A beautiful Safari throughout Botswanna and Namibia- First Trip to Africa
This was my first trip to Africa and Criss Cross Namibia was wonderful from the get go. Travelling with a friend who had travelled with Thinus before, made booking with Criss Cross Namibia a must. Thinus is a wonderful guide with a wealth of local knowledge throughout not only Namibia but Botswanna as well. I instantly felt comfortable with Thinus as our guide and looked forward to our time with him. From Chobe National Park, to the Okavango Delta, through Etosha national park, Twyfelfontein to the coastal Swakopmund in Namibia Thinus made me feel safe and cared for. I highly recommend using Criss Cross Namibia for any Africa trips!!!

A magical place, primordial!
Visit the park's Serengeti is a bit like leaving for a few days the entire world and immerse themselves in Eden. Yes, this is my idea of paradise. I loved everything about this park, from stunning landscapes to wildlife.

An excellent experience
We are a UK couple who travel as frequently as possible and just to start we need to admit our bias, as this was our third trip to Africa with ATI, and it will not be our last. Each trip they have delivered more than expected or requested and to date our travels with ATI include, South Africa, Botswana, Zambia and Namibia! They share their vast knowledge and experience to ensure you achieve a really interesting itinerary, and from our perspective, excellent accommodation.
Our most recent trip in May/June 15 was definitely the most challenging, as we were taking three elderly family members, (75-85) who had never been to Africa before and they wanted the full experience in non-malarial Namibia. Mureal organised a fly drive trip which combined Namibia’s fantastic scenery (Fish River Canyon and the Soussousvlei dunes) with some amazing wildlife viewing, and she ensured that the lodges we visited were aware of our group’s restricted mobility.
We stayed at some exceptional lodges and good old Cornerstone at Swakupmund and when we did have a problem Mureal was able to resolve our issues, contactable on the ATI mobile we were given at the outset. She came up trumps when my mother had an accident and needed a wheelchair for the last part of the trip. We mention Mureal because as our contact she was fantastic, even down to helping organise restaurants and where to go for the best biltong, but as she graciously says, she is just one of the excellent, ATI team.
Apologies for being overly effusive but sometimes exceptionally good service needs to be recognised and our views are based on three great experiences, which has to be more than luck. Thanks to Mureal and all at ATI – we can now boast to have not only seen the desert elephants but also a black rhino in the wild, as well as in Erindi.
Many thanks ATI.
Excellent Guides and Porters

Excellent team
Second trip with Elisante (owner), excellent person and a professional beyond doubt, total reliability and seriousness.
I have been designing the safari almost a whole year, asking all kinds of questions. I had my own idea of the areas and places, and I have also selected accommodation he wanted, giving occasional help Elisante, to set up tours and accommodation millimeter.

great Safari
Spent on Safari 5 days. Everything was top notch. All agreements were fulfilled.
Amazing experience
We'd recommend doing a Safari with EastCo. We had a wonderful experience. Everything went very smoothly and Simon and the team were very accomodative. Up-Front communciations via email was sometimes challenging, but eventually all worked out just fine. Our guide was experienced, laid back, humble and a very nice guy who accommodated our queries whenever possible. The accommodations were really nice, the vehicle solid, we saw almost all animals we had wished to see and the food was good, too. The Safari met our expectations and we received a very good service. Thanks again to the team!

Our family trip to Uganda was amazing, the landscape is stunning and interesting.
Matoke tours provided our family with an amazing holiday. The trip was really good value for money, accommodation was fantastic, much better than we thought it would be, we stayed in one place surrounded by hippos grunting all night! Our driver for whole tour was so helpful and polite, he really went out of his way to make sure we saw all wildlife possible. Seeing Gorrillas in their natural dwindling habitat was a highlight we will never forget and also trekking through the forest with Chimpanzees. We saw so may different birds I lost count ,a birders paradise. The people of Uganda are very polite and friendly it is such an interesting country.

Very well organised
We booked with Pembury an 11 day itinerary covering Cape Town, Kruger and Zimbabwe, and had the most awesome time. The itinerary, the hotels, the flights, the transfers .. all the big to minute details were very well taken care of. Special thanks to Kerry, our travel consultant at Pembury for answering our multiple email queries, amending the itinerary multiple times to suit our requirements and helping us plan our travel.. Would definitely recommend!!
