Extraordinarily Rewarding Safari
Travel services provided by Gazelle / Ubon Safari Limited was exceptional. They cared very much, were very attentive to details and helped in times of need.
Given their support, the safari itself was very rewarding. We had a great driver who was experienced and careful at the same time. We were able to see the beautiful landscape of Ngorongoro and Serengeti, saw plenty of animals, and had many pleasant encounters with the local population. Accommodation was always to our full satisfaction.
I'd wholeheartedly recommend the safari and its organizers.

Ivory Route - fantastic
We have just returned from the 2-week Botswana & Zimbabwe Ivory Route, which exceeded our already high expectations (we have traveled several times with Sunways). The route was well chosen and the activities as well. The accommodations were all good, Hyena Pan was again fantastic with the many animals at the waterhole. The travel times were long but absolutely in order. Our highlights were:
- Matobos National Park, where we were only a few meters away from the rhinoceros (mummy, dad and baby)
- Moremi Game Reserve, where we have seen a young leopard have torn a little impala
- Shakawe - Okavango Delta, where we spent a night on a houseboat
- Maun - the flight with the open helicopter over the Okavango Delta (at his own expense)
- Chobe National Park, where we have seen a lot of elephants and of course a leopard with its two babies.
We will never forget this trip - our honeymoon.
Many thanks to Sunway Safaris and our two guides Chris Zvidzayi and Chris Zulu who have made this possible.
All in all, we can only recommend Sunways and already plan another safari with Sunways next year.
A truely fantastic trip - we will be back for more!
The team at Timbuktu thought of everything and more. The trip itself was excellent and the advice and recommendation given was spot on - Accommodation, quality of safari and general level service excellent. All in all we felt it was good value for money and we are now planning our next trip in 2018!

An agent you can trust in organising your trips in Africa
We engaged Matthew’s company twice for our trips in Africa. The first time he put up a wonderful trip for us in only 3 days (Zimbabwe, Botswana and Zambia); and this time across Uganda and gorilla watching in Rwanda. We had plenty of time for planning and Matthew had not failed his services – all our numerous emails in the last 12 months were responded in prompt and polite manner; and all our requests were fulfilled for our tailored tour. All his recommendations for hotel/accommodations are the best in the region; and his staff/guides/partners are top notch. This time he even travelled from Kenya to Entebbe to greet us in the airport upon our arrival. A very reliable agent for satisfying trips in Africa. Thank you.

A really great way to see a beautiful country and we have had a wonderful holiday.
Nature Travel made it simple from the outset to arrange our trip to Namibia . They structured everything around what we were hoping to see in the time available. Communication was excellent and Esmari went out of her way to find accommodation that fitted our itinerary and we were very happy with her choices, some of which were amazing. Our guide, Lucky, was fantastic, knowledgeable and flexible to our needs and everything from a logistics point of view was taken care of efficiently. It has all added up to a fantastic holiday and I would recommend Nature Travel to anyone wanting to see Namibia either for the first time, or as a return visitor as I am- it has been a memorable experience.

South Africa and a Safari at Madikwe National Reserve is a must on your bucket list
Madikwe was fabulous. The 260 square mile preserve is large enough to be home to all of the animals and birds you want to see on a safari (and many you have never heard about) but is not crowded with tourists and allowed a really intimate viewing of the wildlife. We stayed 2 nights each at two wonderful small lodges at different sides of the park and really feel we got to see different aspects of the area. For others who had been to safaris elsewhere we heard that off road viewing permitted here is not allowed elsewhere and therefore we were able to see more wildlife up close.

A great Safari
The easy way to describe our safari was that it exceeded our expectations in every way:
- the safari was very well organized, obviously they have been doing this for a while
-the accommodation was very good, better than we expected, and part of the overall adventure
-we were lucky to take the Transkalahari from South to North. I think the reverse would have been less fun
-the truck that took us from Cape Town to Victoria falls was the right vehicle for the task at hand. It was a bit rough on occasion, but a less rugged vehicle would have been damaged by the rough roads
-the food provided (or the recommendations, when food not provided) exceeded our expectations always
-with these kind of surveys, one is often requested to evaluate something or other on a scale of one to ten. I will almost never give a ten rating, as most people or facilities have room for improvement. In this case, I am happy to give Misheck the guide a solid ten. Everything he did was in the excellent category

9 days including 2 days gorillas / 2 days chimp
wonderful experience ! came alone in Uganada for 9 days. During the negotiation time, i was in touch with Hajarah who was really reactive, replying to my email right away. Finally agreed on the trip/price, I arrived at 315 am, Tom, my guide was there, and drove straight to the chimp area (around 7 hours drive). he has been really flexible, the lodge/food were good, and i got an amazing time in Uganda. i recommend them with no hesitation.

great kili climb and safari trip
Simon was very professional and helped organise our trip. He was always very responsive and supported us with booking all the different parts of our trip. He booked the Kili Climb with Zara Tours who were excellent! Abely, Emmanuel and their team from Zara Tours were brilliant, we were treated like royalty and they got us to the top of Kilimanjaro - we could never have done it without them! Highly recommend.
Our safari included 3 parks - Taragine, Serengeti and Ngororo - all fantastic and managed to see all of the big five! Our guide Goodluck was excellent - so knowledgeable and really passionate about making sure we saw all the animals - all excellent.
Simon was a great communicator - and even though we didn't meet he planned an exceptionally great trip for us!
