4 days Safari - Best experience with best company
NCA was recommended to me by my friend and it was great decision to choose them. Mike is very helpful - you can see that he really want to provide best experience for his guests. What is also important he can help to book hotel in Arusha - they cooperate with Clouds View hotel which is in very good price and is quite good. In regards Safari I spent 4 wonderful days in Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro - our driver Denis was also wonderful guide with vast knowledge about wildlife - he knows also a lot of interesting stories - nice for evenings :) Please keep in mind that this is not obvious in other companies that driver is also good guide! Our cheff Sweetbert cared so that we have every day fresh and good food. In summary Denis and Sweetbert are dream team for such trip. NCA in my opinion is best company for Safari in Tanzania. Asante sana Denis Mike and Sweetbert!! :)

Real Safari taste, loads of lions seen
I was travling with a group of 6 in 3 guided cars for the propose of wildlife photography. The whole trip was an amazing experince and life time dream came to reality. The company's guides were brilliant and very helpful and knowledgeable. They understated what we wanted and helped us to achieve that. The camps arrangment were the best, a well organized tented camp in the middle of the park full of animals and predators, we could hear the lions all night long. Our special good arrangement were done by the chief himself and supervised by the camp's owner. when we arraived to Kirato after 8 nights on the park we were welcomed by the safari campany owners themselves and invited to a cup of coffee. It was amazing trip overall led by international wildlife photogarpher Mohammed Al Nasser.

Yet another great experience with Yala Safaris
We have used Yala Safaris a number of times for our travels in Uganda, and have never been disappointed. Whether you want a standard safari in Murchison or a customized trip to the Mgahinga volcanos, Yala Safaris can organise it all without any fuss and at a great price. Communication is quick and easy and the quality of vehicles, accommodation, etc... is always great, regardless of our budget. All in all, we have no complaints and would highly recommend them!

Breathtaking safari in Serengeti: Excellent guide, beautyful camp sites and very good service!
Everyone should visit Serengeti, it is just like that. Our guide Zigi was very competent and friendly, and we talked about a lot of different topics, and he shared from his life, we truly appreciate that. He knew a lot about the animals behaviour and where to find the best view spots. He was also very observant and service minded regard to our needs. The car was a little bit small, and it would have been nice to have some fruit and coffee along with us on the quite long drives. The camps were just perfect, good service and ok food and the feeling of being in the middle of the home of the wild animals, that was fantastic. I will recomment this company and especially Zigi as a guide to my friends any time. Thank you so much for this memorable trip!

Very professional and connected
We had a one week safari&beach holiday with Serene Africa at Kenya. They were very helpful from the point of making an offer, customizing it based on our expectations, offering various alternatives and organizing the whole holiday as it should be. I can definitely recommend to those who are looking for a safari trip in Kenya.

One of the best trips I've had!
Although we decided to visit Uganda on a last minute basis, the trip worked out very well. Matoke Tours helped us make up for the last minute arrangements and bookings. We greatly enjoyed visiting the chimps (Kibale Forest), gorillas (Mutamba area), swimming and canoeing at lake Mutamba, and meeting so many friendly people along the way! I wouldn't recommend Queen Elizabeth Park (QEP) to anyone who has done a game drive in Tanzania or Kenya, as the wildlife in QEP is minimal and the savannah is quite bare.
I would recommend Matoke 100%! Make sure to rent one of their comfortable shuttles or 4x4 cars and enjoy the journey!

Incredible
I've been lucky enough to travel with John twice now and loved both trips. First trip was from Victoria Falls down through Hwange National Park, Bulawayo and into Kruger National Park. Second trip was through Namibia across to Victoria Falls. John has this infectious love of Africa and its history. Every location we visited was because it had spectacular views or the ability to get up close for animal viewing. Absolutely incredible trip - I can't wait to go back. John is a great host full of stories and experiences and wouldnt travel to Africa without him there. John travels in small groups in air conditioned vehicles and knows his way around. Highlights for me were Africat in Namibia and Nehimba Lodge in Hwange National Park. Two spectacular locations for animal viewing.

Amazing African Sermon Safaris seven day safari
Just arrived back home from a 7 days trip in Kenya visiting Amboseli, Naivasha Lake, Nakuru and finally Masai Mara that was arranged by Daniel, African Sermon Safaris. It was a well-planned and coordinated safari. Everything was excellently planned to suit our requirement and price. Everything was delivered as promised and more so to our satisfaction. Ben was The Best guide any one can want to have. Very friendly, well-informed and experienced, he knew all the places in and out. He explained the day’s plan and activities before start of the safari and seemed very flexible with us. Lake Naivasha included remarkable sunset boat trip and walking and we were happy that we experienced walking alongside with Zebras, wildebeests, Giraffes and Gazelle.
Ben ensured that we saw all the Big Five, Hippos, crocodiles, hundreds of Birds and even much more than we had anticipated. Due to his safe, skillful driving and excellent network we could get a spot where we saw a pride of 12 Lions hunting, a great extent of what we often dreamed of after having watched NatGeo over several episodes. We were more surprised when Ben out of nowhere, located a lone tree where a Leopard was resting. Luckily, there were no other tourists or safari vehicles nearby and so spent over 30 minutes watching this Big Cat.
The tour was the most exciting vacation we had this far, and we thank Daniel and Ben for making it happen. We highly recommend African Sermon Safaris for your visit to Kenya!!! They are the an amazing company.

A different way to experience the magical Zambezi!
Overall our luxurious canoe experience down the Zambezi was brilliant! All the Natureway staff were extremely friendly and helpful and didn't miss a beat with such great attention to detail! We were so impressed with the professionalism and care shown by the guides when we canoed down the Zambezi as we were never put in a dangerous situation and got to truly enjoy the experience peacefully. Also, recognition must go the chef who constantly provided spectacular three course meals, cooking off his small wooden fire only – every meal was top notch! We were also lucky enough to spot a leopard in the middle of the day during our lunch break which just topped off the trip! I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone that enjoys the bush and would like a bit of adventure rowing down the Zambezi! All round a fun and memorable trip with the family!

Trip of a Lifetime
My wife and I just completed the most amazing trip to South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana. This was in great part to the hard work of Gail Davis. Not only did Gail create an amazing itinerary that took us to Krugar Park, Cape Town, Victoria Falls and Chobe Park, but she also came to our rescue when we had a Passport issue in NYC on our way to South Africa.
I strongly recommend a trip to southern Africa, and would give the highest recommendation to Gail and Pembury Tours who are truly professional and take great care to schedule and unforgettable experience.
