Amazing Safari Experience
Jane was exceptional at responding to any and all inquiries. During our safari, she continued to be responsive through Whatsapp. We booked the 7-day Kenya-Tanzania loop from October 5-13, 2022, that included Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Amboseli. We highly recommend it. Each environmental was different, but the Serengeti was the highlight. We were lucky to have Stewart as our guide in the Serengeti and Samwell as our guide in Amboseli. Although each camp/lodge was great, we especially enjoyed Tortillis Camp and Ngorongoro Farmhouse.

The best safari experience with the best guide.
My wife and I have just returned from a 5-day safari with Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club (KASC). I cannot emphasize enough our level of satisfaction. We had a complete experience that started with the sensitive process of defining the route, the level of the lodges, and the price. I must say that, after comparing several proposals from different companies, we found the program and cost offered by KASC the best option in terms of value for money. And we are even more certain now. Then the small but important details like feeling they think about our needs. Even when we were boarding our flight, we received a message wishing us a safe flight. The company was aware we were boarding. The pick-up was smooth, we were greeted by Adam and his big and warm smile, our wonderful guide from that moment. Adam is exactly what you expect from a guide in a safari. Someone intelligent, with a perfect English, a college graduate who has worked for years in national parks. A responsible driver who made us feel completely safe in the comfortable Toyota Landcruiser safari vehicle, even when driving conditions were challenging. Very experienced as a guide, it was like he knew the psychologies of every species we encountered, what the elephants mean by their behavior, when the Chita will attack, why in some species like lions or buffalos the old males are alone, etc, etc. Adam was also funny, and he shared with us interesting stories that we enjoyed listening and appreciating the way he was raised. We highly recommend KASC, and we thank them for the unforgettable memories that will remain with us forever.

Amazing and excellent
I had been thinking of the perfect gift to give to my mum on her 60th birthday did my window shopping and saw amazing reviews of African challenge safaris I wrote them an email and they came up with an excellent package for us.I was excited because my mum has never been to the Maasai Mara.On that day the driver picked us up at our house and we were at Karen blixen Maasai Mara at 10am on arrival we were welcomed very warmly by the staff it felt like home we checked in at 11:30 and we were given our itinerary what made this trip special is the fact that African Challenge Safaris organized a cake for my mum without our knowledge we were so surprised after having dinner the staff came singing while holding the cake best birthday ever my mom said from the staff at Karen blixen to our amazing driver and most of all Mr.Kennedy for giving us the best package and organizing the surprise cake as well.Thank you for making my mum feel special and loved, I would recommend them to anyone who wants an out of the world experience.

Lifetime Memories in African Safari and Rwandan Gorilla Trekking
I had an amazing trip with memories to last a lifetime. I have recommended Pembury Tours to many people I met along my time spent in Africa. I always felt very safe and taken care of and my itinerary was superb! I appreciate their assistance and timely replies every message I sent. I will use them again in the future!

Amazing Tour
I met Native Afrika through a high school friend who was in Kenya and Tanzania with them a month before my travel. Charity was just amazing and sent us different options that we were confused on which one to choose. after discussing on what we really wanted we settled on 7 days Kenya Tanzania safari from Masai Mara, Serengeti, ngorogoro crater and Amboseli. The guides on both sides (since we could not continue with the same guide from Kenya) was amazing and did everything to make us see all animals.
There was 3 hours delay at the boarder because we did not know about the yellow fever injection was necessary in Tanzania (I think this should be included in the information) but they were able to arrange and finally we got the injections at the border.
the whole experience was worth every coin, and we were very happy by all the assistance including at the border and the guides. thank you, David and Sam, for the best tour to Africa.

CJA put together a stunning experience for us, with competent, hospitable and thoughtful staff.
We will be raving about this trip for years. During 10 days in Amboseli NP, Lake Naivasha and the Maasai Mara, we saw (often from just a few meters away) every wild animal we could have imagined, and many more. We were so impressed that policies controlling poaching (and some irresponsible tour operators) were so effective that animals lived out their lives as though we weren't even there.
We spent 10 days in the hands of our driver Jack and the good folks at CJA, at five different resorts. Every single person we encountered was friendly, polite, and oh-so-helpful. Staff were always able to keep us safe, informed and on schedule, and the entire operation ran as smooth as could be.
Being in one vehicle and having one driver for the entire trip was just brilliant. Jack was alert (he saw wildlife far before us!), thoughtful and very well informed. He rapidly got a handle on what interested us most (for me, an understanding of how different animals interacted on the landscape) and made dozens of small choices to help create the best experience possible. Also, this trip was entirely on surface transport - no planes. The road time was by no means wasted -- we got to see the countryside and small towns, crops and herds, and the many ways people lived their public lives.

One of the best if not the best safari company in Tanzania
One of the best if not the best safari company in Tanzania. Everything was just fine. Before the trip we had a very friendly and well organized correspondence with the manager Peter. The safari itself went absolutely perfectly. Our guide Ombeni was super friendly and very professional. He is definitely an expert at his job. So I can really recommend this guy to you!

Professional, polite, and knowledgeable
wanted to do a last minute safari and Suricata helped me fit in Tarangire and Lake Manyara for a reasonable price! They are very professional and knowledgeable about the animals. The food was great! The only problem is that I couldn't stay longer! (had to leave because of work

Fabulous well organized trip.
My review will echo all the other reviews. Highly organized. Very impressive. The staff at the camps and boutique hotels always expected our arrival. They called us by name and always new exactly what tours we were doing. I never once showed a voucher that Chris sent us. Everyone was always punctual,enthusiastic knowledgeable and FUN! Great communication with Chris and the staff. As this trip was originally planned for 2020, we had lots of communication with Chris. I always felt confident that the trip would eventually happen. Chris managed to get refunds for our international flights. We did the East Africa safari and the South Africa tour. All accommodations were lovely.
The only thing I would have liked to have change is another night at the Escarpment luxury lodge…our final stay of the safari. It was truly fantastic and lovely. Best for last! I would have also liked to have added 2 more nights in Knysna, South Africa. The boutique hotel was spa like and relaxing and there is lots to do and see in this stunningly beautiful area. We didn’t have time with 2 nights to do it all.
Highly recommend this tour and this company. The trip was beyond our expectations.
