Unforgettable
The trip lasted 8 nights in total. Emanuel was waiting for us at the Kilimanjaro airport when we arrived. He took us to Christina House for the first night. There they treated us first class. The food, typical of the place, was very rich. We went to the Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara and Serengeti. In the serengeti we stayed at the tented camp Serengeti Heritage for four nights. It is in the middle of the serengeti, surrounded by animals that pass meters away from you. To leave the tent it is necessary to warn the guard by means of a walkie-talkie to escort you to the dining room. At night all animals are heard and very close. The attention in the tented camp is exceptional. The food very good. The great migration is a unique spectacle. Then we went back to Arusha for the last night where Emanuel took us to eat typical barbecue from there, spectacular. The truck is a very comfortable Land Cruiser, there is plenty of space for the legs and has a refrigerator to store water and beer. It has a lifting roof so you have a 360 view. As for Emanuel, our guide, I only have words of thanks. Always smiling and well predisposed to everything we asked. He showed us all the animals we asked for (including the big five) and explained in detail the behavior, feeding, etc. of each of them. When the safari was over, he took us to have a few beers in a pantry (that only guides or locals go) in the Serengeti watching the sun go down, incredible. We were able to see lion and cheetah hunts. Lions mating. I will definitely go back and ask that the guide be emanuel again. Thank you very much.

Four day safari to Samburu reserve
Service and logistics were excellent throughout, from the initial propositions and subsequent booking, to the airport pick-up, and the wonderful visit to Samburu.
Our driver/guide was knowledgable, excellent company, and always prepared to go the last mile to enhance our experience in the reserve.
Heartfelt thanks to the team at Flight and Safaris!

Pilansberg Day Tour
Brilliant private tour... Williem was amazing and had all the knowledge we could expect.
We even got a brief history of South Africa and the park. The highligh was the baby rhino we spotted... Most memorable...
Got 3/5 Big 5 but was an amazing experience. Will go again to cross out the other 2.

Outstanding Luxurious Safari and Beach Honeymoon
My wife and I just came back from our honeymoon, consisting of 2 nights in a Rhino conservancy in Lewa followed by 3 nights in the Masai Mara before finishing on the white sandy beache of a private island in Zanzibar. You know when some people just know what you want and you don’t need to explain much, that’s the special treatment we got with the Luxury Safari Company. Everything was planned to the smallest detail and went on smoothly, no stress at all, we didn’t even feel things were planned in advance. Top notch luxury in terms of food, treats, service, accomodation, transportation.....and all without show off, truly unforgettabe experience....!

amazing honeymoon trip!
we booked a 5 day honeymoon tour via Shemeji. The communication via email was good and fast. Our guide was really nice and tried to spot all the animals we wanted to see. Also we really felt like being on a honeymoon!:) we also booked a citytour and a daytour to Arusha and both tours were really nice as well!

Roger is tremendous at planning a great safari
Roger from Safarilifestyles.com was great planning our safari. He listened to exactly what we wanted (game key more than amenities), answered a multitude of questions via email, made suggestions, and changed things as needed. His website is excellent and his follow-up making sure everything worked perfectly was great. I was nervous wiring a large amount of money across the world but need not have been, everything was delivered as ordered.

Spectacular Cape Town, Safari, Vicotria Falls Trip
I researched a number of travel companies -- including several from this site -- and settled on Pembury for their price, reviews, and responsiveness. Laurette organized an exceptional trip for us: we loved all our accommodations -- had the luxury African feel we were hoping for. In Cape Town, we stayed at the Victoria & Alfred hotel: great location and wonderful restaurants close by. We had the same private guide from airport pick up, three days of tours, and airport drop off, which was perfect.
Our Safari was at Arathusa Safari Lodge in Sabi Sands. Such an amazing experience -- my friends who've been on safari were surprised by how close we were to all the animals (elephants drinking from our private splash pool at our room, lions and leopards literally walking around and underneath our jeep). And Elephant Camp in Zimbabwe (Victoria Falls) was a dream -- wish we'd spent more time there! After seeing all my pics and videos on Facebook, several friends have already asked me to send my itinerary and travel planner info to them.
I've travelled extensively, 45-50 countries, and generally make all my arrangements myself. But since I've never done a safari and wasn't familiar with these countries, I went through a travel agency and am very glad I did. I always felt safe and all the details were handled. But even now, I would not tackle this on my own; a travel agency is a must -- there's just too many details/transfers and such to safely tackle on your own.
This was an unforgettable experience, and our group was delighted with Pembury, and Laurette!

Refreshing and safe
This trip went well above my expectations : each passenger has a window seat, the roof of the van was amovible so that we could have a panorama view. The accomodation was good and camp|hotel staff very nice. And above all, Edward the driver was fun, professional and reliable. He made the trip as smooth as possible. Today, he even lets us depart from the Nakuru park 1 hour later because we wanted to enjoy lions and girafes. Great Service.
