Unforgettable Safari Experience
We had an incredible experience with Kiliholidays. Mack the manager made sure to tailor our itinerary according to our flight, and that he booked us in for the best medium range accomodation, which was in fact luxury. Our guide Godson was absolutely amazing, so professional and knowledgeable. His driving is perfect, calm and composed. With him, we saw literally all the animals we could possibly see in our 3 days, including the difficult to see big cats. We learned so much from him about the animal kingdom, nature, and about Tanzania as a whole. Would highly recommend Kiliholidays to anyone looking for a once in a lifetime experience!

Magnificently
My childhood dream came to the truth thanks to our guide Bashiru. We spent two divine days. We saw all the animals and beloved in Safari. Again thanks to our guide. He contrived to find any animals. And in my second Safari trip the guide will be only Bashiru. Asante sana.

Wonderful Tour Company!
Thanks to Pembury Tours and our agent, Anya Visser, we had the most wonderful trip to South Africa! Based on our general description of what we wanted (e.g., to see the animals and enjoy lovely lodges), Anya skillfully created a custom itinerary that exceeded our expectations and yet met our budget. She arranged for us to spend 3 nights each at the Sabi Sands and Timbavati game reserves, with a 2 night interlude between them at the fabulous umVangati House in the Blyde River Canyon area.
Both bush camps had expert guides, delicious food, and top notch accommodations. We had 2 game drives a day, with close-up sightings of the Big 5 (elephants, lions, leopards, rhinoceroses, and Cape buffalo) as well as numerous other animals such as giraffes, crocodiles, baboons, monkeys, zebras, impalas, antelopes, hyenas, and hippopotamuses. Many of the animals had babies which made the viewing even more special.
Our 2-day visit to the Blyde River Canyon area was magical. The third largest in the world, the Blyde River Canyon has incredible scenery and views. Our lodging at the umVangati House (located in a private nature preserve) was a 5-star experience — exceptional hosts, amazing food, fantastic accommodations, and spectacular views.
The entire trip was seamless; Anya arranged escorts for us at each destination to ensure transportation was smooth and timely, and everything was taken care of in advance so we could just relax and enjoy our trip. Anya was exceptionally easy to deal with and professional, and went out of her way to ensure the trip was everything we could have wanted. She even arranged COVID testing for us so we could meet travel requirements within time restrictions.
We would not have been able to experience a trip like this without the expertise and attention to detail that Anya and Pembury Tours provided. It was the trip of a lifetime. We highly recommend Pembury Tours to anyone wanting a fun and relaxing trip — they are the best!

Great Experience On Kilimanjaro
In August 2021, I traveled to Tanzania with my brother to fulfill a lifelong dream of climbing Mt Kilimanjaro. After much research, we went with Lappet Faced Safaris and were so glad that we did. Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro we met their representative (Francisco) who picked us and transferred us to Panama Hotel in Moshi. Later in the evening we met with our guides who briefed us on our upcoming trek, and then went to our rooms to check our equipment to make sure that we were properly prepared. Once the trek started, we were given a daily medical check to monitor our vital signs to ensure that we could continue each day without health issues.Lappet faced safari guides are all medically trained and brought along oxygen, glucose, a stretcher and a portable hyperbaric chamber on the climb. The cook was extraordinary, every meal was warm, delicious and nutritious, and consisted of several courses to satisfy our high altitude nutritional needs. Including my brother and myself, there were five people in our group, and we all made it to Uhuru Peak on kilimanjaro 7 days Lemosho route to the top. Climbing Kilimanjaro is a life-changing experience, and there is no doubt in my mind that Lappet Faced Safaris expertise and care are what got us to the top. They are simply the best trekking company on the mountain.

A Dream Come True
After changing our wedding twice because of COVID we finally were able to do it. We were very nervous to do our Honeymoon right after the wedding because of COVID restrictions, but Shikwaru made everything possible.
They were SUPER communicative before we booked (we exchanged like 20 emails prior to our arrival). We had 8 amazing days with them, since minute one everything was arranged. They picked us up at the airport, they sent us the itinerary on advance, they gave us recommendations of what to wear for the excursions, how much money to pay for tips for the locals, they have all the knowledge of the country, the people, the culture, the animals and the hotel selection was amazing.
We did hiking, safari, exploring, elephant experience, and surprise private dinners. All the details of the trip made us feel so special.
My favorite memory of my honeymoon that will last forever was in a lodge that Shikwaru chose for us, my husband and I looking at the stars from our glamping bathtub listening to Hippos, an incredible experience.
I want all my trips to be with Shikwaru!!! I wish they were all over the world! I would book my honeymoon with them 100 times more! And they speak Spanish for me, being a Mexican with an American husband made everything super easy!

Amazing experience!!!
We had an amazing experience in Tanzania thanks to Colours Africa Team. This trip was well beyond our expectations and is one of the most beautiful trip I've made so far!
Colours Africa helped us to plan our trip according to our expectations and wishes. They answered all our questions very quickly and perfectly organized our 7 days of travel according to our requests. We did 1 day hike kilimanjaro, 1 day Materuni village, watefalls and hotsprings and 5 days of safari - Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara. They picked us up from the airport and took care of us perfectly.
All our guides were young, friendly and very dynamic. They have a lot of knowledge and answered all our questions about fauna, flora, animals, landscapes and Tanzania. The cook prepared very good and varied dishes every day.
Thanks again to Francis, Emmanuel, Nasri, Lucas, Nathanael and Colours Africa Team! I can't recommend them highly enough!!

Wow! What an incredible experience
Alex and Kathi arranged a wonderful trip for our group of 6 U.S. travelers.
It was rescheduled at least 3 times due to Covid restrictions, but they continued to work with us to come up with an amazing adventure.
Each of the properties that they reserved for us was first class and each was a unique property.
The drivers/guides were knowledgeable and added greatly to the experience.
Kathi was always available to promptly resolve any issues that arose.
We visited South Africa, Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Rwanda.
We would not hesitate to refer African Welcome for your trip to Africa.

Very accommodating and knowledgable
We had a lovely time in our 3 day safari with Africa Flash McTours and Travel. Starting with a really easy and accommodating way of communication before the travels with Peter, to a really perfect trip in Masai Mara with our guide Edward!! We had so much fun, saw so many animals and learned so much about Kenyan wildlife. We stayed at Basecamp Masai Mara which was also a really nice location, good food and good vibes. Would book again with Flash McTours and Travel!

Unforgettable experience
We could not have chosen a better company to partner with for our Safari experience. The accomodations were perfect, food was amazing and our guide Ombeni was the best part of the trip: knowledgable, fun and overall lovely.
Thank you Gosheni for the best Tanzania Safari experience we could ever ask for!
