Everything we could have wanted, best trip ever
Our safari with Lobo Africa was by far the best trip I've ever had, and I’m already looking into returning for the wet season with them in a few years. I would recommend them 100x over as they catered to everything we asked for and delivered more than we could ever expect. Communication was excellent, and we received responses and updates while organizing very quickly. We had two guides between the two countries that we visited (Kenya, Tanzania) and both were fantastic.
Our first guide for Masai Mara park, Abraham, was excellent at locating animal activity and beating the rush to give us great locations. He was also very aware of how lighting in photography works, always positioning with the sunlight in mind. With him, we saw almost all of the big, popular animals in just one outing, and then were able to slow down for more uncommon species. He was very tuned into the radio network, and never missed action.
Our second guide for Serengeti and Tarangire NP was Goodluck, and he was a perfect match. He was an expert on ALL of the animals, including the small mammals and especially birds, which are my favorite to watch. He slowed for every new type of animal no matter the size, giving an ID and information. He kept us off the main crowded trails for the most part, so we saw a significant amount of wildlife that we wouldn’t have otherwise seen. He also perfectly understood the animal behavior, and because of this he was able to position us directly next to a wildebeest crossing point (they crossed within 10 minutes, emerging from the river right next to our vehicle), despite it appearing as if they would cross elsewhere. He was also very funny and thoughtful.
This trip was amazing, and made special by Lobo Africa and their guides. I would highly encourage booking with them. Thank you Lobo Africa for the best trip ever!

He was very jovial, entertaining and a compelling storyteller.
We had so much fun- we very luckily to have several close encounters with elephants and rhinos. We will have to come back because we missed the lions. We stopped for a picnic grilled lunch in the middle of the day with so local food. We would definitely come back again- an amazing tour! Our guide, Martin, went out of his way to try to make sure we were able to see as many of the animals as we could. He was great at explaining about all the wildlife too!

The Experience of a Lifetime
My brother and I begin researching Kenya & Tanzania safari options a few months ago and stumbled on Bavuma WildQuest’s website. Less than an hour after submitting an inquiry, Joshua Bavuma himself messaged me on WhatsApp, and emailed me a well-detailed itinerary and quote document. He was very kind and attentive to special requests such as adding in a hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti.
Joshua provided prior reviews, pictures and even WhatsApp numbers for previous customers, which impressed us and immediately made us trust in him and his business. He allowed us to easily hold our Safari dates with a small deposit paid online, and kept in regular contact with us to answer any questions we may have had the months leading up to our arrival in Kenya.
We arrived and were immediately picked up by our first tour guide Ian. Ian was a friendly and incredibly knowledgeable young man who we absolutely loved as a Safari guide. He had incredible vision and quickly pointed out hidden animals in the bush like gazelles, cheetahs and zebras plus more our first day in Amboseli NP. The second day was just as incredible, we saw baby elephants and a Masai Giraffe up close in Masai Mara reserve. Our highlight on the Kenya side was seeing a whole pride of lions with 2 lion cubs. Finally, Ian was kind enough to drive us to the border with Tanzania, help us meet the Tanzanian Bavuma guide and clear immigration and customs before continuing on with our safari in Tanzania. Ian was a world-class guide, and having visited over 20 countries, Ian was the best tour guide I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting.
Dennis was our guide on the Tanzanian side, and was equally as friendly and knowledgeable. He picked us up after we crossed the border and did a short game drive in the Northern Serengeti. We were incredibly lucky to witness the wildebeest migration across the river, see a leopard mama and her cub in a tree, and end the day with a spectacular sighting of two lions which were brothers. Finally, Dennis showed us flamingos, rhinos and more at the incredible Ngorongoro Crater, before dropping us off in Arusha, introducing us to Mr. Bavuma himself, and saying our goodbyes before departure.
The safaris, service, even the camps we stayed in while at Masai, Serengeti NP and more were all wonderful. Bavuma also offered us wonderful add-ons like the famous hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti, a tour of Mt. Kilimanjaro and many opportunities to learn more about the tribal culture of the local tribes like the Masai people.
This was a truly 5-star experience and one of the best adventures I’ve ever been on throughout the travels of my life. I would highly recommend booking a safari with Bavuma WildQuest - ask for Ian and Dennis if possible.

