I am 85 lyears old wth a cane edgetravel made it possible for me to travel to Botswana alone.
Edge travel was there for me, I could call them at any time of day, and they would check up on me to ask whether I was enjoying myself. Service excellent, once while I was in Botswana and I wanted to change my reservation from one Lodge to another in a different location, they made it possible. They were well beyond my expectation as was the tour it self.
Africa is like the garden of Eden with it's beautiful sunsets, animals you've never seen before, the way a leopard moves, a giraffe at sunset sillouetted against the sky.
Edgetravel made my dream possible, and I'm going back again this October with Edgetravel.

Fantastic trip!!
Our family booked a tour of South Africa with Pembury Tours. We worked with Heidi who was absolutely fantastic to work with! We planned the trip over several months and Heidi suggested an itinerary for us that was perfect! She adjusted it along the way depending on our preferences. She clearly knows the area and accommodations. There was never a time when I emailed her with a question that she didn't get back to me right away. She couldn't have been more helpful!
We started in Cape Town at the Lawhill Apartments which was a great place to see Cape Town from. It was within walking distance of the shops and restaurants in the Marina. Heidi arranged all of our tours, transfers and intra-Africa air. Her suggestions for tours in Cape Town were perfect. We really enjoyed the day of wine tasting and the peninsula tour. Both are not to be missed. Everything was absolutely seamless.....top notch transfers, tours and air.
We stayed at 2 different safari lodges while in Sabi Sands. Kapama Karula was a stunning place....absolutely beautiful and the service was 5 star. We transferred to Sambambili Game lodge which was a small step below Kapama Karula in it's luxury but still a terrific place to stay.
All in all it was a terrific experience for us. We live in the US and it can be a little daunting to make decisions for a big trip like this through an agency that you aren't familiar with. I had read all the reviews for Pembury and felt pretty confident it would all be ok and it was. They did a fantastic job! Thank you, Heidi!!!

Couldn't have done it without Gail at Pembury Tours
I generally do not use any travel agencies or tour operators to plan trips because we kinda like figuring out things on our own where we can really experience different areas, but there is no way that we would have had such a successful trip without Gail's help. She was easy to work with from USA via email and made sure we were all set for our safari. Gail offered so much information that I would not have known (or been able to find online) to help us pick the best place for our trip. It was very easy and all set for us to have transportation to/from the airport and a perfect safari. She even asked if we have any special requests or dietary restrictions that she can inform the safari lodge (which I wouldnt have even thought about). I even researched the rates and found that it was about the same price whether I had Gail's help or not. Would definitely call them again if/when we return to South Africa. Thank you!

Flawless organization of Once in a lifetime experience
Ute organized a fantastic 10 day trip for us - three 2-night stays in Botswana and a 4-day stay in Victoria Falls (including all the transfers). She came out as having best value (price over experience) when I requested quotes from 3 operators. She then worked with us to design customized experience that met our expectations and budget. She sent us very helpful information to help us best prepare for trip. I would recommend her gladly to anybody and would use her again if we traveled in same area.

Great tented 3day safari
We went on a 3 day tented safari with BMS and it was just great. We saw the big 5 and other amazing animals. Food was good and our guide Livingston had an excellent knowledge about the wildlife. Only the drive was quite long but you need to make small sacrifices if you want to see this beautiful peace of nature.

Gorilla track Uganda
My mother and me went to see the Gorilla's in June. It was truly an amazing experience, something we will never forget. Partly this experience was so good due to the great organization of Gorilla bookings and the good company of our tour-guide Ben. They arranged literally everything for us, so we did not have to worry about anything and could just enjoy the beautiful country of Uganda.
This trip has been a blast and I can strongly advise everyone to book with this company. They make your trip very easy.

More experiance with Dunas Safari
I have had the possiblity to join and experiance again the professionell Organisation Team at Dunas Safari.
The complete trip, starting with the car, the different lodges and adventure tours was organized by Dunas and I have to say that it was again very precise and perfectly organized. I was treated very good and all my questions had been answered promptly and if problems occured I got help immediately.
If I would have to mention something special I would recommend to visit the new Lodge La Rochelle. A wonderfull spot with fantastic food and good service. Please book the bush dinner, unforgettable! Thanks to Pedro on site, well done!
Finally again I am looking forward to see this impressive country again and Dunas Safari, with Pedro, Janine, Ivo and the team made this trip just outstanding. Thank you Dunas

A wonderful experience!
Oakland tour and safaris organised a splendid budget safari for us. Our safari guide was most enthusiastic, and the company was very responsive to my email queries.

Fantastic service!
It was a last minute booking and our main condition was a private game viewing vehicle. In google search I have come across krugerpark.com and consultant Ruben helped me to narrow it down to number of suitable places. He worked with us all through the weekend and even at the late hours to make sure that we find the best place for the best price and with the vehicle we wanted. I never thought it will be possible but he did it! We have spend the most amazing weekend in Kapama Karula and I have had a best birthday in my life! And without Ruben it wouldn't have happened.

The most incredible experience of my life.
The tour was incredible, and even despite having various issues with our payment, Edris was incredibly understanding and patient with us, and allowed us to take time to figure out our situation before sending us safely on our way. The sights were breathtaking, our driver was very keen on finding a lion for us and he did! I will never forget this experience and I will definitely be doing another safari with Uzuri again in the near future.
