Laurette was extremely helpful in listening to what we wanted and customizing our experience
5/5

Service by Laurette was great! She was very helpful in relaying information, recommending a number of different options, and streamlining the entire process. I would definitely recommend booking with Laurette and Pembury!

Perspective from a teenager
5/5

My family and my best friend had an amazing time over our winter school break. We are both 16 and we didn't know what to expect on the different excursions and travel destinations. Pembury tours set up our vacation to perfection, and we will recommend them to other California friends.

Wonderful Safari in Madikwe
5/5

From the moment that Anya (Visser) picked up our enquiry for a safari trip, everything was really well organised, and very smooth. She followed up on all my queries and provided fantastic service. Anya, thank you so much :)

We wanted to fly to the Lodge and have a drive back to Johannesburg, when we arrived at the Airport after leaving Cape Town a presentative was waiting for us, nice, friendly guy, he drove us to our Hotel and helped us with our luggage, stayed with us until we had checked in. The Hotel in Johannesburg was very nice, again very friendly staff. Next morning we were picked up for a transfer flight to the Lodge, again the driver was great, really knowledgeable about the history of SA. Flight was easy, on arrival at Madikwe we were met by our Rangers who transferred to our accommodation. It was stunning, Etalie Safari Lodge. big room, well appointed over looking the bush, small spa pool on the balcony, you could just sit and wait for animals to walk past etc. We saw the Big 5 and much much more. Got so many photos (check out facebook!!). We were so upset to have to leave such a stunning place.
Would 100% recommend using Pembury Tours (hopefully you'll get Anya to organise your trip)

Absolutely fantastic service
5/5

The service we had from Pembury was outstanding. Gail responded almost immediately to my initial inquiry even though it was on a public holiday. The suggested itinerary was just perfect. Having been born and bred in SA I had very clear ideas of where would probably be best to go in August and Gail came up with almost exactly the trip I had in mind except far, far better. Sadly, due to unforeseen circumstances, we have had to postpone the holiday but I felt that Gail had put so much thought and effort into planning our holiday and done such an excellent job that I wanted the world to know. We will be back in touch, Gail, when circumstances change!

Trip of a Lifetime
5/5

My husband and I just returned from the most amazing trip to South Africa. We worked with Tammy over the course of four months to plan the trip and everything went so smoothly. Tammy was the best person to work with - she gave great advice, always responded very promptly (and I asked a TON of questions), was always cheerful and was someone I trusted completely.

Because we booked a bit last minute and it was the high season, Tammy had to work extra hard to get us in places (hotels, tours, etc.), and we were so lucky to have stayed at the places we did, due to her hard work. Normally we like to plan trips ourselves, but I know we would have missed out on so much had we not worked with Tammy.

We already miss Cape Town, the Winelands and our amazing Kruger safari! We don't normally repeat destinations, but South Africa is already back on our list!

My two pieces of advice for your trip are: 1) Go for as many days as you can - there is so much do see and do; 2) Work with Pembury to make the most of those days!

Another wonderful safari trip
5/5

This was our second safari trip and another wonderful experience with Laurette at Pembury Tours. This time we travelled with the whole family, and Laurette planned out all of the details to fit into our schedule, goals, and budget. Everything went very smoothly and we were able to see everything we had hoped on safari and enjoy a relaxing time in Cape Town.

Amazing
5/5

When we were looking into options to arrange our trip to South Africa we found Pembury Tours. After discussing with Heidi our dates and requirements, she prepared the most amazing tailor made tour.
In spite that our travel arrangements were requested in a rather short notice, she found the best options for our especial itinerary. Every Hotel, Lodge, transfer and tour guide made our first visit to South Africa a memorable experience.
Thank you Heidi for your dedication and the welcome package containing the most useful information.
This was one of the best trips in our life and we are already planing dates for next year.....of course with the assistance of Pembury Tours!

Pembury took the worry out of S. Africa trip with their knowledge, suggestions and professionaliosm
5/5

We picked Pembury to help plan our trip thru the internet with their great reviews. We were never disappointed and Anya Visser met and exceeded our high expectations. We try to go to daily Mass and Anya found the Catholic churches, Mass times and walking directions for us and changed our itinerary to attend Sunday Mass. All transportation and transfers were perfect. We missed our flight connection due to bad weather and called Anya late at night to let our transfer know about our situation, no problem. This entire trip was wonderful with great safaris and felt secure knowing Pembury and Anya were a phone call away if a problem occurred.
