Excellent tour operator
We worked with Tammy of Pembury Tours to plan our trip to South Africa. When we first contacted Tammy, she asked a few questions to get an idea of the type of vacation we were looking for. She understood what we wanted immediately and met all expectations. The itinerary was perfectly planned and the materials provided to us on our arrival in South Africa were clear and easy to use. Tammy's arrangements of transfers and travel within South Africa went off without a hitch. Tammy's choice of hotels and activities were flawless with a special shout out to the Winchester Manners (in Cape Town) and the Idube Lodge in Sabi Sands. Tammy communicated with us promptly and efficiently. I really cannot say enough good things about Tammy and Pembury Tours.

I think Uganda has a lot of wildlife in Murchison falls
my trip to Murchison falls with my daughter was so full of surprises Brian sent us a quote and a very good travel plan however it was so pricey nevertheless I expected to have a normal trip that did not include much we were picked up by Moses from the airport for our 3 days to Murchison falls but surpassingly Brians planning was on top after reading a few of his good work on Internet from the past travellers on trip advisor he organised for us the a very good safari we slept at pakuba safaris lodge and another night we slept at pakuba lodge all these lodges were very nice food was good except at para lodge the wildlife was so much and we could not just feel it was enough for us everyday was a new experience for us lions cabs, leopards, herds of elephants and very many antelopes as well this is the best national park Uganda has with well protected and conserved wildlife
this company will take you to an amazing trip thinking Brian charged us highly yes fine but the price was valued to its bet. the best trip my daughter enjoyed so far

An Amazing Adventure
Our six nights, seven days Botswana trip was an unforgettable adventure. We went all the way from Kasane to Maun with Tony Mobile Safari. One night in Kasane for a river boat safari, one night in Chobe, two nights in Savuti and two nights in Moremi. We finished off with a peaceful mokoro tour in Maun with hippos grunting right next to the canoe.
Everything was planned out perfectly with a team of one guide and two guys who managed the mobile camp. We were amazed from how quickly the staff prepared both our meals and our big luxury tent before we arrived to the campsites. The camp were set up in great locations, the last one near Khwai river (in the Okavango Delta) where elephants visited daily.
Tony, our guide drove us in an open safari vehicle (land cruiser). To be able to drive in Chobe national park with all it’s sand, mud, water crossings and small connecting roads the driver must have a huge experience about the area, which our guide had since he grew up in the area.
Game viewing was very good. The number of different animals on the safari was incredible and the differences between Chobe, Savuti and Moremi made the trip complete. Some of the highlights was spotting wild dogs (twice!!), close up elephant encounters, a male lion having his kudu baby dinner and of course many wonderful sunsets. The birdlife in Chobe national park is remarkable too.
Tony is a well experienced guide and knows everything there is to know about nature; from the name of the tiniest little bird to the big carnivores and their behavior. He’s also involved in conserving wildlife and if you are interested he will tell you bush stories and about the issues the game reserves and the animals are facing today and in the future.
Tony is an easy going guy, always joking or singing, and that made even the long transportation days in the car fun.
Over all, we had a fantastic time and everything ran very smoothly, I would definitely recommend Tony Mobile Safari.

As the name says, fantastic!
I did a 3-days safari from Arusha to Serengeti and Ngorongoro, everything went perfect. Our driver Richard and our chef were awesome, the camping sites among the animals and the areas we visited for sure are must see places at least once in life.

a great safari!!!
I recommend Wildlife Oasis Tours for a really great safari, and for a great price!
Alli picked us up and delivered us back to our hotel.we stayed at their hotel ,the day before and on the last day which was included in the price. The guide was a very passionate guy with great knowledge of the animals and the area., the food was also very tasty.The company is very eager to please, and wants to make sure you have a good time. We had no problems with the Tent. I highly recommend this company for a budget safari.To be honest, I was a little concerned when booking a budget safari ,but i lately was verry gladed to choose the company to get such a great experience.

Arrived as clients left as friends
In love with African nature and wildlife, we decided to choose Tanzania as our next holiday destination. We started looking in internet for tour operators and I accidentally came across Makasa. I read the reviews and I liked what I read, so I contacted Selma and explained that we wanted to go on Safari and then maybe to the beaches of Zanzibar. Selma sent us an itinerary and gave us so much time as we needed to read it through, to read about lodges and national parks. That is what I liked in particular: Makasa made no pressure and let us time to think everything over. Each time we had questions, Selma answered them in no time. Makasa is very flexible and if you, for some reason, would like to change something in your itinerary, it is no problem. They have a wide choice of lodges and activities to choose from.
Upon arrival to Tanzania, we were picked up at the airport by our guide Mathias and brought to the lodge in Moshi. Some hours later he took us on a tour around Moshi and showed us local food markets where we bought the most delicious avocados and bananas. We then drank delicious coffee at the local cafe, with coffee beans grown in the area. The next day we went to see beautiful waterfalls and then headed to Kilimanjaro starting point. Kilimanjaro area is very green and we explicitely asked Selma to let us stay a day or two in this area. We had a lot of fun with our guide, he told us a lot about local culture and we just had a good laugh with him.
Our safari experience was unforgettable. We visited in total 4 national parks and saw the Big Five. Our safari guide's name is Daniel. We saw so many wild cats up close, including leopards, that we wanted to see no more =) Daniel could spot animals some 200 meters or even more away!!! I do not know how he did that! He was very knowledgable, told us a lot about animals, their habits etc. He did that in an interactive way, by asking us questions and then giving the right answer. Every evening, at the dinner we discussed plans for the next day: what animals we wanted to see, what time we start safari and if we wanted to have breakfast before safari starts or during etc. So we knew exactly what we would be doing the next day. He is also a very careful driver and took our and his own safety as a priority.
Our lodges were great, and comfortable, especially the lodge in Serengeti National Park - we slept in the tents (tents are equipped with a bed, there is a toilet and a shower, laundry service also available - so no worries). Each night we fell asleep to the sound of roaring lions and grinning hyenas. We saw a leopard on the tree as we arrived to the lodge - he was just chilling there, 150 meters away from us=). Selma knew that such experience is a must in Tanzania. One of the lodges, at which we stayed, supports a children's home - it means 20 % of sales goes to the needs of this project. I visited the children's home myself and I can say children are taken real good care of and are getting good education. Another lodge, at which we spent two nights in Moshi, supports the local school, the primary purpose being the education and empowerment of girls. So it is definitely a noble purpose. It is one more reason to choose Makasa - they choose lodges that give back to the community!
After our safari adventure, we were brought to the airport, so that we could continue to travel to Zanzibar. There we were met by the driver (who drove very carefully) and brought to the hotel. The hotel in Zanzibar was also a dream. In Zanzibar we were free to choose our own activities, like snorkeling or Stone Town visit. But one can book activities in advance with Makasa.
We would like to thank Makasa's team for our unforgettable adventure! We will always remember our happy days in Tanzania.
