Incredible
African Pearl Safaris is excellent in all ways. They respond to inquiries and emails very timely, their package prices are reasonable, and they made good use of time on the safari. Our driver, Herbert, was top-notch in all aspects! The accommodations booked by APS were friendly, clean, surrounded by great views, and close to the attractions.
One issue we had with them was communication indicating when payment was due. They were very helpful in resolving it and handled the matter professionally.
Overall, incredible experience! Would recommend to anyone and would like to use them for future expeditions.

Don't visit South Africa without contacting Mmilo Tours first!
Patrick and his team are top notch professionals, quick to respond, and willing to customize recommendations to meet your preferences and schedule. I recommend him and Mmilo Tours if you want to eliminate the guess work out of planning travel, hotels, car rentals, transfers, safaris and even driving tours. He helped in all aspects, and even arranged for a day-long tour of Jo'berg and Soweto for our family of four.
Every place he recommended was as advertised, or better. Please, save yourself hours of headaches and trust Patrick. He won't let you down.

A journey of a lifetime
The cycle trip was an amazing experience, to see, smell and taste Africa.
There is a good balance between cycle and rest days. And the hotels that we stayed in where good, of course one better than the other. We spend two nights in a tent and that was a really amazing experience, you could hear the hippos eating grass right next to your tent.
The highlight of the trip was for me the Masai Mara, such a beautiful place.
I could go on for ever but the best thing is for you to experience it for yourself.
The people who organized it were very friendly and supporting.
If you wasn't in love with African already you'll be definitely after this trip!!

Positive, happy and helpful attitude from Rene who had prepared the trip to our satisfaction!
Program description matches reality! A fantastic though sometimes physically challenging. Prepare yourself and bring bike parts and tools (and practice using them :)) - you won't find bike parts you need anywhere nearby. Hotels were of good African standard. Temperature during July was like a good Northern European summer so perfect for biking. Bring a sweater for the evenings and a rain jacket and you will be fine. Rene has composed a trip with a lot of variation in landscape, accomodation so you will see Kenya in a very different way than the thousands that drive through Kenya. Thank you Rene for an unforgettable vacation and good luck with the next trip!

The best travel experience ever
At first, it was very hard to select a reliable agency to make sure the trip would be smooth. I was lucky that I found Serene, Lucy always replied E-mail very quickly and for the program arrangement, she gave her professional advises for the sceneries and accommodations. All the accommodations are perfect and her recommendation saved us a lot time, gave us the best spot to see the view and support us have the wonderful experience in Kenya.
Our driver Simon is the best as well, he knows everything about the animals, for all the questions he could give us the best answers! Simon is also a very good driver, he is familiar with all the pathways and could drive us to the best spots to see the animals and he always kept the vehicle very very clean, we felt very comfortable during all the program.
The services and arrangement could not be even better! Serene gave me a wonderful experience in Kenya. Thanks to Lucy and Simon, if it's possible, I want to recommend everyone who want to go to Kenya Serene East Africa Safaris, because they are the best!

Unforgettable Experience with a serious Safari Agency
We booked our Private Safari from France with Lenox who helped us to customize the trip. Lenox had immediatly known what we expected and tried to help us with profesionalism. Lenox is not of those consultant with agresiv approach.
The safari was conform to our expectations and Lenox designed us Dennis as a driver. The relationship with the driver is important for a 7 days Safari. Dennis is not only a driver, his knowledge of Safari and characteristics of Animals was precious. Dennis's know-how is exceptional! He is a friendly guy with a good philosophy " i am happy if you are happy" he always take care of us all along the trip. We recomend you this Agency so serious!

Not recommended
Cominciamo col dire che il rispetto dell'orario non è il punto forte di questo tour operator. Il nostro piano prevedeva che appena arrivati all'aeroporto di Dar Es Salaam alle 6.45 dovessimo partire subito per il Selus Reserve. Invece abbiamo dovuto aspettare un'altra turista alle 7.30. Poi fino alle 9.00 in dar Es Salaam perche il driver doveva ritirare il cibo che serviva al cuoco all'interno del camp. Poi finalmente partenza e a metà starada abbiamo aspettato per circa 1 ora e mezza un altro driver che dava il cambio al nostro. In tutto questo, siamo arrivati all'Hippo camp alle 4.30 p.m. e come pranzo ci è stato servito una coscia di pollo fredda e nera, un piatto di patatine fritte fredde e un pò di insalata. A cena, un piatto di spaghetti alla bolognese immangiabili. il giorno dopo il safari è andato bene anche se il pranzo prevedeva un'altra coscia di pollo fredda e nera, un sandwich, uno yogurt e una banana. L'ultimo giorno, dopo colazione, una breve passeggiata di mezz'ora nei paraggi nel camp, altro viaggio di 5 ore per l'aeroporto. Non consiglio assolutamente questo tour operator.
Let's start by saying that respect for time is not the strong point of this tour operator. Our plan provided that we just arrived at Dar Es Salaam at 6:45 pm and we should leave for Selus Reserve. Instead we had to wait for another tourist at 7.30am. Then until 9:00 am in Es Salaam, because the driver had to pick up the food he needed for the cook inside the camp. Then we finally got off and half starada waited for about 1 and a half hour another driver who changed the way to ours. In all of this, we arrived at Hoppo Camp at 4.30pm. And as a lunch we were served a cold and black chicken thigh, a plate of cold fries and a bit of salad. At dinner, a dish of spaghetti with Bolognese inedible. The next day the safari went well even though the lunch provided another cold and black chicken thigh, a sandwich, a yogurt and a banana. On the last day, after breakfast, a short half-hour walk around the camp, another 5-hour trip to the airport. I absolutely do not recommend this tour operator.
An unforgettable safari and beach holiday in Tanzania
We traveled to Tanzania with my two adult children and my daughter's boyfriend. We all really enjoyed our trip and had a wonderful holiday in Tanzania. Our guide was outstanding and did his utmost to ensure we saw everything there was to see, with excellent views always close to the action. He was also fun to be with and he got on well with all of us. The safari itself was amazing and unforgettable. Our accommodation was excellent and we especially loved the Tortillis camp which, although tented, was gloriously comfortable and exotic.
Thank you for all your hard work on our behalf and for helping to provide a once-in-a-lifetime holiday.
