Wonderful experience!
My wife and I had an amazing time on safari and in Zanzibar! We will never forget the trip and hello Tanzania really went the extra mile to make sure we were taken care of. Highly recommend! Our safari guide, Charles, was one of the trip highlights!

Well Recommended!!!
We visited Kenya in February and our safari took us from Nairobi to Kericho for the Tea farms as am a tea lover and always wanted to see the farms then to Kakamega forest as my husband loves the birds and walking. We wanted a non tourist route to avoid congestion but we had to see Masai Mara and the wildlife and it was fantastic. Our guide was amazing with our teenage boys as they bonded very well. The safari was well organised by Zippy and her team and the level of service was beyond our expectation , we were really touched by the generosity and the effort that went to make our safari a success. Asante!!(Thank you)

Well Thought Out Itinerary
Pembury Tours (thank you Kerry!) provided us a well thought out itinerary. From the time we landed in South Africa to when we left in Johanessburg - it was a smooth trip. The guides were knowledgeable. The accommodation picked up for us was great specially Nottens Bush Camp in Kruger. We didn't know what to expect on our first safari but it exceeded our expectation. Kerry was able to provide suggestions so we can fill in our days with activities without being hectic. The transfers were easy even if we have to go thru Passport control. Kerry was easy to work with and very prompt. She was patient answering our unending questions . I would highly recommend Pembury Tours to anyone.

The tour exceeded the high expectations I had. Highly recommended.
Everything from the initial contact I made via email until the driver dropped us off in Nairobi at the end of the trip was excellent.
Our driver (Arony) was friendly, welcoming and a pleasure to spend our 4 day Masai Mara trip with. He got us into the best positions to see all the big animals up close, even taking into consideration the position of the sun for top quality photos! I felt he went beyond his duty to ensure we had a great experience.
The food, especially in the camp we stayed in, was delicious. The tents we stayed in were also of high quality. Better than I had expected.
All in all, if I was going to do a safari again in Kenya, I would choose Karibou again, and would request Arony as the driver.

Outstanding safari delivers more than expected service.
From first contact to seeing me off at the airport 2 weeks after my tour ended, Zippy, Evans, John and Robinson looked after my every need. Zippy called daily to the crew to find out how I was and spoke to me directly on occasion to ensure that I was happy and comfy. No breakdowns, no accidents, everything went smoothly and the itinerary was well planned and followed. John provided great meals, and we even shopped together which I enjoyed. The vehicle even has wi-fi! Evans is an expert guide and is very passionate about his vocation. We had 9 days of unforgettable game viewing and site seeing. I was so happy with Australken that I hired a driver for 2 days of touring around Nairobi at the end of my stay in Kenya. Not only did I have Robinson to drive but John came as well and we had a great time together. I have been on several safaris prior and rate this one as the best one thus far and highly recommend Australken.
Botswana and Vic Falls
Kiboko helped us plan an excellent safari in the Okavango delta as well as Chobe and Victoria Falls. Would definitely recommend, especially the Okavango

Best adventure with the most awesome guide!
I booked the tour with my hostel and it went perfect without having to organize a thing. I got picked up on point, had very nice perople to go with us and a super nice guide. The cooking was great, the tours were even better. This is (about) the only tour who brings you right to big daddy so you can climb it (without having to pay extra). I am so glad I saw the desert with wild dog safari! Thanks for the memories!

AN ADVENTURE TO RECALL ANYTIME!!!
What can I say!! , First I would like to appreciate the gesture that Across the wild Tours offered to us, its my 3rd safari and I have never had a chance to be given a mobile phone with any other tour operator but Across gave us a cell phone with some talk time in it this is the way to go it really made us feel connected with them and avoided any doubt of no communications Bravo Fina! that was special.
This was the best trip we have ever had. The whole trip was so amazing, everything from the hotels to game drives and the animals we liked it. Watching those amazing animals was one of the best experiences and a memory that will stay with me forever .The service of the driver guide Steve we vote him first rate. He was our best guide, and we found him to be not only incredibly but also extremely kind and charming to be with. He also has very wide wild eyes to be able to find animals wherever they are hiding. It was a private trip and each day was better than the yesterday as we could always sit down with Steve to plan on how to go about the next day, so we were always surprised by new and exciting experiences. The safari was so amazing, We saw many animals, others up close making it easier to take photos.
We have visited many places in the world but Kenya has just stolen our hearts. Fina and Steve. Thank you to you both for making our trip a memorable one.

Ten days of dream: Kalahari desert, Boteti river and Nxai Pan.
A mobile safari with a fantastic guide and the best cook in the Bush.
Landscapes worthy of the birth of the world, the encounter with wildlife, here is what I lived during ten days.
An unforgettable experience that allowed me to discover the Kalahari desert with its extraordinary fauna and flora (cheetahs, oryx, giraffes, zebras, steenbok... and a multitude of birds...), travel along the banks of the Boteti River to observe hundreds of elephants and two hunting lionesses and enjoy the vastness of the Nxai Pan with its flights of flamingos, white elephants and giraffes.
The pleasure of returning to camp each evening to spend a beautiful moment of sharing with the guide around the fire observing the Milky Way and the stars and being awakened in the middle of the night by the roar of the lion.
Thanks Eddy, Guidéon and Methéo. Everything was perfect, the equipment (tent, car, food) and your services.
