An unforgettable trip
The safari has been an unforgettable experience. We had a great time. Every day we were part of the beauty of nature. Each park surprised us day by day.
Wildebeest migration in the Serengeti is perhaps the most shocking and exciting.
Our guide, Erasto, had a very important role in the safari, who with his knowledge and joy made us spend very beautiful moments. He taught us a lot about animals, about life in Tanzania, about his language, etc. He is also a very funny and educated person. He was watching us every day.
The safari met our expectations and more.
Thank you so much for everything

They were very experienced, professional, and fun!
There was clear communications with expectations and payment and Kakasii did a great job overseeing and coordinating our trip. Leslie was absolutely astounding and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. We were so lucky and thankful to be with such a great company!

Robust tour of South Africa and Victoria Falls with safaris in Chobe and Madikwe.
We could not be more satisfied with the arrangements made by Gail at Pembury. She was very responsive to all our questions before we arrived in South Africa. Gail correctly placed us in accommodations that perfectly fit our desires. Transfers were prompt and day trips were excellent. Our main safari at Impodimo in Madikwe was awesome. Their new comfortable waterhole hide provided us with up close viewing of elephants, giraffes, warthogs, zebras, and many varieties of antelope and birds. Our trip was everything we hoped for and more.

Everything We Wanted to See ... and More
Our private tour took us through astounding desert scenery, to the tops of unimaginable dunes and to sightings of incredible wildlife at fabulous watering holes. We started with a visit to the incredible dunes of Sossusvlei. Our guide Charl ensured we got to them in time to photograph them in the best morning light possible. Climbing to the top was a wonderful experience as was wandering among the 900 year old trees on the salt flat. From there it was off to Swakopmund and a safari to look for the little five in the adjacent Namibia Desert. Our local guide Chantal, was amazing with her knowledge and ability to track the tiny creatures - from the Sidewinder snake to the Palmetto lizard. Our flight, arranged for by Nick, over the Namib Desert was truly amazing. To see the dunes from the air reinforced our great decision to have seen and climbed them. The final part of our experience with Charl and Nature Travel Namibia was the safari in Etosha Park. We saw an amazing array of animals - from lions and elephants at a watering hole to an impala staring down and challenging a leopard to chase him. The leopard didn’t! We enjoyed mostly excellent accommodation throughout the trip along with very good meals. Charl was an incredible wealth of knowledge and willingly shared that knowledge. We all felt very comfortable and safe while he was driving - which was quite a lot. The distances we had to travel over gravel roads was the only downside, although unavoidable, of the trip. Thanks again for a terrific trip. We can’t recommend Nick, Charl and Nature Travel Namibia enough and

A wonderful wildlife experience
From day one I was impressed with Mashihambe. All the reviews I read were actually true from Jude's regular, informative emails to Ant's legendary culinary skills! The main attraction, Africa, in all its shades did not disappoint. The landscape, the wildlife, the trees, the people were wonderful and 26 days passed all too quickly.
The tour was designed to experience different aspects of Southern Africa and every day brought new animals, new landscapes and new experiences. The accommodation was varied and always comfortable. From guest houses like home to unique resorts and cabins, everywhere we went we were met by smiling faces, soft beds and hot showers, no mean feat in the middle of the Kalahari, miles from anywhere!
The focus being wildlife, we spent hardly any time in towns and had opportunities every day do go on long game drives looking for animals. I never tired of it! Ant has had long years of experience and could answer every curly question I threw at him. He has an unquenched enthusiasm for everything African and his love of it all was highly infectious! And when I left my passport in a safe and didn't notice for 3 days, he seemed to know everyone in Botswana to get it back to me safe and sound.

Awesome!
I was in Nairobi for work and only had one day off on my own to enjoy seeing some of Kenya's extraordinary wildlife. I chose to do the Amboseli day trip from Nairobi and it was magnificient! My guide and driver was very knowledgeable and made sure that the visit to the park was focused on what I wanted to see and at the pace that I wanted. It's an extraordinary park to watch elephants, hippos, giraffes and many other animals. I had an unforgettable time and, whilst I would have loved to have had 5 days instead of one, it was well worth going for one day. Warmly recommended!

Trip of a Lifetime - Okavango Delta - Chobe - Vic Falls Tour
Thanks to Kalahari Breeze for a phenomenal tour!
Pre-Tour: After emailing Maria of an idea of what we wanted to see and the time frame/budget, she emailed me within 24 hours with an itinerary that fit our needs. Of course there were many questions before we said "yes" and Maria answered them all promptly. Paying for the tour was easy too. She sent a detailed itinerary that had every date, time and company we should expect to see that I printed and referred to in case I had forgotten what we were doing each day.
During Tour: So amazed at how smoothly things went. From every pick up point to the activities that were included (game drives, walking safaris, two boat rides). The camping on the delta was better than expected. The food was great considering there was no stove, oven, fridge, etc. I mean, we had baked lasagna and fresh baked bread!! And, the people were so friendly and just wanted to make sure you were comfortable. Of course the wildlife was fantastic and Victoria Falls was something that was on my bucket list. Definitely better than Niagara Falls (IMHO).
Someday I want to visit the Kalahari Desert and I will use Kalahari Breeze as my tour operator when I do.

SCAM - PLEASE DO NOT BOOK
Please do not go anywhere near this company or a company called Right Choice Tours. We had booked, paid deposit, had everything confirmed for our 4 day safari from Nairobi to Masai Mara and Hell's Gate National Park/Lake Naivasha.
On the day of our safari, we were taken to a completely different area of Kenya than what we had booked, even though we had been reassured numerous times we were going as per our given itinerary. When emailing Amos (owner), he replied saying that we didn't book through him and he has no record of our booking. Even though on the exact same email thread he confirms our booking and says how his driver will collect us at 7am (which he did). Amos pretends he has no knowledge of who we paid and booked through and what safari we booked.
