Knowledgeable, Informative, caring and an effortless process to plan our trip to Africa
Although we planned where we wanted to go in Africa, it was Encompass Africa that put together the trip, with their knowledge and expertise making this a memorable and fuss free process. We were always well informed and all staff were helpful and efficient. Our trip was amazing, from being welcomed at the airport to all our accommodation, food, service and onward transport. We always felt warmly welcomed. Even receiving an email whilst we were away to make sure all was going well was a lovely touch.
We had an amazing holiday. Spending time at Amboseli National Park, Samburu National Park, Masai Mara, Northern Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park, all different and all offering diversity. We espeicially loved Elephant Bedroom Camp at Samburu, stunning country. We look forward to returning to Africa and when we do, we look forward to dealing with Encompass Africa again.

An experience we will never forget
What a wonderful holiday we had! Selma and Ngomi are very nice people (we met them at the start of our vacation) and they had set up the perfect trip for us. Everything was well arranged and the lodges and other accommodations were great. The buildup of the safari was ideal, starting at the Olpopongi Maasai village, moving to Lake Manyara, Serengeti and finally Ngorongoro. It was fantastic to see everything we hoped for (Big Five, hunting cats, etc.) and truly living the wildlife experience. After that, a very relaxing week at the amazingly beautiful beach of Zanzibar.
Special mention goes to our guide Humphrey, of which we cannot speak highly enough. He is a great host, always having his clients' interest at heart. Also, he is very knowledgable about wildlife and nature (we didn't call him Humphreypedia for nothing). Finally and most importantly, he is a truly great guy and fun to be around.
Overall, an experience we will never forget and something we wish for anyone to have!
Thank you so much,
Jori & Fien van de Spijker

An incredible experience made possible by Pembury Tours!
It was our very first trip to the African Continent and Pembury Tours made sure that it was an amazing and incredible experience. Laurette McKinnon, our travel consultant did an exceptional job. We told her that the highlight of our trip was the Safari and she made that happen. She booked us at Kambaku River Sands; and totally exceeded our expectations. Everything about Kambaku was top notch - from the rooms, the food and the staff, the elephants drinking from the pool. The game drives were excellent. We saw the big 5, the ugly 5 :) , cheetah, wild dogs and a lot more and a kill! Our ranger, Phanuel and tracker, Riffus made the drives more fun!
Thank you so much! It was truly an incredible , memorable experience!

Excellent, professional service!!
We booked the safari segment of our South African vacation through Madi at Wild Wings, choosing lodges in Sabi Sands and Klaserie. Madi dealt completely with every question or concern that we had. We had never gone on safari before so we had loads of questions which Madi patiently answered. She made excellent suggestions and gave us top notch advice. We found Madi to be extremely knowledgeable. We would definitely use Wild Wings and Madi again to plan other African trips.

"Unforgettable Safari Trip!"
We were a group of 6 and booked our safari with Open Arica Safaris after visited thier website and read their good reviews. We visited Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti National Parks. Our Safari guide Anthony was an amazing on spotting animals and showed us the best sites to take photos. We stayed at the Sopa lodges which were a god send after a long safari. I would recommend booking a safari trip with Open Africa Safaris. Thank you, we had such a great time!

Great Safari exprience!
My girlfriend and I just came back from a mid-range Safari and Zanzibar tour with Open Africa Safaris which is a local Tanzanian company. John was really helpful and his responses were timely. The price was not over the top for the tour that we got. And yet, the accommodations and food were fantastic. Anthony, our safari guide, was not only experinced, but also very friendly. We couldn't have asked for a better guide. He is extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife, birds and all parks of Tanzania. He also has the best vision and pointed out things that we could until we got our binoculars out. He went out of the way to ensure that we had the best trip and also suggested changes to the itinerary to maximize our time. We will highly recommend Open Africa Safaris to any one who wants to get the best safari experience. These guys are well trained and organized.

Wonderful Guides for both Kilimanjaro and Safari
I contacted African Scenic based on recommendations from my daughter's friends, and have been very well pleased. From first contact through trip planning to leading me to roof of Africa, then assembling our party for 6 days of game safari they were flawless and very professional. Their guides were great, accommodations great, food overwhelming. I absolutely recommend them, and in fact have already done so to friends thinking of their own trip.
