    · September 11th, 2025
    Pam Tours and Travel gave us the ideal mix of excitement and romance. Zack made sure our game drives were filled with thrilling animal encounters - lions, elephants, and hippos were just some of the highlights. ‎At the same time, he respected our need for private moments, which we enjoyed over candle-lit dinners and quiet evenings in dreamy tented accommodations. ‎Meals were fresh , transport was private and clean, and the schedule was perfectly balanced. ‎For couples wanting both adventure and intimacy, this safari is unmatched. The value for money was outstanding, especially given the unforgettable memories created together.

    Traveling with three generations can be tricky, but Pam Tours and Travel made it easy. ‎ ‎Meta ensured that the little ones stayed entertained, while the grandparents enjoyed a slower pace without missing out on the action. ‎ ‎We saw animals beyond what we hoped — lions lounging, elephants playing in mud, and even a hyena pack. Meals were served promptly and catered to everyone’s tastes, while the accommodations struck the perfect balance between comfort and authenticity. ‎ ‎Not mention spacious and reliable transport ,making moving as a group stress-free. This safari was wonderful value for money and created priceless memories for our family.

    We originally chose Pam Tours and Travel because of their affordable pricing, but the quality of the experience far exceeded our expectations. ‎ ‎Sammy, our guide, was exceptional — knowledgeable, kind, and determined to show us as many animals as possible. We saw lions, zebras, elephants, and more, all from comfortable transport that handled the terrain easily. ‎ ‎Meals were simple but tasty, accommodations were neat, safe, and welcoming, and the level of service made us feel valued. For the price we paid, it honestly felt like a luxury safari. This is one of the best travel investments we’ve ever made, offering incredible value for money.
