Excellent tour operator. Criss Cross organized a fantastic and diversified trip in Namibia,
As we discovered the proposed tour " 16-day Namibian diversity" on Safaribookings, we contacted André and Michelle, owners of Criss Cross.
They were very reactive and always available.
We didn't change anything in the program which is both complete to discover most highlights of the country and to profit totally of each step.
Our guide and driver Dewald, a native Namibian, had an excellent knowledge of the country, geography, history, people and animals and provided us excellent explanation. But, first of all, he's a good, attentive and friendly person, we spent so good moments with him.
Organization was perfect with never any problem.
The choice of the lodges/hotels was also excellent: many were luxurious but not too expansive, some more modest but located in fantastic places and very confortable.
After one night in Windhoek, we spent 2 days at Mount Etjo safari lodge: it's a a very big private reserve where you can see most of wild animals, esp. rhinos during good shared game-drives.
At Etosha we stayed at Overland safari lodge, nice and luxurious, located in a private reserve. you can see rhinos coming very close to the lodge and the swimming-pool.
Grootberg lodge has probably one of the most fantastic view of Namibia,overlooking the Klip river valley. There, we would recommend rhino-tracking experience and the sundowner drive.
Perfectly integrated in the landscape of hills with big red boulders, Mowani mountain camp is one of our preferred lodges with also a fantastic view. They provide desert elephants game-drives with good chances to see them and visit of Twyfelfontein engraved rocks.
Cape cross gave us the opportunity to see thousands of seals, the lodge, comfortable, is located in the middle of nowhere, so exotic!
The Strand hotel in Swakopmund is extremely confortable with a see view. They have excellent restaurants esp. for see-foods and oysters.
From Swakopmund, we had a nice cruise in Walwis Bay and a so beautiful drive into the dunes of Sandwich harbor.
The Mirage is a very comfortable lodge, near Sossusvlei and close to the balloons safari departure. in a first time we didn't choose this balloon adventure, our guide recommended to do it, and it is really exceptional! Then, a drive to the so beautiful dunes of Sossusvlei and Deadvlei.
Finally, we spent one night at Bagatelle boutique hotel, an excellent lodge in Kalahari. The last game drive...
It was a dream tour, certainly one of the best of our life.
Thanks Criss Cross, thanks Dewald

Awesome
Can’t say enough good things about Mr. Ombeni. He’s one of those guides who just gets it — smart, kind, and unbelievably good at spotting animals.
We saw things we never expected to see, and his stories and jokes made the drives fly by.
He turned a regular safari into something unforgettable.

Great Coordination of Activities
My wife and I had a three night fly in safari to the Maasai Marra. Our tour included pick up at the Nairobi airport and transport to Wilson airport, flights to the Mara accommodations food and activities at the Engai Mara Lodge, the return flight to Nairobi and transportation to the airport. Everything went according to plan. The Engai Mara Lodge was great. The Safari with our guide Lewice were spectacular. The service at the lodge was also exceptional. The staff was knowledgeable and very nice. When we returned to Nairobi, the driver offered to take us to other activities in Nairobi. We were pretty tired and just decided to use a day rate hotel until our flights left that night. That was perfect for us. We stayed at the Crowne Plaza near the airport for a cost of $125.

Amazing experience that I will never forget.
Our guide in Tanzania, Zadock, was absolutely amazing! Extremely professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about his work. He explained everything in such an interesting and clear way — from the wildlife to the culture and history of the area. Always kind, patient, and with a great sense of humor, he made every day of the trip unforgettable.
We learned so much thanks to him, and truly couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommended — ask for Zadock!

The Safari of a Lifetime – Seamless, Personalized & Truly Magical!
Our 4-day-safari with ReWild Away in June 2025 was truly the trip of a lifetime. From the very first contact, the experience was perfectly handled. Ineke supported us with building the itinerary, customizing every detail to match our interests, and organizing everything down to the smallest point. The communication was outstanding—fast, clear, and always incredibly helpful. Every question was answered within minutes, and we felt completely taken care of throughout.
Our guide, Jackson, was absolutely the best we could have hoped for. Incredibly knowledgeable about wildlife and nature, he shared fascinating insights during every game drive. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible sightings and experiences. Beyond his expertise, he was also just a wonderful human—kind, patient, friendly, and always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. We felt in the best hands every day.
The accommodations were exceptional—carefully selected, luxurious, and beautifully located in nature. Each hotel and lodge brought its own charm and style, and the quality and service were consistently top-notch. Even the safari vehicle stood out—comfortable, clean, and even came with personalized water bottles, which was such a thoughtful touch.
We visited both Amboseli National Park and Lumo Conservancy, and the diversity of landscapes and wildlife was breathtaking. Every day brought new adventures, incredible sightings, and unforgettable memories.
ReWild Away also went the extra mile by organizing train tickets for the next leg of our journey—showing just how committed they are to a full-service, stress-free experience.
We can’t recommend ReWild Away highly enough. If you're looking for a customized, professional, and truly magical safari, this is it. Everything was on time, perfectly arranged, and exceeded all our expectations.

Amazing agency!
It was a fantastic experience, very well organized. From the moment I contacted Edison, they were professional and very kind. They fulfilled all our requests without any problems. The trip organization was impeccable, punctual and precise in everything. The gorilla and chimpanzee trekking were among the most beautiful experiences of our lives. The country has incredible landscapes and fabulous people. Our choice of lodges, based on the options given, was spot on. They were very beautiful and we ate deliciously. My husband and I definitely recommend them for this experience. You won't regret it!

They delivered an unforgettable South African safari experience with exceptional service
Our stay in South Africa was an incredible experience made even more special by Theodore, our driver and guide along the Panorama Route. His knowledge, friendliness, and passion for the region brought every stop to life, and he made us feel comfortable and cared for throughout the journey. The tour operator’s organization, attention to detail, and choice of guides like Theodore truly made this trip unforgettable.

EXCELLENCE IN SERVICE
The Safari with Colours of Africa Tours was perfect from the beginning.
I chose this local agency because Jemesina answered me all my doubts and questions in a few minuts. She was always very, very quick and helpful with every question and adapt the safari to us.
Our guide, Norton was the best. The best driver we could have, we felt all time very safe and he has a lot of experience, so he helped us to see the Big 5 and other animals very well.
We loved the experience and Colours Africa Tours helped to it.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Truly Incredible Safari Experience!
Our 4-day safari in Tanzania was absolutely amazing thanks to Pendi, our guide, and Lucy, the safari manager.
Pendi’s 15+ years of experience truly showed — his knowledge of the land, animals, and culture made every moment fascinating. His driving skills through the Serengeti and steep Ngorongoro terrain were phenomenal, and he made the trip so fun. It seemed like he knew someone at every stop!
Lucy was outstanding — she customized our itinerary to fit everything we wanted, stayed in constant communication, and even met us at the end of the trip to make sure everything was perfect.
Our schedule included two unforgettable days in the Serengeti (Four Seasons Serengeti), one day in the Ngorongoro Crater (Manyara Escarpment Luxury Lodge), and a culture tour in Mto wa Mbu with Barracka.
Barracka led an incredible local experience — cycling through rice and banana farms, visiting a Maasai tribe, and exploring local art galleries.
If you book this safari, ask for Pendi and Barracka — they’ll make your experience truly unforgettable!
