Gail Davis from Pembury Tours is a masterful Africa travel planner, highly recommended!
Gail put together a terrific trip based on our list of interests in an amazingly short time. We made our first approach early May, Gail was so easy to communicate with, she immediately understood what we were looking for. After a couple of tweaks, our trip to Vic Falls, Chobe and Namibia was finalized and confirmed in a matter of days! The highlights were the Namibia small group tour and a brief taste of Chobe in Botswana. We are so pleased we took her advice and guidance as she came up with such a variety of places to visit, excellent lodges and guest houses each with its own character and style, plus great activities, many of which we would never have even contemplated. Our trip came in close to budget, every single detail was planned, including local flights, intricate road transfers, tours and so on. Everything worked flawlessly, without a hitch, quite amazing - it made traveling so easy! We would love to do another trip to Botswana in a year or two, and we would not hesitate to call on Gail and Pembury Tours again. We are seasoned international travelers who grew up in Africa so we can recognize an expert with extensive local knowledge and experience. Highly recommended!

Trip of a Lifetime! Shangaza!! (amazing)
Good Earth Tours was recommended to me by a friend who planned a safari for them 10 years ago and they cherished their experience! We were looking for a tour operator who would allow us to create a custom itinerary and Good Earth Tours not only allowed us to to do that but worked closely with us to guide us through the planning process. The agent/owner we worked with was Baraka. He was excellent to work with: knowledgeable, friendly, efficient and he genuinely cared about planning the perfect experience for us. Our itinerary turned out to be 22 days long, including 5 countries with safaris, Victoria Falls, and ending in Cape Town. All accommodations were lovely and everything went smoothly..no issues, no glitches! Our safari guides were extremely knowledgeable, kind and lots of fun. We saw the Big Five on our first game drive!!
Good Earth Tours did an amazing job from start to finish and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a tour operator for an African experience. In fact, I already have recommended them to friends! Thank you Baraka and Good Earth Tours for giving me a wonderfully unforgettable experience.

Jartan Laizer can turn any adventure into a trip of a lifetime.
The adventure was outstanding but Jartan Laizer was even more exceptional as a tour guide. He displayed compassion and concern for all of his clients. He wanted everyone to have the best experience possible. He has a wonderful sense of humor and was a pleasure to be around. Jartan is an encyclopedia of knowledge when it comes to the history or Kenya and Tanzania and the identification of the animals, flora, and fauna. He could spot animals in the parks that most people could not see with their naked eye. He made my travel experience one I will never forget. You can not go wrong when selecting Jartan Laizer as your guide through Kenya and Tanzania.

Fantastic to spend time with a mountain gorilla family!
The highlight of the trip was the hour we were able to spend with a mountain gorilla family. They were only a few meters away but ignored us, so cool! Also tree climbing lions and chimps later in the trip.
The guide was great, as were the accommodations.
One warning: this particular itinerary is condensed and an uncomfortably large percentage of waking hours was spent going from place to place (with lots of bouncing, especially when on dirt roads). If this bothers you, then extend the number of days!

Incredible Value and Service
This was truly Amazing. After landing, we were picked up from our hotel the next morning. Our driver Abel was quite helpful, he knows safari and the national parks so well. We did 3 days Maasai Mara and then later spend a day at Lake Nakuru. This was something out of the ordinary coz we saw many animals in Maasai Mara, the camps we good, with up to date safety features, I for my camera by I was glad it was delivered to me at Lake Nakuru. Everything about this safari was a worthy experience. I encourage anyone to try them.

The perfect travel
We travelled last july in Namibia with a tout organized from Anja of Great Exploration. We did a self drive and we were two families with teens.
Everything was perfect. Anja had a lot of patience and organized everything as we wanted and our travel has been really beautiful.
They assist you during all the travel and they are ready for any problem solving.
I would like to re-start right now!! Always with Great Exploration!!

Trip of a Lifetime!
We had a amazing trip!!! We were so impressed with this company. We started working with Jose to plan it all. He made it so easy! His communication was always prompt and he was willing to help with whatever we needed.
Our 2 guides were the best!!! With James in Kenya we saw the Big 5 in a day and 1/2. We also saw the Migration and were lucky enough to watch a river crossing from beginning to end. He knew all the right places to be at the right time.
Hassan in Tanzania was incredible too! He joined us for dinner every night and we got to know him better. We saw so many animals up close, close enough to hear them chew. We started to call our safari - "Hassan's No Zoom Safari". We were even lucky enough to watch a leopard up close. We learned so much about the animals from Hassan. His wealth of knowledge was so informative and made our experience even better.
The drivers that did our airport transfers were always early and friendly.
The accommodations were perfect too! The staff everywhere was so friendly and accommodating. We also spent 3 nights in Zanzibar, which was a perfect way to relax after our 10 day safari.
I would highly recommend Unlimited Expeditions for a Safari! They have it down!

i like Kenya, everything is incredible there and hope all can be kept well
First of all, I have to stress once again that I really love about Kenya, what we see is incredible. At the same time, we also hope that while the country is getting better and better, these natural animals and plants and scenic can also be well kept. If specific suggestion, I may have two, first is to hope that the road construction can be better which can greatly decrease the time between scenic sopts , second is to hope that there can be a unified standard for travel agencies/guides, I have seen a lot of Chinese who have returned from East Africa, everyone's experience is very different, good or bad, but everyone spent a lot of money to go Kenya, experience of someone seems obviously unfair, of course, my experience is not bad.
Finally I wish all in Kenya goes better and i think i will come to East Africa again. BTW, also hope i can see cheetahs in wild again next time and thanks for your protection on them.

Everything went great.
Everything went great. We were met at the appointed time, and after the safari we were returned back as agreed. Accommodation and food more than met expectations👌
