Birding trip to the Eronogo Mountains in search of Namibia endemics
My husband and I joined Nick of Nature Travel Namibia for a short birding trip to the Erongo Mountains. This location was chosen for the many endemics we might see and the spectacular granitic Erongo Mountains. Nick took care of all the arrangements from our arrival in Windhoek, including booking us into a guest house that provided good birding in their garden and better birding a short walk away at Avis Dam. We stayed at the Erongo Wilderness Lodge where we enjoyed comfortable tented accommodations, great meals and friendly service from the lodge staff. Our morning and afternoon walks netted us over 50 birds and 7 of the 8 anticipated endemics along with some antelope. As geologists we really enjoyed this setting and Nick found a fabulous minerals shop in nearby Omaruru that we visited before returning to Windhoek. We hope to return soon and join Nick for another birding trip in Namibia.

Five aardvarks on a trip is not a bad number
In a fantastic trip around Namibia (and a bit of Botswana), Nick was able to show us the best of the nature of that part of the world. Despite our many requests (animals of all kinds, plants, rocks) he organized the trip so that we could see almost everything. Indefatigable and attentive at all times to our needs. A pleasure to travel with him. Hopefully we can repeat many times.
By the way, we saw five aardvarks and six aardwolves along our night drives...

Great experience
My husband and I did the Etosha-Caprivi-Victoria Falls road trip, and it was wonderful. Our guide was very knowledgeable and imparted a real appreciation for the local birds in particular. The daily activities were a good balance of animal viewing and downtime, and the lodges were comfortable and often luxurious. The logistics were immaculately planned; our guides and the lodges always knew exactly what we were up to, without any confusion about what was paid for and what wasn't. Finally, Nick was very easy to deal with and responsive when we were booking and paying for the trip, as well as when we needed help with an emergency change to our schedule.

Fabulous trip!!!
Nature Travel Namibia far exceeded our expectations. Jakes was a wonderful host and guide, he looked after every detail from the first to the last day of our safari. We are looking at another safari in Kenya but I told my husband that I would just as soon go back to Namibia and have Jakes take us on safari again.... it was that GOOD!!!

First Class
We thoroughly enjoyed our almost 3 week trip through Namibia, Botswana and Zambia. Nick put together for us a well paced itinerary that took in some amazing experiences and sights. Big thanks to Jakes for looking after us and sharing his enormous knowledge of the flora, fauna and people.

Namibia/Botswana/Zambia tour
The trip was fantastic. Namibia is an unknown jewel to most Americans. I traveled there
because a family member went the year prior and said it was one of the best travel
destinations for birds and wildlife in the African continent.
Nature Travel Namibia was able to customize our trip to our wishes.
Our guide, Jakes DeJager was excellent. Thanks to owner, Nick Buys for arranging such an
excellent itinerary.

The best birding trip of my life.
From the 1st communication to the last the service was excellent. The safari itself was far more than I ever expected, the guide was superb his knowledge was 2nd to none he was able to find all the species I asked for and more. I would have no hesitation in recommending this guide and this tour.

Grand tour of Namibia
The tour you put together for us was undoubtedly one of the best touring holidays we have ever had'
Namibia is a fascinating country of so many contrasts, and stunning scenery. Having lived in South Africa for so many years, and understanding weather and drought conditions, it was wonderful to see the country looking so green and lush, and even a river or two with water in them! We also understand why there was so remarkably little game to be seen in the Etosha. (A first time visitor wanting to see game would have been very disappointed) But we also knew when we booked it was not the prime time of year to be coming. I was not convinced about doing the 'Living Desert Tour' but it was the most fascinating and informative morning!
Jakes was in all respects a marvellous guide, safe driver, and so attentive and considerate of all our needs before we even realised we had any. He is passionate about the country, and with his farming background, so knowledgeable and interested in all aspects of ecology, flora and fauna. He is a very interesting dinner conversationalist; we have an insatiable curiosity about countries we visit, not just what we are looking at, but also about the people and their thoughts, politics and attitudes and history.
Thank you for changing the Hilton Hotel for us - I know I said a city hotel, but the Belvedere was in all respects far more comfortable.
All the hotels and lodges you booked for us were excellent, rooms comfortable, food good and all situated in amazing environments.
We would totally recommend your organisational skills and itinerary recommendations to anyone.
Excellent introduction to Namibia! Quality tour from start to finish.
Nature Travel Namibia provided an excellent introduction to the marvels of Namibia. The logistics were seamless, the trip itself was amazing, accommodations just right , our guide Kit was perfect , and I would go back with them anytime . Esmari, running their operation, who I have not met but have corresponded with before, during and after the trip, was professional, alert to specific needs, and a delight to deal with. My son, currently a Peace Corps volunteer in Comorous, met me in Windhoek for this trip. It was a trip of a lifetime and it could not have been any better .
I recommend Nature Travel Namibia without reservation.

Perfect organization, from A to Z
We spent 8 days in Namibia. The program was very well prepared and our driver/guide was extremely competent. Nothing to add but thank you very much for this extraordinary trip !
