Hiking in South Africa great nature !
A fantastic trip in the real Africa ! A mix of hikes, walks and swim in mountains, villages and the coast. From Drakensberg to Wild Coast, and through Lesoto.
Very well organised, with good accomodation and food, with some basic nights in small villages. Close to the nature, close to people living there. Far from the cities and usual tourist destinations.
Recommanded !

Amazing discovery of wildlife of South Africa
It was my first trip to South Africa and it was just amazing. Thierry is a Top, passionate, Fun guide. Thanks to his knowledge of the bush and the fauna, and through Safari on foot and in 4x4, he knew how to pass on his passion. Each place was at the top with amazing views. Just one last word, only to program the next trip

A great comprehension resulting in a tailor-made journey that met all our expectations.
Communication by mail and skype with Thierry was always uncomplicated. Our questions were never too much for him and if he was going to be unavailable he gave us advance notice. He fully understood the kind of safari we were hoping for, the animals we wanted to see in particular and the kind of lodgings. The journey was smooth with someone waiting for us at every stop. Nearly all our transfers from one place to the next were by light aircraft, a first and memorable experience! The lodges and camps we stayed at in Zimbabwe and in Botswana all had charm and were well integrated into their environment. We started off in Zimbabwe with a sunset cruise on the Zambezi river and a visit of Victoria Falls. Gorges lodge, where we spent one night is set on the cliffs of the Zambezi gorge, a spectacular setting. From there we were transferred to Somalisa Camp, a beautiful place in the heart of the Hwange bush, where elephants come to drink in front of the camp. From Somalisa we moved onto Kasane, Botswana where we also went on a sunset cruise on the river Chobe and a safari by the river where we spent a night in a small chalet at Kudu Lodge. Our next stop in Chobe was Savute where we stayed at the Savuti Camp, another camp beautifully set in the heart of the bush, and our final stop was at the Okavango delta where we stayed at Oddballs Camp, perhaps even more integrated into its environment where the safaries are by foot and mokoro (wooden canoe) only. Each place offered two safaries per day with friendly and competent guides who enabled us to see a big variety of faun and flora. Last, but not least, the food was delicious! Thanks Thierry, no doubt you'll be hearing from us for another African experience.

Wonderful South Africa Tour
It was better than expected!
We were a group of 7 people and it was an authentic and amazing experience. Thanks to Thierry knowledges (the guide), we went in strategic points to well observe various big 5 (e.g. Elephants and lions close to the water at the same time). All details was well organise, clean and save.
I highly recommend Biwakwango to do Safari in South Africa and I will for sure renew the experience.

Awesome circuit in eastern South Africa
We left for three weeks (five people) in South Africa, in the eastern part of the country. Thierry, from Biwakwango, had been listening to us from the beginning to adapt to our wishes for this tour in freedom, in family.
He advised us of places and accommodations that turned out to be really good.
For three weeks we were able to enjoy a very diverse program, without wasting too much time in the car. The scenery was beautiful, very diverse, and the accommodations were really good.
Thierry were also present to answer our emails during our stay and solve some small problems with reactivity.
We usually compete with several local agencies. Here, it was clearly Biwakwango that quickly appeared to be the most responsive agency and respectful of our wishes, with a good value for money.

Great family stay
First family stay in Africa with our 4 children and accompanied by Thierry. We crossed 17 days between Swaziland, Mozambique and South Africa. Thierry knows perfectly the fauna and the crossed circles and knows how to share his passion of the nature. We shall return certainly for new experiences

First trip in South Africa and Mozambique
I just return from my first trip in South Africa, Swaziland and Mozambique. It was an exciting and unforgettable trip among a little group of 6 persons. Thierry (Biwakwango) was our guide, driver, translator and cook.
With Thierry, we discovered Johannesburg. We travelled through Swaziland and had the great pleasure to arrive to the fabulous "Dunes de Dovela" in Mozambique. Probably one of the most beautiful places in Mozambique with its deserted beach, its french-mozambican food and its accomodation.
We spent three days in Kruger parc to try to see the "big five". The final part of the trip was in the Soutpansberg.
A detail : Thierry's car is specially adapted to facilitate animal watching.
We really enjoyed our trip ! Thank you Thierry!!
