My experience was beyond my expectations because of the diversity and number of animals.
Caracal Tours and Safaris services made our trip stress free. Once we arrived at Kilimanjaro Airport, my friend and I did not have to worry for a week. We were picked up at the airport, brought to our accommodation, ate, and slept well until we were picked up in the morning to begin our 6 day safari. Our driver was patient and kind; our sleeping accommodations were lovely; the jeep was comfortable in spite of the rough roads; and the food was mediocre with the exception of a few food items. I have given Caracal Tours and Safari's business card to many of my friends. I highly recommend them.
Amazing experience
The Wild Africa Travel Company were very accommodating when we requested a change to the original itinery.
We are so glad we got to get a variety of accommodation and safari's. Each was unique and we saw new animals every day. (like the honey badger, wild dogs, Cameleon) With the private safaris you get closer to the animals with less vehicles around but in Kruger there was plenty of animals around the river and surrounds.
Out of all the accomodation we stayed in, the Hilltop Lodge was the best. Once the water hole gets established the view will be even more amazing. Still needs a little work on food/wine service but it is still a very new facility. The guides were incredibly informative.
Unfortunately just before we went to Kruger Park they had a large fire around our lodges there. But incredibly there were still plenty of animals to view.
We went to Hilltop Lodge, then Motswari before going to Rhino Safari lodge and Plains Camp. This was our choice but on reflection I would recommend doing it the other way around as per the internet advertisement itinery.
We loved our experience.
The experience was worth more than the price
I made my enquiry online and Vacay's response was instant! They booked us in Fairmont Mt Kenya Safari Club at very discounted and the experience was superb!!

Fantastic Tour Company!
I had the most amazing time with East Africa Wild! The accomodations were outstanding for the Manyara Lake, Serengeti & Ngorongora Crater safari. I had forgotten my binoculars and was so thankful that they had a spare for me to borrow.
Special thanks goes to my guide, Letawo. You are so amazing! I really enjoyed the educational experience and your knowledge about the people, tradition and the culture as well as the wildlife. Thank you for being so fun and for sharing so many laughs with me. You are a true gem.
Another special thanks goes to Alym who put all of this together. It was such a pleasure to work with you. I truely enjoyed the extra touches you added to my extended stay on Zanzibar. The diving was spectacular and your went above and beyond when arranging the last minute Prisioner Island, Spice and Stone Town tours.
I will never forget all the wonderful people and amazing experiences I had. Thank you!

just amazing!
It is hard to start with such a grateful review, but as soon as i close my eyes and think about everything, since the guys picked us up, until the moment -the very sad moment- when we say goodbye at the Arusha hotel, I remember how amazing, perfect, well organized and simply unforgettable was this experience. Because, for us, it was more, much much more than just a safari. The places we've been, the things we've seen, and more important, the people we've met - and by this I of course mean Isaac, Eliudi, Mandi, Loy, (and João, even when we haven't actually met) - made a lifetime memory of this trip to us. Specially since we had the biggest expectation about this, cause of the time we needed, the money we spent, and the long distance from home.
But from the very first moment, to the last one, this guys gave everything, EVERYTHING, in order to make us feel like royalty. And how much we learned with Isaac, who easily could be a teacher, showing during the whole trip that he is more, way way much more than just a driver. Or the soup that Mandy made, the very best that we both have ever tried. And everything was like a fairy tale, where even the weather (which i assume you don't control) couldn't be better.
We saw every single animal, even the hard ones, that one can't expect to see. A lot of times each. The pictures were amazing, and every single person that saw them, told us that it must been the most unbelievable trip in the history. And they committed no mistake...
I am a very very lucky person who has been traveling around the world for the last ten years. Europe, America, Asia, Oceania... and now Africa. I've been to Africa a year ago as well, but just South Africa. And I can say that never, never, in the tons of excursions and day trips I took, I've met such an experienced, will to teach, and good person as Isaac and his crew.
We also want to express how considered he was while being in the parks, letting us take all the pictures that we wanted, and never saying no to anything, just helping, teaching and having a big smile on his face, always ready and prepared for us, for make us feel -again- like we rule the parks!!!
I would also like to let you know that, the schedule of the safari, was just perfect. How much time per park, or how long to stay there, was just the time we needed. not more, not less. And Loy, at the office, did his part, and was always ready to help us, and he did, and literally save our lives when he could change our flight tickets to Zanzibar, paying with his own money for the charge.
So I think that you cannot be more proud about the people that you have on this firm. AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND FOR EVER... THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic service
Everything went smooth using Pembury Tours. They were kind and extremely helpful. We got answers to all of our questions regarding the trip, and the trip was arranged just as we wanted it. They had it all arranged and prebooked by the time we arrived. We give our best recommendations to this local travel agency. If we haven't got the recommendation from our Danish colleagues, who also used them before us, we had never heard about them, or dared to use a foreign travel agency. But we have only great experiences and a perfect trip to look back at. Thanks for a job well done.

Wellorganized, customer oriented to provide full satisfaction beyond expectations.
Though I gave Muema Africa Safaris my itenerary for vacation within a short period of less than 12 hours at the Great Rift Valley in Kenya, all was arranged on time from hotel bookings, excursions arrangements for specific tour destinations at reasonable rates, with tour guides ready to receive us , and constant email followups and updates from Muema Africa Safaris, thus, my family holiday for 3 days was full of wonders and surprises all well co-ordinated courtesy of Muema Africa Safaris. I am considering a christmas vacation again, with Muema Africa Safaris.

Excellent Safari arrangement by George and team
Back in February 2014, myself and my climbing partner Mauricio had climbed Kilimanjaro with Kilimanjaro Brothers (George MTaki is the owner). The climb was an excellent experience and George and team provided excellent support to reach the top. After the climb we had booked 3 days safari before leaving for the US. We did some last minute changes too, as we wanted to stay in resort rather than tents. With reasonable change fee George immediately booked all the nice resorts for us. We had our own safari jeep and 3 days to spare in Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National park. It was an unforgettable experience. We covered all the big name animals of that part of Africa. All the way from climb to safari, it was very safe environment, friendly attitude. I highly recommend Kilimanjaro brothers. They are very experienced. Because of our recommendation one of our US friend will be going to Tanzania in February 2015. Thanks George and team :)
