Trip of a Lifetime
My husband and I just returned from the most amazing trip to South Africa. We worked with Tammy over the course of four months to plan the trip and everything went so smoothly. Tammy was the best person to work with - she gave great advice, always responded very promptly (and I asked a TON of questions), was always cheerful and was someone I trusted completely.
Because we booked a bit last minute and it was the high season, Tammy had to work extra hard to get us in places (hotels, tours, etc.), and we were so lucky to have stayed at the places we did, due to her hard work. Normally we like to plan trips ourselves, but I know we would have missed out on so much had we not worked with Tammy.
We already miss Cape Town, the Winelands and our amazing Kruger safari! We don't normally repeat destinations, but South Africa is already back on our list!
My two pieces of advice for your trip are: 1) Go for as many days as you can - there is so much do see and do; 2) Work with Pembury to make the most of those days!

One of the most wonderful experiences of my life
Antony Gitau of Tazama Africa Holidays was what made our trip to Kenya so memorable. He is an amazing guide and guy. He was always full of energy and enthusiasm and his wildlife knowledge is second to none. He made our safari the incredible experience it was. Thankyou Antony. I would highly recommend his service to anyone. He was amazing. Our favorite guide by far.

enjoyable adventurous safari
When you book directly a safari with a local tour operator, with no real references, you wonder how much you can rely on them. I did rely, and I was not dissapointed. They came to pick me up at the airport, brought me to the hotel. And the next day, off we went on a 7 days tour full of surprises, with a four wheeler (which could have been a bit more recent). Everything on the programm has been delivered by Hello Tanzania. Mwajabu was a nice, cooperative and reactive organisor, and Moses has been a wonderful, helpfull and safe driver/guide. Lodging was fine.
We toured Selous Game Reserve - Mikumi National Park - Udzungwa Mountains (hiking and a swimm !) - Ruaha National Park. But the drive back from Ruaha to Dar es Salaam, and that was MY mistake as it was my wish, is a hell of a long drive.
I would recommand this operator which you can trust.

Excellent, and so easy!

Our five-day-safari was excellently prepared and performed by a very competent German speaking guide
We - two couples from Germany in their 70s and 80s - had a great time. The route of our journey and the overnight lodges were well chosen - well kept places with African flavour and international cooking. We must mention the excellency of our guide: 23year old Tansanian Hilary Chrispine impressed us with his knowledge about wild life, plants and the history of the country. He was sensitive, polite an good humoured. He speaks German and English fluently. We highly recomment Furahia-Tansania-Co.

Great safari experience with an honoust and reliable tour operator
Last December we had an amazing 5 days safari with our guide Titho and cook Joseph. Titho is a very reliable and calm driver. He is a very nature loving expert with quite some years of experience and has an excellent eye for wild life spotting. We actually were the first to arrive at many encounters with animals. Very special! Meanwhile cook Joseph prepared the best meals for us. His soups are delicious, and they were only the starter of the three course dinner we had every evening. Plenty of food, always fresh and homemade.
Robert is the very reliable owner of the company. He really knows how to give a personal touch during the moments of contact over email and but also during our meeting in Arusha. He is quick with his response and in arranging the right little things to make your safari the best!

Our family had seen all of the animals we wanted to, plus more!
We had booked our trip half a year before, and when the time had come to go to Tanzania, we were all so excited. We want to go back in the future . Our guide, Daniel, had very sharp eyes, and potted all of the Big 5, which were lions, leopards, buffalo, rhinos, and elephants. We also saw the Ugly 5, baboons, crocodiles, marabou storks, wildebeests, and hyenas. The migration of wildebeests and zebras were astoundingly fascinating. we lived in all 5-star places, tented camp or lodge. The food was very delicious. And as we said, we look forward to later in the future with Makasa. Thank you so much Selma and Daniel!!!! Ye family.

Excellent Experience
Our group had a wonderful experience with Kibera Safaris. They were very professional and gracious to our team. They also went above and beyond by driving us to some of the markets in Nairobi, which was not part of the original plan. Throughout the process they were responsive and helpful in every way. I highly recommend them.

Exceptional
Everything about our experience with Wildebeest was good, from their determination to make sure we saw all of the Big 5 (which we did!), to their concern for our comfort and enjoyment, to their friendly manner. Noah, Godfrey, and Elfas are pros and nice guys, to boot. Would recommend to anyone.
