South Africa .... experience of a lifetime.
I loved my 14 days in South Africa. All transfers were smooth and well planned. The lodging was excellent and Kerry made sure that I was totally taken care of. I stayed at lovely lodging that was not only aesthetically inviting, but the people were stellar. The safari was better than my imagination. I stayed at Notten's Bush Camp and would go there again and again. Besides the camp being beautiful, the people and food were outstanding. I saw all of the "Big 5" more than once and the drives were great. With some very minor changes, I would do this trip again and recommend it to everyone! Thank you Kerry for such a lovely experience.

Simply perfect
Gail did a great job. She answered to all of my requests in a timely and courteous way. Her recommendations for activities and accommodations were great. And she was always so nice!! Me and my daughter spent two weeks between South Africa and Victoria Falls and every single arrangement was perfect: Hotels and lodges, drivers and tours. I can't say a single negative thing about this experience. Highly recommended!!!

Amazing Experience and Itinerary thanks to Pembury Tours (Laurette McKinnon)
Its our first time to visit South Africa from Manila. We initially thought it will be a difficult task to arrange.
But thanks to Pembury Tours, particularly Laurette McKinnon, we had a hassle-free coordination, customization, and arrangement of our tours.
Laurette was very efficient. We corresponded via email, but she arranged everything perfectly. Laurette replied back to all our queries quickly; and even offered to more detail and coordination. She exceeded our expectations, to be honest.
All we had to do was give her our dates and places we wanted to visit. She customized everything perfectly for us.
The accommodations she selected were great; and so were the tours. She arranged our transfers as well.
In our tour, she included safari tours in Pilansberg, Sun City, Cape Town, and Johannesburg.
Pembury Tours did really great. I would have given them (Laurette) 10 stars, if possible. We had an amazing time in South Africa because of them. Will definitely reccommend them.

The most amazing trip we have ever been on!
First off, thanks to our travel agent Kerry for creating the most adventure filled vacations of our lives. Pembury tours and Kerry did a amazing job setting this trip up for us. Every day was better then the last. The way Kerry catered to every request was completely unbelievable. We have traveled to 28 different countries in the last 8 years and not one of those trips can compare to my families experience on this 14 day trip. If you have one trip to make in your lifetime with your family South Africa is it! Just make sure you call Pembury tours and Kerry first.
There are no words to explain our experience. You have to live it to understand.
Thank you Pembury Tours and Kerry for putting together memories that will last a lifetime!
The Garcia family.

Perfect Execution of Our Dream Vacation!
We found Pembury Tours based on Internet recommendations and we are so glad we did! It is nerve-racking to plan a trip half-way around the world with people & suppliers that don't carry brand name recognition, but Tammy Harding, our Pembury Travel Consultant, walked every step with us during trip planning and throughout our vacation. From the start, her can-do attitude, quick responses, and thorough explanations made us feel at ease and quite pleased with our decision. Tammy provided thoughtful suggestions for our requested itinerary changes, booked us in wonderful accommodations, and set up great tours, especially the safari at the Sabi Sands resort Inyati. The entire vacation went off without a hitch, except for when South African Airlines experienced a delayed flight, which caused us to have to re-book a segment on British Airways, who ended up losing our luggage for 30 hours. Even then, though having nothing to do with this mishap, I reached out to Tammy who made phone calls on our behalf, and stayed on top of the situation until our luggage was delivered. Not only will Tammy be our go-to girl for future African travel, but I will highly recommend her and Pembury Tours to anyone interested in an African vacation. Well done!!

Amazing tour and flexibility!
We (I) left our honeymoon planning until the last minute as we were super busy finalizing grades and comments for our students. Laurette at Pembury took our wish list and made it happen! We had initially whittled an 11 day set tour down to 9 that packed in our ideal elements Southern Africa: Victoria Falls in Zambia, Chobe National Park in Botswana, Sabi Sands Safari Park in South Africa along with all of the wonderful things to do around Cape Town, South Africa (Wine Tour, Table Mountain, Robben Island, Great White Shark Cage Diving, etc). We were all set to book but the flight times from South Africa to Zambia were not cooperating with our arrival times. So, poor Laurette reworked most of our itinerary to include all of the sites we wanted to see AND managed to sneak in a half day tour of Johannesburg, which included the Apartheid museum, soweto and Nelson Mandela's home! All of our accommodations were amazing, the safaris allowed us to see the Big 5, we saw 13 great white sharks up close and personal and tasted amazing wine for a relaxing final day of our honeymoon. Simply wonderful planning and execution from start to finish. Thank you Pembury for a wonderful trip!

Capital time in South Africa
We had a fantastic 11 day trip to South Africa and Zimbabwe with Pembury. Anya was incredibly responsive and built a custom itinerary to suit all our needs and allowed us to see the best of South Africa, including a few days on the Cape and an amazing 4 day safari. Anya was very responsive to all our questions - she provided a very personal feel to the booking process, she was even proactive about providing updates between our booking and our departure date. The safari itself was fantastic, we saw the big 5 in the first 2 days, plus many more. Overall a fantastic trip - We'd highly recommend Pembury for your trip in southern Africa.

Amazing and helpful service
The tour company was absolutely amazing and helpful through each question and each journey of the trip. It really helps that they know what accommodations to select and the different outings and options. Everything was pretty flawless.from airport and site pickups to accommodations, etc. I would recommend them to anyone who is traveling. Anya and Kerry were a huge help!
