Very well organised, prompt communication and good service.
We took the four day safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. It was a great experience, very well organised, the pickup and drop-off from the airport and the accommodation and meals the day before and after make it all a very convenient experience. Nelson was very prompt at answering questions on WhatsApp and before booking, he sent us a clear plan and price and it all went ahead as planned.
We saw lots of animals, our guide had unbelievable eyesight and he was very experienced and spotted animals in the craziest places, which was amazing!! We missed him saying a few sentences about the parks to introduce them but when asked questions he was very knowledgeable. The food was amazing, really tasty, fresh and varied. The vehicle was comfortable and there were plugs to charge phones in both the vehicle and the dining halls of camps.
The reasons this review is 4 starts:
The camps were better than expected, clean tents, clean toilet facilities, most had free wifi and it was well organised with the chef and camp staff setting everything up for our comfort. However it would have cost little extra effort to make sure that there was toilet paper and hand soap provided and that the sleeping bags and pillows are washed. They were very smelly. Luckily we had a roll of toilet paper in our bag but I can't imagine what we would have done in the middle of nowhere without any. The washing I think is simple and part of basic hygiene, especially when travelling with a limited amount of clothes, you don't want them to be smelly like the sleeping bags.
There was no wifi or hot water in the hostel for the night before and after. Again, we had a sim card so wifi wasn't a massive issue, but I think most travellers would either expect wifi or expect to be warned to buy a sim card. Same with the cold water. On the safari I understand that it's difficult to provide and we kind of expected that and coped. But it would have been nice to know there is none in the hostel either.
Overall it was a great experience and we would book again without hesitation, but these few things are simple to improve and would have a very positive effect.

Both JP and Bakkies are fantastic.
We went for two tours back to back with gotouchdown. JP was our guy in Cape Town tour. He took good care of us in any way he can. We stayed in Stillness for the entire week. The amenity was not the best in my opinion. However the staffs and chiefs were great. We had the best restaurant experiences in Cape Town. It seemed each was better than the last one. Hands down for the restaurant selections. Bakkies was our guide for Safari tour. We love him. We love the two nights stayed in Dunkle estate, such a beautiful piece of property. Humala and Seasons is so so. Unfortunately, the only time we have Wi-Fi in our room was in Dunkle. We saw many animals. Lion park was totally not worth it. We felt sad to see the condition the animals in. They are in big cages there. The safari in Pilanesberg is top notch.

Excellent motivator and a good tour guide The
Traveling with Petnah Africa Tours and Travel was an experience worth repeating, the communication was tick, we were given information on time, our travel arrangements, we’re received and directed on what to do before the travel, the service in it self was very good, everything we wanted was implemented, the driver was an additional bonus, we were taken care of and our needs met. We all felt our money was well spent and I know I can rely on them again.

Very Good
I booked a last minute three day safari to Amboseli National Park.
The Ol Tukai Lodge was very good and the staff and service excellent.
My driver and guide for the trip was very good and I was lucky enough to see lions and cheetah
close up. on the second day the clouds lifted and I had a lovely picture postcard view of Kilimanjaro. For me this was a very worthwhile trip . Thankyou Lizzie
(organiser) and Boniface my guide for the trip.

Perfect Private safari
We contacted many tour operators in Kenya. We were planning for our 3rd anniversary and had no idea where to go. My friend recommended kenamoti tours .
Our communication point was Amos the owner. Very responsive on-time good communication skills.
They gave us several options to choose . They tailored the whole trip for us to enjoy Maasai Mara,amboseli NAT park, Tsavo east and even time spent on the white sands beach of Kenya.
We got some customised Kenyan attire for our anniversary. They went an extra mile to ensure we got the beach ride on the last minute.
Nice time spent would definitely come back again.
Thankyou kenamoti tours

Well organized
We did a 3-day-safari Masai Mara NP. Ken was an extremely good driver. He managed the roads very good.
We saw a lot of animals there like zebras, elephants, lions, cheetahs, hyenas, shakals,...
Mika gave us a nice service (pick up at hotel, organize taxi for driving home, money transfer). We felt comfortable with that. We stepped easily from one step to the other the whole trip. Meals were good.
We would have wished more explanations about what we saw in the park, some informations about the animals.
So, you have to ask if you want to know something :)

Great family group tour to Kenya. Forever an impressive memory.
We had a fantastic trip to Kenya with our 7 (in-law) children. From the start there was good communication with Africa travel. Traveling is traveling and sometimes things don't go as expected. Nice that there is a host in Kenya who can call you immediately and provide a solution.
We had wonderful guides for 7 days, who were able to provide a lot of information about Kenya, the flora and fauna. We have done wonderful safaris. Lions, Cheetahs, Giraffes, Elephants, Buffaloes, it was so special and amazing.
What surprised us in Kenya were the people who always wanted to sell us something.
You have to haggle on the price. We also found it difficult to determine how much tip you give to everyone who wants to do something for you. We traveled a lot in 13 days, I would like to travel a little less next time and plan a little more rest moments.
