Unethical business practices
The director, Naphtally, accepted our payments in advance. Upon the very morning of the start of our safari, the local tour guide showed up with Naphtally on the phone. He claimed the government was slow in allowing bank transfers into the country, etc. He asked that we pay for the park fees in advance with our credit card and that he would in turn reimburse us for the different at the end of the tour. In fact, he has not paid the tour guide, the local operator, or us. It is unfortunate because he gives tourists a bad feeling about all local companies which is unfair and unethical. Do NOT give this company any of your money or business.

Very personal service delivering 100% of what we asked for ... paying particular attention to detail
We were in communication at all times. The service was excellent with phone and e-mail contact. We were also given a very comprehensive folder with details of our itinerary and suggestions re tipping etc. We spent 3 weeks in Africa covering two safaris, 7 internal flights, a Rovas rail trip, time in Capetown and a visit to Victoria Falls. The whole trip far exceeded expectations with not one hitch along the way. Wonderful!!

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!
Gecko Adventure provided us with an excellent safari in Mikumi, and were so accommodating. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.
