Our Kruger trip exceeded expecations
Excellent info on the web page but the detailed tailoring was done by Clare who responded promptly to all of our last minute queries. We'd visited Kruger several times before but didn't want to drive nor to rely on catering at Satara camp in particular. So Nikki was our driver, ranger, chef and genial companion. She was irrepressible. Our transfers to private game lodges were prompt, efficient and comfortable. The lodges themselves, - Nottens and Kambaku- were wonderful. Quite different in their ambience but each offering high quality game viewing, great guides and, of course, really comfortable lodges offering far too much food and drink,- which out of politeness we couldn't turn down. Great value for money from Wild Wings. We'd warmly recommend them and will definitely use them again!

Wonderful safari in Amboselli and Masai Mara
Our driver, Simon, with his many years of experience as a tour driver, knew his way around the parks and we saw the Big 5. We had a fantastic time. Lucy (office) was very easy to work with and this trip exceeded our expectations. The 5 day trip was just the right amount of time to be on safari. Accommodations and meals were superb.

Amazing experience
Our African Safari was totally amazing! Our travel agent Gail Hughes booked
our entire trip for us, every detail was planned to our personal preferences, and
beyond our expectations! I highly recommend her and will be using her again for
our next adventures!

Hiking in NP Mount Kenya, and 5-day safari package
Deepforestsafaris prepared an exciting itinerary for us, including a hike in Mount Kenya and a safari tour for a mid-range budget. Since it was our first trip to East Africa we had a lot of questions. The communication was very engaging and reliable before our departure and also throughout the whole trip. We always felt safe and the local guides looked after us well.
To see the sun rise from Point Lenana (4985 m) was awesome. The descent form the summit point, however, was really tough. Next time, we will make sure to hike at a slower pace.
Our safari guide, Sammy, was very knowledgeable and he has a great deal of experience in spotting animals. We witnessed the big migration in Maasai Mara and saw plenty of big cats (cheetahs, leopards, lions). The savannah was very beautiful in august.
Overall, we had a great experience travelling in Kenya!

Great hassle-free experience
I went with my girlfriend to a 2 and half days safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Swahili tours, and words cannot describe how much of an amazing experience it was.
Mr. Jimmy was very helpful through the whole booking process, he helped us get the flights, hotels and the taxi transfers without any extra charges. He also was in permanent contact with us to make sure everything is going well.
The safari itself was just perfect. Our driver Johnathan was very professional informative. He knew every detail about the animals and the environment. I am a curious person who likes to ask questions about everything. And Johnathan answered all my questions gladly.
We also had a good cook (William) who accommodated my girlfriend's vegetarian needs and cooked extra for us when we asked him to do so.
Both the cook and the driver spoke great English.
The tents and covers were clean. But I advise people to take thick clothes because it does get very cold at night.
During the Safari we were provided with many water bottles, so we never felt thirsty.
We managed to see so many animals (except rhinos), and we stopped in a Masai village where we got to see how they lived and met the children in their school.
Unlike what people say, we didn't have any issue with tipping. We tipped whatever we wanted, and the guys did not even check how much we gave. They just put it straight in their pockets and thanked us.
We will, without a doubt, use Swahili's services in our next expeditions in Africa.
Thank you!

Trip of a lifetime thanks to Kerry at Pembury Tours!
It is hard for me to begin… as everything about our trip to Africa was positively perfect. Our dream vacation became a reality and was orchestrated with precision. I will be forever grateful to Kerry R. at Pembury Tours, for organizing our trip.
From the moment we first started to work with Kerry, I knew that she was going to be our angel. She was so incredibly open to our wishes and truly listened to what we wanted. She was not pushy or overbearing. She ably guided us in building our tour without us feeling we had no say. Kerry was flexible, attentive, responsive, and supportive. Our tailor-made itinerary met all of our needs (including keeping the trip to an affordable price and within our budget).
Our trip exceeded all expectations. We traveled to Victoria Falls, had a day trip in Botswana, stayed at a couple of safari lodges in Kruger National Park, and ended in Cape Town and the Winelands. The hotels recommended by Kerry were amazing! The hotel staff, tour guides, etc. were all incredibly friendly and knowledgeable (esp. at Lukimbi Safari Lodge – a must stay place!).
If you are looking to go to Africa at an affordable price and have the time of your life, contact Pembury Tours. The service is incredible. You will not be disappointed!
Kerry – thank you! You are simply the best!!

A must visit destination
A much much awaited review that i was looking forward to put in. Firstly thanks to Ms. Pamela for all the time entertainment she had for us. A group of almost 10 plus with two toddlers isnt an easy task. But Ms. pamela from magical retreats made it possible. The whole group was literally scared to travel to Kenya, specially Nirobi bracuse all the time google only said it wasnt safe. But i would like to memtion this that no where did we feel it was, it was pretty safe. Our trip to Masai mara the most awaited a very beautiful experience, there are no words cannot frame just a sentence to what we have experienced. Its speechless. The hotels provided by Magical Retreats were fantastic and all of them were star hotels. Livingston and Peter our guides and drivers were one fully knowers of all the places and details. Very interactive and personal customer service. They made us literally feel home. Ms Pamela, made sure that all of the suggestion or last minite changes were accommodated and that’s commendable. Thank you Pamela we look forward to visit you soon and i appricate and thank you and your team for this wonderful experinece once in a lifetime.

had no problems during the entire safari.
I had an amazing time and would recommend Migada Adventures to any and everyone if they decide to go to Tanzania. Response to emails were prompt and the service provided was excellent. I loved Sapo Lodge on the Ngorongo crater. Wish I could have stayed there longer! If you do contact Migada Adventures, and i really think you should, then ask for Lawrence as your guide. He is an excellent guide who also speaks 2-3 languages.
