A truly special experience, a must on your trip to Africa
We loved everything about our canoe Safari. The animals, the scenery, the excitement, the peacefulness, the guides who were extremely knowledgeable, the equipment and the food. We couldn't fault it! It was the best part of our three week trip to four countries in Africa.

Best safari experience
Our sfari driver was Hilary and he is the best. Full of energy and amazing stories and fnny jokes. We had a lot of fun on a 4-day safari (which is totally enough if you want to see all the antional parks). We saw the big 5 group, which was unforgetable. Staying in tents can be really exicitng since you're sleeping surrounded with zebras and bivols, so I would not change it to lodge. Only thing I would not miss is visiting Masai village. It's too commercial already. You better visit Hundzabi tribe which is really interesting (still living in caves).

Don't book with this company, you'll be desappointed
We booked a group tour and paid for it a couple of months in advance. We aggreed with Tony on a particular itinerary that we carefuly planned out, including 4 safari NP, a walking safari, two tracks and a list of specific lodges we wanted.
When we started the tour it slowly became obvious that we were taken on one of the regular itineraries instead of the one we agreed on. Every day we had to argue about the schedule and make Tony change our route. After one such argument we got our walking safary, only to be taken to literaly a sheep-shit full field nowhere near the reservation. It took some more arguing and nerves for us to be taken on a "real" walking safari. Needless to say that most of the lodges were not the ones aggreed upon in advance, though it being the off season I have to say the lodges we stayed in were more or less on the same level. Still frustrating. Our driver guide was more of a driver than a guide, most of the time just driving us around in quiet. To top it all, the jeep was old and in horrific condition. The ceiling leeked water throughout the tour and we had no less than 6 flat tiers, the last 2 happening in the midst of the Serengeti NP with no spares and no cellphone connection. Luckily we were picked up by another tour group, but than spent the entire day at the hotel waiting for our driver guide to fix the car. No need to tell you how expencive a safari day is and how annoying it is to miss one like that. Got to say Tony paid us back half the price for the day, still waiting on the other half.
In short, very frustraiting. All that we agreed on in advance was completely meaningless as far as Tony was concerned. Don't book a tour with him.

An unforgettable experience.
Our guides were very experienced and we had a wonderful 10 days in 3 separate camps. Our game drives were punctuated with morning tea and sundowners. When we got back to camp the fire was lit and we were served delicious meals. Having covered vehicles meant we were warm in the cold early mornings and felt secure all day. Jane's love and knowledge of the animals and Botswana was very obvious and we looked forward to her story telling around the camp fire each evening.

Stunning
I had the pleasure of visiting Tarangire National Park as the first stop in my 9 day Safari with Fed Safaris which covered Tarangire, Lake Natron, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. It was the perfect starting point and I'm glad the guide talked me into doing it, over extended even longer in Serengeti. We had a little longer, which meant one full day in the park and that gave us access to some of the more remote roads. At one point we were in the middle of a confluence of elephant families. In total I counted just under 100. I've never seen anything like it. At another point as we headed back to the camp I looked over and spotted a small group of lionesses and their near-adult cubs. As they walked, the light rain stopped and an incredible rainbow framed them, including a Baobab in the background (truly). How do you beat that? Amazing place and the guide and extra time really made a big difference.

Awesome experience!
We stayed at Kimbo Safari Camp just outside the Park itself. Accomodations were in tents (my wife would say we were "Glamping"). Food was excellent buffet style meals. Our guide were the best, Bya our guide was very knowledgable in both wildlife and plantlife. He was also very helpful in setting up photos, he knew his stuff!

Namibian tour designed just for you with great Namib desert and Etosha Game Reserve experiences!
We had a great 12 day trip through parts of Namibia. We were a family of 4 with a guide provided just for us.
We traveled in a comfortable vehicle from Windhoek into the Namib desert, to Swakopmund, then onto Etosha Game Reserve finishing with a great stop over at the Okinjima Afrikat Foundation to see some leopards and cheetahs.
Esmari was very helpful with arrangements at nature Travel Namibia and our guide Holger was very helpful, experienced and informative.
We were very pleased with the fabulous Namib desert experience, and also with the amount of beautiful African animals that we saw in Etosha National Park.
The accommodation all worked well- and particularly enjoyed staying at Okaukuejo Resort with the access to the water hole for animal viewing!
The Africat Foundation Okinjima was also a particular highlight with lovely rooms, food and experiences. We recommend 2 days there instead of only one.
Holger looked after us very well and we are very pleased with how it all went.
We definitely recommend this tour to other people.
