Best tour operator ever, I would 100% use them again.
We traveled to Mara and what really stood out was their knowledgeable and friendly guides. They not only knew the area inside and out, but also made the journey fun, engaging, and safe. Every stop on the itinerary was thoughtfully chosen, giving us the chance to experience the destination in a way that felt authentic and unforgettable!

Our Africa Adventure
Our tour with Pembury tours was customized for our group of 6.
It was absolutely perfect from being picked up at the airports, the tour guides (who were the best), the safaris we went on, the food (delicious) and the accommodations.
Any last minute additions were handled with ease by Heidi (A+)
We cough ave asked for a better adventure!

Local expertise in Kenya second to none !
If you are planning a trip to Kenya then look no further than Bernard and the team at Natural Scenes Africa. We recently had a week in Kenya, with 5 days and 4 nights on the Masai Mara which was expertly planned by Bernard and tailored to our budget, bucket list of experiences and with great suggestions from him.
Our accommodation was faultless, all transfers seamless and all our guides fabulous, especially Moses our guru for Masai Mara.
We went there from Australia, and when you are travelling that far, paying a lot of money for air fares you want value for money as well as expectations met. We had that and more, seeing The Big Five up close and personal as well as spending time in a Masai village. The Balloons Aloft experience was amazing; not cheap but wow !

Among too many tour companies for Kilimanjaro climbing, I was very lucky to choose Kisambi Tours and to meet the main guide Matty, the assistant guide Joseph, the cook, and the porters!
Compared to other major companies , Kisambi’s price was so low that honestly I worried if they really came to pick me up at the Airport. However, the e-mails before the departure was very smooth, their advice was so exact and credible, I decided to trust them.
Unlike many other big groups, they didn't offer a fancy "tea party" with a tablecloth on a terrace along the way, nor any unnecessarily luxurious meals or champagne. But they had sophisticated strategy and strong supportive power for reaching Uhuru Peak. In details, the timing of meals, the weather strategy, the pacing according to the clients' abilities and so on. They were so professional in every aspect.
If you want to experience Kilimanjaro purely as a mountaineering, I highly recommend climbing with Matty. He even offers winter Kilimanjaro climbs and a variation hiking route camping in crater and climbing directly to tje Uhuru peak.
There are true mountain enthusiasts in Tanzania!
Thank you so much!
Of the many companies available, I chose Kisambi Tours, and I was truly fortunate to have met main guide Matty, subguide Joseph, the cook, and the porters!
Compared to other companies, the price was so low that I was honestly a little worried. However, the pre-departure communication was so smooth and the advice so accurate that I decided to trust them.
Unlike many other companies, there was no tea ceremony with tablecloths on the terrace along the way, or any unnecessarily extravagant food or champagne, but
they were professional in every way, from their sophisticated strategy for reaching Uhuru Peak to the food, weather, and pacing the climbers according to their ability.
If you want to experience Kilimanjaro purely as a mountain, I recommend climbing with Matty. He said he can accommodate climbing Kilimanjaro in the dead of winter, or a short variation route to the summit with an overnight stay at Okama!
It turns out there are mountaineers in Tanzania too!! Thank you very much.

Incredible trip with ETA
We booked the safari trip around six months ago, Derrick reacts quickly all the time, and we feel relax during our safari, ETA arranged pur trip very nice, we are satisfied with their service.
Our driver and guide named Benson who's a young and shy guy, but it doesn't effect his hard work at all. The first day Masai Mara, he drove so fast because he wanted us to see the exclusive leopard, luckily, we saw the leopard on the tree with his pray, at the same day, we saw the cheetah.
The second day on Mara was incredible, Benson drove us to catch the wonderful moment that the cheetah was hunting!! Also another leopard on the tree!
We also went to Nakuru, Naivasha, and Amboseli. Luckily, we see the lions, big cheetahs.
We also have three days trip in Mombasa for relax, so far, the service is great and we trust ETA. I highly recommend ETA, Derrick, and Benson if you guys have any plans to Kenya for safari.

