Unforgettable experience!!! You will not be disappointed!
Our safari with Endless Summer tours was hands down the most amazing experience ever! From Chicago, my wife and I traveled to South Africa at the end of May 2015. We booked a four day private safari at Kruger National Park. The private safari was definitely the way to go because we were able to do what we wanted and didn’t have to stop based on preferences of the rest of a group. We couldn’t have been happier with our tour guide Rhys. He was incredibly knowledgeable, super friendly and you could tell he was so passionate about the animals. He was also an amazing cook!
We expected to see some animals on this trip but our expectations were blown out of the water with the variety and amount of sightings we had. Giraffes, white rhino, herds of elephants, wild dog, hippo, lion, buffalo, zebra, you name it, we saw it. Rhys knew exactly where to go and how to approach the animals. We would start out early each morning and drive for about 3 hours, have lunch and then continue on for a couple more. We would break for a couple of hours and then went out for night drives. The night drives weren’t as exciting as our day drives but still a great experience.
On one of our drives, we nearly saw a kill!! A lioness was waiting in the bush hunting two impala that seemed to be fighting with each other. It looked as if she was going to pounce any moment when suddenly one of her adolescent cubs that was playing in the distance decided to get curious and run over by the impala which scared them away. It was amazing to see this even if we didn’t actually see a kill. Rhys mentioned that it is rare to see a kill and he had only seen about 4 himself. On another drive we saw a pack of 9 or so wild dogs. Apparently there aren’t too many of them around anymore in Kruger and was a rare siting. We followed them for some time and then they wandered off into the bush. No less than a minute later, there were two lioness in front of us. One of them went into the bush while the other simply walked around for a while. She was so close to us and even brushed up against the side of the car. Our hearts were racing to see this so close!
During our four day stay in Kruger, we stayed at Lower Sabre and Biyamiti cabins. Lower Sabre had a nice room with a cute porch that had an outdoor kitchen full of cooking utensils and a grill. Biyamiti was similar but a more spacious cabin and indoor kitchen. Each night Rhys cooked some delicious meals. We did not expect to eat as well as we did during our stay. Every night was a traditional brai (South African BBQ). We had chicken, sausages, bacon and steaks! Even for lunch Rhys was on the grill cooking eggs, sausage, bacon toast and veggies. We did not go hungry. This time of year was their winter and did get pretty chilly on the early morning drives and evenings so be prepared to have some warmer clothing.
Overall, this was an incredible experience. There are no words to describe this adventure besides breathtaking and magical. We saw everything we wanted to see and then a whole lot more. We were sad to leave Rhys too. We really got along so well with him and was great to hang out. He really made our experience that much better. I can’t say enough great things about this Endless Summer tour. Thanks so much for this experience!!

Review about Matobo National Park by ernst schade
Matabo is a great destination, scenic wise. We stayed at the Shumba Shaba Lodge in a spectacular setting.

An unforgettable experience!
I have visited Mana Pools about eight times when I was resident In Zimbabwe. This time we stayed with Goliath Safaris lead by the renowned guide Stretch Ferreira. Probably the best guide one can have at wonderful Mana Pools. Walking safaris are the best way to explore and to get a real feel of bush life and we came very close to elephants and lions.

Thoroughly Pleased
My husband and I worked with Kerry to plan our honeymoon in June in Botswana and Zambia. I cannot compliment Kerry highly enough. She was patient with our many changes in the itinerary and respected our budget, while securing lodges that fit our needs. All of our transfers went smoothly, the lodges went above and beyond our expectations and every detail of our trip was so well coordinated that we felt like we had personal handlers the whole time. This must be how movie stars live! I highly recommend booking a safari through Pembury tours.
South Africa trip Cape Town,Kruger national park and Victoria falls trip with Pembury travels
We had lovely trip. Before going there were a bit scared but when started correspondence with Susan I started gaining confidence and we enjoying amazing holiday. Transports from Airport different activities were reliable. Winchester Mansion in Cape Town was good. We did Shark cage diving and whale watching and it was a memorable experience.
Kruger National Park Safari was again a great experience. Hoyo Hoyo lodge was good, staff was great, Safari was amazing. Saw big 5s and guide Themba was very good.
Victoria falls was breathtaking. Zambezi Sun was good but service could have been better.

a super well organized trip with variety and a professional guide
The day before we left we received a extended detailed explanation, both spoken and written, about the trip together with some extra recommendations. The guide was perfectly in time to pick us up at our accommodation and we felt immediately at ease in each others presence. The guide turned out to be a very safe driver and a real expert in the field of all kinds of animal species. Our overnight stays were very comfortable and it has lacked us nothing. The trip had a nice variety in activities and was absolutely not over scheduled; it was breathtaking, a memorable experience!

An unforgettable adventure!
Me and my friend booked our tour through Moses, who was very helpful with everything. We had a good experience with zazu-tours - we did safari in six days where we got to see Tarangire nationalpark, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. We were a mixed group of four people and we had so much fun every day when we drove around the National Parks to look for animals.
We were lucky to see all animals we were looking for!! Also "the big five".
Everyday we ate really good food from our wonderful, and funny chef and we had time to relax in the camp with cardgames and coffee :-)
I will definitely recommend this company to everybody. Especially because you get value for money and get to see a lot of pretty cool stuff! :-)

Genuinely satisfying no frills safari
We had 4 days in Selous in September and had a fantastic time with Kanuth's team. The communication between Kanuth and us was seamless in organising the trip, and from being picked up to dropped off at the end, everything ran smoothly.
Our driver/guide and chef were fun, knowledgable, professional, and very hard working and spent a lot of time and effort with us to make sure we saw the most we possibly could in the time we had and that we enjoyed ourselves.
We would absolutely use Kanuth's company again for future safaris.
The 4 days in Selous are varied with boat safari/game drives/walking safari which gives you a flavour of local tribes and traditions. It allows for 2 full days of game drives, which is important because if you only give yourself one day and don't see much there's no wiggle room to go back and try again. We saw quite a lot more on the second game drive day so it was well worth it, and they were truly full days.
Food is generous and the setting in which you enjoy the downtime is well considered. We stayed in basic camping accommodation and for those who are looking for more budget options, this is a value-for-money choice.

Trip of a Lifetime
From the very first contact through to the final goodbye the staff at Mamaland Safaris went out of their way to ensure that our trip to Queen Elizabeth Park was the best it could possibly be. Our guide Michael, was extremely efficient, fun and very, very knowledgeable. The accommodation and food at Pumba Cottages was excellent. On the Safari we saw everything we hoped for and the local guides were brilliant. I cannot recommend Mamaland Safaris highly enough!
