"Caprivi Birding Safari testimonial
I organised a short birding trip in the Caprivi Strip of Namibia with Nature Travel Namibia. I arrived with quite a wish list and when we saw Collared Palm-thrush within an hour of getting off the plane at Kasane I knew we were in for quite a trip.
Specials included African Skimmer, Purple-banded Sunbird, Black-faced and Hartlaub's Babblers, Tropical and Swamp Boubou, Rufous-bellied Heron, Slaty Egret, Western Banded Snake-eagle, Rock Pratincole, Long-toed Lapwing, Lesser Jacana, Wattled Crane, African Wood-owl, Schalow's Turaco, Coppery-tailed, White-browed and Senegal Coucal and Bradfield's Hornbill.
Besides the birds there were memorable experiences such as swimming in the Kwando, watching a thunderstorm across the Kavango river, tiger-fishing in the Zambezi and vast herds of elephant, sable, and buffalo.
My only complaint about the trip was that there was far too little time to get to everything the Caprivi Strip has to offer. With future trips to the region I will leave the planning in the capable hands of Nature Travel Namibia. " - De Wet Barnard, Pretoria, South Africa

"When I decided to plan a two weeks travel to Namibia at the end of April I approached 3 local travel agencies. Nick Buys was the first to reply me and offered some options to arrange quickly a Western Namibia Safari for me and my husband. We decided for a guided tour as it was our first travel in Africa, and we're sure we did a good choice. Nick was so kind in answering to all our questions ,suggesting us places to visit and, at least, planning the trip. Our guide, Kit, was much more than a guide. So kind in teaching us a lot of things about nature, wildlife and history of the Country, and so able to carry us in the best spots during the game drives. After a couple of days it was like to travel with a good friend and we had a lot of fun together. The travel was fantastic, everything was OK, relaxing and interesting. All the places that we visited were so nice and different, with wonderful landscapes from deserts to sandy beaches. Everyday there was something different to see, the lodges were nice and located in gorgeous sites. It’s impossible to say what we liked more …. the deserts, Dead Veil, Swakopmund, 2 nights on the banks of the Kunene River, Etosha, the games, the sundowns…. The only thing we are sure is that we want to come back soon to Namibia to see the Caprivi, arranging the next trip with Nature Travel Namibia again. " - Barbara e Paolo - Italy

"On 8th of March 2014 we took a trip fully organised and managed by Nature Travel Namibia. Our trip departed from Windhoek through the Etosha-Park – crossing it all the way from west to east – into the Caprivi-strip to Botswana (Chobe-Park) and ending in Zambia at the Victoria Falls. Even so it was supposed to be the rainy season, we experienced only two times a thunderstorm – and what an experience this was, too. The temperature was always perfect, the plants and trees were in blossom, the grass high. We spotted a number of beautiful birds – thank you, Nick -, and all kinds of mammals, including lions, rhinos, buffaloes, elephants, and so many other creatures great and small. In addition, the lodges Nick selected for us were all real beauties and at most of them we were just the three of us, so that we could enjoy the sounds of the night, too.

Nick Buys, our guide and also highly specialized in bird watching, really took care of everything up to the smallest detail: we were pampered. Right from the first email contacts we got a good feeling of Nature Travel Namibia and the people working there.

Whenever you plan to visit Namibia, we can highly recommend the services of Nature Travel Namibia and the admirable knowledge on nature and wildlife which our friend Nick Buys has. We travelled already quite a lot before, but never had we felt as good as we did with Nick Buys and Nature Travel Namibia. " - Martine de Bruyn, Belgium and Leoni Barth, Germany
