Dear Johan .... I regaled my wife and Will with stories about our terrific adventure together. Will was so jealous about our sighting of the Big Five, and he couldn't believe we'd seen Cheetah - especially for our first cat. Thanks also setting up the culture tour with Bart, which we enjoyed immensely.... Many thanks my friend for showing us such a wonderful time and for, again, sharing your fabulous country with us!
Bill and Caroline Satterfield, USA
What a fantastic trip! We have travelled to many countries, birded in many areas and have worked with many guides over the last ten years. By comparison to the above trips, our SafariWise Namibian experience far outshines the rest. Why? Well firstly the breathtaking landscapes, then the amazing bird life and then the mammals. However, what really made the trip was the company of our guide, Charles. As a guide, Charles has all the qualities that anyone can ask for. His knowledge of the birds and mammals was superb. Add to that his knowledge of the plant life, insects, reptiles and eco-systems of Namibia and you have a "complete package"!

But knowledge isn't everything ..... a guide must be patient, concerned for his clients and have an awareness of when it is time to rest ....... again Charles surpassed all expectations. As a professional guide myself, his overall skill is what I aspire to.

Well done also to Neil for organising such a superb itinerary ....... great lodges, food and some good wine as well. He took in our requirements in full and met them all. The professionalism of SafariWise was superb and I would recommend SafariWise to anyone!

SafariWise sets the standard for personalised eco holidays!"

Thank you Neil! This great trip in your beautiful country will live forever in our memories and picture albums! The pre-planning and the execution were so well done ...

Dear Johan, Thank you for all the hard work and effort put into our trip. You did an outstanding job of helping us to see and learn about a great number of mammals and birds plus habitats and ecology of South Africa. I have learned so much and look forward to incorporating the information into a course to share Africa with students.

Dear Johan, just a short message to thank both Eugene and yourself for a magnificent trip. I meant all I said about your country. It is beautiful, and hope to return soon.

To Neil and Charles: Although far too short(!!!!), it was probably the best trip we've ever had.

We would have truly missed a singular opportunity to see big game and entirely different geography and habitats had it not been for your excellent advice, planning and expert guiding service.
