Great tour organizer
Had a brilliant day trip to the safari park. Really enjoyed the nature and animals.
Definitely recommend to do if you have a day free in JNB and the tour company and driver are very professional.

Surpassed expectations, with no hesitation in recommending
We booked a four day safari with Spirit of Kenya. From the first moment of booking, to the end of our trip, we were provided with exceptional, reliable and first class service.
Andre coordinated our booking and made sure we were comfortable and informed at every single point. The accommodation was exceptional (with the exception of one place which was not Andre's fault but he rectified the issue pleasantly and quickly).
However, the very best part of our safari was our driver, Rufus. He was on time, every single time, and added so much more to our safari. He had phenomenal knowledge of the animals, flora and fauna and we thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent with him. He was also a very skilled driver, and with a strong network of other drivers, we managed to see so many animals - but respectfully, which was important to us, and Rufus.
The safari itself was excellent, and surpassed expectations - we went to Tsavo East and West, and Amboseli. Each park brings something different, and I'd recommend this trip for others wanting a 4-day adventure.
For an incredibly good value safari, with an expert, safe and reliable tour operator, I would thoroughly recommend Spirit of Kenya, Andre and Rufus without a single hesitation.

Trip of a Lifetime!
Five friends and I had an African Safari that was absolutely amazing! Thanks to George Killas and his wonderful tour company Terrain Tanzania Safaris we saw the "Big 5" and more!. Wild animals in their natural habitat and the gorgeous surroundings of the African terrain with sunrise and sunset views were just unbelievable. George Killas knows his stuff. He has serious knowledge of all that is Africa. Animals, history, tribes, he knows the answers and he can find the most elusive animals. On the last day of our tour with him we found the very elusive Rhinos and took some amazing photos. It is not just about the photos, but to be so close to these amazing animals and to be quiet and watch is such a privilege to see and be there, an absolute once in a lifetime experience! I want to go back!!! I highly recommend George Killas and his fabulous company Terrain Tanzania Safaris, you will not be disappointed.

Great experience
Me and my family did a 2 night, 3 days safari. We stayed in Balule National Park, which is really close to Kruger. Everything was great, transportation was on time, hotel was good, food was delicious, the safari guides were very kind and experienced. Just on the first ride we were able to spot 4 of the big 5. We just had an awesome time.

An Unforgettable Tanzania Safari
My recent safari adventure in Tanzania with Travel Wise Safari was truly unforgettable! From start to finish, everything was meticulously organized and exceeded my expectations.
Our guide, David, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about wildlife. He expertly led us through Tanzania's stunning landscapes, where we witnessed incredible wildlife sightings in iconic national parks like Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater.
The accommodations provided by Travel Wise Safari were exceptional. Each lodge and camp not only offered comfort but also immersed us in nature, creating a genuine connection to the wilderness. The friendly and attentive staff ensured our stay was unforgettable.
I was particularly impressed by Travel Wise Safari's commitment to responsible tourism. Their emphasis on environmental conservation and support for local communities allowed us to engage meaningfully with the local culture.
I highly recommend Travel Wise Safari to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. Their attention to detail, exceptional guides, and dedication to ethical travel set them apart. This journey was a dream come true, and I will treasure the memories forever. Thank you, Travel Wise Safari, for an incredible experience!

Simply the Best!
During 17 days (28/Apr-14/May 2023), a Group of 9 people from Portugal have joined a tailor made trip developed by myself and Ms. Heidi Bedford, from Cape Town to Johannesburg, crossing the Winery lands, Garden Route, Knysna, Port Elizabeth, Chintsa beaches, Drakensberg Mountains (Lesotho), Durban, St. Lucia, Eswatini and Kruger NP.
We are travelling a lot, but for the 1st time, I have the "necessity" to send our feedback in order to point out our tremendous satisfaction with "Pembury Tours" and namely, the Senior Tour Consultant, Ms. Heidi Bedford!!!
Since our first contact, already in February this year, till several days after the end of our tour, Heidi was an amazing person in supporting us and doing everything possible to give us a great and unique experience. We will never forget her top professionalism, kindness and dedication to our satisfaction!
Now, after the end of the tour we realize 100%, how valuable were her suggestions and tips, in fact she knows the "ground" and she is very attentive in order to introduce us the best "value for money" options.
Many thanks!

Super tour to Moremi National Park
As a solo traveller, I was struggling to find a tour to join. Ousie came to see me at my hotel and run through options, setting me up with a vehicle and a superb driver/guide in Tex. Even provided gluten free food options, which were much needed.
Was glad of the advanced warning for the distance though, including the bumpy, dusty road to the park.

Very patient, respectful and makes good effort.
It was as a lovely experience going on a Safari with Obag African Safaris. My partner and I visited the Nyerere (Selous) National Park in April 2023, which happens to be a low season and Eid fasting period. We were lucky that it didn't rain during our time at the park. We had close encounter with girraffes, zebras, monkeys, rhinoceros and buffaloes
But, it wasn't quite a big five experience, as we didn't get to see lions and leopards. Obed tried his best to find the lions but we gave up after several hours of searching.
A bit gutted with the Selous national park, as the management team needs to figure out how to make the lions and leopards visible in the parks. The road from Dar Es Salaam to the parks was very bumpy and tiresome after a 4 hours ride to the park.
I highly recommend Obag African Safaris but won't recommend Selous national park for anyone hoping to get the sort of experience that you will find in the Kruger national park

Great budget safari company with good communication
Bluerange Connect are reliable, friendly and knowledgeable. We had great communication before & during our 6 day trip and the budget tour exceeded our expectations. Guided tours of the chosen game parks were excellent & our driver was very knowledgeable. The accommodation was very comfortable with our hosts giving clear & concise guide lines regarding times of power outages, dinner time etc. Limited Wifi was available at most camps. I can definitely recommend Bluerange Connect for an honest budget safari with great service