Amazing tour with great hospitality
Had amazing time with Edwin Safaris!
Peter, the coordinator, was the quickest to respond out of a few safari companies we reached out.
He was also very flexible and gave us multiple plans depending on budget, making sure that we are happy with everything including the price.
Very detail oriented and reliable coordinator.
Sam, our tour guide, made sure our time during tour was exciting and yet very comfortable.
He not only is so knowledgeable about the animals that you gain so many interesting insights about safari world but also has amazing hospitality that makes the long road trip much easier.
100% happy with how our 5 days turned out and will definitely recommend Edwin Safari to whoever visits Kenya!

Fabulous
Thank you so much for checking in with us.
We had an absolutely wonderful time on our safari, and we were truly impressed by the whole experience. Everything was beyond our expectations.
Especially, our stay in Serengeti was incredible. The place where we stayed was absolutely amazing, and the people who hosted us were incredibly kind, welcoming and wonderful. They made our experience even more special and memorable.
We were also very happy with our safari guide, Mikail. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and such a great conversationalist. We really enjoyed spending time with him and appreciated his warm and cheerful personality throughout the safari.
We are already dreaming about coming back to Tanzania with a group of our friends in the near future. If we have the opportunity to return, we would definitely be happy to choose you and your team again.
Thank you once again for making such an important part of our honeymoon so unforgettable. We will always remember this experience fondly. ❤️

Unforgettable Southern Africa Adventure – Seamlessly Planned by Pembury Tours!
We recently returned from an extraordinary trip through Southern Africa, taking in Chobe National Park, the Sabi Sands, and Victoria Falls—and it exceeded every expectation!
The itinerary was perfectly balanced between awe-inspiring natural wonders and world-class game viewing. From up-close wildlife encounters in the Sabi Sands to the incredible elephant herds in Chobe and the sheer majesty of Victoria Falls, every destination offered something unique and unforgettable.
Our accommodations throughout the journey were superb. We stayed in a wonderful mix of cozy guest houses, high-quality hotels, and an absolute standout luxury lodge in the Sabi Sands. Despite traveling across multiple borders, every single transfer with our drivers was completely seamless, stress-free, and punctual.
A huge thank you to Kerry at Pembury Tours, who put together this fabulous itinerary. Kerry was a absolute joy to work with—collaborative, attentive, and completely unfazed by any request or question. Her expertise and dedication made planning effortless and ensured our trip went off without a hitch.
If you are planning a trip to Southern Africa, I cannot recommend Pembury Tours and Kerry highly enough!

Excellent
I am writing to express my deepest gratitude on this final day of our wonderful 6-day, 5-night safari tour, and especially to give high praise to our driver and guide, Eric. Thanks to him, this trip has become an unforgettable experience of a lifetime.
Eric is truly an exceptional and top-notch driver. Right on our very first day in Maasai Mara, his incredible spotting skills allowed us to see four of the Big Five. He managed to locate a leopard before anyone else, arriving first at the spot while other safari vehicles followed behind. Then on day two at Lake Nakuru, he found a rhino, meaning we amazingly completed the entire Big Five in just two days!
Another huge highlight was in Amboseli. Eric departed before dawn so we could take in the breathtaking view of Mount Kilimanjaro in the morning light. He spotted a herd of elephants marching with Kilimanjaro in the background and secured the absolute best position ahead of everyone else, allowing me to capture spectacular photos and videos. On top of that, he spotted two lion cubs and expertly maneuvered the vehicle—even reversing so we could get an even better, closer look right in front of us. His driving skills and attentiveness to our viewing experience were truly wonderful.
He was always number one at spotting wildlife and always brought us to the best vantage points first. Thank you so much for introducing such a fantastic driver to us. I will definitely recommend this company and Eric to my friends and family!
Cheers to Eric, the great man who makes the impossible possible!
