Fraudsters
They defrauded my group that paid for a trip to St Andrews. Matter now a police case but they should neither be in the hospitality or golf industry. David Meiring and his partner are crooks be very careful dealing with them

Amazing experience - everything was professional and well planned.
Amazing experience! The guide was very good and had so much information about all of the animals. He was very keen on taking us to many different kind of animals and not just the ‘popular’ ones. Very authentic to sleep in the nature. It is very cold in NgoroNgoro, remember to bring warm clothes. The food was very nice, especially the breakfast. Can definitely recommend this company - I feel like it is the best experience to the absolute best price. They also offer transport to and from the airport and the manager will come the day before departure and explain about the trip

Amazing Experience
We only did the two day safari however we saw plenty of wild live in those two days and mainly due to our guide Bashiru. We went on the dry season wich made the task a lot more difficult, however Bashiru tried his best for us to see all of the big 5 and we only missed on the difficult ones wich due to the time that we were on the safari was always a big possibility and we were aware of that.
It was truly a once in a lifetime experience and we truly recommend everyone to do it and if you do it ask for Bashiru.

Utter Perfection
This trip has been my on my bucket list for as long as I could remember. I had always wanted to go on an African Safari. I reached out to Pembury tours and Kerry took care of everything for us. She created multiple itineraries based on our wants and desires allowing us to pick which one we felt like we would most enjoy. Plus she was willing to adapt to any requests that we had. We communicated everything via e-mail and she was quick to get us answers or just let us know that things were being worked on. Right before the trip Kerry reached out with her WhatsApp information so that we could communicate quickly while on the trip. She was also kind enough to check up on us partway through to hear how everything was going.
We did run into travel issues (flight cancellation) getting to South Africa and had to let Kerry know that we wouldn't make it the day we were supposed to. She was great to rearrange things to allow us to do as much as possible with the loss of a day in Cape Town.
Our trip was absolutely amazing! It honestly surpassed all of our expectations and I don't think we could have hoped for anything more. Out of the 3 different safari areas, our favorite was Simbavati, but that might have been due to the fact that it was our very first safari ever, we were able to see all of the Big 5, AND we were lucky enough to see the wild dogs (twice!) while there. Inyati had unparalleled viewing of leopards with them being so comfortable around vehicles and we were even fortunate enough to witness leopards mating. We were able to see all of the Big 5 here as well. The Hide had the best viewing for elephants with herds coming to the watering hole every evening, it was so fascinating to see the group dynamics of different elephant herds, especially from the 'hide' that they have that allows guests to get close to the watering hole using an underground tunnel. It was here that our safari vehicle was charged by a bull elephant (talk about an adrenaline rush), but the guide had everything in hand and was able to de-escalate the situation.
Cape Town was stunning and we wished we would have been able to spend 2 days there, but travel issues happen and we were just so happy with what we were able to fit in during the single day.
Victoria Falls was breathtaking. We had seen pictures, but no picture could do it justice and we were so pleased to be able to spend time there and see the falls. We really enjoyed both the dinner cruise and the tour of Victoria Falls.
Absolutely all of our accommodations were perfect and the food was delicious. We didn't notice any staffing shortages and were very well taken care of at each location. In fact, we feel like we lucked out because it appeared that most things were back to normal, but there weren't as many people, so we got to enjoy everything with smaller crowds.
I've told all my friends and family that if you're looking for a perfect experience, to use Pembury tours. All transfers and rides were set up for us so we never had to worry about any of that which just made the entire trip so much easier to enjoy.

Perfectly organised, super responsive, reliable. Great and very knowledgable guide(s).
To summarise, we had an absolutely wonderful time with Sino Africa in Kenya. While traveling with 2 kids (9y,11y) I knew it might be tricky to keep them mostly in car for 6 days. However, with Sino Africa, namely Jong and Solomon, we've managed to make our Kenya safari to be a super memorable trip for our family. Jong explained and recommended with a great patience all possible itineraries and lodgings. He responded swiftly and always provided complex and reliable information. Which definitely wasn't a case for other 10+ safari tour operators I've contacted along the way...
We've opted for a combination of Amboseli NP, Lake Nakuru and finally Masai Mara NP. We greeted with Solomon, our guide, in Nairobi on Monday morning and we spent next 6 days under his kind supervision and knowledgeable guidance. Thanks to Solomon, we've seen so many animals so super close, we've never hoped for. We've learned so much about their natural habitat and way of living and coexisting with local people. We also found a great companion to talk about any topic of interest during our trip. We've seen 4 out of 5 Big Five, but with no regret - it means we a have a reason to return :) We were absolutely amazed to see cheetah hunting gazelle in Amboseli and Solomon brought us so very close to young lions in Mara. Honestly, we were blown away by mere number of wild animals that live in Kenya and can be seen so closed...
Definitely worth a trip!

All three tour operators were awesome!
We had John, Aladin, and Simone as our tour operator in various part of Kenya and Tanzania. They were all fantastic. They were able to navigate the area and found may interesting encounters with the animals. The best part about the trip was the part where Aladin helped us visited a >20 min long of the wildebeest river crossing. That was amazing! My family and I had a terrific time.

Best Uganda Tour Operator
We (family of 6 adults) used Bamboo Ecotours to book our 6 day adventure to Uganda. Every part of the trip went very smoothly. First the booking was a breeze. I had originally contacted 3 tour companies, but Edison was always the quickest to respond, had great itinerary ideas and hotel suggestions and had the lowest price. Our guide was Fred who picked us up in a new safari Jeep that comfortably fit all 6 of us. Fred was always very organized and was a great driver (because many of the roads were very rough). We did the moderate price lodges which were all beautiful and different. Several had swimming pools that made it relaxing at the end of the day to cool off and have a beer. I think my favorite was Rwakobo Rock. Beware there is a lot of driving on this itinerary, but you see so much too. The first day was mostly driving to Kabile National Park, but day two we trekked Chimps. The following day we saw lions, elephant and water buffalo at Queen Elizabeth NP. The next day was the big day to see a troop of 14 gorillas. The final two days were in Lake Mburo NP were we saw zebras, giraffes and were lucky enough to see two leopards hunting, also saw lots of hippo and crocs on the lake. I highly recommend this tour company. There isn't anything I would have changed about our trip.

Great Tour
Tour was very good. Balam, our guide, was great - his knowledge really was amazing. Everything went smoothly with Home to Africa. We were a little unimpressed with some of the lodges, largely because they were being renovated while we were staying there.

Responsive and Accommodating Operator and an Unforgettable Experience!
Working with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions and Paul to set up the safari was a great experience. Paul was very responsive and always patient with the questions I had. This trip was organized as part of my honeymoon and Paul must've put in a good word at the lodges we stayed at because there was always a little something for us to make the trip extra special. What a nice touch!
Our safari guide, Sele, was amazing! Sele is one of the kindest, most knowledgeable, and hard working people we had the privilege of spending 3 days with. He was always excited to go for our game drives and able to see animals from a distance. He put us in some pretty incredible positions to experience the wildlife and make memories that will last my wife and I's lifetime.
Overall, booking with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions was a great experience and I would highly recommend them to anyone else considering this operator!
