Superb driver, amazing lodgings and safari!
From the minute I asked for a quote for a 2night, 3 day safari, Mustafa tours gave me all the information I needed and excellent options.
The safari didn’t disappoint and Caroline’s communication was excellent and quick. She assigned us a superb driver (Collin) and he made sure every part of our tour was incredible. He did everything to help us see the big 5 and we saw some other magical things.
We stayed at Zebra Plaines and the staff and food were fantastic too. Much more luxurious than I imagined.
Highly recommend!

an excellent choice for a safari in TZ!
We, a couple, booked 4 days group-safari at Travel Africa Safari Agency. It was our first trip to Africa, therefore we did a lot of research before. Based on many positive reviews we chose the Travel Africa Safari Agency and we didn't regret it!
First of all, the communication with Mohamed was very easy. He answered any questions quickly and was always available, both per Mail and per WhatsApp.
We were picked up from the Kilimanjaro airport and spent the night before the safari at the Arusha Tourists Inn Hotel (it was included in the safari booking). The hotel was ok. It is situated rather central in Arusha. The room and bathroom were spacy and clean. We could order something to eat at the hotel's restaurant although it was already late and drank a beer before going to sleep.
Next day we were early picked up by Benjamin, who was our guide and driver for the safari. He was very friendly, easy-going and good-humoured.
After we had picked up another 2 couples in Arusha, our safari has started. We drove first to Maniara, where we picked up our chef and all the stuff, what is needed for safari.
After that we drove to the Serengeti National Park. There we spent a night at the camping ground. Next day very early we made a game-drive until midday. We saw plenty of wildebeests and zebras, many hyenas, lions and hippos etc. After lunch at the Camping Site we drove to Ngorongoro. There we spent another night at a camping ground near the Caldera. Next day, again very early we went to the Caldera. It was fascinating to be in an enclosed little world! There we saw also a rhino and of course many other fascinating animals! After lunch at the Camping Site we drove to Maniara, where we spent a night at the Fig Lodge - a nice, clean and cosy hotel. The next morning we went to the Tarangire National Park. There we saw especially many elephants. In the afternoon we were brought back to the Arusha Tourists Inn hotel for the last night before going to Zanzibar.
We would like to thank Mohamed for the excellent safari! It was at any case worth the price we paid! Our driver Benjamin was very competent and also very eager to find so many animals as possible! Unfortunately we didn't see a leopard, but nevertheless the whole safari was just amazing and so much fun! We can hardly recommend Benjamin as a perfect safari guide!
Our tent was good. Actualy, the most exciting thing about camping was a real closeness to the wilderness. During the night some animals, such as zebras even went through the Camping Site! And the stargazing was incredible! The shower at Serengeti camp was a cold one, but it made adventure feeling even more exciting. Our chef was also excellent. He prepared every meal fresh. We had always yummy Pancakes and omelett for breakfast and other food was also very good. We had even a pizza for dinner - don't know how it is possible without an oven.
We are glad to have booked this safari at Mohamed and his Travel Africa Safari Agency. It will be one of our most precious memories!

Excellent professional service, highly recommended
Maurice is very knowledgeable about the animals and where to find them close up. He is also very calm and patient driver and guide. We were able to see everything we want and he is very accommodating to changes to suit our liking.

Wonderful Honeymoon with Soul of Tanzania
We are very glad that we booked our honeymoon in Tanzania via Soul of Tanzania.
Everything was perfectly organized – from the transfers and guided tour to the hotel bookings. Also, a big plus were the fast responses from Jose to all our enquiries via e-mail and flexibility regarding our change of plans and accommodation requests.
As for our safari tour, we were extremely lucky to find our favorite animals - the cheetah and the hippo - several times during the 5-day trip.
Our guide Emmanuel was knowledgeable and he explained a lot about the wildlife as well as the African culture, especially the Maasai way of living as we visited one of their villages. He made sure we are always well fed during our trips, was always willing to take pictures of us (and with us) and adjust the schedule according to our wishes. Really excellent guide!
The hotels were informed that we are on our honeymoon, so some of them prepared nice surprises.
We would like to thank everyone involved for making our most important trip a truly unforgettable experience. Asante sana!
We will be back someday.

3 amazing days !
We spent 3 memorable safari days between Lake Manyara, Tarangire and Ngorongoro with our guide, Thomas! Too bad we couldn't see more animals in Tarangire because they were most certainly hiding. Otherwise, everything was perfect from start to finish.

Amazing Tanzania safari
Beyond expectations! We got an amazing guide Peter with which we had amazing conversation, all accommodations were top notch, good food (would have liked to experience more of the local food maybe) and I’m happy to say we saw all the animals we wanted and then some. December is a good month to visit Tanzania. Thank you so much Erick for arrange our trip, we had a blast! We couldn’t have had a better experience! I highly recommend Alpine chat adventure.

Incredable Once in a Lifetime Trip - Thanks Pembury!
I can’t say enough good things about Pembury overall, and the personalized elite service provided by Heidi (our contact person).
Pembury’s website provided excellent detail and usability. I was able to come up with a tentative plan just based on the extensive information available.
The prices they were able to quote were below every other safari booking service that I checked with, and therefore, I can’t imagine a better value!
We explained to Heidi upfront that we had a unique opportunity that included a month of holiday time, and consequently, we wanted to take a once-in-a-lifetime trip to South Africa. Heidi provided us with several options, highlighted areas that she felt couldn’t be skipped, and outlined trade-offs when it came to other experiences. She was great about asking for preferences, and trying to figure out exactly where we felt it was worth paying a little more for something that would make a huge difference for us personally vs a luxury we didn’t think we needed.
All of that said, the biggest reason to go with Pembury is the exceptional level of personalized service. The email response time on Heidi’s part was excellent throughout the onboarding and payment process, and was top notch throughout our trip. She was able to aggregate information from other Pembury customers and get up-to-the-day feedback that she could use to adapt our itinerary if we were so inclined. Consequently, we weren’t stuck reading reviews from 3+ years ago, and left with subpar decisions as circumstances changed on the ground.
Every single one of the activities and accommodations provided by Heidi more than lived up to their billing and we couldn’t be happier with our choice of Pembury to plan our holiday!

Reliable.
We booked for a trip to masai mara. On the day of travel, the van was on time and a very friendly driver picked my family and drove us to our destination. We had a few stop overs on our way to enjoy mother nature's sceneries. The tours in masai mara we're wonderful, took lots of pics with the family. It was an excellent vacation.
