Amazing Safari in Namibia, Botswana and Victoria Falls
We organised our honeymoon with Nature Travel Namibia, a tour totally customised in line with our needs of 15 days across Namibia, Botswana and Zambia Victoria falls. Our guide was the owner of the Company, Nick. Nick picked us up to the airport in Windhoek and the first impression of him was a very serious and well organised person.
The first impression was fully confirmed for the entire tour and day by day we had the opportunity to appreciate that Nick is a competent, knowledgeable and passionated tour guide. Nick is an expert in bids watching, able to recognise any type of bids even from distance. Nick is also excellent in games spotting, seeing an animal very far and sometime hidden behind a bush and recognising their traces on the boards of the road.
He took care about all our needs and accommodated all our requests.
Thus, we can fully recommend to book a trip with Nature Travel Namibia and enjoy Africa under all different points of view.

A wonderful trip to three fascinating countries
We found Nick Buys and his company through the internet, and he was the quickest to respond with the relevant information. We are experienced travellers, and felt from the start he would do a good job for us, and so it proved. He designed an itinerary to take in all the things we wanted to see, mainly in Namibia and then flying into and out of the Okavanga Delta in Botswana, and finally on to Livingstone, Zambia and the Victoria Falls. We were a private party of four, travelling with my brother and his wife, and journeyed well over 2000 miles together with Nick - so it was particularly good that we soon discovered that he was excellent company and had a great sense of humour! It all went really smoothly, we stayed in some nice places, none disappointing and some of them exceptional, and went on various fascinating side-trips that Nick recommended. He was also flexible if we wanted to make any minor unscheduled detours or stops. The wildlife we saw exceeded our expectations. Nick is knowledgeable and able to spot game and birds (his special interest) when we would certainly have missed them. We felt lucky to have had his personal services, and had a memorable and enjoyable time. We would not hesitate to recommend anyone to put their trust in Nick to arrange for them an equally memorable experience.

A fantastic safari that will long last in the memory
A very different holiday for us, usually we hire a car and travel on a DIY basis, with my husband's brother and wife, but this year we had slightly differing plans, so we wanted a specific itinerary starting and ending in Windhoek, with my brother in law leaving us in Caprivi to go onto Botswana and Victoria falls.
We booked Namibian Nature Travels because Nick Buys responded to our enquiries promptly and efficiently, coming up with a plan and price that suited us all. We were happy that we were dealing with a Namibian based company, paying for the trip in local currency, and not USD etc.
We were not disappointed. Our guide Nick, is a passionate Namibian, proud of his country and an expert in animal and bird life. He expertly drove us around this vast country, we visited places we would never have found on our own, and stopped as and when he noticed something of interest. We stayed in luxury lodges, where the hospitality and food were second to none, and saw many fine vistas of this remarkable country.
This is a holiday that will long last in the memory, and we will not hesitate to recommend Nature Travel Namibia and Nick Buys.

Don't hesitate to book with Nature Travel..you will have a trip of a lifetime! Happy Days!

Amazing, record numbers of birds and mammals, our guide Nick Buys was excellent, really experienced.
Our trip was packed full of adventure, fun and record numbers of mammals including: Caracal! African cat, and all the big game; Lions, (many sightings, great photos) Rhino, Elephants, Hippos, leopard, and much more. We had 350 spieces of birds including Pell's fishing owl! Our guide Nick was very attentive, thoughtful of our comfort and desires throughout the trip. Everyday was jammed packed with new sightings, surroundings and sheer joy. I loved this trip to Namibia and Botswana and would recommend this company and guide to everyone.

Amazing and more wonderful than I ever imagined
8 friends took a trip of 18 days( Aug 13-Sept 5) that was planned over a year in advanced. We gave Nick our thoughts and ideas and he planned a trip of a lifetime. He took time to answer all our questions and was very patient. Going in the fall which was winter there was the best as it is very dry and the animal have to seek the water holes which increased our chance of seeing the animals. At one watering hole we saw 18 elephants, what a site. Also amazing to see various species there 9 at least 6 different) at one time and not bothering each other, we should be so civil. He was our guide for 10days thru Chobe, the Caprivi region of Namibia and Etosha. We saw so many animals including the Big 5 during that time. Nick's keen eyes saw animals that were blended in with surroundings and invisible to us novices. We saw and learned about so many birds in addition to the animals.
The days we were on our own were also well planned and those day guides were knowledgeable and friendly, we were in good hands
Nick really made this a trip of a lifetime with his attention to every detail in addition to his knowledge, warm personality and professionalism will always be remembered. I have told many about this experience and hope they too will one day enjoy this experience.

Holiday of a lifetime in Namibia!
Our experiences with Nature Travel Namibia were fantastic from beginning to end. Nick was super efficient and responsive during the planning and booking of the trip. Our guide, Marcus, could not have been better and was extremely informative and cheerful despite driving us over 4,000kms during our 8 day adventure. The accommodation was of a fantastic standard and the number of animals we saw in Etosha staggering...An amazing introduction to an awesome country. We will be back...

Nature Travel Namibia rocks!
My husband and I have recently returned from a 16-day birding safari to Namibia, Caprivi, Botswana and Zambia organized by Nature Travel Namibia. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this company. If I could give it a 6 star rating I would! Nick, our guide was enthusiastic, professional and very knowledgeable. From the moment we made contact with him, he helped us organize and tailor the trip to the last detail. I should also mention that he is probably the best bird guide we've ever had the pleasure of working with. His passion for the birds and all the wildlife made it seem as if he was also seeing them for the first time. He definitely gave us 100%. We would not hesitate to use Nick and this company again and would highly recommend them to anyone thinking of visiting southern Africa.
