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.

Wonderful experience start to finish
Pembury tours was amazing, from the day I sent my inquiry I was contacted within 24 hrs by Tammy and we started going over options. She gave us great advice and helped us find exactly what we wanted, there is no way that I could have planned this trip without her. I would recommend Pembury tours and specifically Tammy, to anyone thinking that they would like to plan a trip to Africa.

2nd Success in a Row with Kerry & Pembury
I first had the pleasure of working with Kerry in 2010 planning my honeymoon. The logistics were so smooth, and the staff we encountered at hotels and tour operators were so warm and welcoming that I contacted her again in February 2016 to plan a vacation for my family.
It was short notice, and required planning for a group of 6 people including a member with special needs for 9 days. All was planned efficiently, communication was always clear and fast, suggestions offered were on point.
The real curve-ball; we missed our flight to Cape Town and although I immediately emailed Kerry about it, I could not tell her when we'd be able to reschedule our flights. She cancelled our immediate bookings but managed to keep all bookings and schedules somehow on standby.
When I confirmed our re-booked flights to her (which was 4 days after original date), she rescheduled everything in a way where we still made the most of all of ours days and without missing any of our original plans. Hotels/lodges usually only have 1-2 special needs rooms so re-working those dates was particularly tricky.
The only additional fee we had to pay was for insisting on a specific date for one of our tours which was a personal preference. Had we been more flexible on that particular date, there wouldn't have been any additional charges at all.
I'd comfortably recommend Kerry to anyone planning a trip to SA, and would happily enlist her services again for myself and family.
