Review about Damaraland by Heather Johnston
Namibia is more than a safari. I think I would still recommend east Africa for first timers. But Namibia was varied and amazing.

Can’t miss experience
I was very nervous to book what I considered such an expensive trip online, but everything was great. I usually travel alone and find my own way, but for a first trip to Africa,it was the right choice to book a tour. I booked as a single and was alone with my driver the whole time, which was ideal for me. Every hotel stayed at was spectacular, beyond my expectations. The tour was outsourced to another company, which on arrival was a disappointment, because I booked this company intentionally, but I ended up with E-Pronto and Eddy went out of his way to make sure I had a spectacular trip.

Best Value Trekking Company
Climbed killi via Machame route with my 16 yo daughter for my 50th over new years eve. Chance and the Barafu Team and his crew did an amazing job of getting us to the summit despite some rain and pain. The porters deserve every cent of their tips and more for their agility, strength and singing ability. Pack good rain gear and rated sleeping bag!

Good safari good agency
We went on a 5 day safari. The agency has been very responsive at a distance. The tour was well organized at a reasonable price and we were very pleasantly surprised by the accommodations, comfortable and of good quality. Only downside: the driver was a good driver but not a guide. We had very few explanations which is a shame. We advise you to ask for a guide but may be the price will be higher. Despite everything we recommend this agency that offered us a nice stay at a good value for money.

A paradise of birds
At about 45km from Lake Langano, going in the direction of Addis Ababa Capital, it is possible to stop in the small town of Zua which is an excellent starting point for visiting Lake Ziway.
Zua is a tiny, fervent town of humanity and although the primary goal is to visit Lake Ziway it can also be interesting to spend some time observing the frenetic activity of the population intent on daily activities.
It is possible to visit the lake by boat, rented by one of the many fishermen who will be happy to take you around in exchange for an appropriate fee, but for those who did not have too much time and wanted to see the largest number of endemic species the advice is to take a walk through one of Zua's piers.
With a short walk you can see many species of birds that frequent the pier or its surroundings, looking for food. The first, and the one with the greatest impact, is certainly the African Marabou, a large bird belonging to the Ciconiidae family, which, however, has very little of the beauty of its most famous cousins, the white storks. The Marabou has, more or less, the same size of the stork but the similarities end there: the beak is definitely larger and less graceful and the head looks like a bald head on which grows a disordered tuft of hair. In addition to being unattractive, Marabou also has a "questionable" diet, feeding, mostly, corpses. On the other hand brilliantly fulfills his role as a sweeper for which it is tolerated and is not bothered by the natives.
In addition to the Marabou it is possible to see small groups of Pelicans, who are often attracted by the fishermen in the port who throw fish scraps, the Alopochen aegyptiaca, more commonly known as "Egyptian goose", of the friendly Scopus Umbretta, small hammer-headed birds and , finally, of the beautiful Martin Pescatori.
Passing an hour on the pier you can see many species but if you want to deepen the visit, with a motor boat and a few hours available, you can enjoy a relaxing trip with which to observe many species of birds.

Very professional even if some mistakes occurred
It was perfect, really intense week !
Good lodges, even I would have appreciate to spend 2 nights in lake Mutanda instead of 1.
You forgot to book the lion tracking but hopefully we spotted them without it and I’ve been refunded so no complain.
The only real bad point was the guide because he wasn’t, he was a driver. We never spent time with him and he told us he was not here to entertain. Only gave departure hour, no more. But he is a great driver (Sam)

All according to expectations and as agreed.
We arranged a personalized safari which was all that we expected and more. The places recommended by the agency were fantastic. We did not encounter any problems with what was promised and all went according to plan. We even saw a place which was not in their recommended list but they still arranged to book it for us without hesitation. Again, all was as promised.
Vanessa was our contact in Spirit of Kenya and she always answered promptly to our questions. There were some minor changes to the timing of our flights booked with Spirit of Kenya and we were informed immediately. The only thing that was not that swift was the confirmation of the receipt of our payment and remaining balance to pay. In the end all was clarified, but there was a small confusion on their side.
The safari itself was an incredible experience that I would definitely recommend!

Amazing Kilimanjaro Climb Experience
The guide and assistant guides were all excellent. Highly skilled and each capable of being a lead guide. All were fun, professional and knowledgable. They made the climb enjoyable and safe. I would highly recommend to others and will take my son when he reaches 16 years old.
The safari was fantastic. The tents on the serengetti were excellent and a great experience. Ian is a legendary driver and placed us in the best positions for viewing the wildlife. He made the safari 100% better.
Thanks for the excellent trip. My husband and I had the best time on mountain and safari. We surely recommend Tanzania Exclusive Journeys
