Best trip in our lifes!! Arusha NP, Tarangire, Manyara Lake, Serengeti and Ngorongoro!
My girlfriend and me had an excellent safari with World Tour Safaris Tanzania. Since the first communication via email it has been perfect. Richard answered all our questions about everything we asked him.
Once in Arusha the deal was perfect, they pick up us in the hotel and took us to the office where the rest of the staff was waiting for us.
During all the safari we felt like at home, they treated us like a family. We really enjoyed every moment with them and it was very nice to share this experience with so good people!
Thank you to Socoine for the great food he cooked everyday for us, very very tasty!
Thanks to Frank for the game drives in the parks!
Special mention to Rickson, very young but still with a lot of knowledge about all the wildlife in Tanzania!
Thanks to all for make this trip a dream!

A wonderful holiday and stress free experience above all expectations
We rarely use travel agents as I usually research and make the bookings. While researching safari at Lalibela it was suggested I spoke to Penbury so sent an enquiry. I received an almost immediate reply that a travel consultant would contact us directly. Gail contacted us, working to develop a customised itinerary and arranged car hire, accomodation and safari bookings. We loved our trip to Lalibela. It was amazing and our guide was knowledgable and friendly. The game viewing was excellent and we couldn’t believe how close we got to the animals. Our safari definitely made our trip a memorable one! The directions and timings provided to get from one location to another made it easy for us.
Accommodation throughout was of an excellent standard.
We had contacted some other operators for similar quotes, but Gail's level of service was vastly superior to the others, so we went with Pembury and was very happy with their service all the way through. Gail was very knowledgable and happy to answer any questions we had during the planning process.
The level of detail included in the planning is exceptional, which resulted in the entire tour taking place without a hitch. Gail provided a detailed itinerary by email and we were met at the airport and taken to collect our car with a full travel package which incudes vouchers for the car hire, safari, hotel and pre-booked attractions.
Pembury encourage feedback to improve their level of service to future customers.
I would definitely use Pembury to book our next trip to Africa.

The custom safari delivered everything we wanted, while providing us the comforts and safety we need
The planning and communication leading up to the trip was perfect . Alym worked with us to make multiple changes and iterations to our itinerary, to get us and amazing final trip. During our time on Safari, the transpiration and transition between camps and airports was seamless. We always felt we were in good, safe hands. The highlight was the Legendary camp and Faru Faru. Though, we did think Legendary should have provided flashlights or walkie talkies incase animals got too close. Every camp was aware of Brooks' dietary needs, and were blown away with how prepared and accommodating everyone was. Zanzibar transportation from the Airport to the hotel was a bit confusing and was less professional than our previous experiences in the bush. In general, we felt a bit unprepared in terms of tipping, for example it was not mentioned how much to tip guides and servers / general staff, leaving us short of cash just halfway through the trip. We did not think the stop at the Bushback Safari office was necessary.

Wonderful unique amazing photography experience
I loved experiencing/ seeing part of the Annual Migration of Wildebeest, Zebras & Gazelles. Amazing. The wide open beautiful landscape was awe-inspiring.
The resorts in the National Park were fantastic & wonderful refuge after a hot, dusty day photographing the wildlife.

9 day custom tour in Tanzania, excelent!
We spent 9 days in Tanzania with Shadows of Africa.
It was a great experience right from the first emails customising our itinerary, to Shadows organising our connecting flights, to meeting Richard (our awesome guide) at Serengeti North in a very good quality vehicle through to Richard dropping us off at Kilimanjaro Airport.
Shadows were happy to customise our itinerary, organising all our permits and accomodation, everything went without a hiccup.
Our guide was extremely knowledgable about the flora and fauna of the area including seasonality and interactions.
He always seemed to know where to go to get good interactions, we were keen to be out at first and last light and take a break or move during the heat of the day and he was more than happy to accomodate this as well as being very good at positioning the vehicle to get good photo opportunities.
We deliberately chose to not make unrealistic requests for specific encounters and to trust in Richard's ability and skills, all expectations were exceeded.
We met a competent guide at the start of our trip and said goodbye to a friend.
Highly recommend a competent, value for money tour operator.

9 days in Uganda, Rwanda & Congo; Gorilla, Chimp & Monkey trekking, overnight on volcano, Excellent
We had a great experience, right from the start of emailing to customising our itinerary, to being picked up by Ben (our excellent guide) in a very good quality vehicle to being settled into our last Motel before flying to the next leg of our trip.
Gorilla Trek Africa organised our Gorilla trekking permits in Uganda and Rwanda, our Chimp trekking Permits in Uganda, our Golden Monkey trekking permits in Rwanda and a 2 day hike to Mount Nyiragongo in DCR and it all went without a single hiccup.
Ben was a great representative of Gorilla Trek Africa, going above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, even organising overnight repairs to one of our pairs of hiking boots and tracking down a replacement to a lost power adaptor.
He was able to answer all our inquiries about Uganda and Rwanda; flora and fauna, agriculture, infrastructure, education, health politics etc.
On the first day we met a very competent guide, on the last day we said goodbye to a good friend.
Highly recommend a competent and good value for money company.

Brilliantly arranged Kruger Park Guided Safari
Arrangements professional with knowledgeable guides enriching the experience,except for the big 5 we also saw the endangered African ground hornbill as well as a honey badger. The guide gave a lot of information on smaller things like birds and interesting plants which was very beneficial over driving around blindly by yourself. Will Definitely book with them again.

Great Safari with Real Africa
I am so pleased with my experience seeing Tanzania and Kenya on safari with Real Africa. This was my first trip to Africa and I spent quite a lot of time on-line looking for a safari company that offered what I wanted. My e-mails were answered promptly and all of my questions were addressed. When I arrived in Nairobi I was met by Patrick who accompanied me to the hotel and gave a thorough overview of the trip. The safari itself was very well organized with superb driver/guides with sharp eyes for pointing out the animals and a wealth of knowledge about everything we saw including the birds and trees. From the beginning to the end I felt I was in good hands. I highly recommend Real Africa Safaris. You can visit their website for more information and other safaris they offer.
