5.0/5Safari Went as Planned in Zambia
After having a very disorganized experience in Tanzania via another tour operator, we were happy that our accommodation/reservations looked as pictured and were on the dates we had asked for. The guide and wait staff were great. My food request for not eating fish was upheld and luckily there was only one snack that had mayonnaise, so I could eat almost all the food. The view of the Luangwa River at Thornicroft was amazing. We saw leopards, lions, and several other types of wildlife.

Pleasure to work with
Thank you Ntanda Ventures. Especially Sonja, who planned our Zambia itinerary so perfectly. She completely understood our requirements and we had one of the most memorable trips. From the very start, she was extremely prompt, accommodating, and ready to sort out any queries related to the bookings. She was easily accessible on call even during the trip. Needless to say, Ntanda and Sonja are now our go-to people for future travels.

Fantastically planned with an eye on details
Sonja from Ntanda was a pleasure to work with. She understood our budget and what we wanted and planned our travel, safari camps, transport, everything so beautifully. The detailed itinerary was so well laid out. And she was available to us at all times and even during our travel to answer any concerns. We had a delightful experience in Zambia and would highly recommend them for travels in that region. With our love for Africa, we will definitely work with Sonja again.

Tailored excellence
Ntanda Ventures were a delight to work with every step of the way. With a large group and complex itinerary, Sonja was in complete control of our booking at all times. With her expertise and good connections, she provided fantastic advice about lodging and transport and made bookings at very favourable rates. Also, when we were travelling Sonja and Kerry were always available to help sort out any hiccup that arose along the way (and when travelling in Zambia, hiccups arise). I cannot recommend Ntanda Ventures enough.
