Perfection in planning and execution
I shall gladly do this trip again ~ regardless of the cost ...provided Anya is my agent. I saw, heard, smelled, tasted and felt everything I wanted .
I desired a small group or personal experience and was given exactly that! I am a Professional Wildlife Photographer residing in the Pintler Wilderness of Montana and I am not a 'herd animal'.
Anya had everything perfected!
God bless her for her diligence

An excellent service provided by Pembury Tours resulting in a fantastic trip of a lifetime.
Even though we are UK based and Pembury Tours are based in South Africa, the liaison and interaction between Pembury Tours and ourselves was brilliant from start to finish. We were able to provide an outline scope and budget for the holiday from which Anya (our superb Pembury agent) was able to suggest and create the exact holiday we wanted. Keeping us informed at each stage of the process, we were able to work with Pembury to tailor the itinerary to suit our specific needs. Having just returned from the holiday it more than met our every expectation and could not have run more smoothly throughout. Thank you Anya and Pembury Tours, we couldn’t have asked for more. We would highly recommend their services and hope to travel with them again.

Heidi Bedford was always available to help to put our trip together and to answer any questions.
Pembury was referred to us by a previous client. Their tour package information made it easy for us to know where we were going and to personalize our trip for us for what we wanted to see and do. The guides and drivers were very helpful and took us to things off the plan when needed. Definitely would refer anyone to them.

Kerry Ririe organised my itinerary to perfection, and updated it a few times because of COVID.
My brother and sister-in-law recommended Kerry at Pembury Tours to me because they were so pleased with their holiday, and I am very glad they did!!
Kerry organised my tour in 2019, including everything in my itinerary that I had said I wanted to see. On the morning of the day I was meant to leave, the impact of COVID hit and my cruise to Cape Town from Australia was cancelled, through no fault of Kerry's.
My itinerary had to be reorganised a few times, as successive postponements were necessary due to the duration of COVID. Kerry reorganised these with professionalism, and I was finally able to travel 2½ years later. My holiday went smoothly, including a change of one meeting point at very short notice due to track work, arranged by Kerry while I was on the superb ROVOS train. Each transfer and guide was on time or early, and I never had a moment's anxiety. My driver and guide in Johannesburg made it easy to see that fascinating city and surrounds, including the sites commemorating the life of Nelson Mandela, and the 3 hours return drive to the Black Rhino Game Reserve in Pilanesburg. Black Rhino had been recommended by an ex-pat South African friend in my home town in Australia, and I wasn't disappointed. I also stayed at the fabulous olde-worlde Victoria Falls Hotel, and on the Chobe Princess on the border of Namibia and Botswana which my brother and sister-in-law had enjoyed.
The standard of hotels was excellent and they were conveniently located, particularly in Cape Town where I could safely walk to the V & A Waterfront in 5 minutes, and had a view of Table Mountain from my room.
I recommend Kerry and Pembury Tours with total confidence that your holiday will exceed your expectations!

Perfection
This trip to Africa was a childhood dream and 50 years later I finally made it. I could never have planned this trip without Tammy Harding. She not only had to put this trip together once but twice. Originally scheduled for 2020 which had to be postponed & again in 2022. She was amazing. Followed me through my whole trip. Checked us in with our flights when I had no access and was there every step of the trip when we needed her. She made sure we were taken care of in any way we needed. I felt safe knowing she was there to help if we needed it. Her response was always immediate and I will be forever grateful to her for making this experience the trip of my lifetime. Tammy Harding & Pembury Tours made my childhood dream a reality. It was an experience my daughter & I will remember forever.
Thank you Tammy for your excellent customer service, for the personal care you provided & for putting together an amazing trip for my daughter & I.
You went above and beyond to make this trip so very special for me. There are no words to describe how wonderful you are.
Thank you

Incredibly helpful and attentive
We went on a one week trip to Botswana and Victoria Falls in June. Our trip was organised by Kerry who was the most incredible, attentive and helpful tour operator. We could contact her at any time and she was always quick to reply. She organised a fantastic trip and even checked in during our stay and made local recommendations for dinner and activities. I would (and have) recommend her to anyone who is travelling to Southern Africa. She made our trip seamless and thoroughly enjoyable!

Promises delivered
From UK. Writing just over half way through thirteen night Zambia trip organised by Anya at Pembury Tours. So fellow travellers, why writing now? Easy, every aspect of trip has thus far been spot on. From greetings to transfers and from accommodation to flights, everything, as suggested and organised by Anya has been perfect. Second time Anya has guided our southern Africa trip and second time everything been perfect. Would unreservedly recommend and absolutely if in a position to travel again will use Pembury. Anya, once more, thank you.

Lifetime Memories in African Safari and Rwandan Gorilla Trekking
I had an amazing trip with memories to last a lifetime. I have recommended Pembury Tours to many people I met along my time spent in Africa. I always felt very safe and taken care of and my itinerary was superb! I appreciate their assistance and timely replies every message I sent. I will use them again in the future!

Three time winner!
For the third time I put together (persuaded) five friends to join me on another Kruger Park safari in September/October 2022. I have always asked Melanie to make recommendations and to plan my trips. I find her to be one of the most conscientious and detail-oriented planners I have met. We spent time at three lodges, from a well-established safari lodge in Sabi Sands, to a Manyeleti lodge and finally to a quite new tented lodge in the Timbavati. I should add that the last reservation was originally at a different lodge until (fairly late in the process) that lodge decided they were closing for renovations. Melanie handle it all with quiet competence keeping us informed as she dotted every i and crossed every T. We were informed at every juncture and we knew exactly how our journey would play out. Whether you are an old "Africa" hand or a complete "newbie" you cannot go wrong with Pembury. We had a wonderful time with all the small details that got added including a special private dinner celebration for one couple's wedding anniversary. Our photographs show wonderful sightings, what they don't show are the huge smiles behind the cameras. Value for money? Absolutely! Reliability? Unquestionably! Communications? Unmatched! The tour itself? A dream come true!
