Very helpful and dedicated to make people's trip the best experience possible!
5/5

Me and my boyfriend had never gone to Namibia or any other country in the southern part of Africa. We were a little bit worried, specially about hiring an agency we had never used before (not even heard about, as in Brazil people don't usually go to African countries other than South Africa). However, since the beginning of our contact with Nature Travel (many thanks here to San-Mari, who was always kind and helpful), we were very well supported in every single thing we asked: general overview of the places we would visit, details about other options, how much time to spend, price targets, etc. One of the most amazing things about Nature Travel was that, even though the trip was being planned for us, when we had an idea that didn't seem very well for them (fox example: too much time in a place, too many distant places, etc.), they would tell us the truth and argue with us (in a nice manner, obviously) why we shouldn't do that. They really cared about what would be best for us! With all that being said, we cannot say another thing than that we had a wonderful time in Namibia: it was certainly a trip that we’ll never forget. We would like to thank the whole Nature Travel team for their assistance, specially San Mari and Marius. The latter was our guide throughout our trip and we REALLY had a wonderful time with him. All his knowledge, kindness, professionalism and good humor contributed a lot to make our trip as incredibly unforgettable as it was. He was always trying to read what would be best for us. We could see that the thing he wanted the most was to give us the best experience possible. We will definitely continue planning trips with Nature Travel and recommend them to all our friend and family!!

Absolutely amazing Namibia/ Botswana safari adventure.
5/5

We’ve just finished a 15 day Namibia / Botswana Safari, ending with a visit to Victoria Falls and it was amazing! Our guide Marc Cronje, with his vast knowledge and experience, made every sighting exciting, no matter what we were looking at, and got us some exceptional (and sometimes unexpected) spectacles, including Honey Badgers digging for food whilst a number of Pale Chanting Goshawks stood by waiting to steal their prey and a family of Bat-eared foxes roaming around under the early evening sun. Marc worked tirelessly throughout the trip, his enthusiasm never waning, nothing was too much trouble, a thoughtful and caring guide. NTN organised beautiful lodges and accommodation, a surprise highlight being 2 days camping which we would definitely do again. To say we had a great time was an understatement, we are already thinking about saving for our next trip with them!

Personalised Namibia-tour - big dream came true and even more
5/5

We just game back to Finland from our two weeks Namibia-tour. This has been our dream for a long time and now: wow... just wow-wow-wow. We could tell so much about everything we have experienced and enjoyed and how wonderful everything was. But... we say: perfect in every way. We do not know, how something could have been better.

We can not thank enough Nicolette, who was so helpful and kind in advance and made all reservations and listened our changes and wishes and made every of them possible! Such a perfect personalised service, and how in earth she can be so fast!

And Marc, our guide. Ten points in expertise about nature, animals, history etc. Ten points in making our holiday so easy and relaxing. Ten points in taking care of us and our needs. Ten points in exceeding our hopes and dreams. Ten points in beeing just a wonderful person and part of our holiday, not just a guide. And ten points in listening to finnish sense of humour...

Nicolette and Marc really made our dream come true, and even more. Now we are not dreaming of a white christmas, but we are dreaming of a new trip/holiday with help of Nicolette, Marc and Nature Travel Namibia.

Our tour was excellent & allowed us to truly experience the varied geography & wildlife of Namibia
5/5

We were a group of six friends. Nature Travel Namibia (Nick Buys) & his staff were very responsive to our many questions. They put together our itinerary & all was delivered as promised & in excellent style. Nick’s expertise & sense of humor further enhanced our experience. We were mostly very satisfied with our accommodations—one a little too rustic. Food everywhere was great & plentiful. Our safaris were awesome. Nick knew just where to go. In addition to the big 5, we saw animals we didn’t know existed & took time to watch & observe their behavior. This is a trip we will never forget. Thanks again Nick & Nature Travel Namibia.

Nick our Guide put our Safari together it was top notch in all aspects of the safari.
5/5

It was very easy to communicate via email with Nick on any Questions we had. I was traveling with my wife and 4 friends and all communications that they had with Nick were answered via email promptly.Every place we went to on the Safari was excellent, in viewing the animals, the lodgings that he had set up for us. The service staff at all the locations we visited were very friendly and went out of their way to make our vacation wonderful. All of us in our group have agreed that Nature Travel Namibia was the best for our safari trip from start to finish.

our guide was so knowledgeable re Africa, ecology, recycling, animal habits, and birding
5/5

We have been planning our safari for over a year. We have had many emails with Nick with many questions. Some silly and most very informative. When we sent an email he would answer within a few days. This was the best trip of our lives. We were a little nervous before the trip but once there we felt very safe with Nick as our guide. This trip was so far above our expectations I can’t believe it. Everywhere we stayed showed us a different view of Africa. We stayed in lodges, tents, 5star hotels, and open air rooms. Each held its own kind of enjoyment for us on our safari. Everyone in Africa was so nice to us and so friendly. We cannot believe we had such a wonderful time in Africa. It was a long flight but well worth the time. We think that we may want to visit another area of Africa in the future. We saw all the animals we wanted to such as cheetah, leopard, wild dogs, hyenas, lions, Cape buffalo, elephants, giraffes, zebra, impala, hippos, and rhinos, baboons and more. Thank you Nick for the trip of a lifetime!

Everything you could hope for!
5/5

We recently went on a 3-week self-drive tour that was completely organized by Nature Travel Namibia. They booked us a 4x4 rental car with rooftop tents as well as all of our accommodations and some of the activities. Everything was organized exactly as we wanted, and we had no unpleasant surprises during our trip. Just the holiday you would hope for, nice and relaxing but also full of wonderful activities to enjoy the wildlife and landscapes to the fullest. Communication with Nature Travel prior to the trip all went very smooth, they are very friendly and helpful and always eager to assist you in any way possible. The tour itself was wonderful, we absolutely loved Namibia and will certainly be coming back! We will definitely book via Nature Travel again, so highly recommendable!
