A Truly Magical Safari Experience – Thank You, Twinkle Star Tours !
We had the most incredible 9-day safari through Kenya and Tanzania with Twinkle Star Tours and Safaris Ltd, and we can’t thank them enough for making it such a perfect trip.
From the very beginning, James, the manager, was kind, professional, and thoughtful. He worked with us to customize our itinerary and made sure everything was taken care of. We felt supported every step of the way.
Our Kenyan guide, Daniel Mwanzia, was a true gem. He was so friendly, fun to be around, and knew exactly how to help us spot wildlife. In the Masai Mara, thanks to Daniel’s expertise, we saw lions, elephants, cheetahs. Truly an unforgettable moment!
In Tanzania, Roger continued the magic. He was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. With his guidance, we also saw the Big Five and so many more amazing animals up close.
The lodges and tented camps were beautiful and comfortable — especially Acacia Seronera and Kibo Safari Camp. Every detail of the trip, from accommodations to meals to transportation, was smooth and well-organized.
We felt so well cared for throughout the entire journey. The whole team went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing time. This wasn’t just a vacation - it was an experience that touched our hearts.
We will always remember this trip and the wonderful people who made it possible. If you're planning a safari, Twinkle Star Tours is the team you want by your side !

Amazing Place, terrible experience
My friend and I were very excited for this trip (Massai Mara 2 days). However, a series of events almost turned this trip into a nightmare. First, the driver (Edwin) arrived 40min late saying he had a problem with the car. The car was terrible; by far, the oldest car I have seen during the journey. As the car was very old, all the trip was very 'shaky'. On the way to Massai Mara, we had a flat tire and had to stop for change. More 30-40min wasted. Then, we had to stop to had the flat tire fixed before going to the park. Inside the park, the car broke and we were stuck there for FOUR HOURS. Four hours inside the park, and the driver and company gave no alternative option but to wait. This was very frustrating, as we were waiting for months for this trip. We understand that cars can break, but if the car was not soooo old, the odds of this event would be lower. Also, again, the company had no backup plan for this. To top it ofF, the driver was not so nice. At certain point he said that the elephants undesrstood his situation better than us. Needless to say what he meant... The following day the driver was very rude, did not enter the park and continue the trip as if we were wrong, not the company. We asked him if he could drop us at the airport - which would be nice after allll we have passed. He said no, that he could not change the itinerary. In conclusion: I do not recommend this company. We lost almost 5 hours of our time during the trip and we had no compensation

A melting pot of cultures, landscapes and wildlife- Namibia has it all and NTN brings it to life.
If I could offer more than 5 stars, I would do that for Nature Travel Namibia. Right from the beginning to the end. Pipa Kern is an excellent travel consultant, prompt with queries, impeccable communication and with a talent of picking up exactly what the customer needs. Once we landed in Windhoek we were totally relaxed. All arrangements were in place. The accommodations were super both in location and service.
And our guide Delano, he felt like a family friend at the end of the tour. Professional, full of knowledge, alert to our needs and went out of his way to make it the best experience for us.
We did a two week tour covering Quiver Tree Forest, Fish River Canyon, Swakopmund, Sossusvlei, Etosha, Damaraland and Waterberg Plateau. Namibia offers a variety of landscapes and rare wildlife experiences. The history and culture is the story of a melting pot of various peoples. The cities and towns are colourful, neatly manicured. The roads are smooth and the horizons endless in Namibia.
Nature Travel Namibia offered us an experience that brought all of that together. I cannot recommend them enough.

Our guide Elii was simply amazing. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and deeply passionate about wildlife. He made every game drive exciting and insightful, always going the extra mile to make sure we had the best views and experiences.

They made us feel truly cared for. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a meaningful, well-organized, and unforgettable safari adventure.

A great experience enjoying nature
I did the six-day safari. The first part, Masai Mara and Nakuru, was with John, and Amboseli with Francis. Both were great. It was a great experience, and we were able to see the summit of Kilimanjaro upon arriving at the Amboseli camp. We were told it's not easy, so we were lucky to see it.

An incredible adventure that far exceeded all expectations.
Our family of four (kids 11 and 9) opted for a nine-day tour of Botswana/Zimbabwe, starting in Maun and ending at Victoria falls, including four unforgettable nights camping. From the outset, communication with Anna was prompt, informative, and reassuring, giving us the confidence to travel as a young family to such a remote and wild location.
The camping, although a little daunting, was immersive and truly memorable. We’ll never forget falling asleep and waking during the night to the sounds of the wild.
Our crew were outstanding. Name was a master at preparing delicious meals over the campfire. DT and Buka always had the camp perfectly set up for our arrival, complete with a warm fire waiting. But a special mention must go to our guide, Chief. His deep respect, knowledge, and love for the wildlife were evident in everything he did. He constantly went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible.
The mokoro ride was surreal – at one point we had to hop out and navigate around a stubborn elephant feeding in the middle of the river! The boat cruises on the Delta, Chobe, Zambezi rivers were equally stunning. And finishing at the mighty Victoria Falls was the perfect finale.
Over the course of our tour, we saw over forty different animal species. Highlights included leopards (including a cub), lions, hyenas nursing their pups, painted dogs with eight pups, warthogs, hippos, crocs, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, and of course, the ever-majestic elephants.
