Amazing Safari experience
We just came back from a 14 days Tanzania Safari and Zansibar beach Trip booked with "It started in Africa"
with wonderful memories and are very happy that we booked this tour. the trip was "custom made" according to own interests and special wishes and we received regular email responses to our requests and questions from the staff.
the best was certainly our driver who made our Safari a memorable experience and who always spotted animals from very far distance. we also had some unexpected experiences....for some travellers that might be annoying- we found it very funny, which sort of makes the special experience of such a trip (the car had a break down on the last day, but it s interesting to watch how a car gets repaired in Africa so quickly, or driving through a street full of water due to rain)

It was a highly professional team and yet with a friendly touch!
Expatrips was excellent with the communication leading up to the events. The communication was prompt and extremely articulate in as far as the events were concerned.
As a group of Ugandans that were travelling to Rwanda for the very first time, we were filled with such huge expectations on how to make the most of the few days that we were going to spend in Rwanda.
It was here that Expatrips came in handy, with such a well laid out plan, they gave the time of a lifetime in Rwanda. I would with on doubt recommend Expatrips for anyone willing to not only travel but experience moments in their travel that they will never forget!

Amazing once in a lifetime 3-day tour
My guide was Willem Heckroodt. He picked me up at my hotel in Pretoria. He told me a lot about the country, the landscape and historic dates on our way to Pilanesberg. In the reservoir he really had the eye for the details and showed me not only lions and co. but very hard to see owls. The combination with the hotel tours and his private tours and the information he shared made it just an unforgettable experience. He brought me safely back to the airport in Jo'burg.

Everything we expected and more!!
We contacted Heidi at Pembury Tours to help us organize a select part of our South African Journey. We arranged to Skype Heidi at a time that would work for both parties, not easy with a 9 hour time difference. She quickly understood what we required for our safari bookings and made many helpful suggestions. Heidi arranged all our safaris accommodations and transfers, we did our own flight bookings. Everything went without a single glitch! We were very happy with the companies she chose for our transfers, they were always on time, extremely pleasant and we always felt safe! Her recommendations for accommodations for our safari's were excellent, we loved everything about our experience! We would not hesitate to recommend Pembury Tours to our friends and after them seeing our pictures and hearing our stories, I'm sure Heidi will be kept busy! Thank you again for your excellent service!

Excellent, very well organised, great transport and great guide.
As said it was very well organised, from being picked up from the hotel to the drop-off at the airport.
Transport was amazing as we were able to see from above any other cars in the Kruger by having a higher viewing platform. All the Kruger overnight compounds were excellent and enjoyed the adventurous feel of camping in the tents. Morris, our driver, guide and cook was superb providing us with anything we might have needed. Saw all animals, only animal we didn't see was a cheetahs but safari's are unpredictable. What more can I say but thanks for the memories.

An amazing experience we will talk about for years
My husband and I booked our safari one day before leaving and Allan helped with the whole thing. He was very quick with responding and made us feel comfortable with our last minute plans. Our driver Martin was the BEST! We saw all the animals that they said we would, and more. I could not believe what a wonderful time we had!! I will definitely be recommending Back of Africa to all my friends heading to Kenya!

Our Excellent Migada Adventure!!!!
What a wonderful time. We saw every animal you could possibly want to see on this tour. Our guide Santos was very knowledgeable. The accommodations at the Pepe Hotel in Arusha, the Kudu Lodge and the tents on the Serengeti were wonderful. The food was excellent and the Kilimanjaro beer in camp was great (and I'm not a beer drinker, but after a hot dusty day it hit the spot). Definitely great value for the money spent.

Once in a lifetime experience
It was my first time in Tanzania, and for the Safari. I have had great time with Nelson and Dulla, they were very helpful, joyful, and respectful. Dulla was our guide in the Safari, he was very knowledgable and he was always trying his best to make us see as much animals as possible! Nelson was always there when we call him and he took the right actions when needed. It was really a great experience and i would recommend this tour company for any one going to Tanzania !

Great Experience
I just returned home from the 8 day Kenya Highlands and Masai Mara safari. To say it was an incredible experience would be an understatement. From day 1, dealing with Daniel via email, was a pleasant experience. He was always very professional, helpful and always timely in his responses. As it was our first safari, I had a lot of questions and Daniel always answered them honestly. As for the safari itself, we were very pleased with the game drives that we did. We saw every animal you could imagine. Our driver, Tony, always went above and beyond to make sure we saw the animals that we wanted. Tony was a very knowledgeable, kind, funny man who made this trip that much more enjoyable. He always kept our safety as a first priority.The lodging was simple, yet always clean and safe. The food provided was amazing. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend this company and this specific safari.
