Great Experience
Wild Destinations handled a safari we recently took. Everything went perfectly. Travelling such a distance with a large group of people can end up disastrous and we had mishaps along the way that were outside the control of Wild Destinations - but they even helped with things that were not within their control (flight issues from the US to London and lost luggage etc.),
Once we landed in Nairobi everything was perfect. We had transport from the airport, smooth check in at hotel, transfer to the Mara, and the camp selected was perfect. This was all so much beyond my expectations! (Also the Fairmont Mara Safari Camp is spectacular.)

An extraordinary trip with Extraordinary Journeys!
Extraordinary Journeys made our highly anticipated trip to Zambia and Tanzania absolutely brilliant! Kim Green, Laura Cicalese and their team listened to our requests and put together a journey that exceeded my expectations. We visited Tanzania, Victoria Falls and Zambia, and saw amazing wildlife and had incredible adventures and experiences. They took the time to find out what we liked to do and what we hoped to see, then tailored the trip to the information that we provided. It was very helpful to have several telephone conversations with Kim and Laura, and they were always available to answer our MANY questions. I hope to have the chance to travel with Extraordinary Journeys again!

Amazing experience!
I went with my family to Tanzania with Bright African Safaris last summer.
We had an Amazing trip and everything (Hoffman-the driver, the locations and the accomodations) were excellent.
We saw a lot of animals (like lions, cheetas, leopars, elephants etc..). We also saw some baby lions!
We enjoied a lot our holidays and we hope to come back soon with this agency and with our favourite driver Hoffman! He was very nice and very patient with us.

Fantastic Safari Guides
We had a very splendid safari experience with Clevers and company. Clevers was a very friendly guide along with his lovely partner Agnes. Jeff was awesome behind the wheel. I never imagined a van coursing through very rough roads like it was nothing. All of them spoke very good english and will amaze you with their stories and fun facts. We've opted for a budget safari so the tented camps were quite decent. If you wanna go for a nicer accommodation, then you can ask Clevers and he would definitely hook you up according to your budget. All in all, you can't go wrong with Namnyak Safaris. We felt like we were being toured around Kenya by friends. And you will definitely become friends by the end of the tour. Will definitely book them again for my next safari.

Anya
I cannot say more about the professionalism, the responsiveness, and the vacation planning abilities of Anya! Our family of 8 reached out to her to plan our trip to Cape Town and with VERY little direction from us beyond our desire to see as much as possible in 8 days, Anya anticipated our needs and executed a perfect itinerary that made everyone from the youngest (5) to the oldest (40 something!)
I would recommend Pembury to anyone looking for a full-service travel planning agency that provides for all the big (and little) things one may need on vacation. We literally worried about nothing and just enjoyed the ride!

Trip of a lifetime for our entire family!
I am so very grateful that we were put in touch with Anya to help plan and execute our trip to South Africa. Every step of the holiday from the early discussions on what we wanted to do/see to transfers from airports was handled to the finest detail. Our lodgings were perfectly situated and suited for our needs and family. We really could not have asked for anything more. Anya was attentive, thoughtful, cognizant of some of the difficulties when traveling with young children, and extremely professional. My family is already planning another trip to South Africa and encouraging our friends to visit. I know that I will recommend Pembury Tours without hesitation and, of course, the expert guidance of Anya. Thank you for making our dream trip a reality!

Excellent safari experience in Africa!
We have enjoyed 10 excellent days of safari, with 4 friends coming from Argentina!
We stayed for 6 days in Kenya and 5 days in Tanzania, touring all the most famous parks of the place and we were able to see all species of animals, including the BIG FIVE!
We toured the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro !!
The quality of the reserved hotels were the best! The attention of the guide and Spanish speaking staff were also very friendly and allowed us to tour all the parks and see all the animals!
Excellent experience!
We recommend it !!
Greetings and thanks!

Excellent organisation of gorilla permits at late notice
Did a great job of organising gorilla permits for us at short notice.
They were fast and efficient, and dropped permits to our car hire company.
Very happy with the service received.
Reccomendations for improvements:
1. The different company names used are confusing
2. Found it difficult to figure out which payment option to choose from the options available on the online payment system. Some more instructions on this website for the different payment options would be good and it should definitely advise about any payment surcharges which can be significant as a percentage of the total (in our case $61 for two permits).
