Anya Jarvis is a remarkable agent to book my safari in Botswana and South Africa.
I did not want to use an US agent who really did not have an intimate first hand knowledge of the properties.
After corresponding with 7 agents via a safari booking website, I decided on Anya. Of Pembury Tour, a Cape Town company with solid reviews.
She listens carefully to what I wanted and made recommendations giving me options for an anniversary and birthday trip to Cape Town, 2 Delta and Desert safari camps in Chobe and Savute and a hotel in the wine country. You can zoom with her to plan your trip. She is a pleasure and extremely competent.
She picks up an any logistical errors I made in my planning. If you have concerns about re-packing to a duffle for the safari flights she knows exactly how to advise you the best way to approach the problem. During the trip if you want to deviate from the itinerary and go to a township outside of Cape Town, she knows how to suggest the best options. When we were staying in the wine country we experience a Cape Storm with winds and pouring rain flooding roads when we planned to use a self drive rental car ride back to Cape Town for our flight home, I called Anya. She monitored the situation, made arrangements for a professional driver to get us to the airport safe, sound and dry. She had the rental car company pick up the rental car at the hotel.
So if you want a travel agent whose mission is to give you the best trip possible and will monitor the trip to make sure it happens, Anya Jarvis is the one you should pick.

He is very knowledgeable on S.Africa
The tour was great. We’ve learnt a lot. Some of the stories are very sad but they needed to be told.

Very knowledgeable, friendly and cool.
We had a great experience with Tony. Thank you and your team.
Very much accommodating and explanatory .
I had a really nice time traveling from Nairobi to Pristine Mara lodge and it was so smooth and comfortable. The tour guide is so friendly and very explanatory when we were moving inside Maasai Mara viewing the wild animals around.
I would really recommend them and I can’t wait for my next tour.

Reliable, caring, professional and always with a smile
Geofrey was great since we contacted him for the first time. He responded in short-term, accomodated all changes we ask for in the tour, planned everything throughly and executed it professinally. The value of the tour was great in comparison to other operators and he was also a great travel partner with lots of interesting conversations. We can definitely recommend this operator and will for sure book it again when we come back to central Africa. Thank you very much.

Superb safari experience to Chobe with attentive and knowledgeable operator
We had a three-day tour starting in Victoria Falls going to Chobe and returning to Victoria Falls with Africa Uncovered Safaris. Muza, our tour guide, provided exceptional service, from the time he picked us up from our hotel in VF and returned us at the end of our tour. He was incredibly informative, punctual, and thoughtful. The safari experience - where we had an afternoon boat and 3 game drives - allowed us to see giraffes, hippos elephants, crocodiles, jackals, baboons, monkeys, a whole variety of birds giraffes and much more. The experience was incredibly well organized. Muza navigated the complex border requirements with ease staying at our side the entire time. He met with us before and after each activity, always checking in to make sure that we we happy and comfortable, and seemed genuinely interested when we shared our stories of game sightings. We are thankful for the great guidance provided by Muza and would recommend this experience to anyone

The tour operator did an excellent job providing a well organized, enjoyable, smooth tour experience
Our trip to Tanga was nothing short of incredible. From the moment everything began, it felt like a real adventure filled with beautiful scenery, exciting activities, and unforgettable moments. ✨
We explored the stunning Amboni Caves, enjoyed refreshing forest walks, took a peaceful boat ride, and spent time beach walking in such a calm and beautiful setting. One of the biggest highlights was Magoroto, where the hiking was both exciting and rewarding, with breathtaking mountain views that made every step worth it. 🌿
Staying in such an iconic place surrounded by nature and scenic beauty made the whole experience even more special. Everything was well arranged, smooth, and full of memorable experiences.
This was truly one of the most adventurous and enjoyable trips we have had, and we would highly recommend booking with this team. Highly unforgettable!

Martin was friendly and charming!
This was a great experience. Our guide, Martin, brought lots of humor and knowledge. While we didn’t see any lions, there were many other highlights: elephants, rhinos, zebras, giraffes. The lunch provided was also robust and in a beautiful location. Totally recommend.
