Perfect KSG and perfect guide Hamisi
Guides Our requirements for guides are patience, experience, and the ability to accompany us attentively. Hamisi, who has 11 years of experience, meets all our fantasies. He can speak French, English and several local languages fluently, drives very steadily, has very sharp eyes, and often glances over and whispers to us "There are leopards"; before being a safari guide for 11 years, he was a Kilimanjaro mountaineering guide, and had climbed up and down Kilimanjaro 4 times in a month. He is kind and friendly, very talkative, and often asks us questions on the road. If we can't answer, he will stop the car and turn off the engine to explain to us patiently. Our itinerary is very relaxed. We often set off for safari after 10 o'clock. Every day, we leisurely watch animals on the grassland, enjoy the beautiful scenery and the hotel. Hamisi will give us some suggestions every day and arrange it reasonably according to our itinerary for the next day, which not only meets our requirements for enjoying the hotel, but also allows us to try to see the little lions napping in the trees in the hot noon. Hamisi has a strong sense of boundaries. He knows that you are a customer and will provide you with a lot of services. His professionalism also reminds you all the time that he is a very respectable elder brother. The four of us all gave high praise to Hamisi at the end of the trip. Another point is that he is very strict about personal hygiene and car hygiene. His clothes are clean and tidy every day. Even if the car is covered with dust, he will clean it the next day. Hamisi is a very professional, friendly and joyful guide. He enjoys his work and I would recommend him to everyone.

Penguins in the Suburbs of Cape Town & Namibia's Extraordinary "Green Season"
Penguins in the Suburbs of Cape Town & Namibia’s Extraordinary “Green Season”
I recently returned from a visit to Africa, traveling with 5 friends and under the guidance of “Nature Travel Africa”. Our journey started in Cape Town, South Africa for several days to recover from our travels. We viewed the African Penguins which are conveniently located in the suburbs of Cape Town, a beautiful drive to the Cape of Good Hope, and no tour of the area would be complete without a stop at a local winery.
The next part of the journey took us to Namibia, a mostly desert country which had record rain fall this year. The grass was tall and the animals were on the move enjoying the fresh grass and water. This translated into many encounters with the local wildlife. Most memorable was viewing a herd of Zebra’s numbering in the hundreds, arriving to drink in the fresh rain water, a Leopard crossing the road in front of our vehicle, and night viewing of Black Rhinos, Elephants and Lions at the watering hole by our accommodations inside Etosha Park. But we did much more than just game viewing. We walked the red sand dunes of Sossusvlei, took a scenic flight over the ship wrecks of the Skeleton Coast, kayaked with hundreds of seals in Walvis Bay, hiked to ancient rock art in Twyfelfontein, toured the ‘Living Desert” finding life even in the desert sands, and tracking Leopards in a wildlife reserve.
This incredible journey was possible due to the travel team at “Nature Travel Africa”. All of our transfers were on time and efficient, accommodations impeccable, and tours seamless. A special thanks to Nicolette Muller and Nick Buys for answering our many questions in timely communications, and making numerous requested changes to our itinerary. Our guides Geoff in Cape Town, Nick, and Delano in Namibia had in depth knowledge of the area, animal behavior, and great interpersonal skills, being in tune with their clients needs and wants.
Africa is a beautiful and diverse continent with so much to experience. Therefore, I have visited many times and at the end of each trip I start planning my next sojourn to Africa’s many wonders with “Nature Travel Africa”.

Well organized & good value for money
The best decision that we made in Kenya was to go with Jocky Tours for a 7 Day Safari. We were very lucky to have Papa as our designated guide & driver who definitely made our trip memorable. Papa went all the way out so that we got to see all the big animals and went above & beyond to ensure that we were comfortable & most importantly safe throughout our entire trip. He is very knowledgeable & shared alot of good info about the animals & Kenyan culture. Papa is also a very experienced & safe driver - a big plus point. We look forward to coming back to Kenya again & will definitely insist on having Papa as our tour guide/driver again. Please ask for Papa when you book with Jocky Tours - He will take good care of you.

Our trusted person, Joel, was wonderful. Attentive, helpful, and kind throughout the safari.
My experience booking directly with Pilgrimage Safari has been incredible. Throughout the trip, our trusted person, Joel, was always on hand to ensure everything ran perfectly. He resolved any minor issues and helped us greatly during our stay in Tanzania, accompanying us even before our arrival, right up to seeing us off at the airport. The accommodations were wonderful; there were three in different locations, and all of them were incredible. I would definitely book with them again. Not only for the value for money, but also for the fascinating experience. I don't want to forget the guides they collaborate with on the safaris, who are the people who accompany you to the different parks, drive for hours, and always with the biggest smiles. Behind every safari, there is a lot of hard work in logistics, which they do incredibly well.

wonderful experience
It was a truly wonderful experience — I genuinely enjoyed doing it. I’m grateful for the opportunity and really appreciated every moment of it. Albert was an amazing guide and thanks to him we’ve seen every animal of the parks.

Magical 3 country tour
What a fantastic experience!! Africa has yet again surprised us and left us without adequate words.
Great wildlife, warm hospitality, very special accommodation and landscapes hard to describe. Small touches in sundowners, camp fires, helicopter flights, singing camp staff and many more events enhanced the whole immersive experience.
Seamless travel and arrangements meant we could just enjoy the travel and sightseeing. It felt very individual to us, guiding us and looking after us at every stage.
Pembury understood us, making all aspects and elements stand out experiences.
Thank you so much for making this happen for us, leaving us with us with enduring memories!!!!

Accommodating
My husband and I did 12 days Kenya safari, we prefer the low season especially April and May because prices are normally low and the parks less crowded. I came across this operator through referral from their previous client, and am glad I came through, I had an extra ordinary experience, especially in Masai Mara, Tsvavo, Lake Turkana, and Samburu. The cultures in this country are amazingly humble, and always eager to engage. I loved the guides, accommodations and the landscape and the warm weather though it was rainy season. I can be picky, but this operator served me well. Overall, the quality of experience was fantastic!
