Organized and thorough.
We had a fabulous time.
Communication during the organization of the tour was good.
Service as expected, good value for money.
The tour itself covered everything we wanted, including an add on to the Kalahari.
All the activities and guides were very good.
Our driver Mompati was excellent. Always early for pick ups, great driver and good company for the long drives.

Knowledgeable, flexible and responsive company
Our safari in Botswana with Sekanka was an amazing experience. The tour was well planned and organised with flexibility and good communication from Anna. We were well looked after at every stage by our driver, Mompati . The game drives, river cruises and scenic flights were excellent with great guides. We saw an incredible number of animals and birds in the beautiful landscapes of Chobe , the Okavanga and the salt pans. The last two days in the Kalahari were an added bonus in experiencing a remote area at a lodge with brilliant service . Would definitely recommend .

grab ride
I liked the organization; very well programmed and one is adequately informed
The car ride through nature was very nice, we saw elephants, rhinos, buffaloes, lions, monkeys, zebras, antelopes, hippos and giraffes
The cost/benefit ratio is very good. I recommend the one day tour.

Amazing trip
We had an amazing 'Etosha dash' trip with PEA Tours and Safaris. Solid, clean, comfortable en up for the job vehicle and driver. Communications beforehand and during the trip were effective, pleasant and clear. Prev's knowledge of the country, wildlife, culture, venues, etc was impressive en we had many many questions answered. I would definitely recommend PEA Tours and Safaris for an amazing customized trip to the beautiful country of Namibia.

Efficient and professional
We booked the 4-night stay at the Raddisson in Hoedspruit, including roundtrip flights from Cape Town. MoA handled our booking efficiently and professionally, with Lavender in the main office being particularly helpful, including prompt responses via email to our many questions.
The tours themselves were well-managed, with excellent guides, especially Evince (probably misspelled -- sorry), whom we had twice, and who was extremely knowledgeable about the animals, and where to look for them. But the other guides were also quite good.
The sunset drive was spectacular -- as perhaps was to be expected in a private reserve where the animals are more constrained. But so was the full-day safari in Kruger NP the next day. It helped that the weather was cloudy. The Panoramic Route on Day 3 was well worth it and a welcome break; bring hiking gear. Our second Kruger safari on Day 4 was nice but not as good -- it was simply too hot, so fewer animals and more discomfort. The guide did what he could, but we gave up a bit early. We didn't bother with the sunrise drive our last day, choosing to sleep in and enjoy the outstanding buffet breakfast, rather than getting up at 5 with a decent but unexceptional packed breakfast. But others who went said it had been worth it -- not surprising, since it was back in the private reserve.
Flying directly to Hoedspruit (HDS) was a definite plus, as the airport is only 15 minutes from the hotel -- and has a surprisingly nice gift shop as well as decent food for what is essentially a 1-room airport. Everyone else in our group flew to/from Johannesburg, requiring a 5-hour drive. And the Raddisson can only be described as luxurious, with excellent service (and food).
Minor glitches did occur: We didn't get lunch until well after 2 PM on our first day in Kruger. Our guide for the Panoramic Route found a leak in a tire before we started, causing a delay as he stopped to change it -- but better that than the alternative. And, unlike others in our group, we were never sent a detailed schedule, showing estimated pickup and dropoff times. But none of these would cause us to downgrade our rating.

Cannot recommend highly enough
We had a wonderful tour in Lake Nakuru and the Maasai Mara with Earthwings. Martin was excellent at speaking through all of the arrangements and setting up the booking before we arrived. Especially as we had quite specific requirements as we were travelling with our 9 and 6 year olds and wanted to make sure we included a variety of activities for them, but nothing was a problem to be organised. The tour itself was excellent - our driver Fredrick was very knowledgable and friendly, and was great with our kids. The 4x4 vehicle was perfect for our trip, and was in great condition and comfortable. All of the itinerary ran like clockwork - we had a thoroughly enjoyable time. Thanks very much Earthwings, and hope to visit again!
