Trip of a lifetime
We did a 3 week tour from Victoria Falls to Botswana then Namibia with Thinus as our wonderful guide.
it was an amazing trip. Chobe in Botswana was fantastic for wildlife, especially elephants. Moremi game reserve in the Okavango was beautiful for bird life and a resident hippo at our lodge was a bit of a thrill!
Namibia was beautiful also. Damaraland was spectacular and unexpected! Soussovlei was incredible too. Was great to incorporate beautiful landscapes into the trip instead of just focusing on game viewing
In terms of travel, accommodation and food the trip exceeded our expectations. The lodges (3-5star) were fantastic- interesting locations and unique styles.
Everything went perfectly smoothly thanks to the superb organization and attention to detail of our guide Thinus. Thinus was more than a “guide” - he was a born and bred Namibian with an interesting history and unique perspective and knowledge of the country.
We highly recommend Crisscross!!

Review about Skeleton Coast National Park by Bliss
The ocean is harsh and beautiful here—watch out for fog!
The cape seal colony is an incredible sight!

Review about Namib-Naukluft National Park by Bliss
The desert scenery is stark and beautiful—very few critters to be seen due to conditions, but some interesting lizards and beetles made an appearance.

Review about Etosha National Park by Bliss
The watering holes were active, we saw so many creatures engaged in their daily activities.

Magnificent wildlife and easy traveling
I can’t say enough good things about this country. Okonjima and Africats, Etosha, Palmwag, and the Namib desert were all beautiful. Our self drive tour felt safe and flexible. I will say that our trip might have been better done over three weeks than two due to the distances. Vegetarians well accommodated, vegans advised to bring protein snacks and shop for beans in the town supermarkets, as even the higher end camps and lodges were baffled (but they sure tried to help!).

Fantastic wildlifre experience
The wildlife was absolutely fantastic. You can enjoy and discover how is real wildlife. The guide and the transportation was very good, very kind and did everything on their hands to get our best. The accommodations were not good, basic, but enough to stay in route.

Stunning wildlife, landscpae, people and food. Kenya is the place to go.
We did Nairobi - Aberdare NP - Nakuru NP - Naivasha - Masai Mara for 6 Days / 5 Nights private tour.. Was lucky enough to Spot the Big 5.
The tour was arranged by nativeafricatrails.com. Mwangai was very cooperative and informative. He arranged a flawless tour for us. The vehicle and driver guide - Michal was very knowledgable and cooperative too. Highly recommend them if you panning Kenya safari.

Outstanding service and organisation for Botwsana and Malawi trips with African Ubuntu Safaris
My wife and I were part of a photographic safari to Botswana and then travelled on alone to Malawi. Throughout, Cuan McLaren from African Ubuntu Safaris provided excellent service and the travel logistics went without a hitch. We had a wonderful safari: the game sightings were superb, and we stayed in and stylish and comfortable camps. Alistair MacDougall of Photo Organic provided excellent photographic assistance to the photographers in the group. All arrangements for Malawi were excellent. Highly recommended!

A fabulous experience!
We had a fabulous safari experience with Mama Savana! Alex was reliable, communicative, prompt, and professional, which made organizing the safari easy and stress-free! Our guide Joseph was really great--very polite, a careful and skilled driver, and a knowledgeable wildlife enthusiast!
Based on our initial research we found that Mama Savana offered better value for money than other operators. We highly recommend them!
