It was a fantastic tour in every way
5/5

I had an excellent experience on my first African safari with Wilderness Safaris. The tour guides were a little difficult to understand and missed a lot of what they were saying. I had V.I.P. treatment throughout the whole safari . I it was just two of us the whole time . I couldn’t have asked for better treatment. However on the last day of our trip we didn’t get to go on the last game drive in the morning and didn’t get the box lunch to go . I would recommend Pembury tours to everyone and Kerry did a great job of arranging everything to perfection. All the accommodations were beautiful and we had great service everywhere . We got to see so many animals including the big five. Communication between me and Kerry was very good and answered any questions I had.

An amazing trip to Southern Africa booked through Tammy at Pembury Tours
5/5

I wanted to do a family holiday in Africa which included a safari and some sightseeing. I chose Pembury Tours as they had excellent reviews and I was not disappointed. I had no idea where to go for the safari or budget or what else to see - the only thing I knew was when. Tammy took this and turned it into an amazing two week trip through South Africa and Namibia. We saw so many animals including the big five on safari and a highlight was the sunset drinks. And what to say about Namibia- it's a hidden gem and well worth a visit. Tammy was so patient with us and always came back promptly with any ideas, suggestions or answers. But that was not all. From the minute we landed in Johannesburg to when we left, we were very well taken care of. Everything ran like clockwork and we also had Tammy's number incase of emergencies. Tammy also took the time out to contact us mid trip to make sure everything was going fine. I would definitely recommend Tammy and Pembury Tours and I will contact her again whenever I go back

Kerry Ririe is outstanding in every way
5/5

This is our 6th trip to SA and all thanks to Kerry Ririe at Pembury Tours : to say Kerry is exceptional, is the understatement of the year.

We have raved so much about out trips that family chose to join us this time and they too returned home ecstatic. At work people are always eager to hear of our adventures.

Kerry quickly forms an idea of the style of holiday experience you may wish to consider and gives many options and helpful suggestions, with various budgetary options. Kerry's first hand knowledge of SA, having lived in so many places and her incredible people skills ,make organising a trip a fun filled experience, which you can not wait to commence.

From extra tyre insurance in Namibia (which we were so grateful for) to the amazing travel itinerary with directions and selecting the type of accommodation that best suits your needs. The meet and greet at the airport is a lovely touch after a long flight, with guidance to the seamless car hire and the handover of the beautifully presented itinerary, in a locally made printed cotton satchel.

In Kruger, we stayed in the most amazing camps and on this trip, we stayed at Arathusa Safari Lodge as Kerry knew we were keen to see
leopards and it is renowned for it's leopard sightings. We were not disappointed .

The internal flights were a breeze with excellent transfers to and from our various accommodations, something we would have struggled to arrange and all of our accommodation exceeded our expectations .

Our vacations with Kerry's assistance are always unique and as a result our trips become amazing adventures with life enhancing experiences. Sitting on the edge of the Victoria Falls at Devil's pool in Zambia, a morning helicopter trip over the Falls, off road Safari Trips in Sabi Sands, experiencing a 3 month old southern right whale calf exploring our small boat, photographing southern double collared sunbirds in Kirstenbosh and enjoying cocktails at the rooftop bar at the Silo in Cape Town.

Food in SA is amazing and everywhere Kerry suggested was spot on.

Having corresponded with Kerry for over 8 years we were so lucky to meet her in person on this trip and she's even more wonderful in real life - I didn't think that could be possible. Her enthusiasm and love of what she does is captivating and Kerry is now busy helping us with a trip to Botswana/ Kruger/ Zimbabwe for 2026. The suggested itinerary is already flowing.

There is a trip for every budget and Kerry will assist you with ease in finding what best meets your needs and desires.

We have met many people who have travelled to SA and had a lovely holidays but, if you want an amazing, personalised, true Southern Africa experience, then look no further and email Kerry.

Super knowledgable, friendly and efficient company
5/5

Just returned from our 2nd safari trip once again organised by Tammy at Pembury Tours. This was a complicated itinerary, visiting Zimbabwe, Zambia and Sabi Sands, which ran perfectly due to Tammy's excellent knowledge, planning and organisation. As soon as we arrived in Johannesburg, we felt we were safely in her hands. All the lodges she recommended were great and the transfers ran like clockwork. Amazing viewings everywhere, we couldn't have asked for more. Tammy is always available should a client need her, both before and during the trip and we would highly recommend her services.

Fantastic Holiday in South Africa with Kerry at Pembury Tours
5/5

We have just returned from a 4 week holiday in South Africa and Victoria Falls with superb assistance from Kerry Ririe at Pembury Tours.
Kerry gave so much time to all our queries and requests and always came back to us very promptly and was so patient with us. All the bookings and arrangements she made on our behalf were faultless and it is especially pleasing and reassuring that all the transfer drivers were always there in plenty of time and couldn't have been more pleasant and helpful. She provided so much invaluable information through an online portal as well as in hard copy on arrival.
We were really grateful for the advice she gave which made the planning so much easier and prevented us from making some illogical decisions and mistakes.
It was simply an unforgettable holiday and the memories we have together with the hundreds of photographs will allow us to remember it all.
Our very grateful thanks to Kerry and she is a travel consultant that we will certainly be in contact with whenever we return to Africa and have full confidence in recommending to anyone interested in travelling to these wonderful countries.

This was the trip of a lifetime!
5/5

From the moment we debarked the plane until the day we left the continent, we were treated like royalty. Every detail was perfectly planned and every encounter with people and with wildlife was spectacular. I don’t believe any other trip will come close. Thank you Melanie and Pembury Tours!

Third time using Pembury and working with Anya. Once again, everything that was promised - transfers, flights, accommodation and tours went as exactly as planned. Thanks again to Anya for her insights and ideas in putting the trip together over three countries and several different stops. Also appreciate the time, patience and effort put in from a starting date of two years ago right up to and including the time of the holiday. Fantastic service. Finally, great to meet Anya in person who made the time to come and share dinner with us. Above and beyond and that bit more!
