Perfect tour of Nairobi National Park
Trailfinders organised a half-day trip to Nairobi National Park for me. The price was competitive given that I ended up being the only person on the tour, so it was effectively a private tour. I was picked up on time from the hotel, and my guide was very knowledgeable and went to great lengths to make sure I experience all the wildlife, in particular he tracked down 2 female lions hiding in the bush in the middle of nowhere, as the lions didn’t seem to want to show themselves on that day :) highly recommended!

Three time winner!
For the third time I put together (persuaded) five friends to join me on another Kruger Park safari in September/October 2022. I have always asked Melanie to make recommendations and to plan my trips. I find her to be one of the most conscientious and detail-oriented planners I have met. We spent time at three lodges, from a well-established safari lodge in Sabi Sands, to a Manyeleti lodge and finally to a quite new tented lodge in the Timbavati. I should add that the last reservation was originally at a different lodge until (fairly late in the process) that lodge decided they were closing for renovations. Melanie handle it all with quiet competence keeping us informed as she dotted every i and crossed every T. We were informed at every juncture and we knew exactly how our journey would play out. Whether you are an old "Africa" hand or a complete "newbie" you cannot go wrong with Pembury. We had a wonderful time with all the small details that got added including a special private dinner celebration for one couple's wedding anniversary. Our photographs show wonderful sightings, what they don't show are the huge smiles behind the cameras. Value for money? Absolutely! Reliability? Unquestionably! Communications? Unmatched! The tour itself? A dream come true!

Very good and hardworking guides. Very nice people and great gear!
The communication with Marku (the manger) via WhatsApp was very quick and easy, he built itinerary with the reserves we wanted to see.
The service was amazing, Marku and our guide (William) came to our hotel the night before so we can meet them (and pay), and all along the safari William was very helpful tried his best so we can see the animals we were most passionate about.
When we compared prices, their price was better than the other recommended operators, and we feel that the value for money (we did 6 days camping) was very good.
This is a highly recommended company!

The journey of a lifetime
Thank you for the journey of a lifetime. Despite several obstacles, we managed to climb Kilimanjaro, a beautiful but also remarkable mountain. The Kilismile team was always ready to help, which turned out to be especially important in the summit attack. They took care of our well-being and meals - ginger tea every day to wake up, and fries at Karanga Camp - a shock! - Yum Yum :)
The trip to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and the heart of the Serengeti allowed us to get to know unspoiled Africa, the vastness of the savannah and the life of wild animals. Special thanks to Hamadi Junior for the perfect guidance of the expedition!

Quality Company, Quality Safari
We had an excellent experience with Back of Africa on our recent Kenyan Safari! Our guide Simon was fantastic - it was like he had a sixth sense to determine where we would find animals and be able to drive very close to them. He was fun, knowledgable and very professional. The quality of the lodgings were very good to excellent, our Land Cruiser was the perfect way to drive around the savanna and the animals we saw (and pictures we got) were amazing! Highly recommended!

A dream come true
We chose Saunterland Africa Tours to do the safari of our honeymoon and it could not have been a more successful idea! With James (the owner ) we have a fantastic communication and he cares a lot that his clients are happy and their safaris adjust to their requests, everything was adapted to our ideas and budget, as soon as our guide Alex we only have words of thanks, thanks to him we were able to see the big 5 and everything was explained in our language (Spanish) he works hard to find all the animals and take you to beautiful places, he was also very polite and also funny, we will never forget you Alex thank you for all! Both are great professionals who care that your trip is perfect. The Saunterland team made our dream come true, they are 100% recommended and we will choose them again on our next safari. Thanks for everything. Xxx

Very supportive, reliable and client oriented
We booked a 7 days private safari tour via Alligator Adventures Tours (Maasai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli)
During requesting a quote and booking process, Meshak was very helpful, friendly and answered all our question (we had quite a lot of them :D).
We were kindly welcomed by Meshak and his colleague at the airport early in the morning and escorted to our car. After giving us all necessary instructions, we started our great tour.
The tour was very well organized and everything went as planned.
Big thanks to our great driver Francis! He was very professional, experienced and has a decent knowledge about all national parks that we visited.
We highly recommend this operator!

Our family away from home
We have been to Tanzania to climb mount Kilimanjaro on Marangu route as a group of eight. The hike was not an easy one but our team was amazing (guides,porters,cook,etc) at suporting us every step of the way. These are sweet, humble people that do their absolute best to help you. Our cook was amazing, food was unexpectedly good for a mountain hike, we even got pasta and pizzas which is not something you usually expect in these situations. Accomodation before and after the hike was luxury, a nice retreat afer 7 hard days on the mountain! Food is generally tasty and fresh, prepared from local ingredients.
Our Safari guide had extensive knowledge about wildlife and a lot of passion for what he was doing, improving our already amazing safari experience.
On top of that, driving around the city on Tuku Tukus, shopping at the fruit market or swimming in the lagoon were also organized by our local guide. Overall this is an experience we highly recommend!
Ps: please keep in mind that tipping in Tanzania is requested and highly appreciated!
