familiy trip to tanzania
After crossing the country by tazara train , we needed to start our safari from mbeya. Umang made a excellent and custom-made organization for a trip to ruaha and selous responding exactly to our need. Lots of great nature and animals... We've seen everything and very close. I recommend also the breathtaking Sundown at Hilltop Lodge at Ruaha. Just silence and Africa...Experienced guides, nice lodges, adventure and each park offers it's own unique experience. And the southern curcuit is not crowded. Anyway, a great experience for me and a rally good time for us as a familiy...Thanks to Umang.

Superb organisation and perfect locations
African Heart organised our safari's and the trip to Zanibar. All was very good, inclusief flights, ferry and transfers. We had a great guide in the parks; Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire etc., and saw a lot of animals. Also Zanzibar was very nice And the accomodaties, lodges and tented camps were perfectly chosen. We had a great time.

Terrific trip; Sam was amazing guide that went above and beyond to give us a special trip.
Gorilla Trek helped put together a trip of a lifetime. Nicholas was extremely efficient in responding to our emails and our driver-guide Sam was more than just a great tour guide; he is a wonderful human being you taught us about his country and took amazing care of us throughout our 8 days with him. We not only tracked the Mountain Gorillas, the Golden Monkeys and the Chimpanzees, we learned about the people and culture of Rwanda. I highly recommend Gorilla Trek.

Exceptional Masai Mara experience
We went with Tayiai Safaris to Masai Mara, and it was a phenomenal adventure.
Our guide is a Masai himself and knew the Mara like the back of his hand. We had three days in the Mara and they didn't disappoint. We got to see lions and cheetahs, we saw elephants, hippos, crocodile. We saw the great migration with more wildebeast and zebras than you can imagine. We got to see a hyena with a pup.
Our guide also took us to the most scenic views, we had breakfast on the bank of Sand river one morning and ate lunch between hippos and nile crocs on the bank of Mara river the next day.
Tayiai Safaris has my warmest recommendations, and we have already ordered our next safari with them.

Awesome
Paul guided my daughter Christina and I on a 10 day adventure in Uganda which included climbing to see the gorillas. We experienced a trip of a lifetime. Paul took us to see and do things that the average traveller does not get to see and do. He is professional, fun, considerate, great problem solver and even waved his magic wand to make a black mamba appear so I could take pictures for our grandson. Enjoy your trip with Jungle Safaris. You will have a great adventure.

Safari of a lifetime
My husband and I had a fantastic 4 night, 5 day Okavango Delta safari with Impala Tours. Andre communicated efficiently throughout the planning process and helped us plan a safari that would work with our tight schedule. The safari exceeded our expectations -- Tshepo was an amazing tour guide who was was highly informative and experienced with wildlife (including successfully tracking a pride of 7 lions!). Both Tshepo and Andre were great fun to spend time with. There was never a dull moment! Thank you Impala Tours!!

Great organization!
We didn't have to worry about nothing. We just had to enjoy our vacations in beautiful Namíbia.
Dunas Safari arranjed the car hiring, lodges ( very well chosen) and the best tips for what to do in the short period of time we had.

Pembury created a trip of a lifetime. Far exceeded our expectations.
After researching more than 60 ‘safari’ planning companies, I selected Pembury. Pembury was the most apt to design a trip ‘just the way I wanted it’ and within my budget.
I worked with Gail in planning this ‘trip of a lifetime’ for my family and she far exceeded our expectations. Gail was thorough, knowledgeable, responsive, and flexible. She’s also a great negotiator as she negotiated upgraded rooms in several of our hotels.
Our lodging in Cape Town (Radisson Blu), Sabi Sands (Cheetah Plains), White Plains (Oliver’s), and Victoria Falls (Royal Livingstone) were all 5-star. The rooms were spacious, well appointed, and comfortable. The meals at the establishments were excellent too! The Radisson and Royal Livingstone offered impressive breakfast buffets. All the meals at Cheetah Plains were incredible and even though I’ve only been home for 3 days, I’m still dreaming of their meals and their amazing setting. I bring this up because the first night we were seated at a U-shaped table surrounding a fire overlooking the wildlife in the watering hole. Chef Paul and the entire staff were the finest we’ve ever experienced. We will definitely return to Cheetah Plains and the outdoor showers were great too.
Our tour guides (especially David with Paradise Tours in Cape Town) were on-time, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about their areas. The transfers between airports and lodges were excellent too and were always on-time, easy to identify, and helpful. It made our trip easy.
We really enjoyed our Cape Peninsula tour in Cape Town, the Elephant Ride at Victoria Falls (one of my favorite experiences), and our day trip to Chobe National Park in Botswana from the Royal Livingstone. If you have the opportunity, do all three as they are certainly must do’s for any traveler.
The highlights of our trip were the animals and the people. We weren’t sure how long it would take to see such wildlife but within minutes, and even within the Cheetah Plains compound, we were seeing the Big 5. At Cheetah Plains, we saw 11 separate lions within a 2-hour period of time plus we saw Elephants, Giraffes, Cheetahs, Leopards, Rhinos, Hippos, Zebras, Monkeys, Cape Buffalo, Hippos and so on. Too many animals to name and thousands by the end of our 12-day adventure! Then the watering hole situated by the swimming pool at Cheetah Plains was a great place to watch wildlife during the day as elephants, monkeys, deer, cape buffalo, warthogs, giraffes, and so on came in for a dip and sometimes a complete mud bath spa treatment! We were so close on safari, you really didn’t even need binoculars as you were only feet away from these majestic animals.
Now in Chobe, you spend the morning on a boat ride viewing hundreds of elephants grazing and swimming, hippos, cape buffalo, crocodiles, birds, etc. which was a great addition to our safari viewing. The afternoon game drive was good too as we saw hundreds more animals but were restricted to staying on the road.
The other highlight was the people of Africa. They were so welcoming, friendly, helpful, and had the largest smiles. They won our hearts over and we will definitely be back.
Pembury’s impeccable service and attention to detail will make us repeat customers. I am a seasoned travel and due to my experience with Pembury, I will always recommend Gail and the entire team as they work magic!
