Amazing experience and a pleasure to work with!
Working with Heidi at Pembury was a real pleasure. We had a lot of back and forth over email while trying to put together a stay in Kruger in South Africa, and she was always prompt in reply and clear in communication, which made me feel at ease while trying to book this trip from a different time zone and country. I don't think I was the easiest client, but she was always professional and definitely made me feel accommodated and taken care of.
We stayed at the breathtaking Ulusaba lodge in Sabi Sands, and she found the best prices I could find anywhere. Transportation to and from the lodge was seamless and professional, even after I had to make some last minute changes due to a tight itinerary.
If we ever do make another trip to South Africa, I will be going straight to Heidi, she was great to work with and I'll be recommending her to everyone else looking to plan a safari as well.

A wonderful trip to Arusha and safari tour.
we travel for 3 days. the first day we were in Arusha and in the second day we drove to Tarangire. in the last day, we drove to Ngorongoro crater.
first, daniel was great. we talked with him via what's up and email and he was kind and answer all our questions with patience. We compare many companies and Daniel gave us the best price and service. He is an honest person and gave us confidence before the trıp and at our stay there!!!
The Safari Driver (sorry but I forgot his name) has a lot of knowledge about the wildlife and nature andHe was a professional and nice.
I must mention we had a small problem on the first night with the hotel but this is a small problem compared to of the excellent trip we experienced.

Our perfect African adventure with Augustine.
It was a well run trip without any problems. It was very easy to communicate with AAAfrica thru email and all our requests were fulfilled.Every lodge we stayed in was better than the last,all the game parks we full of new adventures every day and we saw the Big 5more than once.

They fulfilled nearly all expectations regarding preparation and execution of our challenging Safari
Frank Marandu and his team contributed a lot to making our Safari an unforgettable event. Even challenging wishes were honored. The vehicle was subject to a few minor deficiencies (maybe due to a long high season) in a tecnically good state. The driver gave us a good feeling at all times. The lodges proposed by TaiAdventure were very good. That they were embty at that time of the year could be avoided by offering lower prices for times when tourism is not flourishing automatically. This however seems to be a general deficit in Tanzania and nothing which can be changed by TaiAdventures alone.

Amazing adventure
My husband and I just returned from a 10 day safari with Augustine Minja. We were fortunate to have him as our naturalist, as he is a native Tanzanian and has extensive training and knowledge of the area as well of the flora and fauna. We gave him our budget and he designed a package to fit our needs.
We saw the "Big 5" (10 prides of lions) as well as numerous other animals (2 wildebeests migrations). The lodging and food were top notch.... we were even able to eat fresh fruits and vegetables because of the accomodations he chose.
We found 10 days to be the perfect time and chose the dry season so travel would be a little easier. There is a LOT of dust and roads are quite bumpy, so be prepared. Augustine's motto is "hope, optimism, and patience" in finding animals and for us it paid off.
This was the trip of a lifetime for us and it did not disappoint, because of his careful planning and excellent staff. We highly recommend Augustine's Adventure Africa.

Avocet stars was amazing from start to finish .
Everything i expected and more beginning with a personal pickup from the airport which was essential after a long flight . Also had great communication with jeff before coming out feeling safe and reliable about choosing avocet . 6 day safari is life changing . We had an amazing guide and driver who was well informed on all the different animals and species each national park had . never been so close to a lion and felt safe before doing this safari . Hope to climb kilimjaro soon and feel confident in avocet to assist me in this future journey of mine .

A Memorable Safari
We organised our holidays in December with Features Africa Journeys.
Karanja responded to our request on time with various options and we finally settled for a 06 day tour.
The safari was incredible. The guide was exceptional in finding us the animals!
Kenya is a good choice for a first-time African safari or for all time favorite travellers like us, who call it our second home.
From the Aberdare Ranges and the majestic Mount Kenya, to beautiful and scenic Rift Valley lakes where flocks of flamingos in Lake Baringo, to the Masai Mara Reserve, a personal favorite which offers some of the best all year game viewing in a big eco system.
Our safari ended with some zen moments on Diani beach, which was recently voted one of the finest beaches of the world is also another favorite!
The overall experience, professionalism and service was excellent and exceeded our expectations.
We would not hesitate to recommend Features Africa to anyone looking to travel to Kenya.
We returned home to the Netherlands feeling happy and fullfilled!
Asante sana Features Africa Journeys, we will definitely be back!!!

The experience was good but could be more knowledgeable
Going to the Masai Mara at the end of March was a great idea, the landscape is green, beautiful and few tourists are there.
The tour I booked with Safari Line was worth the price. Food was good, the place where we sleep was okay, otherwise I thought the guide could have told us more about the wildlife and also stop a bit more on the way to see other animals than the big five. This probably depends also on the group you are with.
In general, I think we should be careful not going too close to the wildlife so that we do not disturb them, but it was clearly not the case in Masai Mara, that's also why tourists are happy at the end of the day...
