Great experience
We really enjoyed our safari to the Massai Mara. Martha from Big Time safari is fantastic and helped us every step of the way. We wanted to add a few days in Tanzania and they even accomodated that, although we did NOT have a good experience with the Tanzanian safari group so be sure to ask for Martha and you will have an experience of a life time!!

Our fabulous holiday
Everything went like clockwork - OK, there were a few times when we had to remember we were in Africa, not Aylesbury, but that's all part of the adventure (what was the acronym? TIA - This is Africa!). I'm still amazed that it all went so smoothly - but it did!
We want to go back and we will use Safarihub!

A perfectly organized trip
Our family (5 adults) went to the Elephant Coast in South Africa in July. Our trip was well planned and had a programme with very much variation in it . We visited six places in total including Drakensbergen, Karkloof, St Lucia, Hluhluwe-Umfolozi, Tembe and Ponta-d'Ouro ( Mozambique) . We had amazing experiences and sightings at every destination. Unfortunately we only saw 3 of the big five . The hippo's crossing the road in St Lucia when we walked back from our dinner, the BBQ visit of the hyena's in Umfolozi and the PADI dive course in Ponta-d'Ouro were unforgettable!
Angela was always helpful and nothing ever was too much trouble . Overall, the holiday and 'Tailor made Safaris' surpassed our expectations and we will highly recommend this organisation to our friends . If we return to SA it will be with Tailor made Safari's again .

Budget Safari a must do!
We took a 10 day budget safari in Kenya and Tanzania. We had a seamless experience with all our transportation, hotels and campsites, and food. Our guides were awesome and we saw more animals than we could have imagined. Camping in the Serengeti was amazing. You could hear hyenas and lions nearby and there were more stars than I have ever seen. At the end of the trip we had an extra day in Nairobi. David from Absolute Safaris set us up with a driver and activities including the elephant sanctuary and giraffe center which we loved. Great experience though if you are looking for luxury the budget trip is not for you. Would definitely recommend this company!

Incredible, awesome, spectacular and magic
The experience of going on safari was incredible. To see the wild life in their own environment was magic.
The countryside was fantastic the vastness is not seen in photos but in real life just amazing.
The Masihambe Afrika company is a very professional business and was wonderful with all the communication and contact before and after the trip. The guide, Anthony Washford with his wealth of knowledge and genuine compassion for both the wild life and the country was outstanding. All in all the absolute best company to deal with. Recommend them to anyone wishing to see what they have on offer.

Once in a Lifetime Experiences - Expectations Exceeded!
My husband and I just returned from a 2.5 week African vacation which began in South Africa and took us to Tanzania and finally to Rwanda where we had the pleasure of experiencing Pinnacle Africa Safaris. We scheduled the Rwanda portion of the trip for the end as we were most looking forward to our Mountain Gorilla trek and wanted to "save the best for last". We had no idea how right we were!
Our wonderful guide, Adrian Ddungu, was the perfect fit for us personally and took the wheel (literally and figuratively) from the start to create two fantastic days which were book-ended by our arrival and departure processes. Not only was he waiting for us with a huge smile at 1:30 am when our much delayed flight landed in Kigali, he made sure we were completely comfortable before saying goodnight at the Kigali Serena Hotel and making timing arrangements for the following morning.
The next morning he met us and gave us a full briefing on what we would be doing in the coming days and also took the time to show us the various stops on a Rwanda map. Very helpful. From there we started our Rwandan adventure.
After a very emotional and interesting visit to the Genocide Museum, Adrian took us on the 3 hour trip to Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge (gorgeous!!!) to get us settled again. The drive was filled with great information; cultural and historical details as well as a lot of laughs and stories. We were immediately at home with him and truly enjoyed the time together.
The Silverback Lodge was a wonderful place to call "home" for three nights and when my husband tweaked his back one afternoon they took special care to bring several meals to our cottage; co-ordinate an in-room massage and put a wonderful fire in the fire place. The only thing I might mention as a heads up to future Silverback Lodge customers would be to prepare for what we called "mini-Mt. Kilamanjaro"...the walk from the jeep drop off to the main lobby is straight up hill and just when you think it's over - it's not. Combined with the altitude - this was definitely a big surprise. Thank goodness for the very strong porters!
Again, thanks to Adrian, we had two spots on the perfect level of trekking when we set off to find the Pablo Family of Mountain Gorillas. We had requested "low to moderate" and that's exactly what we got. The entire experience was magical and when we heard stories from others at the lodge - we know ours was even more special.
So Pinnacle....I could go on and on but I will stop here by saying thank you! We own an incentive travel company in Toronto, Ontario (Canada) and are definitely looking for the right group to share this experience with. When we find them - we will return to you!

Life changing experience
Some close friends, my wife and I were seeking an adventure this year. There were tons of choices available when we decided to go with safari and climbing kiliminjaro. After much research we settled on Benson Safari and couldn't be happier. Our safari guide, as well as the owner Benson, were incredibly good and accommodating. Peter, our safari guide, was extremely kind, knowledgeable and professional. We can't say enough good things about him. Tomorrow we are going to attempt kiliminajro and we are super confident thanks to Benson and our head guide :)
