Funny, personable and knowledgeable!
Our tour was great! I think coming during the slower season allowed for a few advantages. First being our smaller group size which made for a very personalized experience. Also, with it being cooler, the roads were less packed, the animals were up and roaming/feeding. Our guide Thabo did an amazing job finding all of the animals he could which included MANY close encounters with elephants, giraffes, hippos, rhinos and many more. Overall I would definitely recommend this experience and this tour company!

Entertaining, Thrilling and Educational
It was amazing! Our guide Shumba was exceptional and had so much knowledge about all the animals we saw. Was so good to see so many of the big animals, even though we knew it was only a chance we would be able to see them. The food was wonderful and all staff were very friendly.

Perfect!
xperience. The organizer is very reliable and punctual. The staff are incredibly competent and friendly, they know a lot about the area and nature. The tents were extremely comfortable and clean. Thanks to the thermal blanket, there was no lack of warmth either. On our safari we saw the big 5 and many more rare animals (cheetah, wild dog, etc.). The food was always freshly prepared and tasted excellent. The whole trip was great! Thank you Mbombela Experience!

Lilly and her team were amazing; super helpful, knowledgeable and responsive throughout the process.
What an incredible experience. I reached out to several travel agencies with a vague idea of planning a family trip to Namibia. Lilly (Great Explorations Namibia) responded right away and put a sample itinerary together with a route, lodges to stay, things to do, excursions to consider, etc. We had some specific ideas and changes in mind and she was very responsive, modifying the plans, providing suggestions, etc.
Once the plans were finalized, she arranged and booked everything (rental 4x4 vehicle, airport transfer, lodges, etc.). Making payments was easy (I have to admit that I was a bit nervous sending a sizeable sum of money to a country in Africa) but all that worked without any problems. Upon our arrival in Windhoek, everything worked like a charm and we had no issues. Even in the one private game reserve where we were not 'on the list' at the gate to be allowed onto the property (still 40 miles on dirt roads from the actual lodge), a quick WhatsApp message to Lilly got that resolved in 15 minutes. Overall I can only highly recommend Lilly and her team!!
The trip itself was amazing and beyond what we expected. We had close-up encounters with lions, cheetahs, rhinos, elephants, wildebeest (i.e. 'the big five'), as well as giraffes, zebras, kudu's, oryx, springbok (thousands of them), hippos, crocs, warthogs, etc.. Great hiking on the sand dunes in Sossusvlei and fun riding quad bikes in the desert sand outside of Swakupmund. The desert scenery is beautiful (amazing sunsets!), the roads - while mostly gravel - are quite good. The lodges/accommodations were wonderful even though you're in the middle of nowhere. Internet access/wifi is available in most places (but with limited bandwidth) and in some places wifi was only accessible in the main lodge and not in the rooms (on the positive side, that forced us to actually enjoy our vacation and not be on email all the time).
All in all, a trip of a life time made possible by an amazing travel agent!!

Lencer has a warm personality and highly motivated I truly enjoyed my stay .
The scenery was beautiful and a peaceful environment to stay
She had good knowledge about the sceneries which made me learn more about the park and culture.The 7days in Tsavo national park was worth and looking forward for more exciting experience with fabrics of adventure safaris.
All respect to Lencer Deisy for the great work you are a true example of excellent tour consultant
Many thanks and I recommend Lencer Deisy to everyone you'll not be disappointed.

Knowledgeable
Such a great company and cool experience! We were on a time crunch because of an evening flight and they made sure we got the most of out the day and also that we were back in time! The tour operator, Ben, was so dedicated to having us see as many animals as possible. He was very friendly and told some great facts. Highly recommend!

Professional and friendly!
We have such a good experience with Silverbird Tours. They offer a good (honest) price, are professional and reliable and are easy to get in touch with. We had Damascene as our tour guide to Akagera and had a great experience. So friendly and really on the lookout for animals. Murakoze!

Amazing Budget safari
Tour well organized and amazing. Tremisana lodge comfortable and nice. Marc's camp budget, cooking and staff very good. Planning organization efficient. Tent too small and without place to wardrobe.
