Excellent trip with Ancient Wild Safaris
Our family tour to Kenya on this September-October was really a lifetime experience. Travelling through the wild grasslands of East Africa was like a fantasy. But dreams come true sometimes. Lion, giraffe, zebra, ostrich, cheetah, rhino, elephant, buffalo, deer, wildebeest- thus, the list continues. Actually, it can't be expressed after roaming through a wonderland.
And all this happened with a hassle free experience and 'Ancient Wild Safaris' is entirely responsible for that. Nice arrangements were made for us at Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli and Nairobi. The choice of hotels, resorts and tents were very comfortable as well as the car. And this combined with the friendly attitude of our friends from 'Ancient Wild Safaris'. Before our tour, Mike tirelessly helped us by answering all the detailed questions. He planned a fine itinerary for us. That made the tour. Along our tour Paul and Patrick guided us. They are so nice, that it could not be better.
So, I recommended 'Ancient Wild Safaris' to my friends. And, if next time to Africa, my choice will be definitely the same.

Amazing Experience!!!!
We had an unforgettable tour of Kenya. We were five family members including my seven-year-old son. This was one of my dreams to travel and see the wonderful parks of Kenya. We traveled with three different guides Robinson, James and last but not the least Peter, all of them are fantastic guides. Thank you, Mr. Otieno for all the arrangements and efforts to make our trip a successful one. He upgraded our stay from Lake Nakuru lodge to Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge, which was a pleasant surprise. All the parks Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha were a fantastic experience. I will also like to specially mention about the last day walking safari at Green Crater Lake, our guide Anna was very knowledgeable, I enjoyed walking through the jungle and enjoy wildlife. I would surely recommend them for Safaris in East Africa. For me, they will be my guides for any of my future tour to East Africa.

Excellent service, smooth, safe ,reliable, Encompass do all the hard work we just enjoyed Africa !
The trip of a life time with so much to remember. All the hard work was done by Jono and his team.
Nothing was left to chance it could not have been better, simply faultless. All transfers were effortless and on time we were never left wondering what happens next.
We did 5 Safari parks which we think might have been 1 too many even though each one was quite unique and had different things to offer.The Garden Route was amazing and wish we could have spent a bit more time there.
All the accommodation organised for us was better than we could have hoped for, a real treat, glam camping at its best.

Thank you for the Tanzania Safari
It has been over weeks after come back to Bay Area from Northern Tanzania. The splendid scenes and amazing wildlife of Serengeti are still around my head all the time. It was a great lifetime experience to touch the East Africa nature.
I really appreciate the help from Ben and Aurelie back to early 2015 and then extends over 2 years to this year. They always response my questions quickly, even it is repeated and maybe non-sense, with detailed answers. I know no one that has been in East Africa before. Actually I have no any idea, except the information from the Internet forum, of how this safari will look like . Anyway the 9-day Safari is a great one. It is beyond my expectation. We are lucky to see the wildebeest crossing the river as well as many different species including the big 5. I also have to thank our guide Alladin. He is an experienced "modern hunter" that always bring us to the right places at right time, such as he is the first one to rush to the Masai Mara River to get the best spot to watch the crossing.
Again the trip is great. I am really appreciated the help and services from eTrip Africa. Hope to come back again soon.

7 days mobile safari from Kasane to Maun (Botswana)
All was perfect. We, a couple on honeymoon, were on a mobile safari with a staff of 3 people : a guide, a camp assist (actually the boss of the agency) and a cooking chief.
Very efficient communication before the safari, to elaborate a customized program with all our wishes.
The expedition was a succession of great moments, full of game drives, boat cruises, game walks, mokoro trips and discussions around the fire (the African television).
Monametsi and his collegues were very nice and professional, always doing their best to make us live a real experience.
Camping in the bush among wildlife was amazing, though we always felt safe in the hands of the staff.
The meals were also really good. Experiencing a Stroganoff beef cooked with a bush fire is something!
Unforgettable! We wish you all the best!

Great Trip Perfect in all Ways
We just returned from a 15 day trip to Tanzania, Kenya and Cape Town all arranged by Born Free Safaris. The sights and animals were unbelievable. Alana and her team put together the perfect trip. All arrangements were spot on and we were met everywhere by personable and helpful guides.There was not one hiccup on the entire trip. They took time to listen to our goals and tailored the trip to us. Would use them again in a flash.

Wonderful trip in Kenya
We just came back from 6 days safari game drive in Kenya. This is our second time doing game drive there and we had a wonderful time. John organized the tour for us. The accommodations were great. Kennedy was our driver. He was excellent. We saw a lot of animals (big 5 in one trip) which was amazing. This is our 4th safari trip and the only time we got to see big 5 in one trip. Kennedy suggested us to do boat safari in the lake on our way to Masai mara and that was great. We saw so many hippos. We had great experiences with this tour company and we would use it again for our next safari trip in Tanzania. Thanks John and Kennedy!!!!

Very friendly, knowledgeable and efficient Tour Operator
We have recently returned from a two week tailor made holiday organised by Susan Paterson Wait of Pembury Tours. Susan provided suggestions and options of accommodation during the various sectors of our holiday along with providing the necessary immigration and entry visa requirements to the various countries visited.
Subsequently all our accommodation, transfers and tours during our whole holiday were organised by Pembury Tours & all went like clockwork.
Our holiday initially comprised of three nights in Ilala Lodge, Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe and included a day trip to Chobe National Park in Botswana.
From Victoria Falls we flew to Nelspruit, Mpumalanga, and stayed one night at the wonderful Oliver's Restaurant & Lodge where we met by the manager Amanda who allocated us a wonderful spacious room. The friendly greeting from Amanda was extended to us by all the staff we met. The food in the Restaurant was amazing and was of excellent quality and value.
Our Holiday continued with a transfer and a 3 night stay at Arathusa Safari Lodge in Sabi Sands. We were given a freindly greeting by the always helpful reception staff and showed to our delightful lodge. Once again all the staff we met were so friendly, the food was really good, the bar had a decent selection and was good and the Safari Drives were excellent. Thanks to Sebastian our Ranger and Solley our tracker for giving us a wonderful wildlife experience with lots of stories, memories, photographs and appreciation for the beautiful wildlife. A big thanks also to all the staff at Arathusa.
The final leg of our holiday was a transfer, flight and then a 6 night stay at the Table Bay Hotel, Cape Town. What a wonderful hotel on the V&A waterfront and what a wonderful city. Lots to do in Cape Town and plenty of good quality dining restaurants for a relaxing meal or a quick bite to eat. The 6 days we visited, Cape Point, Robben Is., City Tour including history of S.A. & Cape Town, Table Mountain, Wine tasting tour to mention just a few. A great city to visit.
Finally we would highly recommend Pembury Tours and a special mention to Susan for arranging this holiday for us and having the patience with us. Thanks for providing such a memorable experience of Africa, the wildlife on Safari and the people we met at the Lodges, Hotels, Tour Guides and Transfer Drivers.
Sandra & Adrian.
