Anya was amazing and patient to work with. Her attention to every detail was perfect.
Pembury Tours was recommended to us by a friend and we are so glad she did! Anya was so patient with my changes and worked with me for two years to help set up my dream trip to Africa. She helped us chose two different camps, one in Botswana and one in Kruger. Both camps and lodges were fantastic. Our lodgings, guides, food and animal sightings were more than we expected and made my dream trip come true!! Thank you so much to Anya for all her help. We would highly recommend her and Pembury tours to anyone and if we ever return to Africa we will certainly contact Anya! Thank you so much

Friendly, professional, efficient and a pleasure to work with.
We have 5* service from Heidi, who created a truly memorable holiday for us.
Heidi was always quick to respond to any enquiries we had and was fantastic in helping us as we had to postpone a couple of times from 2020 because of Covid. She listened to our requests and adapted the itinerary to create a wide-ranging itinerary that suited us.
We had an extremely smooth trip, being met as per the schedule at every location and we were able to relax and enjoy each moment.
The accommodation was really good and the whole trip good value for money.
We have already recommended Pembury and Heidi to friends and family.
Thank you, Heidi!

Wonderful Southern Africa trip! Thanks Gail Davis
Gail worked with us to create the perfect itinerary for our budget and needs. She was very nice, patient, responsive and answered every question I had about the trip and assured us that we would be in good hands. We spent three days in Cape Town. We went up to the iconic Table Mountain and visited other local attractions. All local tour guides were knowledgeable and friendly.
Then we spent three days at a luxury lodge in Manyeleti Private Game Reserve We went on two game drives on each day and it was here where we saw all the Big Five. Then we were transported by air to Victoria Falls on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It was a mesmerizing sight to behold. We also enjoyed a sunset dinner cruise here.
It was the most outstanding experience we could have ever asked for. The transfers were all on time, the hotels were top notch, and the operators were very friendly. Everything was perfect and well-planned. I would recommend Gail Davis - Pembury Tours to everyone planning a holiday in Africa.

Fantastic South Africa Trip Surpassed all Expectations!
Our agent Anya was such a pleasure to work with from day one. She started by helping to educate me about South Africa, areas of interest, game lodges and all the many choices that were available to us and staying within our price range. Our entire trip covered 3 weeks with stays in 3 lodges (Madikwe, Lalibela, and Oceana Reserve) and 3 city stays (Johannesburg, Cape Town and Hermanus). Anya was very easy to connect with via email and phone pre trip and WhatsApp once in S. Africa. Every single arrangement and transition went just as she promised. Meet n greet at airports, transfers between lodges and hotel, and all tours. When we do return to Africa I will be working with Pembury and Anya. I cannot recommend her highly enough for any Africa trip.

VACATION OF A LIFETIME
We have just returned having spent a month in South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe. We first connected with Kerry Ririe at Pembury Tours in 2019 - however Covid happened and all was delayed till July 2024. Fortunately Kerry was still available and instrumental in updating our Dream
Trip. Kerry organized all our Safaris, all accommodation's, flights, transfers, car rentals and even the entertainment. All keeping within our budget! And to our complete surprise she even credited us with monies lost from cancelling our trip in 2020. She was amazing. 5 star plus service - always available, by phone, WhatsAPP, or email. She was extremely attentive to all details, our wishes and questions. Concerns were
always easily resolved and her many suggestions were invaluable. Kerry customized an amazing itinerary for us which worked seamlessly. In hindsight I would NOT change anything. Kerry at Pembury Tours was exceptional. Most importantly she was truly interested that we have our VACATION OF A LIFETIME. We definitely did. Thank you Kerry from Michael, Franca and Julien! (We hope to use her services again)

Best trip ever@
We knew nothing about Africa except it had animals. Our trip was totally planned for us by Tammy. We trusted her completely. It was a fantastic trip. It was like she knew us personally. Our accommodations were 4-5 star. The activities planned were led by expert guides who were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We felt like we were with family. Africa is a beautiful place. The people are so welcoming. If we could give a 10 star rating we would. You will have the time of your life. Thank you Tammy and your team! God bless your continued success!

A trip of a lifetime planned through Pembury Tours
Kerry planned our honeymoon trip to South Africa last June and it really was a trip of a lifetime! We got in touch with her on recommendation from a friend and it was the best thing that we could have done. She took on board all of our preferences and made the whole thing stress-free which was amazing. Although we packed a lot into our 2 weeks, our itinerary was well paced and we were never exhausted. All our transfers were arranged by Kerry which worked out seamlessly. The tours that she recommended and tour guides were really brilliant. Usually tours can be hit and miss but we couldn't fault a single one. We experienced amazing food, culture and stayed in wonderful accommodation which really suited our needs. She had let our accommodation know that we were honeymooners so there was complimentary prosecco at all stops! :) We have recommended Kerry to several people already looking to plan trips to South Africa and hope to explore more of Africa in the future through Kerry.

Great ideas and constantly helpful
This was the second trip Kerry has organised for us and we were delighted again. She made great recommendations where we needed them, and happily supported aspects of the trip where we were making our own plans within a larger group. Overall our arrangements were somewhat complex and changeable, and Kerry was unfailingly helpful, and patient, in helping us manage everything. Her involvement made us feel supported and comfortable throughout and we are very grateful.
