I would say he was much more than just a tour operator, very kind, friendly, always available.
We didn't have any problems, it was very satisfying, the guide always knew where to go in the right place at the right time
Superb guides and an unforgettable experience
Natureways looked after us from the moment we touched down in Harare. Our flight was delayed, but by the time we landed, they had made alternative travel and accommodation arrangements, which we very much appreciated .
Our overnight stay at Hornbill Lodge was just what we needed after lengthy long haul travel. It is the perfect place to unwind and relax.
The fish eagle Safari down the Zambezi was for us a unique and exciting adventure. Our three guides Kambel, Crispin and Patrick were superb. They are amazingly sharp sighted.
They looked after us 24 hours a day. Kambel was particularly knowledgeable and taught us all about the wildlife, birds, Flora and fauna as well as the traditions and cultures of Zimbabwe. We spent many happy hours chatting as we paddled along and around the stove in the evening.
The food was delicious and beautifully presented. I particularly appreciated the care that was taken over dietary requirements.
We had several close encounters with animals, but the presence of our guides ensured we always felt safe. I would highly recommend the canoe Safari to anyone looking to immerse themselves in nature.

Superb
I booked a 4-day tour in the tent village at quite short notice. MoAfrika were a model of helpful communication, giving me information about my alternative options and going out of their way to meet my dates and requests. I was expecting fairly basic accommodation but the tents are huge, with en suite facilities and incredibly comfortable beds! It was cold at night but in the bed, covered by duvet and blankets, I was toasty warm. Noxy our host was super friendly and helpful. The game drives themselves were extraordinary: the experience of a lifetime. In my eight drives in all I saw elephant, lion, rhino, giraffe, hippo, cheetah, baboon, kudu, hyena, warthog, water buck, wildebeest, impala and lots of birds. (And rabbits). All the guides are incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and their behaviours, and their ability to spot and track the wildlife made the drives infinitely more rewarding than they would have been if I had hired a car and tried to do it myself. (And the safari vehicles are so much higher than a car, greatly improving visibility.) The scenery on its own, particularly at sunrise and sunset, is spectacular. I cannot recommend MoAfrika’s tours too highly. (And they’re not even paying me to say this!)

Amazing Safari!
My safari experience was truly amazing!
Shoutouts to the exceptional team who made it unforgettable:
- John, for arranging transport with the outstanding driver Kamidi, who went above and beyond – driving me to a local dinner spot on my last day and even helping me order!
- Our incredibly patient and knowledgeable guide Melita, who helped us spot every animal – the elusive rhino included!
- And Jeremiah, our talented cook, who served up fresh and delicious meals throughout.
I'm forever grateful and will definitely recommend!

Attention to the smallest detail! Fulfilled a lifetime dream. The best tour company in Uganda!
We began planning this 3 week adventure almost a year prior to arriving. Bob, the owner was a class act. After inquiring from 6 to 7 different tour companies, Bob responded with a professional. Proposal with details on every day’s activities and each day accommodations. His presentation was so complete we decided we had to inquire further from shuttle hospitality. During every stage of our planning, Bob was supportive and responsive almost immediately to every inquiry we had. He took the stress out of What could otherwise have been a bit overwhelming.
After all our questions had been resolved, and a long trip from the US we arrived in Kampala Uganda with the VIP treatment. We were greeted at the plane, not in arrivals, by a representative who quickly who whisked us through the formalities and helped with our massive amount of luggage. Bob and his guides Francis and Herbert are outside waiting for us. Their vehicle was clean and had plenty of space for my wife and I and our luggage.
Francis, our primary guide was extremely knowledgeable and not only animals and the environment, but the history of Uganda and its tribes. Every detail was addressed from morning until night. We enjoyed our days, whether traveling to a new location or upon arrival and learned so much. Francis insured fluid fulfillment of the proposal Bob sent.
We had to have been very lucky on our Safari as we saw every animal we had hoped to see up close. We saw Jacob of the three legged lion.( Google his famous story) to tree, climbing, lionesses and perhaps over 100 elephants within 20 yards of us at the closest point. Francis insured that we got the best view and pointed out animals some of which I initially couldn’t see, even after pointing them out. He helped us with our cameras and took wonderful pictures. Francis continued day after day checking on us sitting in the back of the trucks to ensure our comfort was satisfactory.. Once Francis knew that we liked french fries he went out of his way to have french fries waiting for us ( and hot I might add at many stops along the way.
The hotels selected by Bob were more than adequate. While not all of them had air conditioning those that didn’t were beautiful tented locations. The food for exceeded our expectations No where were we disappointed in the food.
Perhaps the highlight and the reason for us choosing Uganda was to see the Primates. We were so fortunate to see on our first chimpanzee trekking over 25 chimps that were on the ground running around us paying us no attention. What a thrilling site. But perhaps the highlight of our trip was to go see the Gorillaz. We were very fortunate to find a family within 20 minutes of hiking into the jungle. These gorillas put on a wonderful fascinating show with the younger Gorillas playing together and grooming the silver back. We hired a porter to carry our camera equipment who was right there every time I needed a lens change and even helped us taking GoPro footage.
We had some initial challenges with our visa, which required a change of flights from Johannesburg to Kampala, but Bob and Francis adjusted quickly and accommodated us. They made changes to hotels for us. Despite the stress of that experience, we were reassured along the way that it would be taken care of and it was.
I am not a regular user of superlatives however, my wife and I cannot recommend shuttle hospitality any higher. If you want a complete and total immersive safari experience with knowledgeable guides and attentive management, you found it here with shuttle hospitality.
We want to thank Bob, Francis and Herbert for their kindness and attention to every detail for us. They made the difference between an average and adequate safari to a truly lifetime a memorable one.

Great experience
The safari went great, all included. Communication with the driver and pick up were very good. Accommodation was very good, I slept in a shared 2 people tent the first night, and the second night I slept alone. Food included in the pack was also good, a few different options available. The guide took good care of us and was available for anything. Service and price were very good value.
