A truly professional company!
Having not done a trip of this nature before we arranged a 7 day guided tour of Namibia taking in Etosha National park, the desert region and Swakomund Bay. Nature Travel Namibia exceeded our expectations in every way. The trip itinerary was well organised and communication throughout by Pepi Kern was exceptional. We had every confidence that we were going to be in for a good trip.
We were not dissapointed by any of the accomodation, food and the vehicle used for the trip.
Our Guide, Stuart is one of the best! and i dont say this lightly after travelling with many guides in the past. His knowledge of the wildlife and the Namibian environment was fabulous, he particularly showed great passion about Namibia and where to be in the parks to witness the animal highlights! We had some long transfers to get around in the time we had but Stuart was great fun in the car, great sense of humour and able to communicate about most things inside or outside his own country. This made all the trips memorable ones.
Anyone wanting to travel to Namibia should consider Nature Travel Namibia, you wont be disappointed!

Amazing and intense week trough several parks
We had an amazing trip with our driver Loui, who drove us from Nairobi to Samburu National Reserve, then to Castle Forest Lodge on Mount Kenya, afterwards to Lake Nakuru National Park and at last to Maasai Mara. They were long trips, but the variety of landscapes and sceneries we got to expernience were incredible. From dry and arid hills in Samuru to veritable rainforests at Castle Forest Lodge to lake scenery in Nakuru Lake National Park to the vast savannah planes of Maasai Mara. The communication with the company was friendly and our driver was experienced and could tell us much about the things we saw. He was also incredible fast at spotting animals in the parks. We stayed at mostly very nice lodges with good food, mostly buffet and nice rooms. We always felt safe during the whole trip due to the good car and the experience of the driver.
We would recommend Josero Tours wholeheartedly!

Specific Honest and Friendly
"We had such a splendid experience with Wildmist our guide Bruce, was incredibly knowledgeable and made the history of Uganda come alive. Everything was so well-planned from the comfortable transportation to the fantastic local restaurants they selected. The pace was perfect, allowing us to see a lot without feeling rushed. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a seamless, enriching trip in uganda.

Anytime again!
Great safari! If we could give more stars we would. Everything was as discussed. The communication in advance was totally easy and fast. The organisation was as discussed and can be flexibly co-designed. We had Exaud as a driver, who has been doing the whole thing for 11 years and therefore recognised the national parks very well. Without a navi, he not only drove us to every lodge, but also showed us the Big 5. Our guide was Zuberi. He spoke German and explained to us a lot about the culture and the animals. Both were super friendly and professional. Anytime again!

Reliable
Me and my family used wildmist adventures for our tour to Queen Elizabeth national park and everything was top notch. The guide was very versed with the park and where we could find the animals. We were able to see lions, buffaloes, hippos, Uganda kobs, elephants and many more. The boat cruise on kazinga channel was good and we were able to see crocodiles, so many groups of hippos and birds. The kids were very excited to see so many animals in their natural habitants. The driver was always on time, fluent in communication, the vehicle was so clean and comfortable. I highly recommend them and you will get the value for your money and unforgettable experience

