Incredible Safari Experience
In June, we went on an 11-day safari with Walking Stick in the Okavango Delta, Moremi Game Reserve, Khwai Concession and Chobe National Park. The communication with Walking Stick in advance was good; our inquiries were answered promptly. As agreed, we were picked up at our hotel in Maun and went to the Okavango Delta for 2 days. In addition to the Mokoro tour, the guided walks in particular were a special experience that we really enjoyed. It was very impressive how our guide Emanuel spotted the animals and predicted their behaviour. We never felt unsafe during these walks.
We went on to Moremi, where we camped at a very nice spot at the Khwai River, with a view of elephants crossing the river. The game drives in Moremi, Khwai and Savuti were very exciting and eventful. We saw an incredible number of animals, in addition to elephants, buffaloes, hippos, crocodiles, antelopes, giraffes, zebras, we also had some excellent lion and leopard sightings. The wild dogs with puppies were a particular highlight. Our guide Gabana responded fully to our requests, spared no effort to find the animals and always had a very good eye for great photo opportunities and optimal lighting conditions for taking pictures. The places he chose for an evening sundowner were always very special. We really enjoyed the game drives with him.
The rest of the crew was also super nice and went out of their way to make our vacation special. The tent was spacious and comfortable with the integrated shower and toilet. The food was very good and plentiful. We didn't have to sacrifice comfort during the 11 days in the wild.
On the way from Savuti to Chobe River Front, our safari vehicle had damage that could not be repaired. Phillomon immediately arranged for a replacement vehicle to pick us up so that we could complete our planned game drive the same evening. It was impressive how quickly the spare part was organized and the vehicle repaired, so that we could bring our safari to a successful end without restrictions.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience in the middle of the wilderness with an incredible crew and unforgettable impressions. Our best safari yet. We are already longing for a repeat of Walking Stick Safari in the next few years.

Mindful, caring and the tour was successful
The experience with Netherken was on top notch. High quality service was maintained from day one to the end. Very effective on time reliable communication. The tour was worth my money and I was very grateful indeed.

Treated Us and Cared for Us Like Family
We had the most amazing trip to Kenya and Uganda -- all made possible by Dume Africa, and especially Henry, our guide. Henry worked with us for more than a year putting together the best itinerary -- and, he was so helpful in making great suggestions for activities we had overlooked. From meeting us at the airport, to driving us across the country, to giving us great information about animals, plants, and various sites -- every detail was addressed. My wife broke her knee and it "went bad" right before our trip -- requiring a knee replacement when we got home. Henry adjusted everything and took precious care of her -- helping her, changing the itinerary, and giving her special activities or service when she could not participate in something that the rest of us did. Henry's colleagues and staff were also great -- we had a wonderful trip through Nairobi National Park and great reception service in Uganda. Henry also helped us when we ran out of money to find the right bank that could help us. We won't travel to Kenya again, unless we can have Henry as our guide!

Unique and awesome safari experience in the Kruger-Nationalpark
My trip to the Kruger-Nationalpark in particular and to South Africa in general was spontaneously undertaken. Considering this, I had a great experience from the flexible booking option online at home to the transport from and back to Johannesburg with kind drivers to the unique experience with all the animals I saw with Shandrack, who really was more a friend and buddy than merely a guide and who could explain something substantial about every animal in the park! Next time I would consider doing a trip for four days, because you can never see enough. Another highlight was the good food at the lodge, where I stayed. All staff and personell I ever encountered was extremely friendly and service-oriented.

Uganda is worth visiting
My friends and I spent 12 days in Uganda in July. This was our first time to travel to the country. It is worth visiting. The people are polite and friendly. The sceneries are beautiful. There are also full of wild lives. The most unforgettable experience for me was the chimpanzees trekking and the gorilla trekking. Although it consumed rather lot of my energy, the sweat and the effort was paid off when I saw these beautiful creatures. I am also happy to see how Uganda people protect the wide lives and how they help the local community via tourist industry.
The lodges I stayed are also wonderful. Most of them are with very helpful and friendly staff. I enjoyed very much the stay in Uganda. I must not forget to mention Tubale Safaris, the travel agency. Their service is very professional and the staff are very responsible. My friends and I were taken good care of during our stay in Uganda. Our needs were addressed in a very responsible and timely manner. Ayub Munowa was our driver guide. He is amazing. He is very caring, responsible and professional. He was very sensitive to our needs and prepared us well for all the activities. He is very well-organized and plans everything well. We are so blessed to have him with us and thank him for showing us around as well as telling us a lot about the wide lives in Uganda.

Pristine paradise on earth!
Kenya has been the perfect destination for our 10 days safari with our 6yo daughter. The parks are literally bursting with wildlife and majestic scenery. The country is very diverse north to south, with lakes region and classic Masai Mara landscape in the north and dusty Amboseli and Tsavo at the south. We would recommend visiting several parks to appreciate the beauties of Kenya. Travelling such distance with a 6yo may be tiring but our fantastic guide Johnston from spirit of Kenya made sure to at we had all the breaks that we needed. Kenyans are very friendly and especially so with kids, so don’t be afraid to give them a memorable experience!!

Worth the drive!
Booked this tour with 3 other friends. Driver was amazing. We made stops on the way to use the restroom and eat. Hotel was really nice. Food was delicious at hotel too. The safiar tour guide was awesome. He understood the wildlife and nature and I referred two other friends to book with them.
