. we had to sleep with a lot of clothes.
- Our hostel was changed on the 1st day without proper notice. The one communicated was way better (+swimming pool). Not a big deal but not good communication.
- Taxes for the payment. You are counting with a big value (thousands of €$) and then you have to add +5%. This can be negotiated as most of the time you can complain and pay 3.5%. I get it, but please keep this in mind.

Wonderful experience in Namibia
We chose Nature Travel Namibia as they seemed the right people to satisfy our holiday needs. Email exchange was very professional and the itinerary prepared by Amber was extremely detailed. Only drawback encountered was a defective tailgate in our pickup truck from day 1
which hindered loading/unloading heavy luggage. Luckily our guide Wilson happened to be an extraordinary person, but also an expert in flora, fauna and geology. He made our holiday a great one!

Nice safari, great animals but....
The tour was very good. We have seen a lot of animals. Great guide-Abu, and great cooker-Mattieu. The National Parks were amazing. The place to sleep-very well. Plan of this tour very well.
But....I would like to write that in this company, if you take private tour...this not always mean this will be a private...and not more than 6 person could be...7. First day the company put to our car 2 another people. It was a private tour-we paid many us a private tour. Even if I try to explain that this is a tour only for me and 4 my friends, the man from company tell me that there is no word "private" in my documents. I was to nervous to could find the note (which was on my document from the company that this is a safari for group not bigger that 6 person...with to other person (Michał i Sandra) they joined to our group in the car there was 7 people and the guide. The couple which share with us our PRIVATE safari paid 500 dolar for this one day tour. I think this never should happen. If they asked I suppose we will agree for company other person, but the way they do this it was not nice. The woman from company told us sorry...but the firs day was awful. After the first day, for the next day we were only in 5 people )plus of course guide and cooker).
