A top notch experience from start to finish
I found Nature Travel Namibia recommended in the Rough Guide and, after reviewing their website, got in touch with them about our trip. From start to finish they were incredibly responsive, helpful and professional.
Whilst we had a pretty good idea of what we wanted to do, Petra really helped us hone the trip and offered some great adaptations to our plan, particularly the recommend for Jackalberry camp in the Caprivi Strip. She then handled all the booking and organisation of transport, accommodation and activities, both for Namibia and Botswana, following up with an extremely detailed itinerary document covering all possible information we could need.
Everything ran flawlessly at each stage of the trip - not one issue across a whole month, though even if there were I wouldn't have been concerned, as Petra and her colleagues respond so swiftly to any query or contact.
A particular shout out goes to their choice of car rental company - Warthog 4x4. They were excellent, taking us through everything we might need to know about the vehicle in great detail, and making us feel utterly confident about heading out on our own. NTN clearly check their suppliers and people they recommend, which is of great reassurance too.
Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Indeed, I already recommended them to several people we met whilst on our trip! An excellent company providing great service.

Fantastic Safari adventure
This was my first time to Kenya, and trying to select a safari was initially very intimidating, but I am so glad I selected Savannah Woods Safari for my first experience! Lucy was extremely responsive, and the whole trip was so simple, from pickup to drop-off. My guide, Alvin, was knowledgeable, patient, and made the experience unforgettable. He made sure that I was able to see everything Masai Mara had to offer in my 3-day safari. I stayed at Mara Sopa lodge, and it was wonderful. The cabins were peaceful, the hospitality was amazing, and the food was delicious, perfect for relaxing after a long game drive. I do wish I had paid attention to other reviewers who mentioned having enough cash, as it was difficult to judge how much to bring, and there was definitely a perception as a Westerner that I should have endless cash supplies. That said, I would highly recommend Savannah Woods safaris for anyone traveling to Kenya, and definitely ask for Alvin to be your guide!

Good safari, average company.
We chose migration venture based on a limited budget, as it was one of the more reasonably priced company’s. We had a great time on Safari and made lasting memories. We will say our experience with the company was not as good as we experienced with other company’s on our trip to Tanzania. Communication when arranging the safari was difficult and slow. Replies often did not answer the questions asked, and the details were missing! They tried to charge for airport collection, when it turned out the guides were coming from Moshi all along, this was disappointing. They also tried to charge a 5% surcharge to the over all bill until challenged. We were told a very high tipping rate for the guide also. They did not ask about dietary requirements before the trip and then had to sort on the morning. If these details could be improved the experience would be better! Thanks to our guide Octavian we still had an amazing Safari seeing lots of animals in the parks! (It may be worth considering generally especially for shorter trips like ours that Lake Manyara is sadly experiencing flooding and therefore the wildlife is effected in the area).

Amazing experience!
We loved our experience in Tanzania. We dos a 4 day safari: Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire. Everything was really well organized, with perfect timings and our guide, Peter, was so kind, gentle and explained us a lot about the animals and also about the country. The lodges were all very good too (and the food also!). We thank Peter for everything, he really made this amazona experience a perfect one. We just regret not staying longer. Asante sana!

The perfect guide and the perfect trip.Please feel free to choose them.
Our guide and driver, Mr. Okuli, he was a very gentle and patient person, we came here as two students, at first we were worried that there might be some problems, but we didn't encounter any problems or difficulties at all along the way, both the hotel and the food were impeccable, because there is a perennial shortage of water in Africa and some power outages, but we didn't encounter There were no problems and I think they are doing everything possible to give the customer the best experience possible. I must elaborate on the food, before I went to Tanzania I always thought the food might not be to my taste, it turned out to be the opposite, Tanzania both the chef and the other service staff, they did a great job thankfully. This travel agency also gave us the most perfect Serengeti experience, our guide Mr. Okuli drove more than 10 hours a day and took us everywhere to look for animals, we talked a lot along the way and became good friends, I am very grateful for not having any problems during this trip and making a kind, gentle and patient friend, I hope your travel agency gets better and better and I hope Mr. Okuli I hope your travel agency will get better and better, and I hope Mr. Okuli will also have a good time. Lastly, I want to tell you to feel free to choose this travel agency and I swear he will give you a great Serengeti experience.

Kilimanjaro Experience
I Did the 6 day Marangu route, starting at the Marangu gate. Had a fantastic experience with the main guide Denis mtui and his team. Taking the Marangu route allowed us to see the entirety of Mount Kilimanjaro from all angles.
Very scenic and beautiful, and the pacing of the trip was very nice with plenty of time for acclimatization, and the service and support by the crew was excellent.
Every day we got served three warm meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner), which all were very tasty. In fact, every single day we got served something different, an impressive feat seeing as we were on a 6 days hike. Beyond this, everyone in the crew were so friendly and helpful.
I highly recommend booking through Let's view Tanzania if you’re keen to climb Kilimanjaro

Amazing trek in the Rwenzori Mountains
My friend and I just finished an 8-day trek in the Rwenzori mountains with Bujuku Eco Tours and had an amazing time. From the beginning, they were well organized and flexible to tailor personalized trip. The driver Johnson was very kind and expounded on Uganda's history and nature. The company supplied us with high-quality climbing and camping gear that we were unable to bring but was essential for a safe journey. We camped in tents along the Bukurungu trail as we enjoyed the solitude of mystical mountain valleys away from the groups on the central circuit. The hikes were challenging but the team chef supplied us with warm drinks and filling meals to keep us going. Summiting Mt. Speke and Mt. Stanley, we learned new mountaineering techniques while taking in the breathtaking mountain landscapes. I highly recommend Bujuku Eco Tours for any trek in the Rwenzori Mountains to ensure a safe, comfortable, and exciting trek.

Lion King Adventures far exceeds all expectations.
Our group of 7 (age ranges 12-62) were blessed to be paired with Gilbert and Saleh for our safari adventures. They were the best guides ever!
They took us EVERYWHERE - - Serengeti, Manyara, Ngorongoro, Tarangire.
Gilbert knew my son was into birding so he always took the time to stop, point out birds, tell us what the bird was, and would even share information on it. Their ability to spot animals and knowledge was impressive. Lion King far exceeded our expectations and we recommend them 1000 times over!
