We would recommend Pembury Tours to all and sundry
We read reviews of various tour companies before deciding on Pembury Tours. This was the best decision. Our expectations were high when we made the booking and these expectations were well and truly exceeded. We had so much confidence in our advisor, Laurette McKinnon at Pembury Tours, that we felt Laurette was on the tour with us. The tour went so well that my wife had tears in her eyes when the tour ended.
We sincerely wish Laurette and the team at Pembury Tours all the best and success in the future.

Excellent climbing and safari trip
When we arrived at the airport Edward picked us up and brought us to the wonderful Ilboru Safari Lodge. The next day we met our guide for the climbing of Mount Meru. Everything was perfectly arranged by Magda and Edward. After this trip we visited a number of national parks with a guide who took us everywhere and gave us a lot of information. Both guides were well informed, kind, reliable, taking good care of everything. After these trips we planned to do some other things (Zanzibar). Flash safari's helped us organising this, you can ask them anything, they have a lot of contacts!
Before we arrived in Tanzania the contact with Magda by email was perfect, all our questions were answered very quickly . She is very pro-active!
The trips really met our expectations. The climbing of Mount Meru was difficult but the views are spectacular. The safari's were impressive, far beyond our expectations. Everything was very well organised.
We can really recommend Flash Safari's! Magda, Edward, thanks for the wonderful experience.

Great Safari
We were so lucky to find out Baboon safari here. Mr. Dennis did great job to arrange our trip. Great communication before we arrive Nairobi. Our guide and driver, Mr. Dugan, was really nice and experienced. We saw big 5 and many other animals. Our trip is budgeted, but the camp was not too bad. Wee met lots of friends there. One thing I have to say was that my friend forgot her wallet at the hotel, and they help to find it without any valued missing, and even bring it to our next camp for us. We were really satisfied with their service and enjoyed the trip, will definitely choose them if we come to Africa.

Best trip we have taken. The guide made it unforgettable
I am extremely pleased we booked with Red Africa Safaris. We had a great time and will book with them again in an instant. Our trip included the scenic panoramic route, a trip to Kruger National Park, and a visit to multiple animal rescues. Red Africa Safaris makes sure the companies they work with are ethical and have a focus on wildlife conservation. It was a good feeling to know all of the businesses through this trip were treating their animals well and releasing back into the wild when possible.
What really made our trip special was our guide who joined us from the moment we got off the plane until we departed. He drove us from location to location, told us about the creatures we were seeing, helped us track wildlife we wanted to see, cooked several meals for us, helped us spot animals, taught us a ton about the bush and it's creatures and answered all of our questions. He was extremely knowledgeable regarding any topic we wanted to know more about. We would often to stop so he could explain plant life, local birds, any animal we saw, the history of what we were seeing, geographical features, conservation efforts and even current day Africa. It is fun to look for the big 5, but it was often just as interesting to learn more about the birds or plants. In the end it was like we were traveling with a good friend not just a guide.
The animal rescues were an awesome addition to our trips into the bush. You are given the opportunity to get up close and personal with the animals you saw in the wild. Some of our highlights were walking with lions, getting a kiss from elephants, petting an eagle, and having a monkey ride on our shoulder. It also was great to see some animals that are harder to see in the bush like painted dogs.
Book your holiday with these Red Africa Safaris. They make sure you have a great time and work with a focus on ethical conservation.

Wonderfull experience
From day one Mike was helpfull and set up a 2 days visit to Amboselli and a 3 days visit to Masai Mara for us. I travelled with my wife on a private tour with Ancient. First transportation was quire old. We asked a different car for the second safari and Mike acceded kindly. Our driver found the best spot for watching the animals and gave useful explanations. Mike was allways in touch via whatsapp and responded promptly to our requests. Advisable company to hire.
Surreal amazing experience
My partner and I went on a 3 day Masai Mara Safari for the first time and I must say it was an absolutely out of this world experience, it was surreal. The team at Beacon Safari was very helpful and the communication was straight forward and precise from the beginning with our inquiry until the end of our Safari trip, they where also able to make special arrangements for us and willing to do whatever it took to make our Safari trip very enjoyable and I must say they've achieved this with flying colours, me and my partner have been overwhelmed by the whole experience and the services that Beacon Safari was able to offer us.

Unforgettable Safari
We had the opportunity to meet Armand on our recent trip to Kruger. He was an excellent guide. After three days of no lion sightings with other guides, he found us not one lion sighting but three, and the elusive leopard all in one day.
Not only did he provide an excellent tour full of education about the animals, plants, and region he also is a man of great integrity. There was another safari tour that had gotten a flat on the side of the road. He took the time to help them change the tire. I think this is a great example of his character and professionalism as a guide.
I would highly recommend going on tour with Armand. He was great at engaging us throughout the entire and experience and finding some amazing animal sightings! Thank you for everything Armand!
Oh by the way he is also an amazing photographer.

Very Professional
From the first email until good-byes at the airport, everything about Trevaron Tours was highly professional. Hannah at the office planned an itinerary around our personal interests and then met us upon arrival at the airport (11 PM on a Saturday night). She went with us in the transport to the hotel and made sure all our questions were answered. Next morning, our guide, Simon arrived in a well equipped Land Cruiser. Simon was friendly, capable and knowledgable. If we asked a question that he didn't know the answer to, he wasn't shy to say so - but then he would find out the answer. He drove carefully, was knowledgeable about the animals, birds, plants, geography, climate, history, and current affairs of Kenya. He also speaks 4 languages and was delightful company. The one minor problem that arose during the safari was quickly handled and sorted out. At the end of our 12 days, Hannah met us for a review. I wouldn't hesitate to use Trevaron again, and to recommend them to others.

A trip of a lifetime
This was our first time going on safari and we depended greatly on Natasha at Sun Safari for all of our accommodations, road transfers, tours and small aircraft reservations. The trip exceeded our highest expectations, with every lodge and hotel, tour guide and tracker, being outstanding, professional and of the highest quality. We had not a moment of stress despite having numerous arrangements in a country unknown to us. Natasha handled every detail with professional skill and we can recommend her highly.
