Personalised Namibia-tour - big dream came true and even more
We just game back to Finland from our two weeks Namibia-tour. This has been our dream for a long time and now: wow... just wow-wow-wow. We could tell so much about everything we have experienced and enjoyed and how wonderful everything was. But... we say: perfect in every way. We do not know, how something could have been better.
We can not thank enough Nicolette, who was so helpful and kind in advance and made all reservations and listened our changes and wishes and made every of them possible! Such a perfect personalised service, and how in earth she can be so fast!
And Marc, our guide. Ten points in expertise about nature, animals, history etc. Ten points in making our holiday so easy and relaxing. Ten points in taking care of us and our needs. Ten points in exceeding our hopes and dreams. Ten points in beeing just a wonderful person and part of our holiday, not just a guide. And ten points in listening to finnish sense of humour...
Nicolette and Marc really made our dream come true, and even more. Now we are not dreaming of a white christmas, but we are dreaming of a new trip/holiday with help of Nicolette, Marc and Nature Travel Namibia.

After payment you will feel poor but after safari you feel that you are the richest person alive.
Here are the reasons why I have chosen Shemeji Safari:
(1) quick replies
(2) a proper PDF offer with descriptions, pictures and prices
(3) payment can be made to an European bank
We ordered 4-days lodge safari for 2pax.
The tour took us through Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro National Park, Serengeti National Park & Ngorongoro Crater. If you choose the same trip, you better take your warm clothes with you (I mean winter jacket, seriously)!
Our guide Patrick was very skillful driver. You will experience some African massage. There are a lot of driving on different roads.
Accommodations were incredible. Dinners and breakfasts were delicious. I didn't like our lunch boxes as I saw what others ate for lunch (pasta, huge sandwiches, fresh fruits). I am very picky when it comes to food, so maybe you will not have the same issue during your safari. I still suggest you to buy some snacks for backup.
It is hard to describe all the emotions when you see wild animals in their natural environment. You cannot leave Africa without going to a safari. I recommend to do the safari with a local guide because they will take you to the best locations. They communicate with each other by radio to find most rare animals.

Excellent Safari Company
We did a 5-day safari with Wildways, visiting Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. This was the highlight of our honeymoon!
Wildways is a small company providing customized tours and 100% personalized attention, with good cost-benefit. Alpha and Mariki are in the business for more than 15yrs.
Before traveling, Alpha was very quick in responding and always suggested different options until we found the best in terms of price and accommodations.
During the safari, Mariki, the tour guide & driver, took us to all the premium spots for animal watching. He is an excellent and safe driver. He was also very flexible with the times and itinerary, always finding the best option for us.
The car was always clean and offered us great comfort even in the long distances we travelled.
Ask Mariki about animals and wildlife! He is very knowledgeable and will share his knowledge about birds, animals and their habits.
After the tour was over, we asked Alpha for help to get transportation and tour info in Zanzibar. Even though his services had ended he offered help and saved us a lot of headache in Zanzibar. This is great service!!!
Thank you Alpha and Mariki!

Professional , knowledgeable, listened to our concerns and alleviated our fears
Can’t highly recommended Ubuntu safaris enough , from out first discussions of what we would like to do to the first proposals from which to choose was , insightful and professional and you knew that they knew what they were doing . They gave great suggestions where to stay etc for the best location of the great migration only someone with deep knowledge of the great migration would get this right which they did .
They listened to what our concerns were travelling with young ladies and put our fears at bay . Not a stoned was left unturned to ensure out trip was safe and exceeded all our expectations .
Quan made our wish list happen , covering 5 counties in 20 days , what we thought would be impossible, Quan made possible
No question was too difficult to answer , believe me we asked many along the way .
Quan went out of his way to accommodate our meetings in the office and at hand always when a question came up.
The itinerary was so detailed and had absolutely everything we needed .
He had to liaise with our travelling family in London and nothing was too much trouble even with time difference .
He even went out of his way to put us in touch with his wildlife photographer for tips and tricks before our trip .
We so were fortunate to have his father Gerald pick us up from Johannesburg airport and take us to our hotel .We had a wonderful dinner with Gerald and Louise at a wonderful local restaurant, what an unexpected and wonderful way to start our adventure, discussing our trip and what to expect and sharing their wonderful travel stories .Their hospitality will never be forgotten and truly a wonderful memory of our trip.
Once again so blessed to have Gerald pick us up from hotel and drop us off at the airstrip to start our safari , this personal touch money can’t buy.
All our adventures were in themselves amazing , hard to have a favourite as they were all soo different .
SA - Sabi Sands
Zambia
Tanzania , crater and Serengeti
Uganda - Gorilla trek
Each country and experience was beyond words and surpassed our expectations
It was important for us to experience the local culture and communities which he assisted in making happen . This definitely touched all our hearts and is an experience we will never forget .
There were 2 birthdays on our trip and Quan assisted in making these memorable and special .
There were no major hiccups along the way but knowing we had Quan and Gerald at an email / phone call away made us relax .
There was delayed local flight that would make our connection very tight and we weren’t getting much information from the local airstrip .
We contacted Cuan back in Australia, he found out what was happening with the flight and organised with airline to rush us through to connecting flight and then again had someone waiting for us as soon as we got off the plane to ensure connection made , we could have not made this happen .
Knowing this was arranged made us feel at ease .
I’m one who always organises our own travel , as good as I think I am I could have never even started to book a trip to Africa .
The complexities of our travel , countries , timing , could only be done by someone who has an in-depth knowledge of all the African countries .
We can’t thank Cuan , Gerald and Louise enough for making our trip the most memorable one we have ever experienced .
We left a piece of our hearts in Africa and we will be back and the first person we will see will be Cuan .
Thank you Ubuntu safari you made our dreams come true and exceed all our expectations.
Until next time .

Lakes Nakuru and Naivasha
Excellent communications and organisation as the one day trip included pick-up and drop-off in Nairobi, a full lap locating of spotted game around Lake Nakuru, lunch, a boat ride on Lake Naivasha and a nice walk on Crescent island. Countless animals and birds, many seen very close by. Beautiful nature and very friendly and informative tour guide and driver.

Very niche!
Wonderful planning and execution! Camp recommended (Spekes Camp) was excellent. Can never forget the nocturnal visit of the elephant, wild buffalo and hyena!
Can also forgive Kenya Airlines for always being late!
