He is fun, easy going, loves to laugh and partake in all the shenanigans
I had the pleasure of going on a safari tour in Kenya with an incredible guide, who was full of life, love, and adventure. Our guide was very fun and made sure we had the best time ever. He was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the area, and provided us with interesting facts and stories about the animals we saw. He was also very safety conscious and made sure that we stayed far away from the dangerous wildlife. He was very passionate about giving his guests the best experience possible and was always willing to go the extra mile to make our experience special. I would highly recommend this guide to anyone looking for an amazing safari tour in Kenya. He is truly the best!
We were a party of 7, we love Dixon!

African Welcome Safaris perfectly organized our Safari, highly recommended
It was our 4th Safari. As always Kathi responded on my many question very fast. The communication was excellent and Kathi provided us with a very informative pre Safari package which really helped us to prepare the trip. Our next Safari we will definetly book again with Kathi , a better service is not possible.
We booked a 7 nigth Safari staying in the 3 Belmond lodges in 3 totally different areas of Botswana. Starting point was River Khawi Lodge, it is a bit older, but very charming with excellent service. We were the only 2 guests during our stay in the lodge, quite special. During our stay it rained quite a lot and many animals were hidding in the bush. Still our ranger found them all. And due to the rain we saw many birds which just came to the area, I believe we found at least 150 different species of very beautiful and not so beautiful birds.
The connection between the lodges is by air, small aircrafts operated by MACK air, brandnew fleet and very safe. So we flew from Khawi to Okavango delta to the Eagle Island lodge. In this area it was still very dry, no rain, and we saw on each and every game activity everything we were looking for. The area is very animal rich. The hudge area is completly owned by Belmond, so you see no other cars during the drives. The lodge is luxurious, excellent service and food.
Our last lodge was Savuti-Chobe Elephant park third lodge, third different experiance. Also here you find many of the animals, if not all, you want to see, if your are on Safari. I had birthday during our stay and Kathi organized with the lodge a very nice private lunch in the bush, I really enjoyed it. So all 3 lodges are brilliant, but if I would need to vote, I would say this is the best lodge, but again all 3 are outstanding.
In a nutshell, I highly recommend this 3 lodge combination safari , you see different landscapes, different styles of lodges and most importantly most likely you see all animals you are looking for.
And as said at the beginning Kathi Simon and African Welcome Safari are the best for organizing this trip

Highly reliable and well planned services
My friend and I had a wonderful experience using Golden Rwanda Safaris for a day trip to Akagera National Park. Frank is very responsive and was very easy to communicate with. Since we had an evening flight, he planned everything well so that we enjoyed the entire park and were at the airport on time. Our package included pick up and drop off, park fees, breakfast and packed lunch for picnic later. We enjoyed a buffet breakfast at the scenic Akagera Game resort inside the park and got to choose from a menu of lunch sandwiches which came with fruits, snacks, package juice and water bottle.
The game drive itself was wonderful and very eventful. We got to see a variety of wildlife including antelopes, baboons, topis, giraffe, zebras, wild buffaloes, elephant, hippopotamus, and variety of cranes and birds. Just as we were giving up hope on seeing any big cats, thanks to Frank's keen eye, we got to witness a leopard hunting and chasing antelopes.
We are glad to have chosen Golden Rwanda Safaris for our trip to Akagera National Park and highly recommend his services. We greatly enjoyed having Frank as our driver and guide as he shared many facts about the history of the park, the animals, the landscape, the country and his own entrepreneurial journey. Being two female travelers in Africa for the first time, we felt quite safe and were able to sit back, relax and fully enjoy the trip. Thank you Frank for a great experience!

It was an unforgettable time. Mohamed organized an amazing adventure for us.
Mohamed was here when we needed something or had questions about the tour. Benjamin, our tour guide was honestly really amazing. He told us many many things about the wild life and the animals. The jeep was comfortable. The food was so tasty. They really did something here. The campsites were quite good. Even wifi and charger points. We‘ve seen all the big 5!! Benjamin really tried his best. The only bit negative point was the hotel in arusha. It was really noisy in the evening and at night. I would still highly highly recommend this agency and espacially Benjamin.

Reliable.
We booked for a trip to masai mara. On the day of travel, the van was on time and a very friendly driver picked my family and drove us to our destination. We had a few stop overs on our way to enjoy mother nature's sceneries. The tours in masai mara we're wonderful, took lots of pics with the family. It was an excellent vacation.

Incredable Once in a Lifetime Trip - Thanks Pembury!
I can’t say enough good things about Pembury overall, and the personalized elite service provided by Heidi (our contact person).
Pembury’s website provided excellent detail and usability. I was able to come up with a tentative plan just based on the extensive information available.
The prices they were able to quote were below every other safari booking service that I checked with, and therefore, I can’t imagine a better value!
We explained to Heidi upfront that we had a unique opportunity that included a month of holiday time, and consequently, we wanted to take a once-in-a-lifetime trip to South Africa. Heidi provided us with several options, highlighted areas that she felt couldn’t be skipped, and outlined trade-offs when it came to other experiences. She was great about asking for preferences, and trying to figure out exactly where we felt it was worth paying a little more for something that would make a huge difference for us personally vs a luxury we didn’t think we needed.
All of that said, the biggest reason to go with Pembury is the exceptional level of personalized service. The email response time on Heidi’s part was excellent throughout the onboarding and payment process, and was top notch throughout our trip. She was able to aggregate information from other Pembury customers and get up-to-the-day feedback that she could use to adapt our itinerary if we were so inclined. Consequently, we weren’t stuck reading reviews from 3+ years ago, and left with subpar decisions as circumstances changed on the ground.
Every single one of the activities and accommodations provided by Heidi more than lived up to their billing and we couldn’t be happier with our choice of Pembury to plan our holiday!

Amazing Tanzania safari
Beyond expectations! We got an amazing guide Peter with which we had amazing conversation, all accommodations were top notch, good food (would have liked to experience more of the local food maybe) and I’m happy to say we saw all the animals we wanted and then some. December is a good month to visit Tanzania. Thank you so much Erick for arrange our trip, we had a blast! We couldn’t have had a better experience! I highly recommend Alpine chat adventure.

3 amazing days !
We spent 3 memorable safari days between Lake Manyara, Tarangire and Ngorongoro with our guide, Thomas! Too bad we couldn't see more animals in Tarangire because they were most certainly hiding. Otherwise, everything was perfect from start to finish.
