Perfect organized 7 days safari in Kenya
We, me and my wife, spent a wonderful 7 days safari with Bienvenido from Nairobi hotel to Nairobi Airport, including Masai Mara, Lakes Nakuru and Naivasha, Hell Gates National Park and finaly Amboseli with view of Kilimanjaro. Everything was absolutely perfect. It was a shared mid-range cathegory tour.
Prepayment was easy and safe. Pick-up in the hotel was ponctual. Felix, our driver and guide, was excellent. Well informative and kind. The car was clean every morning despite the road not being easy at all.
Accommodations were also good, in Jumbo Mara Lodge, Waterbuck and Masada hotels, and AA Lodge in Amboseli, thanks. Meals were also corrects including the lunch boxes.
I recommend from my heart this Bienvenido Kenya Tours and Safaris Agency.

On day 4 we were taken to the train station where we could enjoy our stay in Mombasa
You feel safe and in good hands

Best in class service + female owned company = highest recommendation
"I travel often to Uganda for work and used Gazelle Safari this time to organize our overland transport and accommodations (we used BIC tours previously). During the time leading up to our trip, Ann always responded to emails within 24 hours. Upon arrival, she met me at the airport with a warm and welcoming smile with water and cookies on hand and loaned me a local SIM card (big time saver).
When one of our travelers missed her connection to Entebbe and hence couldn’t join our overland van to Kanungu district (11 hour drive away), Ann arranged a last minute flight and airport transfers for her to join us - even making a personal deposit for the flight on our traveler’s behalf.
She is reachable via WhatsApp and responds quickly with answers to all questions, helping to solve problems and make things as easy and stress free as possible. For example, when we needed to pay for the new Ugandan social media tax, she quickly did this for us while we were on the road and didn’t have time to figure this out ourselves.
Ann will go above and beyond to give the best service possible. I recommend her to all travelers coming to Uganda - whether for business or personal travel.
(PS - It’s good to know that when you pay the remaining balance of your trip in cash on arrival, you should pay using USD in $100 bill denominations - and if you need to pay with a small portion using smaller bills, they must be printed after 2009 without any tears or ink stains. All bills should be clean and pristine. When exchanging money at forex counters you will also get a worse rate if you have $20 bills which are old and worn out.)"

The tour operator that provides more than just safari adventures
The reason why I enjoyed my trip to Tansania so much was that it did not only consist of spectacular Safari moments seeing Lions hunt or elephant herd crossing the street in front of us, but also allowed visiting projects to improve health care, professional trainings and care for people with special needs. The camps/hotels where we stayed were individual projects not belonging to large hotel companies, having their own charm and always allowed us to be close to nature and were managed in a sustainable manner. As an operator the people behind Tarakwai were always approachable and ready to help and flexibly adjust programs to the groups wishes. The pricing of the tour was reasonable given the broad range of experiences that were offered. Overall highly recommendable for travellers who would like to experience Tanzani off the beaten track.

A lifetime memories
This was a lifetime memories. I booked the last minute holidays and Massawe Adventure sent me my Itinerary the following day. Everything was well organised. The driver (Moses) was spotting the wild animals from unbelievable distances. The lodge serves the best food and everything was prepared fresh. This will be forever lifetime memories - many thanks to Idda and everyone on Massawe Adventures.

Professional and attentive.
A wonderful experience with great personal attention from Jon who had clearly considered all our needs and those small touches that make a trip special. Jon is personable, informative and professional. His time keeping is excellent which was greatly appreciated. From the initial contact to the final drop off we were in great hands. I highly recommend Jon to organise a trip. He is accommodating and lets you know the pros and alternatives of what you want to do. February was the perfect month to see the gorillas and we were not disappointed. I would happily do another trip with Jon.

Awesome Journey
Tour Operator was Pembury Tours; Gail was our Representative.
Our trip was affected by the flood. Both Timbavati & Sabi Sands were inaccessible. Gail was great in arranging other lodging for us, Simbavati Waterside & Kambaku River Sands. Both were fantastic.
Great atmosphere. Staff were friendly & very attentive.
Rooms were huge & very clean. Food was delicious. Game Drive Guides & Trackers, Michael & Jeffery at Waterside, JuJu & Douglas at Kambaku, were exceptional. They made sure we saw everything there was to be seen, up close & personal yet safe.
At first I was disappointed. I had wanted to go to Sabi Sands for years; however, I would not trade my experiences at these two lodges.
I would definitely recommend Pembury Tours & Gail for any travel needs.
