It was a more than excellent tour with Drifters and Ruan Mey as our guide.
5/5

We did at that time the South African tour with Drifters. Ruan Mey was our guide. He was excellent, friendly, competent. The tour and the guide were both in one word : AMAZING!!!

Ruan is an excellent guide driver and chef who will keep you safe and well informed on any adventure
5/5

At the time of our African Safari Ruan had not set up his own company and was working for Sunway Safaris. In the light of our experiences with him as our guide/driver/chef I would not hesitate in recommending him to others who are thinking of travelling with him at Shikwaru Adventures.
His whole approach was very professional. He is a very experienced guide, very approachable and never at any time put his travellers in any difficult situations. If I was thinking of another adventure in Africa then Shikwaru Adventures would be my first point of call.

Total comfort and enthralment as we explored the many mysteries of the African bush.
5/5

What a great experience our Botswana safari was. Our guides infatuation with the bush and love of the animals was contagious. Their knowledge and respect of the animals was evident in everything they did. Their attention to detail and the way they organized the safari was simply perfect. When we decided to do a safari in Africa we couldn't have imagined how amazing the experience could be? A trip we will never forget.
Highly recommended.

Very nice and interesting discovery of South Africa with Shikwaru and Federica
5/5

Me and my friends spent 25 days with Federica, and this roadtrip from Johannesburg to Cape Town was a great experience. We wanted to discover all facets of this great country, and Shikwaru proposed us a very complete and interesting journey: Johannesburg and Cape Town, so different, Kruger, Hluhluwe and Addo to discover the big fives and so many others, amazing and highly varied landscapes, very nice walks … We shared unforgettable moments in the villages of Eswatini and Lesotho. We learned a lot about fauna, flora, geology. Federica loves nature and is a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. And she really takes care of us, with professionalism and friendship. About organization and quality of accommodation, if you accept sometimes less comfort to live beautiful experience, everything was very satisfying. I recommend highly Shikwaru. Thank you Federica !

Great trip, well organized with our guide Frederica, attentive to all our needs.
5/5

After a 25-day trip to South Africa with Frederica, we come back delighted.

We enjoyed the programming, very varied, which gives us a good overview of the country.

Frederica was a good driver, dynamic, highly organized. She adapted the program according to the situation. We liked the choice of very diversified hotels. Both homestays were very rewarding.

Several treks allowed us to admire the magnificent landscapes.

We strongly recommend Shikwaru Adventures for safe travel and thank you again, Frederica, for this beautiful trip.
