Amazing experience. Fantastic company.
A once in a lifetime trip to Mount Kenya. 4 day hike via Sirimon route. John was exceptional at communicating, quick replies and accommodating all requests. Kevin our guide could not have been better. Very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the mountain. Took us up at the perfect pace and ensured our comfort throughout. Ian cooked meals that I did not think possible on a mountain and Brian our porter looked after us so well. Would happily book through Papiro Adventures again.

Great Safari Experience
With Full Package Adventures we experienced a well organized and amazing 4-day Safari. This made our Honeymoon Journey, which we made together with our kids, unforgetable. The good planning, starting with Pick-up from the Airport, special wishes like vegetarian food, up to wonderful hotels, was done by Faraja, who answered all our questions in short time. One day we spent at different cultural sites and shopping possibility in Arusha with Kevin, who drove us safely through the busy city. Our great safari guide Gilbert showed us then all the wonderful places and wildlife and provided interesting information about the animals and also about the different cultures and moreover, answered all our questions patiently. With beautiful pictures and memories we ended the trip. Hakuna matata, Gilbert!

Great
In 2016 Sox was our guide for a private familiy tour (4 persons). At that time he was working for a different safari company. We travelled from the Victoria-falls through the Caprivi-strip to the Okavangodelta. From there we went to Makgadikgadi-Pans and to the Chobe National Park.
Sox cared very well about us during those two weeks. We felt save and comfortable all the time. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. We could learn a lot about the wildlife and his home country and we had a lot of fun with him, especially in the evening at the campfire. Thanks for a great time!

Hyrax Safari office was helpful and very responsive.
Our experience with Hyrax Safaris was AMAZING. We couldn't have imagined the variety of animals we were able to see in such a short period of time. Our guide Sammy was ALWAYS in the right place at the right time. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the animals, their habitats and how they interacted with the environment and each other. The $$ paid for the 3 day safari was WELL WORTH THE IT !! The Hyrax Safari was an EXCELLENT VALUE !

Friendly, professional, efficient and a pleasure to work with.
We have 5* service from Heidi, who created a truly memorable holiday for us.
Heidi was always quick to respond to any enquiries we had and was fantastic in helping us as we had to postpone a couple of times from 2020 because of Covid. She listened to our requests and adapted the itinerary to create a wide-ranging itinerary that suited us.
We had an extremely smooth trip, being met as per the schedule at every location and we were able to relax and enjoy each moment.
The accommodation was really good and the whole trip good value for money.
We have already recommended Pembury and Heidi to friends and family.
Thank you, Heidi!

The best safari day we had!
Just a few days before our trip to Kruger we informed with Elephant Herd whether it was possible to do a private day tour. They still had a spot so we booked with them and it was a brilliant choice! Bhekifa was our guide who picked us up at the Skukuza Rest Camp and he knew the park like his pocket. He showed us the rhinos and many other animals. When we arrived at our coffee stop he heard there was a lioness near us and asked if we wanted to go for it or have the coffee first, of course we wanted the lion! It was like that all day, checking for options and talking with us about the animals and what we wanted to see. We really enjoyed our day with Bhekifa, he was a really nice and friendly guide with a lot of experience and knowledge. It helped us a lot through the rest of our safari.

Very friendly, well organized!
Booking via internet was so easy and smooth. I had a very welcoming and friendly contact via mail and later on by WhatsApp, what made it very easy to get connected.
I booked two tours with Golden Rwanda Safaris, both were touching (Genocide Memorial Tour) and magic (one day Akagera National Park Safari). Really nice tour guides who had time to answer all questions and were eager to find the best places and animals :-)
Thanks again so much! I really enjoyed the time with you and will take home so many good memories!

Amazing support from start to finish and an amazing 6 night / 7 day safari with my girlfriend!
From start to finish, everything was arranged perfectly! Victor really helped us out getting the perfect trip for us. Lenny the guide was really amazing with his passion for animals and photography!
We went from Nairobi to Amboseli (2 nights), then to Naivasha for a boat safari (1 night). Then we went for full day game drive to Nakuru (1 night), to see a lot of rhino's! After that we went to Masai mara for 2 nights.
When I was going to plan the trip, I contacted 5 or 6 safari companies with some of my wishes. I was planning to compare prices, but when I got in contact with Victor (compared to the other mails I received from other companies), I immediately knew, this guy is really going for the best experience for us. Money became less important.
Thanks again Victor and Lenny!

Top notch tour company with excellent communication!
Seven of us booked a two week safari with Safari Line Defender Tours. We started in Arusha and ended in Nairobi, visiting all the significant parks in northern Tanzania and southern Kenya. Our accommodations included a variety of tented camps and hotels. For the entire trip we were provided with sturdy Land Rovers and several guide-drivers, all of whom knew the best locations in each park for locating wildlife. By radio and phone the guides stayed in constant contact with the other guides in the parks so they knew immediately where to take us to see the most exciting sightings. This usually involved the big cats but also included the mass migration of wildebeest and other great wildlife scenes. Over the course of the two weeks there were really too many highlights to mention.
We spent a full year getting this trip organized and throughout that time I was in frequent email/WhatsApp contact with Rose Muthoni, the company co-founder. Her communication was always fast (within hours or less) and helpful. All details were easily attended to. Aside from wildlife viewing, the food was good and abundant throughout.
One detail to pay attention to when booking is to make certain that the maximum number of passengers in the Land Rover is seven and not eight so that every person gets a window seat.
From start to finish this safari was smooth sailing! I highly recommend this company for quality and competency.