Absolutely Incredible ❗️❗️❗️ The Best Trip Ever ❗️❗️
My wife and I; along with five other family members and two friends just experiences the most amazing and incredible journey of our life. Our group of nine included; four, 45-50; one mid 60's; and four, mid 70s to early 80s. As a group, we are very experienced travelers with averaging having visited over 40 countries each; some over 70. Four members have visited all seven continents and another four, six. I felt that I needed to lay this foundation for my review.
Each of us felt that this was the most incredible experience of our lives. Tapestry of Africa provided us an unbelievable, life changing experience. Their organization and communications with us was exceptional. Hilda provided support to us at all times and made us feel so special. Since there were nine in our group, they provided two vehicles with fantastic guide/driver. In Kenya, we had George and Vincent; in Tanzania, Yuda and Tanzanian Vincent. These guides were not just doing a job of guiding us in the National Parks and Conservations Areas. They were on a mission to share a lifetime of experience with us and to change our perspective on nature, wildlife, and conservation; they succeeded. We all have a greater appreciation for the experience we had and know that we have to help ensure these parks and conservation areas are available to future generations.
What can I say about the lodge accommodations, they were top notch and spectacular; the food delicious; but most importantly, the people were so friendly and sharing of their culture and the heritage are striving to protecting.
Our safari was planned as 11 days, five nights in three different national parks in Kenya and the same in Tanzania. Our group arrived a day early in Nairobi and Tapestry organized a day tour around Nairobi which included the Nairobi National Park; a visit to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust which is world famous for their work with orphaned elephants and rhinos. We saw the feeding time for over 20 baby elephants, the one baby rhino and a lone baby zebra and we got to fed giraffes at the giraffe center.
We spent the last two nights of the safari at Tortillas Camp in Amboseli National Park. This was a beautiful spot to end our incredible voyage of discovery. There is a perimeter fence and guards to ensure our safety but which allows us to roam the camp grounds and enjoy the natural beauty. I highly recommend adding another day there before returning to Nairobi.
Lastly, I want to thank the Matt and Albert who were always available to assist and answer questions.

Best safari tour company!
It was the best choice to go on a 5 days safari journey with Ndutu Green Explorers, especially with the specialist guide Omary. All journey was extremely smooth and well organised, we didn't have any chance to feel insecure, bored or stuck. Omary was always there for us, listening to our needs well, calm, kind and polite. Traveling with him was such a treat for us. He's a true nature lover, so knowledgeable about plants and animals in Tanzania. He also had respect for animals, which makes me feel better to get into the sanctuary for them. Every day was an amazing adventure, we could encounter so many unforgettable moments - my favourite is the baby elephant playing in the mud. Omary was really good at finding animals. All the accommodation and food was really good quality. I can't recommend more, thanks for your service!

An African trip that brought me surprises
Among numerous travel agencies, we chose Big Cats. It was a very right decision. We have contacted several travel agencies. They responded very quickly, and modified the itinerary as we requested. And their prices are relatively reasonable. Before departure, they confirmed all the reservations with us, and explained in detail the travel arrangements. They also arranged an experienced tour guide for us. For a ten-day trip, we got along very well with Eliasi. We learned a lot from him about wild animals. This trip is really unforgettable.

Book with Alex for an amazing trip of a lifetime
From the 1st conversation I had with Alex, she listened carefully to what we wanted to do, made good suggestions and tweaked the itinerary several times to accommodate changing numbers in our group and our budget.
Alex was available throughout the trip to help. Fortunately we only needed to contact her once when we came close to missing our connection to Kigali.
The trip was very well organised, and all the local logistics worked seamlessly.
All her recommendations were valuable & appreciated:
• The itinerary and length of time in each place
• Staying in the parks to maximise our experiences
• Getting quality guides particularly in Tanzania
Our guide in Rwanda, Nuuru was helpful, courteous and very knowledgeable about his country. Always on time to meet us with a ready smile on his face. He went over and above- took us to airport early in morning to get our delayed luggage, ensured that we were assigned an easy gorilla trek and a friendly gorilla family so that everyone in our group was able to see and enjoy their time with the gorillas.
In Tanzania we were so lucky to have Gabriel Mushi from Nomad Tanzania as our guide for the safari through the Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire parks and conservation areas. Gabriel is a world class guide, extremely knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions. He is also a very safe driver (an important consideration when you see some of the other driving).
We had the time and, Gabriel showed us the value of being patient, to watch animal behaviours and be rewarded with some amazing animal experiences every day. Gabriel encouraged us to start early to experience areas with fewer people and more animal activity. Without him. there were so many things we wouldn’t have seen or experienced. He was always early, immaculately dressed and has a wicked sense of humour.
When one of our group required medical attention, Gabriel came early in the morning, cleaned and dressed the wound, drove us to a clinic and ensured the person got the necessary medical help. Fortunately, it was not serious. When we parted, it was like saying goodbye to a good friend.
We went for 2 weeks in September 2025.
If you would like to have an amazing trip to see the gorillas in Rwanda and a Tanzanian safari, we highly recommend Alex.
