Thrilling, adventurous, well-cared for, Natureways created a trip we will cherish.
Natureways provided an exceptional experience for me and my husband. From the moment we were picked up at the airport we knew this was going to be a special four days. The team Naureways has created is exemplary, providing a unique experience in every way (cooks and camp staff went above and beyond). We were in very competent hands with Tony and Norman - Norman reading and navigating the river and confidently giving us paddling directions and Tony leading us on thrilling walking safaris. We saw so much wildlife and much of it very close and personal - always knowing we were in good hands. This is a really special trip and one thing that makes it so special is that it is not for everyone - it is for those who want to step beyond the jeep and see nature at eye level. Thanks Naureways!

A truly great experience with amazing guides!
We did a 4-day tour of the parks Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. Started with Tarangire and spent a night there (with a swimming pool!). The second day was mostly driving through Ngorongoro Reserve to get to Serengeti where we were for the rest of the day and one day more. The final day we slept with an amazing view over Ngorongoro Crater where we spend the day before driving back to Arusha. We slept in tents (to out of three had a broken zipper), we had an amazing dinner every night with wine and soup, coffee and tea in the afternoon.
They matched our requests perfectly in the terms of budget and game watching and our driver was so nice and kept answering all our questions about the animals we saw. And we saw a lot!
They could have been more informative, though. It was hard to keep track of what we were doing and we had to ask a lot of questions to keep track of the program.

Amazing experience.
The trip was well organized. Our guide in Tanzania was truly world class. Our family felt safe and well cared for the entire trip. Overall the accommodations were excellent but we did have a couple of nights that were not up to expectations. In particular, the Nairobi hotel on the night of our arrival.

Our driver, Mudi, was excellent. He was punctual, amiable, and a safe driver.
FMT has been very responsive on e-mail and our driver Mudi speaks English very well. As mentioned, he was on time in picking us up, is a very nice guy - very easy to talk to, and seems very trustworthy. There is a lot of traffic in Dar and the highways are filled with trucks passing a lot. Mudi is a very good driver and I would highly recommend him.

Unbelievably brilliant holiday which surpassed our expectations by being full of variety.
We booked a 14 day self- drive safari from UK and all communication with Thinus and his team were excellent.
We celebrated our 30th Wedding Anniversary during our trip and stayed at the amazing, Erindi Private Game Reserve for a couple of days. The safari organised by the lodge was superb and we saw lots of game on our early morning and sundowner drives.
Everything went like clockwork; we stayed at different lodges but all had character and were excellent.
The route Thinus planned was just what we wanted and took us on a great tour of Namibia, incorporating Damaraland, The Skeleton Coast and the Namib Nauluft Park.
We didn’t have time to seeFish River Canyon or Luderitz but are hoping to return at some point to visit this area.
In summary I could not recommend Cross Cross Tours highly enough and would most certainly use them again!

Amazing experience and service
We had a wonderful time. The entire trip was very enjoyable and interesting. Namibia is a stunning place, Lucky was a fantastic guide; very knowledgeable, an amazing spotter of all types of animals and great company.
We were particularly grateful because SAA caused a missed connection at Johannesburg and our rebooked flight the next morning was cancelled. Nature Namibia's communication with us throughout, not only this setback but from start to finish was excellent and Lucky went above and beyond what could reasonably be expected when we finally arrived, by driving late into the night to get us to our first destination to try and get us back on track with our safari - excellent service, thank you.

Serengeti and Tanzania Safari
We booked a 6 night/ 7 day Safari through Tanzania and the Serengeti. Jake and Stacy did an amazing job at organising our Safari tour. They were very easy to communicate with and helped us every way possible to make our Safari trip amazing. We saw the “Big 5” animals plus many more and 3 Wildebeest migration water crossings. The accommodation ranged from structured tents and lodges, all beautifully presented. The food was amazing at all the accommodation sites. One of the highlights was the Hot Air Balloon over the Serengeti with the Champagne breakfast. Wonderful experience with a very organised and competent Hot AirBalloon crew. Despite the long drives reaching some of the destinations, we would all definitely do the Safari again.
