Fantastic
Has a wonderful experience with Splendour. They were responsive, quickly tailored a product to our needs, were flexible with changes and pleasant and lovely from start to finish. They made an effort to help us celebrate a special event in a memorable way and all within our budget range. The safari itself surpassed our expectations. It was incredible. I would recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat

Excellent Just Excellent
We did an 8 day safari organised by Zohar African Safaris that included Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and the Central and Northern Serengeti. The booking process was excellent with Lilian answering all of my millions of questions (and emails) promptly and informatively, with great reassurance that she was taking a direct interest in ensuring that we would have a wonderful experience. Our guide was Solomon who really paid attention to what we liked and adapted our daily itineraries so that it was chock full of what made us happy. We saw EVERYTHING and super close up. It was an amazing experience all around and I highly recommend both Zohar and Solomon.

5 Days Tanzania Safari BIg Five Northern Circuit Tour (private tour 3 people) October 2019
It was a beautiful tour, everything was fine. We were picked up at the airport in Arusha, and then we started. Our guide Isaack showed us a lot of animals. We especially liked the stay in the Serengeti. There we have seen all the animals, Leo, Saved, Leopard, Zebra Elephant etc. even with babies. Isaack has always tried to show us a lot of animals, great. The nights were very nice, we had booked the better luxury tents. It was a perfect safari.
We can only recommend MERU SLOPES TOURS AND SAFARIS.
Thanks again

Texas Desert Girl Meets Djuma Sabi Sands
If you are ever considering a photo Safari in Djuma Sabi Sands area, you MUST book with Legend Safaris. Because of owners Shaheen and Zaheer, their “attention to detail” operation is a well oiled machine from top to bottom. We had sunrise and sunset drives where Ranger Rex and Tracker Mike took us through the different areas to search and find the Big 5. Success! With the help of Zali_photo, we all had our camera settings ready for the best shots. Back at camp, we were generously treated to what I would call Gold Star meals: breakfast, lunch and dinner, no detail left behind. The accommodations were excellent and most of all comfy. Every activity was well planned to a tee. My thankfulness and gratitude towards the staff are beyond words. Because of Legend Safaris, I have a new “Safari family” and fulfilled a lifetime dream. This Texas girl most definitely will return.

Amazing Photographic Safari at Djuma
Traveling from Texas to South Africa was the trip of a lifetime for me. I did not want to go on just any Safari, I wanted to go where I was familiar with the area and the animals. I had been following Zaheer on Instagram for years, so when the opportunity came about to go on a Safari with him, I was eager to jump at the chance and took my sister with me.
We flew into Hoedspruit and were met by Jones, our Transfer pickup arranged by Shaheen. He was delightful and inspiring as he gave us a wonderful chat the entire drive about the History of the area. As soon as we pulled out onto the road leaving the airport we saw Giraffe, Baboons, Elephant, and various antelope on the sides of the road as we drove to Djuma. It was so exciting to see that as soon as your feet touch the ground in South Africa.
Arriving at the Gowrie Gate to the Sabi Sands, we were met by Zaheer and checked in with the Rangers, and then a short drive to the beautiful Djuma Private Game Reserve. Shaheen was awaiting us at the Vuyatela Lodge & Galago Camp. We stayed at the Galego section. The grounds of the lodges were just lovely and landscaped to perfection. Our private bungalow was beautiful and roomy with all the amenities you could desire, from a lovely outdoor shower to a huge indoor deep bathtub for a hot bubble bath, and even chocolate on the pillows with a daily menu of the meals to be served each day. The food served to us 3x a day was AMAZING, to say the least. You never walked away hungry. The ladies of Djuma who cooked and did all the housekeeping can not be left out, they were all fabulous.
Our Djuma guide for the week was Rexon, and our tracker was Mike. They were absolutely the BEST in making every game drive experience memorable. The places you would never believe a vehicle could go thru, Rexon made it easy. He always explained everything in great detail and we learned so much. We had the best of care from the drinks and snacks on the drive to having Rain Ponchos for us when we least expected to have any wet weather.
Our sightings were spectacular...Multiple leopard sightings! Tracking a pride of lions with 9 little cubs and 2 Large Males, resting in the shade on a hot afternoon, watching in awe as the little ones nursed. Following a young leopardess on her morning hunt in the golden light at Sunrise made for beautiful photography. All of the general animals from the birds, to multiple herds of Elephants, Rhino, Impala, Nyala, Kudu, Zebra, Wildebeest, Warthog, Mongoose, Hippo, and Giraffe was all so very special. I have to say, for a Photographic Safari, we were always placed in the most perfect positions to get that once in a lifetime shot, every time. Tracking a drag mark across the road, and through the bush, to find a half-eaten python stashed under a log and followed the tracks to a female leopard with week old cubbies in the den was epic. Following another young leopard from drinking at a pan to settling upon a termite mound at sunset in the background was breathtaking. The perfect African Sunset. Then traveling thru the open wild as the light fades away and parking next to a lone male lion resting in the evening darkness, waiting, as if on cue, to have him lift his head and call out to his pride and his brothers who had gone off far away just absolutely vibrates within your entire body and grabs your soul. Absolute MAGIC!
All the people in our group for the week were just the most lovely individuals. Strangers coming together on Safari, with the love of the animals and the Wild African bush, but at the end of our time, we all left feeling like a family and it was hard to part and say goodbye.
This truly is a wonderful Safari company with very kind, caring, knowledgable, professional individuals. I would highly recommend contacting them to make all your Safari dreams come true. I can't wait to get back and do it all over again.

