Wunderbar
The service was impeccable. All connections were on time, the host was gracious and knowledgeable and friendly, the scenery majestic, and the menus spectacular. I can't wait to revisit.

Absolutely Amazing Experience!
Our group of four adults spend five days and four nights with Tony and his team, exploring Chobe and Suvuti. Tony arranged for our pick up in Victoria Falls and transfer to Kasane, where he met us and gave us more details about the next five days. We spent two nights camping in Chobe and two nights camping in Suvuti. The drive to Suvuti was long, but absolutely worth it. One reason I choose Tony was his willingness to customize the itinerary and take us to Suvuti, when others weren't willing to do so in such a short period of time. We had the time of our lives. We saw the most incredible, intimate experiences in the wild. At one point Tony followed leopard tracks in the sand and eventually lead us to a leopard in a tree eating it's morning kill! From there, we saw five baby cub lions nursing and playing with their mom and dad. It was so surreal! Definitely recommend Tony and his team.

Professional service run by a team that really puts the client first
We contacted HME to help organise a tour of Cape Town and the region for our group of four. We shared details of our dates, budget, prefered activities and places we were interest in visiting and left the rest to Carlo and his team to organise. They did an amazing job - our whole trip from start to finish went off without a single hitch and we got to stay in amazing lodges and guesthouse and ended up getting to see the “real” South Africa that tourists don’t normally get to experience.

Well planned!
Meshack ensured that our Safari family holiday was well planned. Right from the very start all aspects of the itinerary were kept flexible and as per our request. Highly recommend to request for Daniel as your driver and Stanley as your guide in Masai Mara

Exceeded my expectations
The Mama Savana team was attentive and personal even before we got to TZ and that personal care and attention continued throughout the duration of our safari (2 couples). They booked excellent accommodations and were willing to personalize our experience as much as possible.
I must give a very special commendation to our guide, Allen. He went over and beyond his duty every single day and in no small way made this the most amazing travel experience we ever had. Allen had unbelievable intuition, and the fact that we saw all 5 of the big 5 was in no small part due to his abilities. He also communicated in English very well and taught us some Swahili words. He was fun to be around and in the end I think we all became friends.
I cannot say enough good things about this company and I would encourage everyone to book with this team. They exceeded my expectations.

Fantastic Trip to Victoria Falls, Kruger and Cape Town/Winelands - 15 Days
I worked with Anya from Pembury Tours and she planned the perfect family vacation! I enjoyed working directly with someone who would accept my input to come up with a trip that I knew I would enjoy. With Anya, you can work with her if you have some strong opinions on your trip (like I did) or let her do all the planning. Since I like to have some control, we talked back and forth throughout the planning process to develop the itinerary and the lodging in the 3 locations. Then she did an excellent job of handling all of the details for transfers, continental flights, extra tours if desired etc.
Then we could travel worry free on this trip b/c everything was defined and clearly communicated with a full itinerary and all details/contacts noted. In addition, during the trip I was able to communicate with her via WhatsApp and she responded VERY quickly to any question/concern/comment that I had. She also checked in with me just to make sure everything was ok.
Upon arrival at each destination I was pleasantly surprised at the wonderful hotels/lodges that we were in. They far exceeded my expectations given the cost of the trip.
In addition, at one site, I had accepted an upgrade to a private camp (my mistake, not Anyas). Upon arrival, I was not happy with the seclusion of this came and it was very small. I contacted Anya and she was able to transfer us to the main lodge with in hours. It was WONDERFUL b/c I was worried that we were going to spend 2 nights, of our 15 day trip, in a location where my children would not be happy. I cannot thank her enough for the quick response/resolution to this.
Although I typically like to plan all of the details of my vacation, I found this to be the BEST solution for our trip to South Africa where I do not have a lot of knowledge on the area. Again, she was easy to work with, she listened to may inputs and she took care of ALL of the detatils.
Finally, we were celebrating numerous family events (high school graduation, middle school graduation and a birthday) during this trip. At numerous locations along the way were surprised with wine, champagne and special treats/desserts. My kids said......'I really like this Anya' b/c they did not expect this sort of treatment and they, too, enjoyed all of the lodging.

Everything perfect
When we first looked around we were looking for a earnest local tour operator, possibly with italian talking guides, with a good balance between quality and overall cost. We contacted Savannah Explorers and I was convinced that they were the right one. After the holiday, I am happy to say tha I was right. Everything was perfect: the guide, the hotels, the organization. Strongly recommended!
