It was a great experience
We saw a lot of game in Selous and enjoyed the activities and the beautiful sights in Mikumi and Ruaha. We are looking forward to visiting the Northern circuit in 2015 and will use Safarihub to arrange the trip.

One of our greatest holidays
We've had a fantastic holiday that we will remember for a very long time. The communication by mail to find out which part of Tanzania we wanted to visit was very pleasant. Mrs. Freys really took her time to find out what we wanted. She has arranged a holiday for us according to our wishes and everything was perfect. She booked our flights, arranged the transfers etc.
We felt very welcome when we arrived in Kilimanjaro and she an her colleague came to pick us up. The accommodations in which we stayed were very good. The tents were spacious, the food was excellent, even for vegetarians. And we were lucky to be in the slow season so we were able to have a car for ourselves almost everyday. We have seen a lot of animals and can recommend the combination Ruaha - Selous. The guides and cars they used at the lodges were very good. And also our accommodation on Mafia was great. Friendly, welcoming people, beautiful dive sites etc. We really had a wonderful time.

I will always call Pembury Tours and Susan first!
I'm a pilot for a major airline and when we were thinking of going on a Safari and tour around South Africa I wrote to many tours asking for prices and details. Susan from Pembury Tours was the first to acknowledge gave us great info from the start. I tried Expedia and others and Susan got us the best prices and tailored our trip to what we wanted to do with our budget.
Susan was incredible, checking with us along the way as we traveled around South Africa. We had a few things go wrong (Not Susan's fault) and she took care of everything making our travel seamless.
If I travel in South Africa I'm calling Susan first! There is no reason to call anyone else.

Easy, one stop shop!
This is the second time I have had the pleasure of working with Monika Korn at The Safari Source. Monika listen to what I wanted and developed an itinerary that met my needs. She provided options and advice and my final product matched all requirements. The whole process was easy and hassle free and I would be more than happy to work with Monika Korn and the Safari Source in the future.

Enjoyable, short adventure
Easy communication over many months. The lodgings chooses were very nice and met expectations. Stephan was helpful in lining up a place for us in Arusha. John did a good job driving. He knew we were focused on birding, and while not a birding guide, he made an extra effort to help us spot and recognize several different birds.
Uganda 6 Day Safari - great choices of activities & unique lodging
We had an excellent 6 day safari with Steady Safaris - we did gorilla tracking in Bwindi, Buhoma Community Walk, game drives in Queen Elizabeth National Park (tree climbing lions, leopards, elephants and more), Kazinga Channel Boat Cruise (hippos, crocs, water buffaloes, birds) and chimp tracking and Swamp Walk in Kibale National Forest. Carlos selected great lodges (Buhoma Community Rest Center,Bush Lodge,Chimps Nest) which exceeded our expectations for food and lodging. All lodges provided a unique African experience. Our driver Arthur made sure we saw all the highlights and delivered us safely to our destinations. Carlos also helped with last minute changes as one of our group was unable to make the trip due to a broken arm

12 days Hwange and Mana Pools August 2014
Dear Mike and Bernhard from Khangela Safaris
Thank you for putting Zimbabwe on top of the safari world map!
We were lucky to take part in a 12 days Hwange / Mana Pools National Parks combination on a Khangela Safaris trip with Mike Scott.
This felt like the sea to summit tour showing diverse natural wonders with great differences in landscape scenery, habitat and animal population. Game spotting is always a variable thing but the plentiful menu will have a lot to offer in terms of different antilope, circus elephants, cats and dogs and great scenery with colorful sunsets at the river or with baobabs to dream.
Thank you for doing your safaris in a minimal impact way being respectful to nature and animals. We really enjoyed staying at remote places experiencing the luxury of being away from the crowds in combination with your great campfire restaurant. The mobile tented safari offers great freedom in trip layout and could be customized to our wishes. Together with excellent camp assistant and spotter Bernhard we were guided by a brilliant team.
The Camps you picked at Mandavu Dam (Hwange), Chitake Springs and Croton on the Zambezi riverfront (both Mana Pools) were excellent. What a wonderful experience to check out the surroundings in a mixture of game walks and drives.
Thank you Mike and Bernhard as well for spotting, pampering us safely, caring, sharing knowledge, cooking and much more –giving us memories to put a permanent smile on our faces.
This is definitely something to come back for !

A hassle-free experience
I went to Nairobi on some business and then used Chalo Africa to plan a 3 day trip to Masaai Mara after my work in Nairobi was done. I have to say that my experience was pretty smooth and quite enjoyable. The taxi drivers hired by them were helpful and courteous. The Kichwa Tembo camp was luxurious and the game drives were elaborate and adventurous with experienced guides. I even got a free upgrade on the room I had booked there. I definitely recommend Chalo Africa for planning a tension-free trip to Africa.
Exceptional
The hospitality on my safari was exceptional and Richard you are so far my favorite guide,I can't wait for a family trip next time around.
