Very happy with my tour with Richard and Zamunda travels. It was comfortable and Richard is professional, attentive, helpful, informative, everything you would want in a guide. The trip was everything I hoped for. Awesome, clean vehicle as well, great accomodation choices, good food. Highly recommend.

It's worth the price because it's very good.
It was a surprise to find so many animals in Maasai Mara Park. I was able to see the Big Five. The tour guide was excellent and very professional. I recommend Jocky Tours to everyone. Our guide, Francis, deserves high praise!

Supportive of a once in a lifetime adventure!
I worked with Phinorah to organize my trip to Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and Maasai Mara and Simon was my guide. The accommodations at each location were absolutely gorgeous and the game drives were more than fulfilling and fun. Simon was very knowledgeable and we were able to see the Big 5 thanks to his skillful navigation and strategic communication with other game drivers. I would book with him again as he is very kind and experienced. He answered my questions about the wildlife and did his best to put me in close view. I was also able to book a hot air balloon ride over the Mara and would 100000% recommend it. My heart felt so full and gleeful as we flew over the park and watched the sun rise.
As a female solo traveler there were a few moments I felt anxious and uncomfortable with the behavior of certain staff at Amboseli Serena and Ilkeliani Mara (I was asked for my home address by someone who took interest and wanted to “visit” me and was asked about whether black and white people “mix” in the US or live in separate neighborhoods, amongst other strange personal questions about my household and marital status), but Simon and Phinorah made sure to support me and ensure my comfort and safety at every juncture. They reported my discomfort and the managers of both hotels apologized and addressed the situation. Overall I enjoyed my trip to Kenya and would do it again, just maybe not alone.

Tanzania Safari
What a fantastic adventure!
Wow, what an amazing time we had on our safari with Top Selected Tours. The whole experience was faultless from start to finish, with great communication. We managed to see the big 5 plus many more animals. The trip included visits to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongora Crater and Lake Manyara national parks. The safari vehicle was very comfortable despite the bumpy roads. Accommodation was excellent especially the camp in the Serengeti (we didn’t get eaten by any lions).
A massive shout out to our guide Isaya who was brilliant. His knowledge, driving skills and sense of humour were simply the best. I cannot praise Isaya enough and highly recommend both him and Top Selected Tours to anyone thinking of booking a safari to Tanzania.

Good transfer
Our driver Rudzani took us to Hazyview from Johannesburg. He was very polite and told us several interesting facts about Johannesburg’s history on the way there. Snacks were provided and the transfer was on time.

Consistently Exceptional Service and Communication
This is the second time I used Pembury for travel to Southern Africa, and once gain I was delighted. Kerry Ririe was our consultant and she is a delight to work with. This was a milestone birthday trip with me and several extended family members, and every one of us were thrilled with all aspects: lodging, transport, tours… all went without a hitch.
I like that Pembury is based in South Africa, so it’s clear they know the camps/hotels and are giving true on-the-ground intelligence.
Our trip was Cape Town-Timbavati-Sabi Sands-Victoria Falls. A fabulous itinerary!

Incredible experience
We have just had the most amazing 5 days on safari with our wonderful guide Gerald!! We came for our honeymoon hoping for a once in a lifetime experience and we were not disappointed!! From the planning to the very end, the whole team at Serengeti Wakanda have ensured that everything was planned and executed perfectly! Gerald ensured that we saw everything we wanted to and more, and always made sure we were having a good time and had everything we needed. The lodges/camps that they booked for us were absolutely stunning. Thank you to Gerald and the whole team for giving us such a wonderful experience!

African Big Cat Safari could not have been better. The staff and service are outstanding!!!
From the planning to the trip execution, this tour company was wonderful! the accommodations and food, outstanding. However, what made the trip unforgettable for us was our driver Endeni. We were there for photos and he knew exactly the right spots, the right lighting and found every single animal on our list. We got the big five, and much much more. I highly recommend this company. If you're on the fence about taking this trip, go ahead and jump off and book it!!!! I have been around the world and back again, this trip has been the highlight for me, even better then Everest!

Excellent organisation and meticulous planning
Jerome Hotti, is very helpful answering all our questions before we came, and met us on the first day of our safari. He organised our pick up from airport, and with hotel to hold onto our cases until we got back for our onward journey.
We meet our guide/driver Bryson Mchau who was a very good driver completely safe, who gave us information about the areas and the animals, knew exactly where to go and got information on the radio what was going on. Bryson could spot animals way off, whilst driving. The safari jeep was equipped with wifi enabling us to keep in touch also WhatsApping live video to our family. It was also equipped with a fridge which was kept stocked with drinks. We went to the Tarangire national Park first, great place saw loads of animals, then onto Serengeti national Park and Northern Seregeti, where we saw the wilderbeast crossing the Mara mara River great sight loads of animals crossing. Also did balloon flight which Jerone organised too. It was perfect. We also visited the Ngorongoro Crater, a large area with Rhino. At every park you have washrooms so you can stop and go to the loo, they have picnic areas to have lunch and all the lodges supply lunch. All the lodges were great but we especially enjoyed the tented lodge, with wilderbeast and zebra wondering all around our tent and we could hear the lions at night. Food really good here, thanks to Sarah the chef.
Throughout our visit we saw Lions, male, female and cubs. Cheetahs, Leopards, Rhinos, Elephants, Water buffalos, Giraffes, Hippopotami, Warthogs, Crocodiles, Zebras, Wilderbeast, Hyenas as well as many birds and other smaller animals.
The roads in the parks are bumpy but you don't mind as seeing the animals, but the roads to get to the parks are very dusty and bumpy.
