Amazing experience
We booked a five day safari to Selous and Mikumi NP. Before going on safari we were a bit worried since we didn't have to pay deposit and everything was arranged via whats app. Upon arrival at Dar es Salaam I met the owner of the agency and everything was perfectly fine. They picked us up and together with another couple went to Selous. The first camp was beyond expectations. Great view and the tents were quiet luxurious. The boat safari was great to experience as well. The walking safari is more a bush walk and was quiet disapointing. The game viewing was beyond expectations and we saw many animals. During the five days we had a cook and he made sure that everyday we had good food with fresh ingredients. Our driver William was very helpful and explained us many things. The camp in Mikumi was a bit more basic. The park is less touristic which was nice. Overall, we had a great safari!!

Amazing experience and thoroughly organised
We went to Kenya for a week (5 of us) and Fiona helped organise the whole week including transport from the airport and accomdation to the lakes (which were beautiful), safari parks and game drives. Our driver Peter made our experience the best it could possibly and ensured we saw everything possible including the big 5 more than once. He had outstanding knowledge of the animals and the parks. The accommodation booked at the lakes through shoor were great with hippos in our back garden to beautiful views of the lakes. i would highly recommend this tour company as I couldn't imagine doing it any other way.

What an adventure!
My husband and I absolutely loved our holiday with Lion King Adventures! Right from the start the booking experience was great. No question bothered Anna and she took the time to ensure we felt comfortable confirming all the details over email. Our accommodation was fantastic, and all the places had been checked by Anna and the team to ensure there were in a safe area and were comfortable.
We met Anna and our guide Salehe on our first night in Arusha. We very much appreciated getting to know them, and straight away knew that they would take great care of us. And our 5 day safari didn't disappoint. Salehe was a fantastic guide! Not only did he teach us some handy Swahili, but he took the time to look out for the animals we were really hoping to see and did everything he could to provide us with an incredible experience.
We then flew to Zanzibar - Anna organised all our transfers and we didn't have any issues once there.
We would recommend this tour to anyone. It's personalised, you feel cared for, and it doesn't break the bank. What an experience!

21 days of outstanding adventure in my home country Kenya
First I take this opportunity to thank the ACZ safaris team for their outstanding professionalism throughout the entire process. I have traveled before but I never had such a smooth process from the first email which was replied in a few second to the drop off to my residence in Kenya.
I have been working abroad for five years without a chance to travel to my homeland, Kenya hence when I got a chance to come home this year all I thought was to travel throughout the country with my family.
It started with a single email which was replied by John. I didn't know where exactly to start so it was a little awkward but John worked miracles with the little information I provided intact he just asked how many days I would like to spent in Kenya and within a few minutes he sent a couple of itineraries with different quotes.
I chose one that took me to the famous Masai Mara, mt kenya, Sweetwaters in Nanyuki, lake Nakuru, Lake Bogoria and Baringo Amboseli Tsavo East, lake Naivasha, Samburu and many other places without forgetting the magnificent Diani beach in Mombasa.
The guide was knowledgeable and they chose very good accommodations based on out budget. I am glad I chose them even after reading one bad review about them. I was also disturbed by the fact I had to pay upfront through PayPal however they had other payment options. I don't regret taking this risk as John told me it helped in preparing a smooth process.
Once I go back to work in October I will recommend them to my colleagues and I will be back soon. Thank you so much team ACZ safaris.

Guide + Lodges excellent, vehicle catastrophic
The Safari tour was very well organized, the company delivered everything that was promised. Innocent our driver and guide was excellent. Accommodation was very good, especially Tortilis Camp. The heavy set back was that vehicle - quite old, holes in the bottom pannel, leaking wheaterstripping - even if all windows were closed the dust came into the car, our suitcases were dusty inside - on top of that one gearbox damage and 2 tire blow-outs.
Conclusion: Have a closer look first before climbing the vehicle.

A tour experience like no other
My experience with 'Jossec Tours and Safaris' at Maasai Mara (5 days) is one of the most memorable one out of all I have had in the recent years. They are good in time management, clear and constant communication, and they have experienced tour guides who kept on raising our expectations as we moved along and at the end they never disappointed us. Their tour vans driven by friendly drivers are superb and just perfect for any expedition one would think of. I would personally recommend Jossec Tours and Safaris to anyone of you out there who wishes to spend some quality and exciting holiday anywhere in Kenya.

Exceptional Service For an Unforgettable Trip!
This was a bucket-list trip. When we decided to take the plunge, we talked to friends who had done such a trip. Roar Africa got rave reviews, and we liked the fact that they would be making all arrangement themselves, rather than subcontracting that.
They worked well with us to find a trip that met our budget. And they did an absolutely fabulous job of setting it up, choosing which camps for us to go to, having people help us with all airport transfers (and there were a LOT of them on this trip, and generally answering questions along the way.
It's an expensive trip, but you get what you pay for. If you can afford to go with them do it!

Adventure of a Lifetime
From the very beginning, I knew we would use Pembury to book our 2 week Sabi Sands Safari/Capetown/Winelands/Victoria Falls vacation. Tammy responded within 24 hours to any and all of my questions in great detail, and customized our trip based on our desires. From beginning to end, our visit went off without a hitch - including our various transfers between hotels and airports, meals, and air travel. The pacing was also perfect for my husband and me - we felt we had ample time to rest in between activities and never felt rushed. Tammy booked our safari at Idube in Sabi Sands Game Reserve - an experience that exceeded our expectations. By day 1, we had seen the big 5, and each subsequent game drive was thrilling. If you are seeking expert advice and individualized attention for a private safari vacation (and not have to worry about details), I would recommend Pembury in a heartbeat!
