"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

"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

"Just wanted to say a big THANKS to Nature Travel Namibia for organising our brilliant trip to Southern Africa. It was a real treat for us to visit your country and see such wonderful wildlife, countryside and culture. Your knowledge and passion for everything living and the history and current affairs of your country made the trip all the more interesting. Thanks for spending so much time organising a trip specially to suit our needs and timeframe around school holiday dates. We know this took a lot of time and running around for you, but it made the whole holiday just brilliant for us. We had such a great time and wouldn’t change anything about our trip. You would not believe what the kids have taken in. Matt makes it his job to talk everyone through the photos (we have a trimmed version of 200 from over 2000 photos that we took). Isabel has been correcting us on the fine details: “No Mum, the Kori Bustard is the heaviest not the biggest flying bird in the world!”. Can’t believe she took all this in. Not sure that we can give you just one highlight because there were so many. As you know we all loved the whole of the desert experience and Tommy’s living desert tour – fantastic. Etosha was absolutely brilliant – we could never have imagined seeing so many different animals and birds and so many of them in just 2-3 days. Giraffe kill – fantastic. Caprivi, Okavango River, Chobe – all brilliant and great accommodation on the river. Hippo in the campsite at Mahangu – too amazing for words. The kids loved the sand dune activities and the elephant ride. Our last few days on the Zambezi at Chundukwa Lodge were amazing. We were twice surrounded by wild elephants just browsing around the house. We have had so much fun telling everyone about our experience and have already recommended you to many of them for an African holiday sometime soon.
Many thanks again. " - Martin, Debbie, Matt and Isabel Walker, Sydney, Australia
