Wonderful Tour Arranged by Giltedge Africa
5/5

My wife and I cannot say enough about our 15-day tour to South Africa and Zambia arranged by Philippa Lawrence of Southern Africa Travel/Giltedge Africa. Philippa's recommendations were spot-on and every aspect of our trip was well thought out. She went out of her way to listen to our wishes and she kept us fully informed of all details. All of the properties were stayed in were luxurious and we experienced absolutely amazing safaris. I would highly recommend Philippa to anyone interested in experiencing what southern Africa has to offer.

Back of Africa have did a great job in organizing and guiding during our whole trip in Kenya
5/5

This is my first time visit Kenya and thank you so much that Back of Africa have provided to me a great experience throughout my safari. Allan is really helpful and pleased to answer any of our questions during our planning stage especially arranging the pick up and drop off from and to airport no matter how early is the flight....pick up at very early morning 4am with no worries.

Our guide, George, an extremely experienced and really nice guy. He can spot the animals so quick that we even need to search for some time from where they are. George will try his best effort to search for the hiding animals and explained to us in details their character and behaviour with best of his knowledge. We indeed can understand more about the wild. Overall the safari is wonderful. The lodge we are staying with very good standard, the price is reasonable, the safari is smooth and well planned and the service is excellent.

I will highly recommend my friends to join Back of Africa or maybe me again in the coming future.

Thanks for the memories
5/5

“Thank you”, Pembury Tours and my Tour Consultant: Laurette, for arranging my 2 weeks’ vacation in South Africa. I refer to it as a “Perfect Vacation”. Everything went smoothly and hotel selections were first class. Transportation and drivers were always on time and a pleasure to be with. I highly recommend Pembury Tours for their attention to details. They rate “5 stars” with me.

One of the best experiences of the whole trip in Africa. Very nice guide.
5/5

They have always been very involved answering all my doubts through internet. One we got to the airport the guide was waiting for us. He took care of us all the trip, he drove us to the village where we would see the Gorilas. The guide was all the time available for us and helpful. One in the forest, the experience was amazing! We say this animal so close to us! After a not so long trecking we could see the whole family. Totally recommended. We are super happy with the full experiencd.

Excellent tour guide and very nice accommodation
5/5

I am very happy with the tour with Masai Mara. We had 7 people in our tour group and our tour guide was Kikitu Douglas. He is an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable, always a big smile on his face. The booking communication with Lennox was excellent as well. Lennox was very responsive. Kikitu picked me up at my hotel on time. The whole tour was as expected. We saw 4 out of the big 5 animals, among many others. The camp was also very nice. I highly recommend this company for the tour.

We experienced some of the best days of our life with KTM
5/5

End of September 2018 we booked a 5 Day Safari with Kilimanjaro Trekking Mate - 5 days Safari in Tarangire NP, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Before we even got to Africa, Nick (the owner of KilimanjaroTrekkingMate) was patiently answering all of our endless questions and prepared us very good for our journey. Pick up from the airport, Safari briefing etc. were also very professional.

The Safari exceeded our expectations by far and was an absolute highlight - Shirima, our guide, was very knowledgeable of all the animals, the culture and the national parks. He patiently explained and answered everything and we really learned a lot about Africa’s nature and culture. He is a very experienced Safari guide and knew all the right spots so that we not only saw The Big Fives, but also other spectacular animals.
Also our cook Rushili treated us with some very good (African) food, which we really enjoyed.

We can highly recommend this company for a Safari and will definitely come again! Asante Sana!!!

5/5

I was so impressed and happy with our safari tour. This was our honeymoon and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our guide Salehe was a pleasure to be around, just terrific. The excursions were organized well and I loved the accommodations. Very pleased with how everything turned out and enthusiastically recommend Lion King. Best honeymoon an adventure living new wife could ever ask for. Exceeded my expectations.

South Africa Botswana adventure with World Escapes
4/5

We had a great time! Cape Town was unbelievable! Our hotels were outstanding and the World Escapes did a great job with all our day trips. Sam our guide was top notch. Please let World Escapes know that he was great!

Chiefs camp is the best camp that we have stayed in way much better that mombo. The camp and the rooms were excellent, We can say the same thing about the staff and the quality of food.

Duba was great, Dynamics have changed since the hunting Tsaro pride had aged /passed away and the next generation is in charge. The food by the chef Oliver was one the best food we have had in all of our safaris. Every dish that he prepared mouthwatering. Please let the World Escapes know that many of us wanted to take Oliver back in the States with us because he was that great. The rooms at the camp were nice… However the camp Managers were new and didn’t handle some sitituations as proffesionally as they could have although they were fine nonetheless. Baboons broke into Herbert and Paula’s rooms and the way the managers handled it made it seem like that were trying cover it up. Maybe /maybe not who knows?

We finally hit the rainy season and it showed, wildlife viewing wasn’t as pleasant but we have to give it to the guides who tried really hard to show a good time. they were honestly great. The food looked nice but needs a lot of improvement. it just didn’t taste as good. The camp also needs a facelift. The floors were not as clean including inside the shower, they need to pick this up with the house cleaning who need to do a quick daily sweep of the fllors. The only reason that I have decided to point out these faults is to help the camps to raise their standards. The were all very special camps and we loved every moment of our trip. Thank you all for all you did to make it happen. We will recommend you to our friends.
