An unforgettable honeymoon safari, made even better by an exceptional guide and team.
We had an absolutely amazing 4-day safari in Tanzania as part of our honeymoon, visiting Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. It was genuinely the highlight of our trip.
We were incredibly lucky to see the Big Five, along with so many other animals and birds, and every day brought something different. The landscapes and wildlife were unbelievable, and having the opportunity to see everything up close is something we will never forget.
A huge thank you to our guide, Logan, who was fantastic throughout the entire safari. His knowledge of the wildlife was excellent, and he was able to tell us so much about the animals and birds we encountered.
Logan also gave us a great insight into Maasai culture and life in the local communities, which added another dimension to the trip beyond simply seeing the wildlife. He was incredibly friendly, patient and always happy to answer our questions.
One of Logan’s biggest strengths was knowing exactly where to position the jeep to give us the best possible views and photo opportunities. He clearly knew the parks extremely well and was very good at anticipating where the animals might move, which resulted in some incredible sightings and photographs. Seeing lions, elephants, cheetahs, leopards, buffalo and rhinos in such close proximity was unforgettable.
The jeep itself was also very comfortable and well equipped. There was plenty of cool drinking water and other refreshments available throughout all four days, which was particularly welcome during the longer game drives.
The whole experience was well organised and we felt safe and looked after throughout. One small area that could be improved would be having a few more opportunities for couples to have photographs taken together during the safari. We obviously took hundreds of photos of the wildlife, but as it was our honeymoon, it would have been nice to have a few more photos of us together in some of the incredible locations and landscapes.
It would also have been useful to have a better idea in advance of the driving distances and journey times between destinations. We hadn’t fully appreciated how much time would be spent driving between the different parks and accommodation, particularly as many of the locations are quite spread out. Having a clearer idea of this beforehand would have helped us know what to expect each day.
These were minor points and didn’t take away from what was otherwise an exceptional experience.
Thank you to the whole team, and especially Logan, for giving us such an incredible start to our honeymoon. We have come away with some amazing memories and photographs that we’ll be talking about for years to come. We would absolutely recommend this company and Logan to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania.

Ken was welcoming, deeply knowledgeable, and truly passionate about making our safari unforgetable
Our safari experience was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we arrived, everything was so well organized, and the entire experience felt truly special.
Our guide Kennedy, was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the wildlife. He made sure we were comfortable while also giving us an incredible opportunity to see the animals up close in their natural habitat. Every game drive brought something new and exciting, and seeing the wildlife in person was an experience I’ll never forget.
There were so many magical moments—from watching animals in the wild to taking in the breathtaking scenery and sunsets. It was the perfect combination of adventure, relaxation, and connecting with nature.
This safari exceeded my expectations, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I left with incredible memories, countless photos, and an even greater appreciation for the beauty of wildlife and nature.
Thank you for such an amazing experience and incredible adventure Kennedy!

We had great visit Victoria Falls, Hwange national park and went to Botswana to visit Chobe national park. Did the river cruise and morning and afternoon safari.

The journey of a lifetime
Tanzania was an extraordinary destination for our first safari: we had the opportunity to visit several parks, each with unique landscapes and an impressive abundance of wildlife.
We were especially thrilled by Central Serengeti, where we were lucky enough to see all the big cats at very close range, experiencing truly unforgettable emotions. In Northern Serengeti, we witnessed the great migration of the wildebeests; at Lake Manyara, we saw several species of monkeys; and in Tarangire, we encountered zebras, elephants, and giraffes.
Another place with breathtaking scenery was the Ngorongoro Crater, the only park where it’s possible to see the white rhinoceros.
Each park left us with unforgettable memories, unique encounters, and documentary‑worthy photographs.
Tanzania gifted us one of the most beautiful trips we’ve ever taken.

Everyone involved was kind, friendly, knowledgeable and solicitous to our needs.
We chose a private safari with mid- range accommodation options. I worked with Avitus to build a twelve day itinerary that included everything we wanted to see and experience. I had been on safaris in southern African countries previously, but this one surpasses them. The quality of vehicle, animal sightings, cultural experiences and driver/guide were all first rate.

Great Organization - Would Use Again
Our trip to South Africa in May was absolutely wonderful, and so much of that came down to the guidance and care we received from Kerry Ririe at Pembury Tours. Every detail felt thought through, and we always felt looked after, from the planning stages right through the trip itself.
One moment that really stood out: one of our lodgings left a tipping guide that seemed unusually high. We reached out to Kerry for a second opinion and got clear, honest guidance that helped us tip appropriately — not too much, not too little. That kind of responsiveness made a real difference.
Every stop on our itinerary was terrific, from Cape Town all the way to Sabi Sands. The only minor hiccup was the food at the first lodge we stayed at after the river cruise — dinner leaned a bit too hard into "exotic" options and felt overdone. Breakfast, on the other hand, was delicious, so it balanced out nicely.
Overall, this was a beautifully organized trip with genuine care behind every recommendation. I'd recommend Kerry and Pembury Tours without hesitation to anyone planning a trip to South Africa!

Highly Recommended Safari Company!!
We had an amazing safari experience with Tavira Africa Safaris, visiting Queen Elizabeth National Park, Lake Bunyonyi and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.
Everything was well organized from start to finish. Our guide, Williams, was fantastic throughout the entire safari. He was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every part of the journey. His knowledge of Uganda, the wildlife and the different places we visited made the experience even more special.
Queen Elizabeth National Park gave us some incredible wildlife sightings and beautiful scenery. Lake Bunyonyi was peaceful and breathtaking, making it a perfect place to relax during our journey.
The highlight was Bwindi and the unforgettable gorilla trekking experience. Seeing mountain gorillas in their natural habitat was truly a once in a lifetime experience.
The accommodation, transport and organization were excellent throughout the trip. A special thank you to Williams for taking such good care of us and making the journey fun, comfortable and memorable.
We highly recommend Tavira Africa Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Uganda. We would happily travel with them again!

6 stars tour operator
Right from the first email, At Adventure Travelling customized our tour to our desires and kept tweaking it to create the best adventure. They took great care of us from our arrival at the airport right up to the last day.
Anathé, our guide, is incredibly kind, calm, and knowledgeable. He knows all the tricks and the best places to make sure you truly see and live the safari up close. Game drives, tribe visits, cooking classes, village walkarounds — everything was perfect. The hotels, tented camps, and safari vehicle were all very comfortable.
Anathé also has excellent driving skills, which is extremely important when travelling on gravel roads and knowing where the animals hide. Even once we were in Zanzibar, the staff continued helping us remotely with snorkeling trips, taxis, and guided visits in Stone Town.
Unfortunately, we can only give 5 stars, but they are truly a 6‑star operator.
I highly recommend them. Marc and Isabelle
