Unforgettable experience with the best company
It was an incredible experience, a dream from way back that finally came true!
Each day we were amazed at the fact that a new day had to come to share not only the trip with our guide but also with new companions. We never thought to see such a number of animals nor to have them so close to us. Definitely an adventure I really mean it- but every night you go to bed with a big smile on your face.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone at Sote Tours for giving us such an amazing experience. We will wholeheartedly recommend you to our friends and family.

The staff of Nature Travel Namibia are informed, flexible and helpful.
Nature Travel Namibia did a wonderful job suggesting and preparing our Namibia itinerary and then modifying the route and stops to meet our desires. Petra was knowledgeable, responsive and helpful every step of the process. Stewart Matsopo was an outstanding guide and driver. A veritable walking warehouse of information, he was enthusiastic, engaged and a very safe driver. We appreciated his and the agency's willingness to make day to day "tweaks" to the itinerary based on our interests and energy levels. The lodges felt safe, were clean and well staffed with friendly and welcoming people. The food was uniformly good. The Okonjima Plains Camp was our most luxurious stay. It was also there that we capped our trip with close up views of a collared leopard. Stewart was expert and locating and identifying wildlife. We saw herds of elephants, giraffes, wildebeest, zebras, many kinds of antelope and exoctic birds. He also explained the geology, weather and plants that we were seeing along with information about the history and culture of Namibia.

Very attentive, quick reactions and professional
Did a 3 day tour of serengeti and Ngorongoro. Amazing experience! They were able to put me together with another group. Good communication, everything was as described beforehand. Recommend!

Superb Authentic Safari Experience
I recommend this Safari experience without reservation. We transferred from J'Berg, with a smooth hotel pick up. Drive to the Tresimina Lodge was in a well air-conditioned minivan with a couple of good stops including one for lunch in Dullstroom. On arrival we literally saw an Elephant right by the lodgings and that was certainly not the last! We got shown to our rooms, clean with fresh linen and mosquito nets, and almost straight away went for a sunset Safari and evening Brai (BBQ) in the bush. This kind of rest, eat, Safari schedule went on for the entire four days. We saw SO many fabulous and healthy looking animals, for me highlights were the tribes of Impala, Zebra, Giraffe and in main KP accompanied by Wildebeest. I also loved the early (5 am!!) walk in the bush, and the random encounters with real live wild animals of all shapes and sizes. Viva Safari have EXCELLENT guides, they are knowledgeable, they make you feel safe, and they clearly love the animals and the bush and don't seem to mind the at times naive questions from all tourists. We really had a great time. We encountered a Rhino at very very close quarters, all of us were surprised including the Rhino. Herds of buffalo and Impala in the distance and close by and for those that count 4/big5 🦁🦏🦛🦬 (and I often felt a Leopard was lurking somewhere near) 5/5 ugly 5 and so many birds big and small. As for the incredible strength of the dung beetles!! This would suit all types, Viva Safari look after you very well and the FOOD is fantastic, varied, plentiful and delicious. I also enjoyed meeting fellow travellers some single some couples and some mixed family groups. All made welcome.

“Ndutu Green Explorer — where good vibes meet great wildlife.”
We had an amazing 6-day safari with our guide Omar. We organized the entire trip via WhatsApp and were able to adjust everything just the way we wanted.
Omar really took great care of us and was always perfectly on time. We learned so much from him about the different species and the region’s history. We were also incredibly lucky and saw far more animals than we ever expected. Even though we travelled during the low season, we didn’t miss out at all — if you’re considering going at this time of year, we can truly recommend it. We also appreciated how Omar guided us on how to behave around wildlife and reminded us to respect nature — trash in, trash out.
We had such a wonderful time.
We would gladly recommend Ndutu Green Explorer to all our friends!

An Unforgettable Safari Experience - Thanks to Leon!
Our recent safari trip exceeded all expectations, and we owe much of that to Leon, our fantastic tour operator. From the initial planning stages to the last day of the trip, Leon’s attention to detail was outstanding. He took the time to understand our preferences, including dietary restrictions, and ensured that everything was perfectly tailored to our needs.
What made this trip even more special was that Leon didn't just plan it—he joined us! Along with another expert guide, the four of us set off on an unforgettable adventure. Having Leon there, sharing his knowledge and passion for the wildlife, made the experience all the more enriching.
The accommodation choices were another highlight. Leon curated a brilliant mix of lodges and tented camps, each offering unique charm and comfort. We felt immersed in the wild while still enjoying a high level of comfort. The routes and additional activities, like the hot air balloon safari, were perfectly aligned with our trip and gave us experiences that we’ll cherish forever.
This 5-day safari was truly the trip of a lifetime, and we can't thank Leon enough for making it all come together so seamlessly. We highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a safari experience that goes above and beyond.

Yvonne is very meticulous, caring and patient. She loves her job and does it exceptionally well.
Yvonne Kennedy organized and booked my trip to Mombasa. She presented me with several options within my budget and made recommendations based on my interests. She then booked the trip for me, taking into account my preferences. For example, I wanted a sea-facing room, and she specified the same when booking the hotel. She is always available on call in case of anything and keeps you in the loop throughout the arrangement process.
I took the trip for my birthday, and she liaised with the hotels I stayed at to surprise me, which made me feel very special. She checked in on me regularly as I was travelling alone and confirmed that everything met my expectations. She also recommended activities to do and restaurants/places to visit.
I cannot wait for my next trip. African Challenge Safaris gives you the true vacation experience.

This was the trip of a lifetime and Claire from Off2Africa Travel made it happen. Not only did we see some of natures most incredible wonders, but we experience it with comfort, excellent service and with great food. Claire was amazing in ensuring the trip exceeded our expectations and was flexible when we asked for changes. Well done to Claire and Off2Africa travel!

A lifelong memory provider!
Taufique was an exeptional guide and even more so, an exeptional person. We left Rwanda and Golden Rwanda Safaris with wonderful memories that we will carry with us for life now. Thank you for sharing your extensive knowledge, your love of life and the epic landscapes of your beautiful country. We have learned so much more than just a safari tour and we will remember you always.
We highly recommend going with their safari tours. Taufique had made sure we got the absoulte most from the excursion and they clearly take huge pride in providing a comfortable experience. From first impression to the last, every detail is taken care of to provide a first class service. We could not have hoped for better! We truly hope our paths will cross again in the future.

Very knowledgable, supportive and great service to give us a trip of a lifetime!
Shannon was our main contact at Indigo Safaris. She was very personable and supportive from the initial contact all the way through the booking process, safari options and choices, support during the trip (including one minor panic when an international flight connection was changed!) to the end of the trip itself.
We undertook a multi-location tour include Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana and then back to Namibia for a family of 5 with older teenage and adult children.
The trip itinerary was complete from the time we arrived at Windhoek airport in Namibia all the way through to the time we left to return home. We had a day-by-day specialised itinerary with regular contact with Shannon during the trip to manage internal safari transfers.
Shannon even gave us first hand experience of one of the Safari lodges as she visited it a few weeks before our trip and sent us photos.
Overall I would highly recommend Indigo Safaris.
