Customized Family Garden Route
We had a wonderful customized tour of the Garden Route put together by Anya. Anya kept us up-to-date on the tour booking and provided great feedback as we had questions or requested changes. We had several weather induced changes, which Anya was quick to modify the the quick to ensure we completed all the activities. The trip went beyond our expectations. The only issue we had was lack of communication with one of out hotels, Lawhill Luxury Apartments. Several messages were left with the hotel we never received. It was minor, but could have caused issues. It was nice having the rental car dropped off and easy to return. We did shark cage diving, whale watching, two game reserves, several National Parks (including Addo), and lots of sight seeing. Both game reserves were wonderful. Lalibela Game Reserve was great with extensive information and conservation. Our guide Sarah was super knowledgeable and had a great personality. The second game reserver, Kariega, was a bit more tourist, which was perfect for our kids. Max, our guide, was perfect for the kids he was entertaining and keep the kids extremely interested. The two game reserves was a perfect combination. This was a great trip for a family, it was well planned, had elements for both kids and adults, and kept a good pace to keep us going but not wears us out. Thanks, Pembury Tours and Anya...Great trip.

Well organized, great guide, honest advice, and unforgettable experiences.
Selma was very prompt and clear in her communications. She provided lots of variations that fit our limited budget. The guide (Humphry) was amazing. His service, ability to see animals, driving, knowledge, and personally was top-notch. We couldn't have asked for a better guide. We visited three parks. Each was distinct and the time allotment for each was perfect. The safari surpassed our high expectations.
I would recommend Makasa to anyone without hesitation.

Marvelous trip
Great from start to finish. The Mara was beyond expectation. Amazing numbers and variety of wildlife - the highlight was catching the migration when it had looked futile - the main herd was not cooperating and our guides from Offbeat moved to a spot where we had an exclusive showing as they crossed the river)! The two camps were just right for what we wanted - warm, attentive, great guides and gave us an authentic experience that was exactly what we were looking for. I can't thank you enough. The trip could not have been easier to set up on my end and delivered more perfectly. All travel agents should be so good!

Memorabel 3 day tour
Nicholas was very responsive and was easy to arrange via email for a 3 day tour from Kampala to Bwindi for gorilla trek. Driver/guide Bernard was very knowledgeable and caring, helped pass the time on the 10 hour ride each way! Once I paid on line in advance ( super easy visa pesa pal) I didn't have to pay anything more - all meals, transport, lodging and permit were included in the price. The "budget" lodge was better than expected and also enjoyed the community tour. Fabulous experience!

A guide worth his weight in gold.
We traveled with Twaha all over Uganda over the summer and had an amazing time. Twaha was invaluable from helping us communicate, finding the best places for authentic food and markets, and navigating tough roads. Even on some of the hairy roadways and cliff side we asked him to take us, Twaha navigated with professionalism and skill. Furthermore, Twaha was helpful explaining local culture as well as finding great local guides for local sights.

Journey through Tanzania with Lion King Adventures
I'm writing this review from the beautiful hotel Maru Maru in Zanzibar. My experience with Lion King has been fantastic. First, Anna, Lion King Adventure' s trip planner was helpful, reliable and informative. She got back to me quickly whenever I had a question and made me totally confident that Lion King was highly professional and reliable. Second, our driver and guide, George Munge, was fantastic! He had extensive training in and knowledge about the animals and habitat of Tanzania. He was an excellent driver in really tough terrain and knew the National Parks extremely well. He always did everything possible to make our safari experience incredible. We saw an incredible amount of wildlife. On top of all this he is a Massai senior warrior and he was very generous in sharing stories of growing up in his Massai village. I couldn't have had a more conscientious and helpful guide. Last the hotels and other accommodations Lion King chose for us were fantastic full of character, comfortable and with excellent service.

A beatiful experience, due to guide's professionalism and to accomodation in high level lodges
We spent 4 unbelivable days, seeing a lot of animals, many unforgottable savana sights and also meeting local polulations ( Masai and other native africans peoples ), that made our safari very complete. A special thanks to our guide Peter and of course to Roberto that organized evrerything in a perfect way.

Everyone was very nice and the trip went perfectly.
The trip was the best trip I have ever been on. Everyone we met was super outgoing and you could tell they love what they do. The safaris that we went on were amazing and we got to see so many animals. Our guide, Chiba was able to see animals from super far away and he always got us the best view. Our guides on Kilimanjaro knew exactly what they were doing and they made the hike as fun and easy as possible.

Exceptional and the best ever
We had a 7 day safari with Wildbeest Safari's. Everything was organised with care and dedication into the smallest detail. We truly enjoyed Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara and Lake Naivasha. We didn't have to worry about thing. Geoffrey, our guide, took care of everything with a big smile. He followed up to our smallest wishes. But he is also an experienced game spotter. We saw the wild life to the fullest extend. This was really a 100 % success thanks to the management of Wildebeest Safari's and Geoffrey. If you in doubt of which safari company to use, you can't go wrong with Wildebeest Safari's.
