Fantastic
We can't say enough good things about our experience with Anya and Pembury Tours! Anya knocked it out of the park with the plans for our honeymoon to Cape Town, safari and Victoria Falls. Every hotel was fantastic, the tours were beautiful, all of the drivers were on time, if not early, and every detail was executed flawlessly. We had a fantastic trip and have passed Anya's info off to multiple friends and family already to book their own trips in the future. We will for sure reach out again for any future trips. Thank you Anya!

Amazing!
An incredible way to experience the vibrant energy of Addis Ababa after dark!
The evening kicked off with a stop at Meskel Square, which has such a lively, illuminated atmosphere at night, followed by a scenic walk taking in the sights and pulse of the city.
The tour guide, Tamrat, was absolutely fantastic. He was super engaging and shared tons of insightful information about Ethiopia’s rich history, traditions, and modern culture, answering every question with passion and depth.
The highlight was finishing the night at Yod Abyssinia for dinner. The traditional food was outstanding, and the live cultural dance and music performances were breathtaking and energetic—such a vibrant showcase of the diverse cultural traditions from across the country.
Overall, an amazing tour from start to finish. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Addis Ababa who wants an unforgettable, culturally rich night out!

Great company, all interactions with Nafika were timely and professional.
My husband and I, both 58, selected the 8 day Lemosho route with Nafika after reading so many positive reviews. Elias was great to deal with, even giving us a full refund when a knee injury forced a cancellation.
We then rebooked, 2 yrs later, with a stronger knee.
We were collected from the airport, then Meshack, our lead guide, checked our gear and filled any gaps.
Once you start out you quickly realise that ALL the companies use local guides and porters.
We had 18 crew, inc 3 guides for our group of 5.
Minus 34 sleeping bag provided was super cosy.
Pee bottle essential, especially on diamox. A challenge for me, 3 layers and on my knees!
Twice daily health checks, inc blood oxygen levels. The guides are well trained and experienced, and also monitor you as you go.
Altitude sickness is random and potentially serious, with Nafika your health is always the priority.
The tipping ceremony is very heart warming, we have so many great memories to treasure.
We are very grateful and proud to be Bubba and Mumma Simba to our Nafrika family.
We hope to return one day. ❤️

The best of the best!
This was our second time booking a safari with Tanzania Choice. They did such an amazing job the first time, we had to go with them. First you start out with the booking and there is nobody better than Brenda. She is very patient, even if you change the itinerary multiple times or add friends to the trip. She knows the best lodges and safari packages to meet your wants and desires. The lodges they use are top notch, we always had great service and the food is amazing.
Now let’s talk about their guides. The first trip we got Noel and he was so amazing. He knew all the animals and had a keen eye. He also taught us some Kiswahili words and phrases. The second trip we got his brother Leslie. I wasn’t sure he was going to be better than his brother, but he was. Leslie is a wonderful person and the love he has for his job and the animals can be felt through his words and actions. He was always very respectful of the animals and put us in the best position for photographs.
Lastly let’s talk costs. I have always been impressed with the value we have received from the costs of the lodges and the guides. Brenda always gives options based on budget and even the lower cost lodges are amazing. I can go on for hours talking about Brenda and Leslie and Noel and how much we enjoyed our time with them. Now you should book and see for yourself. They are the best!

Excellent. Very patient, and resolved the issue very promptly!
It was a fantastic experience. The hotel and the itinerary were excellent, and the guide was very patient. We managed to see almost all the animals—we successfully ticked off the "Big Five"! We also had a perfect view of the Great Migration river crossing.

good
Responses and issue resolution were prompt, and the owner was very patient. Our guide, Emma, was fantastic; the itinerary was well-planned, and the accommodation was great. The owner even thoughtfully arranged a birthday cake for me, as my birthday fell during the trip—it was wonderful.

Amazing，like a dream.
An incredible journey. With our experienced guide Felisian Baraza, we saw lots of interesting animals and wonderful moments among wildlife.

Great guide, responsive operator and competitive prices
Ally was our guide and he was fantastic. He was great at using the radio and we benefitted from his relationships with the other guides we came across as they gave us tips and worked together. He also spotted animals we'd never have noticed, including a leopard from hundreds of metres out, and really knew his stuff when it came to animal behaviour, including where the wildebeest would end up crossing.
Loren was quick to reply while booking and his prices beat other operators we'd looked at. Pick-ups at Kilimanjaro airport and in Zanzibar were both spot on, and the vehicles we were picked up in were air-conditioned which we were very grateful for. They also put a "Just Married" cover on the spare tyre for us, and my wife loved it.
We're really glad we got to support a local business. Would absolutely recommend.

Woodbridge came through again
Once again - and at the last minute - I contacted Woodbridge to request a mini-safari for the NEXT day, as I was arriving by train and not flying out until late. Robert arranged this for me. A driver picked me up at the station, drove me a few hours around Nairobi National Park looking mostly for birds, and then took me to the airport. A perfect last day in Kenya thanks to Woodbridge Safaris. I completely recommend them.
