We will never travel SA without Pembury !
As we traveled SA with a honeymoon itinery from Pembury in 2013 (Garden Route) and were more than satisfied we decided to come back in 2014 and travel from Cape Town to the Kalahari and back. It was an awesome and unique trip again and we were really satisfied.
Communication with Kerry was very easy and prompt via email, so was the payment.
We can only recommend them!

Great Experience with Patrick
One of our best experience! Patrick is a young and reactive contact and he delivered a great service during our stay. We organized a 4 days/3 nights in Mikumi and everything was what we expected..with so much fun!
He is local so he can easily also provide good reccomendation for any need it might occur during your vacation.
If you are planning a trip to Tanzania, do ot miss Nodven Safaris (f.k.a. Parota Safaris)!

Bernhard was an excellent guide and shared his extensive knowledge and experience with us.
Bernhard is an excellent guide and showed that he knew the park and the animals extremely well.He freely shared his knowldge and took us to all parts of the park.He also distinguished himself from the other rangers by providing personalised service (teas and coffees) and allowed us use of his binoculars. He is highly recommended and I will not hesitate to use him again! Well done Bernhard!!

The professional and friendly servic from Campofrio Safari in January 2015 was exceptional.
Over a six month period in 2014 I spent time communicating via the Internet with Oliver for a 14 day safari for 2 couples tailored to our needs starting in Kenya through tanzania and ending in Zanzibar.
We could not fault the service before during and after the safari.
The standard of the guides,accommodation ( only asked for 3 star but much better than that) and transport were above our expectations.
I would not hesitate to recommend this company.
we could see almost all in masai including big five. live action of most .organised well for travel
Thanks Devid for helping us from the bus to air port and organising inbetween professionally
7 Days Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire Safari with Africa Remote Safaris
When we started doing our research for a Safari company, we were at first very sceptical as most Europeans usually are when dealing with overseas companies. This was to be our honeymoon destination ( 08 Days Tanzania) and we were on a certain budget. We wrote to several companies and asked a lot of questions. We also used Safaribookings.com and trip advisor to make a decision regarding the tour Company. Africa Remote Safaris wasn’t the cheapest quote but compared to the local UK companies. They were almost 30% cheaper and half the price that Thomsons had quoted to us.
Although we had an idea of the sort of itinerary we wanted, Steve, one of the managers helped us choose the best itinerary in consideration of our Length of stay. They also booked our flights out of London (Qatar Air via Doha). I was working on the Safari day and needed a flight departing at 8pm. Africa Remote Safaris did not disappoint. They booked us on the flights and sent me the E ticket. I must say that we found their service really professional and in a timely manner.
My concern however was when making payments. We had preferred paying my credit card instead of the wire transfer. However when making the payments, we were informed by their Credit card merchant that I should send over my verification details, this included a copy of my Identity and part of my Credit card. I found this to be very strange. My Bank advised me against doing so. They tried using yet another system from their bank but with the verification requirement. We found this to be very frustrating but the Tour operator’s hands were tied. In the end we had to bite the bullet and sent the documents requested by the 3G.
On the payment process I would honestly give them a 4 over 10.
On arrival in Nairobi, we realised that our concerns were short-lived , we were met with Steve himself and our guide Mr Haron. Honestly while in Serengeti I realised that we had a very good deal. Based on the quality of accommodation. ( Serengeti Kati Kati, Olduvai camp and Tloma lodge)
We had an amazing Safari. We saw elephants, buffalo and giraffe and all the Big 5. As our guide had explained, it is very rare to see ALL the big 5 especially the black Rhino and leopard. Our guide found was incredible. We saw more than 20 Lions, then another 14 lions in Serengeti feasting on a Buffalo, 8 Cheetah’s including the ones that were hunting before killing a warthog. We also saw 08 leopards in total with one that was just about 2 meters away from us on a tree.
All in all, we saw so many animals and the camps and lodges were wonderful. I want to thank Africa Remote Safaris and especially Steve and Haron for making our Honeymoon very memorable.
We hope to come back one day.

Amazing tour !
I'have been positively impressed about the excellent service provided by Kombi Tour.
We met Steve in Kampala, he took great care of all our needs, and organized a customized trip at a very competitive price. We visited Queen Elizabeth Park and Bwindi forest, and everything went smoothly: the driver was reliable and made us enjoy each game drive, the lodges were above our expectations. I loved to meet gorillas and other animals ...
Hope to come back to visit more, for sure will join you again !

We are doing a RTW tour and so far Tanzania has been on of the main highlights. To blame is this tour operator who had the best price from all the reputable tour operators and organized a dream vacation for us. It is my first safari but the experience is difficult to improve. Car was great, guide was out of this world, accommodation had incredible value for money (maramboi camp, manyara wildlife camp, and ang'ata camps) and we saw more animals than our best expectations. Definitely recommended

3-days safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro. Amazing!
We were 4 families (18 people) on a 3-day safari. Benson picked us up in Arusha. We were in Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. We got many great animal experiences in beautiful surroundings. Skilled drivers with much knowledge, no problems with the cars.
Everything worked! We visited the Masai village and visited Hadzabe the Bushmen. First night we stayed at Osupuko Lodge. Wonderful wonderful place, must be experienced! Other night we stayed in a tent at Lake Manayara.
Benson had arranged a great tent camp. Amazingly good food cooked on a single outdoor kitchen. Benson had made an awesome program that was well adapted traveling companion with both adults and children (7-15 years). Benson is fantastic bland and nice person who let everything arranged that we were going on a great safari. Booking and communication happening on Mail in advance. Worked very well! We got an experience of a lifetime! Traveling like on safari with Benson again!
