Great!
What a fantastic trip to Namibia … what a country, what land, what a fabulous experience.
The tour was superb. The guide was a dream - knowledgeable, enthusiastic, a great ambassador for his country - a joy to be with. The places we stayed were great … some glamping, a hotel and an upgrade to a safari lodge (altho we would have prefered the tented camp as per the itinerary). The food was excellent, prepared by excellent cooks. The service was superb and the absolute pinnacle was finding hot water bottles in our beds in the bitterly cold desert nights. In Damarland, we tracked desert elephants and came across a herd of eleven; we tracked a rhino and baby for about 90 minutes - very exciting - but didn’t find them; we saw desert giraffes … again very exciting. And it was brilliant to be in remote, empty places with no phone connection, no internet and just be consumed by the land and the here and now. At the lodge when we were having an early breakfast, a male lion appeared at the waterhole … and when he’d finished we could hear him roaring in the bush.
I would book through Kingfisher Safaris again - Martin was always at the end of the email, always helpful and knoweldgeable. I would also go on a trip with Wilderness Safaris again - thorougly recommend Diverse Namibia tour.

Amazing safari
The safari was very well organized.
We did 7 days and 5 nights in Serengeti, Ngorongoro, lake manyara and Tarangire. Our driver was really good. He was with us all the time. Tents were good and the esperience in the no fenced Camp was Amazing, even if the Camp site toilet were not perfect. Also the Cook came with us for all the time to prepare amazing breakfast,dinner and lunchbox for the day. We had always enough water and Also wine during the dinner. Thanks for everything!

terrible experience, not professional, NOT recommended
Our experience with tinga tinga safari was horrible. They are subcontracting the clients to other companies so their cannot guarantee ANY itinerary, rendering them meaningless.
We had booked a safari to see the great migration and thus paid extra especially for it. We confirmed the day before with Akim, the person in charge, that we would be able to see it. He assured us we would. Well we didn't, not even close: After being bounced around in different cars, we ended up in a car doing a completely different itinerary than us. When these changes occured they assured us they would partially refund our money. After we got back they didn't refund us anything and Akim stopped answering our texts altogether.
They acted very unprofessionally toward us and lied to us from start to finish. I would not recommend them.

Beautiful Safari Experience
A trip to the heart of the bush, made unforgettable by our guide Lucky who, tireless and very expert of places, has accompanied us in this exciting adventure. Thanks also to the Master chef Smooth, to Sugar and Jacob and to the whole team Gifts of the Kalahari. A perfect organization. Colors, scents, and sounds of Botswana will remain in our memories.

Unique experience with endless open skies and fantastic crew & horses
Was going through the reviews listed and couldn't agree more, it was such an amazing trip. The whole operation is extremely well organized and crew is very experienced, and just so friendly and helpful. They take great care of guests and horses. Both guests & crew were fun to hang out with around the campfire.
Was a bit worried my riding level and fitness weren't enough, but these horses are quite something. Alert, forward going and well behaved, they're cool with taking you through the desert so you can just sit there and enjoy the view.
Camping was much more luxurious than I expected, and food was delicious, varied and plenty. Bedrolls surprisingly cozy and comfortable even with minus temperatures at night. Seen more shooting stars than I had wishes to make.
Hope to go again! Would advise to add a few days in Namibia after the safari to transition back to normal life.
