SHADRECK NCUBE

I’m Zimbabwean (Zimbo) through and through and my passion is travel.  I grew up in Victoria Falls not only one of Africa’s most popular tourist destinations and with one of the natural wonders of the world (The smoke that thunders) on my doorstep.  It is no surprise that I ended up guiding! I studied in Zimbabwe and when I completed my guiding course I started guiding locally.  5 years into guiding I felt I needed to expand my horizons and came to Sunway Safaris. My office is without a doubt the best in the world and nothing makes me happier than sharing my office, my passion for travel, nature and the environment.  When you are with travelers you can share your ideas, thoughts and dreams and be part of making their dreams come true. Guiding is a very rewarding experience.

CAPE TO VIC EXPLORER: "

Dear Sunway Safaris. I would like to thank you for the most amazing tour from Cape Town to Victoria Falls. Your guides Shadreck and Innocent where truely professional and very good cooks. I have the following feedback from the tour.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
There were SO many highlights. Possibly the most memorable part was our 2 night stay in the Okavango Delta. A short but amazing helicopter flight over the delta (optional, at extra cost) gave us the perfect overview before our mekoro (poled canoe) journey to the island, where the so-called basic facilities proved quite reasonable. No squatting, but a loo with a view and a shower with water heated over the fire! We had 2 pleasant walks with good wildlife viewing, a beautiful sunset mekoro trip, and the company of a hippo munching its way through the night on the grass by the adjacent pool. It was in the pool in the morning, before we left, but climbed out before we needed to travel past it.
Travelling by mekoro must be the most peaceful and relaxing way to travel!

2. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes. We ate in local restaurants, shopped locally and directly paid the people poling the mekoros.

3. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Absolutely wonderful. The only changes I would make to the holiday would be for the company to provide drinking water (to obviate the need for lots of disposable plastic bottles) and for there to be airplane style overhead lockable storage in the vehicle so clients would not needs to carry their backpacks around when otherwise they were not needed.

NAMIBIA BOTSWANA DESERT & DELTA: "The two-week safari from Livingstone to Namibia was awesome. After the first week, all our expectations had been met already. We had seen the "Big 5" and were accompanied by the possibly best two guides we could have wished for. They [Shadreck and Iton] were very knowledgeable, funny, caring, supportive, warm-hearted, inspiring and cared about every possible detail to make our trip enjoyable. We can highly recommend Sunway Safaris." Neno Loje, Germany
