Amazing
When we were looking into options to arrange our trip to South Africa we found Pembury Tours. After discussing with Heidi our dates and requirements, she prepared the most amazing tailor made tour.
In spite that our travel arrangements were requested in a rather short notice, she found the best options for our especial itinerary. Every Hotel, Lodge, transfer and tour guide made our first visit to South Africa a memorable experience.
Thank you Heidi for your dedication and the welcome package containing the most useful information.
This was one of the best trips in our life and we are already planing dates for next year.....of course with the assistance of Pembury Tours!

Excellent Time!
We had an excellent time at our safari with Kenya Walking. From the moment that I booked the trip, Mr OT was very communicative and responsive to my questions, and did everything that he can to make me feel comfortable about the trip since this is our first time to Africa.
The land and air transports were organized and the hotels were more than we expected. The lodges were comfortable and beautiful. Our driver/guide Jaffet was knowledgeable about the area and the animals in the safari. He had razor-sharp eyes and I can't believe how he saw half of the animals that we saw during the safari! It was obvious that he has a lot of experience and it enabled us to take amazing photos during the trip.
Overall, would highly recommend them and am planning to book with them again when we go back to Africa!

Easy Travel did an amazing job with our safari to Tanzania from beginning to end.
My husband and I booked our 12 day Tanzania safari with Easy Travel and can honestly say they exceeded our expectations. From the beginning when we started planning the details of the trip, 9 months prior, they were extremely responsive, knowledgeable and professional. The communication throughout was excellent. On the trip we had the best driver/guide one could hope for. Herman is an animal behavior and bird expert. We spent 12 days with him and parted as friends. He really made our trip amazing.
We can't say enough of the team at Easy Travel. Thanks to all of them! We have already recommended them to two friends of ours.

3 days filled with expertly guided game viewing and perfect surroundings, exceeding my expectations.
We had unparalleled service setting up our diverse group. The service and people from the Imbabala lodge were just amazing. The location setting in the jungle was spectacular. Our game guide was amazingly knowledgeable and informative, guiding us from the moment we stepped off the plane, stopping at Victoria Falls for a great afternoon followed by an evening of watching elephants by the river. The food was well prepared, delicious and served in a beautiful setting. The grounds and accommodations were well-maintained and afforded views of wildlife while sitting on your veranda or in the bar. We saw a great diversity of game and birds including elephants giraffes zebras many varieties of antelope all within a few minutes of the base. The river cruise was great. With gracious touches all around.

Couldn't have been better
We took a three day safari in Tanzania and everything went as well as it could go. Starting, before the trip, with the affordable prices, the flexibility in designing a program fitted to our interests and the very detailed information and directions or preparing the trip. Once in Arusha, we found a very warm reception. Natasha, the owner, met us twice (both before and after the safari). The safari itself was perfect, exactly as planned. Additionally, Natasha helped one of us with an unexpected issue, fully unrelated to the safari (an entrance visa to the UAE) in a very efficient way, which resulted in substantial savings. I wholeheartedly recommend Shadows of Africa.

Great service
I shoopped around and African safaris tour Service was the most reasonable price coupled with the highest reviews. Booking the Nassau mara tour with this service turned out to be one of the best decisions we made of our entire trip!
Scheduling was very easy, just a few emails back and forth.
We were greeted punctually at our Serena hotel by driver Hezron. He was very courteous and professional. He ensured a safe trip throughout - we never once felt unnerved by his driving even though the roads themselves are a bit scary. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and well-kept.
Hezron was a gold mine of information and help! When possible, he got us away from traffic and crowds, and got us to great scenic viewpoints. His shop and restaurant recommendations were all right-on and we had no issues at all. The lunch spot in Mahimahiu (and the seat he scored us, with an amazing view) was fantastic.
Hezron even helped me with my food allergies by writing up an Italian warning to pass along to any food server.
Hezron asked our interests and made sure that we had what we needed throughout the day. He helped steer us away from touristy or "middle-man" shops. He even called ahead to a restaurant back in Narok (for after our tour) and we experienced amazing food and service there.
Hezron rally knows his stuff and provides an incredible level of service. I would recommend this agency to anyone.

Friendly, efficient service
Booking a wonderful vacation was made simple by the Zambezi Safari & Travel team. I was given a wide range of information and options to choose from, I told them what I wanted, and it was done. Upon arrival I found everything had been taken care of from transfers to safaris and day trips - all of which exceeded my expectations.

It was a life time experience. Our guide Lucas was very professional with a passion for the best .
Communication was excellent. Lucas was very caring and detailed. Plus all the drivers were very knowledgeable, too, and love to give us informations and stories. Hotels and tents were comfortable, food were very nutritious and tasty. I esp. love the fresh fruits, juices , and very nice soups.
Lucas and the drivers tried hard to take us to places in safari to see as much as possible of the animals and birds. And we did see lions eating a Cape buffalo , and storks , vultures eating left over of a zebra.., groups of zebras, buffalos, wild beasts, envelops..... very exciting experiences. And other cultural experiences such as dancing with the Masai people, visiting the bushmen and learn to bow arrow shooting form them, and dancing, hunting....
Generally speaking the trip met our expectations with some plus. Lucas kindly invited us to his home and gave us a wonderful feast/lunch.
We highly recommend this company and hope many more people will enjoy their service.

Fantastic trip and very well organised with great guides
It was our first trip to Africa and after doing some research we chose CKC Tours. All our queries were responded to promptly and any changes we made were done without any trouble. We spent 10 days in Tanzania and Kenya.
John met us at our hotel in Nairobi and reviewed our safari, then introduced us to Vincent, our guide. The whole trip went without a hitch and Vincent and our guide in Tanzania were very capable and extremely informative about the wildlife. We were also transferred across the border by other people who were also very efficient getting us through customs and to and from the necessary airports.
All the hotels and lodges were of a very high standard.
We have no complaints and would highly recommend this company.

5 Day Safari Trek in Kenya
We researched many Safari organizers, and settled with James at Arch Treks and Safaris. he was responsive, and we were seeking a semi-luxury tour. We had a single driver (David) for the entire week, and he was dedicated, knowledgeable and quite pleasant.
The ability to modify the tour, and keep it private for the three of us was truly important. I will use James' service again, and highly recommend his passion and knowledge.
