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

Exciting holidays, brilliant staff
I travelled several times through different countries of Southern Africa with Ruan and Frederica. These holidays were special and some of the best trips I ever did. Both have a deep knowledge about Southern Africa, the history, culture and the wildlife. Their safaris are excellent organized and still give room for spontaneous wishes of their clients. They are both brilliant in animal spotting and respectful in the approach of wild species. They care about the environment. And both make sure you have a save journey. They are first class professionals (and really nice people).

A trip to the jungles of Africa became a learning experience both intellectually and spiritually.
The team is the BEST
They managed to personalize and attend kindly and efficiently to every need in a highly diverse group of people. They are very knowledgeable, speak five languages, love nature and transmit the affection and love for it in a very competent manner.
Can’t wait to go back and visit more. Their communication while preparing the trip was fantastic and they outlived our expectations!!

We'll be back for more!
We went on a tour of South Africa for two weeks with our guide Federica from Shikwaru Adventures after a friend recommended her to us. She adapted and tailored the tour and the visits according to what we wanted to see. We went for a whole tour of South Africa, beginning in Johannesburg where we saw the Mandela Museum, Mandela's house, a youth Center, all while learning about the history of the city and the country. After that things kept interesting as we took the road towards the private game reserves and Kruger National Park. The trip went on through Swaziland and St Lucia and we finished in Cape Town after a short flight.
Federica knows really a great deal about the country, the animals, the people and was able to answer 99% of the questions that went through our mind during the trip. It was a really great experience, we managed to see almost all of the big five during the two weeks, but we'll be back to catch the evasive Leopard! If you want a tour where you can take your time, where you're not in a packed bus stacked with 30 people where everything is calculated to the minute then you can stop searching.

This was my first time in South Africa and it was a vacation that I will never forget. The tour was super well organized and the team very prepared. You feel that they enjoy doing this. I will definitely go back for another tour. I totally recommend them!!!
Amazing experience
We went to Botswana with Shikwaru Adventures.
It was just like we dreamt it will be. We saw lots of animals and had an amazing time. We definitely would like to do this again in the future !
