Excellent Private Tour
Gail at Pembury set up a private tour for our family of four-- Cape Town, Safari at Sabi Sands and Vic Falls. Every person who came to transport us was on time, polite and informative. Gail listened to our ideas for the trip and offered her informed opinion, resulting in an excellent and efficient tour and memories for life. We found Pembury on the web and felt we were taking a chance hiring an unknown company but it totally worked out and I heartedly recommend the company.

Pembury Tours service was better than 5 star!!
Pembury Tours and their representative, Laurette McKinnon, created an unforgettable Southern Africa vacation for us! From the moment we were contacted by Laurette McKinnon the service was nothing short of excellent. She was friendly, professional and very helpful. She made great recommendations for our vacation and promptly answered our many questions both before and during our trip. The safari part of our trip was at Arathusa Safari Lodge in Sabi Sand Reserve. Arathusa was a wonderful place for our safari. The staff, service, accommodation, food and game drives were way beyond our expectations! We saw the Big Five many times along with other animals, including wild dogs and countless bird species. Thank you Laurette for recommending Arathusa. The other parts of our trip, Cape Town and Victoria Falls, were also just as enjoyable. The information, recommendations and choices supplied to us by Pembury Tours was very clearly presented and made it easy for us to decide exactly what we wanted. The entire itinerary went like clockwork. All our transfers, guides were on time and friendly. The vehicles were all very good. The accommodations were all as described they would be, all were wonderful. We had a vacation we will never forget thanks to Pembury Tours and in particular Laurette McKinnon. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone planning a trip (safari) to Southern Africa.

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.

Trip of a Lifetime
As a global traveler for business I was looking for what I call a "hands-off" three week trip to South Africa where I did not need to think about anything. Susan at Pembury Tours did an excellent job of putting together the trip of a lifetime. We toured Cape Town, down through Cape Point and then a few days in the wine country then back up to Livingston area to take in Victoria Falls where we enjoyed three fantastic nights at Tongabezi Luxury River Lodge enjoying the Tree House Bungalow. Then off to 3 additional safari camps each one wonderful and unique in its own way. Over our three week stay we took 10 in country South African Airways flights and 4 small plane flights. Everything worked perfectly with a person waiting to great my wife and I each time we stepped off a plane to personally guide us to the next flight or to our lodging. Have taken many personal trips in my 60 years of life but this one had much more logistics than any previous and it was perfect. I would highly recomend the expertise of Pembury Tours. THey did an excellent job for us!

Pembury creates an exquisite South African experience
Susan Pattison-Wait at Pembury booked our 3 week tour of South Africa from Cape Town, through the wine country, to Johannesburg, and at Sabi Sand and Timbavati for Safari! She made all arrangements including the internal flights within South Africa. Her communications with us were exceptional, she accommodate all of our requests and hired local guides to show us Cape Town (and Cape of Good Hope and take us up to the Wine Country for a couple of nights. The best however, was the time on safari. It was exquisite, better than anything we had imagined!

Two-thumbs up!
It took me a while to find the right tour operator to assist in making my African safari dream come true. I am glad that I found Pembury Tours. They are prompt in responding to my first query and from then on everything was a breeze thanks to Tammy. Tammy put together an itinerary that met my budget and expectations. I had many questions of course, which Tammy answered patiently and promptly. Her patience and ability to come up with solutions to my queries were very much appreciated. When we were in Africa, Tammy was always there to respond to our queries - even on weekends! Her dedication and commitment in making sure that my friend and I had a pleasant trip is commendable. We had a magical and amazing time at the safari (Umlani Bush Camp) and Avani at Victoria Falls. An experience that will always have a special place in our heart.
Thank you Tammy and Pembury Tours for making our African dreams come true. When Africa ever calls again, I will be sure to be in touch with them to assist in planning my trip.

Laurette McKinnon was responsive, thorough and very pleasant to work with for all aspects.
Our agent, Laurette McKinnon, did a marvelous job for our group's 12 day tour. She worked very closely with our group's organizer, Kim O'Grady, to make sure everything worked smoothly and up to top standards. The safari tour at Mala Mala Reserve was amazing on so many different levels!!! The gracious hospitality of our guides and staff, the tenacious and effective tracking, their knowledge and experience and the wonderful accomodations made for an incredible stay.

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.
