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!

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.

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.

Fabulous trip
5/5

Tammy helped arrange our fabulous trip to South Africa this fall! She provided invaluable assistance both in suggestions and logistics. We are from the US and could not have done this 3+ week trip without her help with all the details. I would highly recommend Pembury to anyone wanting to experience a trip of a lifetime and plan to use them again when we travel back to Africa in the future.

perfect service
5/5

This spring we( a German family) were planning a vacation in South Africa, Since we were not really impressed about the possibilities to book with a German travel agency , I browsed the internet and found Pembury Tours. I planned then a Tour wich included 4 days in a game Lodge and a couple of days in Johannesburg with Anja. What a smart decision. Every e-mail I sent was answered immediately by Anja. All the hotels we booked were great.The Transfers we booked were absolutely perfekt. We always had very nice and knowledgable drivers.
The highlight was the Impodimo Lodge in Madikwe.
But most important of all was, that I could plan the trip with Anja, I really felt in good hands because she always answered all my questions promptly and found the right solutions for my ideas for the trip.So we started very confident from Germany that everything would be ok. The trip then was absolutely amazing .
I definitely will recommend Anja and Pembury tours to all of our friends.

Fantastic!
5/5

We were encouraged to use Pembury Tours for our big trip to S Africa, by the game reserve we wanted to visit, and I'm so please we did. Laurette was extraordinarily helpful and efficient, and therefore took the strain out of making reservations, booking tours etc. We had the most wonderful trip despite some traveller problems, which Laurette helped with enormously, and it seems it was all 'part of the service'. We discussed and agreed every part of our holiday in detail so when we arrived it was plain sailing and we could just relax - everything organised by Pembury.
I can highly recommend them, and will certainly use them again for their experience and knowledge of the area.
Thank you Laurette!
