Thank you, CrissCross
It was an unbelievable two-week journey. Accommodation, food and service were at a very high level. The tour operator's organization was perfect. I hope to return to this part of the world again and use their services.

Namibia + Cape Town in November 2018
Anya Visser, of Pembury Tours, organized our trip to Namibia and to Cape Town, which was our first visit to Southern Africa. The result is that our trip was absolutely flawless and a full success.
We stayed in three different lodges in Namibia, moved from one to the other by private plane and were met in Cape Town and in Windhoek.
Every element of our trip was professionnally planned and executed, on time and most courteously by every provider chosen by Anya.
Moreover, Anya always responded immediately and positively to my numerous requests for information or for slight modifications of our initial program.
I therefore cannot underline enough Anya's professionalism and kindness, as well as her permanent availability of which I availed myself on several occasions.
I have already forwarded Anya's contact details to friends who requested them from me and I can only recommend Anya to anyone wishing to fulfil their dream of visiting Namibia and the Cape Town area, as was my case, in the best possible conditions.

Fantastic Gorilla Trek in Bwindi
We had a wonderful experience with Encounter Africa Safaris. They were very prompt in their communications before the trip and then on the trip everything was as described. Our guide/driver Abdul was very informative and friendly and the whole trip from pick up, border crossings, lodgings, gorilla trek, and transportation back to the airport went smoothly. It was a fantastic trip and I would absolutely recommend EAS to others in the future!

Amazing safari
My first time in a safari. The trip was well organized, from the landing in Tanzania to the end. Humprey is a very great organizer and took into account all the aspects of the safari. Furthermore he's always available for all needs of tourists. During the safari, I saw all the animals in the parks, thanks to the experience and the instinct of Lazzaro, the driver. Also I ate very good food from the great chef Dula and slept in the tents in a very wild experience. The hotel before and after the safari was very clean and comfortable. What can I say more? Perfect

Best local safari experience
We were recommended by a friend to bimos travel. From the first email, quote, answering questions, booking and reservations..all was excellent. All the five of us were happy with the safari in mara for 3 days. Allan the driver guide was so informative. We are planning another trip with a bigger group in 2019. We highly recommend this team....

The animals are incomparably great. The tour experience was definitely budget.
The animals were fantastic. Which is good because that's really why we go, right? The tour was a bit rough around the edges. The car seats were at an awkward height so looking out the window was difficult. Our group was a mix-match of people from multiple operators, which meant that the vehicle was contracted and not owned/maintained by the operator. Our rear bumper guard fell off during the trip, which put our radio out of commission for an hour or so. All these are small things, but these little things add up. Luckily for us, the Masai Mara operation as a whole functions well enough to deliver a fairly consistent viewing experience, but it has little to do with the operator itself. Definitely will save up for a higher tier service next time. Like many things, you get what you pay for. I'm satisfied with what I got.

Fair treatment, good service, friendly and sincere people, perfect organized, wonderful experiences
We had a 11-day individual safari tour through several national parks on the way to Lake Victoria. We found the tour operator through our hotel the Arusha Tourist Inn where we spent the first days after our arrival in Arusha. They planned for us an individual tour according to our interests for a really fair price. Our driver and tour guide was professional and very experienced, which meant that we saw significantly more than other groups we met in the camp sites. Among a lot of other animals, we saw all of the Big Five including the rhino and even a leopard hunting an antelope, which is very rare to see.
Our chef was a very nice, happy and funny guy. He knew to throw together delicious meals and adapted to our needs. Especially the dinners were very tasty and varied.
The accommodation at the Arusha Tourist Inn was great as well. Despite the low price the service was excellent. All the staff were very friendly to us.
At the end we were very satisfied and got more than expected. Everyone from the team was fair, took care of us and we felt very safe.

They took great care of us and extremely knowledgeable about animals and where to find them!
I have traveled with Vuriva Safaris over 15 times in past years. I have tried other companies, but Vuriva is the very best. I can trust them completely to take excellent care of me before, during and after safari. They really care about getting you to see animals as well as wonderful accommodations and transportation.

Helpful and Professional
Diana was very helpful in setting up my Gorilla Tracking excursion to Bwindi. She did all of the leg work so that all we had to do was enjoy the trip.
Robert, our driver, was courteous and professional and provided invaluable assistance during the trip.
I would highly recommend Diana and Intek to anyone considering a trip to Uganda.
