Great experience
The experience with Dens Safaris was really good. We went for a 18 days to Zambia, Kafue, South Luangwa, Victoria falls and Chobe National Park in Botswana. All transfers, lodges and safaris he booked for us was excellent. If I came back to Zambia I will contact him again. I'd like to thank Denver for assuring a great experience in Zambia.

Bespoke Safari, exceeding our expectations
We spent 10 days in several reserves and national parks (Samburu, OL Pejeta, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara). The trip was a bespoke affordable safari perfectly organised by Maurice who was on top of everything from day 1, not only in the communication flow before arriving but also once we got to Nairobi and started the Safari. He even drop by our hotel on the last day to have a chat and spend some time with us on a Sunday afternoon.
The trip was beyond any expectation we had. The camps were unbelievable, all the best locations within the reserves, we always got the best tents/rooms, the service and the staff was kind and willing to help if need be. Vegetarian/vegan food was organised for us as well.
Tony, our driver, did a fantastic job. He is very knowledgeable of all the areas and was very patient with us. He always found the way to get the best angle of the scene for us to witness and take photos.
I’d definitely recommend Africa Safari Classics to anyone. High quality at affordable prices.

We had the most amazing day with Francis. It exceeded our expectations massively due to his skill
Communication was great, short turn around time. Francis was our driver and was amazing. We managed to see most of the parks animals and quite close up as well. It exceeded all of our expectations. Francis is a very knowledgeable, funny and down to earth guide and we would be honoured to have him again on any future Kenyan safaris.

Excellent company...genuine personal attention in all aspects of the holiday. Strongly recommended.
Wildlife Sun Safaris are an excellent company to use for travelling in Africa.
From the beginning the responses to my communication was prompt, clear efficient and travel requests extremely well priced.
The boss of the company, James , was always there to assist & nothing was too much trouble.
I took a lot of items for orphanages there and James was fantastic in looking after these cases whilst I went off on Safari. He actually transported them from Nairobi to Mombasa where they went to the Shanzu Good Hope Orphanage. If you go do take whatever you can with you and donate to them...they are so poor and don't know where the money is coming from for their next meal. James will take you there or direct you yo another Orpganage in Nairobi. His company is the best ...we had an excellent driver who kept us informed about all aspects and spoke very clear good English.
You can either let James propose your itinerary or he will execute your own intinersry at very fair prices. He is genuine and you do not have to worry .i was surprised that during the course of three weeks we never saw or even heard a mosquito.,,having gone prepared, the Jungle Spray it never came out once even on Safaris.
Once you find this company there is no need to look any further as you will have found the best & I know you will be very happy st the end.
Our driver, Toya was an excellent safe & cautious & even took us to the airport too at the end and we were very sad to leave this great country having found a good company to look after us, seen an amazing selection of animals & animal activities in the wild & can't wait to go back! A big thank you to James and his team for a wonderful holiday,
Contact James..,you do not have to look any further!!

Review about Hwange National Park by Carole Barnes
Abundant wildlife, professional guides. Fantastic camps.

Zimbabwe is amazing! The people are warm, friendly, hospitable, and also professional.
We visited Harare, Vic Falls and Hwange National Park.
In Harare we stayed four nights in probably the best B&B we have ever stayed in. The Victoria Falls are of course magnificent.
The Wildlife in Hwange is abundant, including the big five (apart from Rhinos), and the little five. Our guides were incredibly passionate and professional. Walking safaris are highly recommended. Nothing beats being up close and personal with the animals and the bush. The sweet smell of true savannah grassland is something I have not experienced anywhere else, nor will I forget the pungent smell of a hyena den.
The standard of accommodation and service in both camps (Bomani and Camp Hwange) was exceptional. All staff worked really hard to make us feel valued and welcome. It still confounds me how these camps manage to create restaurant quality meals with the freshest ingredients in the middle of the bush.
All our transfers were spot on. The hire car pick up at Harare International Airport was the easiest least stressful pick up EVER! The best transfer in the world has got to be the Elephant Express! A restored open air railway carriage, which transfers guests from Dete siding to Bomani/Camelthorn camps along the main Zimbabwe railway line. We were served a delicious lunch and saw as much game in 2 hours as any of the game drives; lion, zebra, giraffe, sable to name a few.
Please don't be put off visiting this wonderful country by negative media stories. The normal everyday Zimbabweanz are probably the friendliest most hospitable people in the world. You arrive as guests but leave as friends.

Great customized trip to Johannesburg, Victoria Falls, Kruger and Cape Town for 3 adults
Excellent service from Heidi, working around our travel dates to build an itinerary (including activities) in Johannesburg (1 night), Victoria Falls (3 nights), safari (2 nights Sabi Sands, 2 nights Timbavati), and Cape Town (6 nights). Very helpful to have a single point of contact when planning the trip, as well as for any questions during the trip. We had a couple of minor requests during our trip - everything was handles promptly and very well.
The first night (Johannesburg) was also due to the flight schedule, but that turned out to be a good thing. Pre-arranged tour of the city and Soweto was quite interesting, and it helped recover from the jet lag. We stayed at an airport hotel (City Lodge) - very convenient for the flight to Livingstone next morning.
Flying into/out of Livingstone for Victoria Falls was fine, but unfortunately Zambia/Zimbabwe ran out of the Kaza Univisa stickers, so we had to get a bunch of separate visas for Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana at each border crossing. Nice view of the falls from the right hand side of the plane on approach to Livingstone. Good day trip to Chobe for a river/land safari. Very nice hotel (Ilala Lodge). Water flow in Zambezi during the dry season is quite low, but that make it possible to swim in the Devil's Pool.
We had an extra night in Nelspruit between Victoria Falls and safari due to our flight schedule. Try to avoid doing this if your schedule allows it - there is nothing to do there.
Safari was definitely the highlight of the trip, and it was nice to visit two different game reserves. Transfer was timed perfectly so we didn't miss any game drives. Both lodges (Elephant Sands and Simbavati River Lodge) were very good.
Stayed in a serviced 2 bedroom apartment (Lawhill) at V&A Waterfront in Cape Town. Again, good pre-arranged tours - city tour, Cape Point, wine country. If you have a couple of days on your own, you can go to the Botanical Garden (great free walking tours with volunteer guides at 10 am, 11 am, and 2 pm), Table Mountain (as soon as the weather is good), and the Old Biscuit Mill (excellent food market on Saturdays). You don't need a guide for any of this, taxis are easy to find and there is also Uber. If you want to have a nice dinner in Franschhoek after the wine country tour, you need to make a reservation weeks (if not months) in advance. Totally worth it. We went to Ryan's Kitchen, there are a couple of other restaurants that are similar.
Again, great trip and great service from Pembury Tours! Thank you , Heidi!
