Great 4 days group tour!!
This was our 2nd safari with Crown Eagle Adv. Mr Salehe is very excellent tour organizer, very helpful and informative about our plans. He also gave us pretty cool suggestions in order to get the best from our safari. Everything was perfect, we also got tee chance to see all the Big 5 and a pride of lions eating peacefully in the Seronera area. It was superb, really.
We're planning to come back in December and, with NO doubt, we will travel again with Crown Eagle Adv. I will surely recommend this company to anyone willing to visit magnificent and breathtaking TANZANIA. ASANTE SANA

Very enhoyable and met our expectations.
Southern African Tours were able to design a tour of South Africa and Victoria Falls to meet our desired destinations. Communication was straight forward and our questions were always answered. Craig and/or Shelaigh always attended to any issues during the planning stage. Our safari experience in Kruger National Park was very well organised by Outlook tours. The staff of Outlook Safaris in PretoriusKop Rest Camp, Kruger National Park were A+ in all areas and our activities were outstanding.Wild Horizons organised a wonderful itinerary in Victoria Falls the visit to Chobe National Park was excellent.
Our favourite places in and around Cape Town were Cape of Good Hope, the Peninsula, the seal colony, penguin colony at Boulders, the vineyards and Kirstenbosch gardens. Gerry our tour guide in Cape Town was a wealth of information and a true gentleman.

Skilled staff..highly recommend!
I had an amazing 3-day Maasai Mara safari tour with Okoa Africa Tours.
Mark is very quick in response and has a great personality. We joined the tour from Narok but kindly instructed us on which bus to take to Narok and sent us a plan of the tour with detailed explanation of the animals found.
Also the driver, Kennedy, is highly experienced professional and entertaining. He knows the best time and place to watch sunrise and sunset, which are also the highlights of the tour beside animals.
Skilled staff and amazing tour...I would highly recommend!

perfect accompaniment and organisation for a tanzania journey
We visited Tanzania in order to learn more about the country, the people, their situation in education and health and about the national parks and the animals. Due to friends in tanzania we had contact points in Dar Es Salaam and in Mtwara. Beside these contacts we need a support for all the other activities. Goba Tours organized to our group of 7 members
- sightseeing in Dar Es Salaam with a private guide. we saw the market, the fishmarket, we went with the public buses, we had a look to the poorer and the better places of the city and vistes a local an historic museum
- Safari in Mbega Camp - we used the bus from Mtwara to the Station Kibiti - and threre the service of Martin Mgoba started. The picked us there and transferred us to the camp. The camp was built with better tents incl. a bathroom. The service was full board and it was cooked fresh for us. The camp is situated beside the Selous -Park. From the camp we started the safari-tour. Martin Mgoba was the guide and Samwuel was the driver. This team supervised us in a excellent way. We saw all the animals there. Lions, Crocodiles, Hippos, Antelopes, Zebras, ...............
Our guides gave answers to all of our questions. We felt us very save and happy. Very positive is that the camp is small and the park isn't run over.
- After the impressing days in Selous Goba Tours organized the next trip back to Dar es Salaam, there a hotel, the ferry to Zanzibar and in Zanzibar the shuttle to the hotel.
Martin Mgoba and his team are competent, reliable, extreme friendly and very helpful. When we will go to back to Tanzania, we will book Goba Tours again.

I took part in two days safari tour to Tarangire and Ngorongoro, it was just great. Our driver stop the best position to see animals so that it is easy to take photos. I saw fighting buffaloes against lions.
I had nice memories which I won’t forget forever, thank you Philip!

Cheated by the Company
I made a Safari Booking on July 3rd, 2019 with Kenya Walking Survivor Safari for our safari to happen in December 2019. We paid the full amount of $4936 USD to Kenya Walking Survivor Safari on the 3rd of July 2019 via online credit card payment.
On the 9th of August, we received an email from Kenya Walking Survivor Safari informing us that they have a technical difficulty and will not be able to provide us the tour, and that they will refund us our payment in 90-120 working days. But since August 9th, they have not replied my emails or phone calls. Website is down as well.
I checked out Tripasdvisor and Safari Bookings and found customers who are in similar situation as me.
For me, I am trying to hopefully be able to claim some insurance as I do not feel confident Kenya Walking Survivor Safari will pay me back. Does any one have any updates? Please help!

The promised itinerary was not delivered - adding hundreds of dollars to our cost
The guide/driver was very good – he deserves a rating of 5. But the company is not to be trusted - I would give it a zero but am giving a 3 overall because of the guide. Without notice, the company dropped a visit to a national park from our safari – which was listed as included in our final itinerary. At great expense to ourselves, we did visit the park - paying the park entry fees and the guide’s services – rather than spend the day stuck in the hotel, which was the only alternative. The company admitted it had made a mistake in our itinerary but refused to take responsibility for it. They had our money, they no longer cared. The cost of such a safari is already high enough – and we were then left out of pocket an extra several hundred dollars. I would NOT recommend booking with this company.

Perfection
If you are planning a trip to Africa, please don't hesitate to book with Tammy at Pembury Tours, South Africa. My husband and I normally plan all our trips online, but hesitated with Africa. I tried a couple of Tour groups in Australia, but found response too slow and uninformative. I decided to try Tammy and I am so glad I did! She responded to my emails with information required immediately.We wanted 5 Star all the way and Tammy helped make it happen. All transfers were on time and NOTHING went wrong for the entire trip. We traveled to Cape Town, Franschhoek, Sabi Sands,on Rovos Rail from Pretoria to Victoria Falls, and then a couple of nights on Chobe River (Zambezi Queen) We would love to return, but if not,we will have very special memories of Africa, and part of that is thanks to Tammy at Pembury Tours.!

Review about Thornybush Game Reserve by Haven H.
Thornybush has a rich array of wildlife and an apparently healthy ecosystem to support it.
Our camp was fully solar powered, small and intimate, which added to our enjoyment.

Perfect Thornybush Safari
Our safari to Thornybush Game Reserve preceded a three week trip to Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana. We saw the most wildlife during our time in South Africa. The people were generally welcoming and enthusiastic.
We did arrange a 4 hour trip to Soweto from our hotel at OR Tambo Airport. This was most instructive. Our visit to the Hector Pieterson Museum was as inspiring as the one to the Nelson Mandela Museum.
