It was simply Amazing!!
My family and I (5 people) took a 7 days safari with Africa Gorilla Wild. The driver/ guide, Peter Mugogo was very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. We visited Zziwa Rhino Sanctuary and Murchison Falls National Park, and later transferred to Kibale National park to see Chimpanzees. The climax of our safari was seeing the mountain Gorillas in Mgahinga. Gorilla trekking is a must do when you visit Uganda! I was surprised by how close we interacted with the Gorillas, I had imagined that we would only be able to view them from a distance. I also enjoyed visiting the Batwa tribe, learning about their culture and listening to their music.
We were pleasantly surprised when we chartered a boat to take us to Lake Bunyonyi Lodge and enjoyed viewing the kigezi terraced hills.beautiful
All accommodations were more than adequate, clean rooms with hot showers.
The trip was trouble free. Peter’s safari van was in excellent condition and fully equipped and well stocked . Our two teenagers enjoyed Peter's stories as much as we did. I highly recommend Africa Gorilla wild for its outstanding service at a reasonable price.

Honest & Professional Group of People
Me and my fiancé took a 4 day trip to Masai Mara with Features Africa. It was the best travel experience we ever had in our lives. They have delivered an exceptional service of hospitality from the beginning untill the end of our trip in Kenya. Everything they did for our comfort was above and beyond of our imagination. They even upgraded our hotels/room types, provided beverages in our safari vehicle with no cost and added extra stops to our trip at our request without a problem.
Karanja was extremely helpful before and during the trip, while our guide/driver Anthony was a true professional in his field of work and provided the best opportunities to get close to the animals without being disrespectful to the way of life in the park.
Our trip to Kenya wouldn't have been the same without Features Africa. We would definitely recommend them to any travelers who would require a local help while in Kenya.

Honeymoon to Cape Town, Winelands, Kruger, and Victoria Falls
Heidi at Pembury Tours is the greatest! She was so helpful and quick with all responses in the planning process. She planned us the most amazing honeymoon. I am so glad we used this service because there’s no way I could have organised such a smooth and enjoyable trip on my own. We never once were left waiting on a transfer anywhere. All of our local guides were knowledgeable and respectful. And the safari was a once in a lifetime experience. We saw more incredible anaimals than we imagined possible. I can easily recommend Pembury Tours to anyone looking for a wonderful trip to Africa!

Great experience with fantastic drivers
The safari was planned down to a T and I had regular contact with the company to ensure that everything was as needed. The staff and drivers (Edward and Elisa) were extremely friendly throughout the three days they were with us. They were both fantastic in the Murchison Falls National Park, knowing where to take us to see all the animals, offering to take us put again on the last day and just being absolute stars. I would definitely recommend the company and the drivers to anyone thinking of going on a safari in Uganda.

Camping Safari (with a Twist)
Walter is by far the best travel agent we have had! He is always very good in getting back to us with the information we need in a timely fashion. The communicate level way exceeds our expectation.
The trip was relaxing and we get to see a lot of animals. It is a unique experience than other safaris that we had been on as this move from location to location and you get to see and experience different aspects of the animal, landscape, flora and fauna as we travel. The accommodation is good and we are amazed of the type of food the chef can make in a camp environment. We were totally unplugged from the outside world as there are no internet connection, no electricity etc. Cautions should be taken of your temperature tolerance so you can pick the season that will be best for you as you will have no AC or heating. We went during winter so the morning and the evening were chilly. However, the beddings were very comfortable and we were warm enough except for the brief moments between getting out of bed and putting clothes on. The guide was very knowledgeable and the camp staff were courteous and attentive. Overall a great experience!

Tanja is very flexible, approachable and has been super accommodating and helping out on all fronts
Tanja has helped us (family of 5, three young kids living in SA but orginally from NL) out with our trip through Namibia and Botswana in a very professional way. She found the right balance of advising/steering and accommodating our wishes and was always there for us. She was knowledgeable on the region and about specific places and very efficient. We are very thankful and would certainly recommend her to everyone!

Fantastic experience. We learned so much about life in Uganda from our knowledgable guides
Shoebill safaris provided an excellent service which went beyond our expectations. We felt very well looked after throughout our tour and the team responded well to the needs of our large family group (18 people). The home stay part of the tour gave us an excellent insight into rural life in Uganda. The tour guides were very knowledgable about wildlife, particularly the many amazing birds of Uganda. I would not hesitate to recommend Shoebill safaris to anyone wanting to visit Uganda.

Outstanding Namibia and Botswana specialist
This Windhoek travel agency did an excellent job of booking our three week self-drive thru Namibia and Botswana. We stayed at a mix of higher and mid priced lodges, guest houses and tented camps.
Anita did a great job of booking lodges and activities that we wanted and gave us useful alternatives when needed. She booked airport transfer and really had a good handle on the rental car options/companies.
Their pricing was totally transparent and allowed us to splurge and economize in ways that met our needs.
The initial payment was thru PayPal with main payment thru Visa.
In addition, their website is a good information source for planning.
Highly recommend. I got quotes from Two other companies but they were more expensive. In addition, I really like to support the country that I am visiting vs some folks based in US/Europe.