Amazing experience
My friends and I did a trek of Kilimanjaro and a 7 day safari with Hazina Afrika. We had a wonderful experience. Rama was great at responding and organizing everything for us and our guides and porters were fantastic. Highly recommended.

Raja tours earned our trust and exceeded expectations.
Raja tours organized a 2 week vacation for our family of 4. A week in Zanzibar and 6 days Northern Tanzania parks and Serengeti circuit. I would recommend to friends and family. Prompt shuttles, quality pop roof land cruiser. The guide/driver was safe, respectful to the animals and to us. The tortillis lodge and farm of dreams lodge were fantastic. Raja tours is a small Tanzanian safari company that was responsive to our itinerary requests. For the price, we were able to bring the kids on safari with us. We were expecting a budget tour - but were pleasantly surprised with the high quality lodges and first class service. If you want a quality, affordable safari, skip the foreign companies that merely subcontract Tanzanians and upcharge 30-50%. Go with this small Tanzanian company instead. You won't be disappointed. We saw the great migration and tree climbing lions! Fantastic.

We looked for the best and came up with Pembury , they surpassed all expectations
When we looked for the best tour operators in Africa we came up with Pembury and in many of the reviews Tammy Harding was named. We are lucky to work with Tammy in planning our trip. Never have I ever come across someone so passionate and caring about what they do. Tammy was incredibly responsive to all my questions, and there were lots, she changed things whenever I had doubts and came up with what we thought was perfect. We travelled to Botswana, Vic Falls, Sabi Sands, Cape Town, Rovos rail and Johannesburg. From the minute we arrived at the airport to the moment we said goodbye it truly was exceptional. We were met at every stage by the most wonderful people to help us on our journey, every camp, hotel was out of this world and the food and hospitality second to none. We travelled with my elderly mother and it was her first trip to Africa. We all loved it so much that half way though our holiday we decided we wanted to go back and indeed called Tammy to start the plans for 2020. we have just now confirmed next years trip for 6 of us and I can't tell you how much we are looking forward to it because Tammy has truly gone above and beyond to help us achieve something magical. I had many ideas of what i wanted next year and we worked through every option, every country suggested, every flight connection to make sure we did not spend log times travelling. It was never too much effort.
So what I can say is if you want the best, go to the best and if you want perfection ask for Tammy
