photographic safaris
Emanuele Biggi - Italy http://www.anura.it/ on Facebook:
There are guides and Guides... this one in these images is one the great ones! Passionate about nature, photography and its own work, always ready and on time, really present when needed and "shadow-like" when the situation requests it, smart enough to understand people's moods, comfortable with both nature-maniacs (like me) and soft nature likers. If you'll ever go to Africa for a guided tour, this is the man: Phillip Conradie

I work as biologist and photographer and I have been to South Africa and Namibia with Phillip a number of times. He offers a very good service for a reasonable price, but most of all, he's very knowledgeable and enthusiastic! He finds the species I want to see: plants, animals, even unusual bugs. He is my first choice for all my trips in this part of Africa.

Been thinking a lot - and came to the conclusion that for a variety of reasons our trips with you - out of all the ones we do all over the world - really are the most suitable, most enjoyable and most productive of all. You got yourself two faithful customers (and two good friends, but that you knew already).

We can be proud of our trip. Our guests can’t stop talking about it and when I see other photographers they congratulate us on the great results the group has. Even Billy sent me a text in the middle of the night, congratulating us with the great results. It’s a great feeling! Namibia was a success, again…thank you for that! I really, really look forward to April.
Kind regards,
Jeffrey

True African Experience

I completed this "out of this world" 12 day Safari trip to Namibia with a formidable guide named Phillip Conradie. He came highly recommended from a friend that had done the same trip earlier on. Well, he didn't disappoint! It felt like I was on a National Geographic or Discovery Travel trip. Phillip's in-depth knowledge on the animal and bird life is something that you can only dream of and I mention this because I have been on a couple of safari's before where I actually knew more than my guide. There was so much that I wanted to see on this trip and from the first day it became obvious that my dreams were going to become reality. The right balance of a true safari experience in this rugged environment was just magnificent. By day 5 Phillip found us - a rare experience - the much talked about, desert adapted elephants that were trekking through the mountains. I cannot explain what it felt like to see this herd, with babies, on the way to find water. The bird watching, if you are into that, will not disappoint. Once again, the experience that Phillip has will excite event the most experienced of nature lovers, photographers and bird watchers out there. He took his time and stopped so that we could all get the photo's that we will carry with us for the rest of our lives. Whatever we asked of Phillip, he produced. And more. The accommodation that Phillip organised throughout our entire trip was a true reflection of Africa and the little luxuries it has to offer. He had a personal relationship with the lodge owners which made our stay even more memorable. All I can say is, that if you haven't done this tour yet, you should add this to your bucket list!
Sue - USA Phillip, Thanks for everything, especially the early mornings tea when it wasn’t provided!

I am finally at home in France, and unfortunately back to the "real" life. At the airport in Windhoek I had not the time to thank you enough for the great adventure that the two weeks spent in Namibia have been. Everything has been organized perfectly and we all had a fantastic experience. I really enjoyed talking to you and having all the information about the places we visited, the animals we spotted, and their behaviour. And I am happy to say that, not only I met a great guide, but also a great person.

I’m exceedingly happy and we really have some wonderful memories about our trip together - can’t wait to do it again! big hugs

Hello Phillip, I am still going through my pictures, I have still to go through those of the last three days of our trip. Although the pictures may not be of professional quality, I am very satisfied with the results so far: Definitively the best photographic tour of my life! And, the more I show the pictures to my friends, the more people are asking me for your contact information!! You may have some French customer for next season!!
Thanks again.

Living desert experience
Between May and June i've again travelled with Philip Conradie. My score about this trip, the living desert experience, it's very high, every day we travelled between landscapes so wonderful..a paradise for landscapes photographers also a great experience with wildlife of the Namib and the big mammals of Africa. Five star experience.

Looking forward for new travels with Phillip Conradie
The safari was tailor made and we had a tour of Namibia for 10 days visiting the most impressive places of the country. We will never forget the "Living Desert Experience" and the Etosha Park, but, most of all, we will never forget of Phillip. Sitting at dinner listening to his fantastic experiences was amazing and we are really looking forward to come back and have new trip with him in the future. Moreover, we had to store medicine during the trip and Phillip arranged everything perfectly, there were no "bad" surprises at all.
Thanks again.

A journey to discover the nature of the desert
Overall rating 5/5
I am a zoologist, passionate about photography. The tour in Namibia (June 2014) with Philip was beautiful and charming. Philip, with his professionalism and his enthusiasm, there has involved and made us know places and situations of greatest interest and spectacular. I am therefore very pleased with this trip, which I highly recommend to all.

I'm very satisfied with African Wildlife Photo Safaris / Africa Windows Safaris & Tours service. Our guide, Philip Conradie, is a machine, capable of driving 400 km a day and still giving you prompt information requested or not. I appreciated very much also the "Savoir-faire" with local managers, guides and drivers on our behalf.
