This was an amazing trip in every respect. A glorious assault on all of our senses!
Thanks to Rose and Sophie for organising this trip for us. The service and level of attention was faultless and all of the logistics involving a numerous organisations and modes of transport was executed like clockwork - quite an achievement in Africa! We have been on safaris before but we will not hesitate to use the Luxury Safari Company next time.

Pembury Tours definitely met and exceeded our expectations.
My wife and I have travelled a lot and are fairly experienced in planning vacations. We had been planning this trip for some time when we ran into reviews of Pembury Tours. We started asking questions; they responded immediately and in a few short days, we ended up with a custom-designed tour to our full satisfaction. All the while, they have been quite responsive and supporting. Kerry, our consultant, has been the most professional one we have ever worked with. She does know a lot about whatever is available and did offer the best combinations with sometimes several alternatives. We added to our plans during the tour, but with Kerry, there were no problems at all; she organised everything within a day, the latest. Four days in Cape Town, three in Livingstone, one night on the way back and another three at Kruger NP. Not a single thing went wrong. All guides were very professional, knowledgable, informative and kind.
Celebrated my 60th birthday among breathtaking scenes, abundant wildlife and luxurious accommodations. This definitely has been an experience of a lifetime, all thanks to Pembury Tours.

We had a great time in Arusha
We joined 4days safari tour, visit Tarangire NP, Ngorongoro, and Serengety. Ｗe enjoyed safari tour without trouble. Meru slopes respond flexibly. After the safari tour, we'd like to visit Moshi to see Mt.Kirimanjaro. But we had enough time. Then, Meru slopes arranged a tour to visit kikretowa hot springs. In the end, it was a day well spent. We can see Mt.kirimanjaro and had a kirimanjaro coffee on the way to the hot springs.

Absolutely incedible safari experience
From the moment we were in contact with Maasai Wanderings to the moment we finished our tour, the service was exceptional. Every touch point of the safari completely exceeded our expectations. Our guide was absolutely fantastic, so generous and knowledgeable. There wasn’t a question we asked that he didn’t know whether it be about the animals, birds or Tanzanian culture. The safari ran seamlessly. All the staff at the camps were so hospitable and welcoming, the safari car was cleaned and spotless every day and managing the itinerary in the initial stages was such an easy process. Everywhere we stayed with Maasai Wanderings was fantastic and every part of the trip totally exceeded our expectations. We would definitely recommend this incredible experience. You receive 5 star service, facilities and accommodation without the hefty price tag. Thank you Maasai Wanderings for the trip of a lifetime.

East African Voyages - Beyond ALL Expectations
Do not choose any other African Safari tour. I cannot even begin to describe the attention to detail and accommodations that are made specifically for you with this company. My husband and I asked for an estimate for the cost of our trip, which we were very happy with. Low and behold - we were the only two people in our safari vehicle along with our guide and driver and could not have felt more accommodated and "spoiled" while on our fantastic journey. Alex and Moses made sure to ask us what the purpose of our trip was - photography - and continually asked how we were feeling about staying out longer, or heading back to our lodge, stopping for a break, lunch, etc. They were happy to join us for dinner and also were completely great about giving us our private time as well.
The coordinator for this company - Faith - cannot be praised enough. She answered quickly and thoroughly all of our many questions and emails and always went above and beyond the call of duty.
I can't even describe the top notch service and accommodations that we had while there. I recommend this company to everyone thinking about going to Africa. I know that for many, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to visit Africa, and I would have no hesitation at all, to send them to East African Voyage. We thought that it was a once in a lifetime trip as well, but now, we cannot wait to go back.
Thank you East African Voyage to exceeding far beyond our expectations!

Great First Safari on a Budget!
We had an amazing experience in the Masai Mara Park. Yet this was only due to the best guid ein the universe, Richard. He showed us the Big 5 and was such a fun guy to be around. In the end your safari will depend on the guide you're getting, so make sure to request Richard when booking!

Excellent Experience, Fantastic Guide
Bestday safaris provided a fantastic experience from start to finish. Their logistics, punctuality, and professionalism was first class, from airport pickup to drop off at the hotel following the safari. Our guide Luis was top notch and genuinely cared about customer service and ensuring a successful, education trip. I would not hesitate to recommend Bestday!

Unforgettable Experience: Professionalism and Availability of Tomodachi Tours and Safaris
We had a fantastic experience in Selous National Park and Zanzibar with Tomodachi Tours e Safaris.
I had a good communication with Joseph, the manager of Tomodachi, to plan our trip and meet our needs. For example, my girlfriend is vegan and had eaten without problem.
Joseph organized everything perfectly: safaris, transferts, accommodation and guided tours. We have always felt safe. Joseph and his staff were always friendly and helpful and allowed us to live an unforgettable experience.The Safari in the Selous reserve was fantastic, we have done 3 type of experiences: walking tour, safari boat and game drive, and we saw many animals.
We stayed in a lodge into the nature, near the river, where you only can hear animals sounds, like monkey and hippos.
Many thanks to Joseph, Thomas and the Tomodachi Tours and Safaris team!

Amazing tour
I cannot recommend this company highly enough, Rachael, our destination specialist, put together an awesome tour. She was very professional and answered every question promptly.
The whole tour was perfectly arranged. We were happy with our hire cars, all of our accommodation, the whole itinerary worked well for us
Unfortunately, we didn’t get to meet Rachael as she went on leave just before our tour started, but her colleague, Angela looked after us in the interim and greeted us in St. lucia. She also arranged a night drive, paid for by TMS, for us in lieu of a boat trip that was cancelled because of bad weather. We didn’t expect this, but much appreciated it.
The self-drive pack, with our own personal book, cell phone with Sth African sim card and the GPS and road atlas, is brilliant and made our journey so much easier.
If (when) we go back to South Africa, TMS will be our first contact. Thank you all so much for a wonderful experience

Great safari experience in Mikumi
Tomodachi actually helped us when we got stuck in mud with our car in Mikumi. They were very nice and also took us to the place where they saw lions in the morning. We did not see them, but were lucky to spot Black-backed jackal which is even more rare than lions. I liked also their approach - their respect and love to the nature