Amazing 6 days in Maasai Mara, Amboseli and Nairobi
My son and I had an unforgettable journey through Kenya—an experience filled with moments and memories we will treasure for a lifetime. Our travel advisor, Wanja, played a pivotal role in making it all possible. She thoughtfully guided us through a range of options, helping us design an itinerary that perfectly matched our vision of a safari and cultural adventure. Her patience and flexibility in accommodating our changes, along with her detailed emails and calls, ensured that we were well prepared before setting out.
On our first morning in Nairobi, Wanja and her team personally met us at our hotel before driving us to Wilson Airport for our flight to the Karen Blixen Camp in the Maasai Mara. Our stay there was nothing short of magical. From the delicious breakfasts and dinners to the attentive service, every detail was carefully considered. The game drives—both morning and evening—were spectacular, giving us the chance to witness wildlife in its natural habitat. Our tent, perched on the banks of the Mara River, offered a unique soundtrack of rushing waters mingled with the grunts of hippos—an unexpectedly calming backdrop to our stay. A highlight was the balloon safari, which provided a breathtaking new perspective of the Maasai Mara that I would recommend to anyone.
From there, we traveled to Amboseli, where we stayed at the beautiful Tawi Lodge. Nestled amid a strikingly arid landscape, our hut was both rustic and luxurious, with views of Mount Kilimanjaro that felt almost surreal. The cuisine and service were world-class—on par with a Michelin-starred restaurant.
Our journey concluded back in Nairobi, where we visited Nairobi National Park and were fortunate enough to see rhinos up close. We also enjoyed a memorable meal at the famed Carnivore restaurant, a true culinary adventure, followed by a visit to the Nairobi National Museum. Learning about Kenya’s colonial past and its path to independence added a deeply enriching layer to our trip.
Looking back, every stop offered something special—whether awe, beauty, or insight—and together they created an extraordinary adventure we will always carry with us. We are deeply grateful to Wanja and her team at Extra Miles Unique Adventures for curating such a seamless, enriching, and joyful experience.

Excellent experience
I had an unforgettable safari experience and I want to thank our amazing guide, Tribon. His knowledge of the wildlife, the parks, and the local culture made the journey truly special. Tribon was not only an excellent driver but also very attentive, patient, and always willing to share interesting facts about every animal and place we encountered.
I highly recommend this safari to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure.

Perfection!
My husband and I just returned from our full day of gorilla trekking in Volcano National Park. We decided to take the trek last minute and reached out to a couple of licensed tour operators and we’re so impressed with how quickly Gorille Africain Tours got back to us. From the beginning, the communication was excellent and timely.
We could not have been more impressed with our tour operator Simon, who was already downstairs at our hotel when we came downstairs at 4:15am. He already had a big smile on his face! He was so lovely and kind and was able to navigate the bumpy dirt roads leading to our hiking trail with ease! What a lovely, lovely gentleman.
If you book with them, you won’t have to worry about a thing. They pack your water, gators (the trek is sooo muddy), will stop for coffee on your way to the park from Kigali, and if you have Simon, you will know he is basically the mayor and knows everybody at every stop. (:
Once we arrived at Volcano National Park, he took care of everything and all we had to do was start hiking. I could not recommend this company enough. ❤️

Tailor-made safari with highly professional staff
I live in Catalonia and I love to travel. This summer we wanted to have an unforgettable trip to Africa, to go on a safari with my wife and our two children. We decided to travel to South Africa.
I searched on the Internet and came across the Safari Bookings portal. Once there, I chose three safari providers that I thought could offer us a tailor-made experience. From the very moment I contacted Elephant Herds, everything just flowed. Communication was quick and easy, and they prepared several versions of the itinerary to adapt to our needs (special thanks to Bev).
We wanted to be picked up as soon as we arrived at Johannesburg airport and taken straight to the Kruger area. The next day, they organized a full day of safari in Kruger. The following day, we did the Panorama Route, adapted with activities for the kids. On the last day, we enjoyed another full day of safari in Kruger, ending with a transfer to Nelspruit, from where we would continue our adventure with other operators.
The resort right next to Kruger was excellent, the restaurant was one of the highlights of the whole trip, and all the services—rangers, drivers, everything—worked punctually and exactly as agreed. Very professional. I had already thanked them by WhatsApp at the end, and I don’t usually write reviews, but in this case it is only fair to do so.
Many thanks,
