A safari that surpassed all expectations!
I want to thank Shelley and the Go2Africa team for a safari experience that surpassed all my expectations. The first thing that impressed me is that Shelly took the time to ask me what kind of experience I was looking for and what I hoped to get out of the trip. Based on the fact that I would be traveling alone and wanted something comfortable but not too over the top, she recommended Chapunga Tent Camp in Thornybush Private Reserve. I really did not know what to expect but she was spot on! Everything about the trip was perfect from the flawless travel arrangements to the accommodations to the safari itself. The staff at Chapunga were as nice as can be; the rooms and grounds were lovely and comfortable, and the food absolutely delicious. I loved the intimacy of 16 max guests (we only had five -- even better!). Best of all was the safari itself. I cannot say enough about Kilmon (our guide) and Oscar (our tracker). Their passion for the animals and Thornybush was clear and they really knew what they were doing. We saw everything we could have wanted and then some. The highlight among so many was tracking leopards and driving straight through the bush in order to find a mom and her son somewhat hidden in the bush. We saw them "munching on lunch" and then followed them as they went to the watering hole for a drink. It was just amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have memories to last a lifetime and can't wait to come back. You can be sure that when I do I'll be calling you to help make my arrangements!

Excellent service
I have used Pembury twice for organising and helping me design our honeymoon package and follow up trip as honeymoon trip in SA was so amazing. Service, ideas, follow up -- everything was 5 star - thank you to Tammy and team.
Amazing!
I had a really great stay at Queen Elizabeth park. The staff of Mamaland safaris went out of their way to help me organise a very short trip!, my driver Paul was amazing!
I am already looking forward to go back!
Thanks so much :-)

Close to natur and local people
Just returned from a fantastic trip again with Cul Tours and Safaris. It is the ninth time in the last five years we use Stevens company to get around in Uganda. This time we visited many craft groups and on the way back to Kampala we made a shortcut through Murchison Falls National Park and were lucky to get a glimpse of a leopard. We can only recommend using Steven and Cul Tours and Safaris as organizers, whether you plan your trip yourselves or let him do it. You can rely 100% on him. We come back later this year and certainly next year.

The Ultimate Authentic Maasai Experience
My friends and I went on a tour to an authentic Maasai village and stayed with one of the families living there. Everything about the experience was amazing. We were shown how to carry water on our heads and milk cows. In the evening they had a bonfire for us and did a bit of a dance. When it got dark we saw the most stars I have ever seen in my life, it was truly beautiful. Everyone went to bed and we heard music so we hiked up the mountain for a few minutes and found a bunch of kids singing and two ladies playing the drums. We sang and danced with them for hours until they invited us into a hut and we had some sort of prayer or welcome ceremony. This was not part of the tour. We just happened to find a lovely group in the next village who were happy to see us it was easily one of the best nights of my life. The tour also included a trip to a reptile zoo where we got to learn about animals and go on a camel ride. There was also a circumcision museum which was strange but informative. I highly recommend booking a tour with Open Africa safaris. John is a great guy and we still stay in touch

unforgettable week
My family and I have just recently finished a 7-day safari with your agency. We were accompanied the entire time by your staff member, Mr. Baraka Sospeter. And Mr. Cessey (Casey??) was our driver.
From the moment of our arrival to the time of our departure both of these men were constantly concerned for our comfort and well-being as well as committed to fulfilling all our wishes. Using his exceptional command of the German language and his extensive knowledge, Mr. Sospeter presented us much information about the land and its people. He was always courteous, polite and punctual, was always in a cheerful mood, and above all was always professional and thorough concerning our safety.
Mr. Cessey (Casey??), with his perfect knowledge of the area, was an ideal match and complement. At no time did we ever have the feeling he was not in total control of the situation or that he had put us in danger.
Lastly, although the Christmas celebrations fell in this period, both men never seemed tired or distracted.

Unforgettable Honeymoon!!!
We truly enjoyed our experience with Savannah Explorers!! We went on a 6 day safari in Tanzania and in those six days our tour guide, David, got us up close to "the big 5" and many more beautiful animals and birds!! David was extremely knowledgeable and made the safari so much better. He could spot an animal far off in the distance and knew the names of all the birds!! Not only that but when we would find a new animal, he would give us interesting facts about them!! My husband and I learned so much from David and enjoyed his company. He became a friend of ours and we are already planning a return visit!! Savannah explorers is very flexible and will plan a trip to meet your wishes!! Our tour guide was also very flexible. We would say, "we want to see hippos"...a few minutes later, David would show us a pool full of hippos!!! He catered to our every need and made us feel fully comfortable. Thank you so much David and Savannah Explorers for making my honeymoon perfect and unforgettable :-D

life-changing
Everything about this trip was more than I expected. I went with a group of four people, and our driver and cook did an amazing job. Our driver found some of the most unbelievable sites of landscape and animals. I still look at the footage I got all the time. At one point we got stuck because a lion was sleeping under our car, using it for shade. I could go on all day about the amazing things I saw, and the great times I had with everybody involved.

The trip was unforgettable and there is no doubt that it will remain in our memory for life . Yes indeed, I would highly recommend Open Africa Safaris to any one who would like to make their dream come true.
