We looked for the best and came up with Pembury , they surpassed all expectations
When we looked for the best tour operators in Africa we came up with Pembury and in many of the reviews Tammy Harding was named. We are lucky to work with Tammy in planning our trip. Never have I ever come across someone so passionate and caring about what they do. Tammy was incredibly responsive to all my questions, and there were lots, she changed things whenever I had doubts and came up with what we thought was perfect. We travelled to Botswana, Vic Falls, Sabi Sands, Cape Town, Rovos rail and Johannesburg. From the minute we arrived at the airport to the moment we said goodbye it truly was exceptional. We were met at every stage by the most wonderful people to help us on our journey, every camp, hotel was out of this world and the food and hospitality second to none. We travelled with my elderly mother and it was her first trip to Africa. We all loved it so much that half way though our holiday we decided we wanted to go back and indeed called Tammy to start the plans for 2020. we have just now confirmed next years trip for 6 of us and I can't tell you how much we are looking forward to it because Tammy has truly gone above and beyond to help us achieve something magical. I had many ideas of what i wanted next year and we worked through every option, every country suggested, every flight connection to make sure we did not spend log times travelling. It was never too much effort.
So what I can say is if you want the best, go to the best and if you want perfection ask for Tammy

Outstanding!
From the 1st time we contacted Tekko Tours to our 12 day safari we have nothing but praise for them. Our contact in the office was Carol who was so efficient and patient in dealing with us. We changed our mind so many times and she was always back to us with new details and ideas without delay. She was a pleasure to deal with. Our guide for the 12 days was Jackson, a smiling, kind gentleman who couldn't do enough for us and is so knowledgeable on all the animals, birds, his country - he made our trip so memorable and we couldn't score him high enough. We would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Tekko and in particular our wonderful guide Jackson. We hope to return again and would without hesitation would travel with Tekko Tours and Jackson. Thank you so much.

Unforgettable experience!
Highly and trully reccomend Kilismile to everyone who looking for a real, unforgettable mountain experience with a pinch of Tanzanian humour and music. We've got much more than we'd ever expected. Kilimanjaro with Kilismile was not only a trekking to the top of Africa. It was one in a lifetime experience, wich will stay in our memories forever! Beautiful views, amazing nature, the most spectacular sky at night, sunrises and sunsets. All of these were fantastic, but it wouldn't be the same without the amazing Tanzanian team from Kilismile. They've done their job perfectly with the beautiful, honest smile all the time! They helped us a lot, I've got no words how grateful I'm! They took care of us for six days, but they've done much more than be just guides, porters, cooks or waiters. They've done it in a such way that we felt they were a part of our group. Not as they were at work. They spend hours on talking with us, laughing and singing together. Were always kind and ready to help. Proffesionals with a huge knowledge and skills. But primarily - great people with fantastic sense of humour, massive respect to others and huge joy of life. Massive thank you to every member of our team - Oscar, Selestini, Godwin, Winston, Fred, Evans, Ramadan, Salim and others - you're great people, I'm glad I could met you! You've been strangers, became great friends :)

great safari in Tanzania Southern parks
we enjoyed 5 days safari with family in Selous, Mikumi and Ruaha. The organisation was just perfect, the guide Miriam very nice and the driver an expert despite the roads! they took very good care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. Only downside if I may was the car which already went through many safaris and was a litle old... thanks to the great driver we never felt in danger though!
Margaret who booked all the accomodation for us always made sure everything was going well and that was very much appreciated as we could add a visit in Zanazibar at the last minute!

Memorable 10 day safari & beach excursion!
We had a positive experience with Eyes on Africa and would recommend them as a great company to book your private East African adventures with. Agnes was extremely patient, attentive, and responsive during the process of building our itinerary. She listened to feedback and adjusted accordingly to ensure that our experience was shaped to our satisfaction (and within our price range). Our guide in Kenya (George) was spectacular and I highly recommend requesting him. Our guide in Tanzania (Mohamed) was not as great (but, adequate) and we would not recommend him. We were able to spot all of the big five animals everyday (rhinos only at the Crater, though) and noted around 30 different animals overall. We enjoyed learning and speaking Swahili with the friendly staff throughout our stay. Overall we felt that the variety of our accommodations and sites were very good. There were only a couple negative accommodation issues. We felt safe, well taken care of, prepared, and with everything being handled by Eyes on Africa we enjoyed every minute instead of worrying about travel logistics!

Everything went very smoothly with excellent recommendations.
Very good contact with our agent and good travel details. Wonderful lodges and great personal animal experiences shared just between us and our guide. Our desert island experience on Fanjove was a perfect choice and we loved everything about it. All in all a perfect holiday experience with excellent hosts and guides.

We had a fantastic 5 days safari booked with Lion King Adventures and everything worked out perfect!
Booking with Lion King Adventures went very smothly and they lived up to our expectations al the way. All the accommodations also lived up to their standards, very clean, good food and friendly.
My favorite was Serengeti and the Heritage tent camp, with it's view.
Our safari guide Gilbert did his very best to get close and did not give up before we had spoted all the animals to see : ) Gilbert made us also feel safe during the way.

An extremely exciting, enjoyable vacation we will be talking about for years to come!
Rahab was very communicative and helpful during the planning stages of this vacation, and once all of the details were settled, she continued to answer any questions or concerns, and reached out as our travel dates neared. During the safari week, she would check in and make sure everything was going well, that we were happy with our accommodations, our driver, the schedule, etc. We were able to relax and enjoy this trip to the maximum because every detail was taken care of from the time we stepped off the airplane in Nairobi! Rahab, our driver, John, the accommodations, staff and experiences in Maasai Mara and Nakuru exceeded our expectations! Rahab ensured our vacation was absolutely magical! I can’t wait to go back to Kenya and I will definitely be using Rahab and her group to plan our return trip!

Top quality customer service with great experiences
Simon and his team did a superb job of making me feel welcome and taking care of my needs and queries. My 5 day trip was well organised and each activity delivered what was described. Chobe National Park is stunning and gentle cruises on the Zambezi and Chobe rivers were super relaxing despite the crocs and hippos!
African Beast arranged a croc cage dive for me which was amazing and gave me lots of useful advice and help including printing visas for me for later in my trip.
Great guys who I would highly recommend!
