Caring!
Joseph did a very good job, from the beginning until and I was back home. He was very much concerned about everything and making sure things were as planned. Masai Mara was simply BEAUTIFUL, no words to express how magic it is!! Our driver was also nice - a bit quiet though. It would be nice if he could also explain a bit more about the animals, and the role of ranger, which I really admire! It was a beautiful experience, and felt very honored to meet the Masai, and visit their houses.

A fantastic and unforgettable experience!!
It was our first time in South Africa. From the first contact with Pembury Tours, where our agent was Heidi, everything was very clear and efficient. All meetings with guides and tranfers took place punctually on time and they were all very friendly and taught us a lot about the history and culture of South Africa. The quality of the vehicles were excellent and the guides drove us in a very safe way. We stayed in four different accommodations and all were of an incredible care with cleanliness and friendliness. During safaris, we had a chance to see up close all the animals we would have liked to see (the big 5) and more. In summary, a perfect experience. Thanks to everyone involved in this incredible experience.

EXCELLENT SERVICE
We had an excellent experience on our gorilla trekking tour with our guides Anthony and Chris. They both went out of their way to accommodate all our needs. This made our gorilla viewing extra special. Thank you very much to the team. I will highly recommend Friendly Gorillas even if you are travelling from Rwanda which we were.

amazing experience for a budget shared safari, good value for money
we booked a shared safari 4 days and 3 nights, we shared with other 4 travellers so we were total of 6 + our driver and chef. the itinerary is fixed but well planned, we did tarangire then serengueti then ngorongoro, we camp and that was an amazing experience. the driver was good and nice and the chef cooked simple tasty food. the car broke down once but the driver managed to get it fixed so we could continue, for a low budget I would say the experience was really good as anyway you get to see the same things! worth to try

Beautiful and special experience that everyone has to try once.
The wildlife at Kruger Nationalpark was breathtaking. For one like me who had never done safari before and never been to the african continent before everything was exceeding my expectations. Very green land and a lot of wildlife. Beautiful birds, great vibe and the rangers were well educated, teaching you about animals you saw and their habits. Accomodation was an experience itself, sleeping in a treehouse in the middle of a privately oned piece of the nationalpark and going to sleep with the sound of hyenas somewhere far...
Definitely would recommend doing a safari tour.

A life changing experience
This adventure went beyond any of my expectations. Definitiely a lifetime highlight for me and my family, filled with memories that we will cherish for years to come. Everything was taken care of, handled with excellence, and treated with a “touch of class.” I am also glad that we took the coaching on selecting the land cruiser vs the mini-van, thanks Simon. Accommodations, food, and service were wonderful. Can’t wait for the next one.

Absolutely Fantastic Trip
The delivered on everything that they promised, granted, I did the book online and only communicated via email. The guides are very friendly and very knowledgeable. The tour vans were nice, new, clean and equipped with WiFi. Megan is extremely responsive and attentive. She catered to my needs in great detail. I would not hesitate recommending them to anyone planning a trip to Cape Town and Johannesburg.

Driver, excellent, staff and accommodation, excellent, gorilla experience, excellent.
Everything obout the safari tour ran smoothly without any issues. From the time we got off our plane we basically didn't have to ask questions about anything. We were advised of everything that was going to happen for the next 4 days. Our driver spoke excellent English and provided a lot of information about the area we were in and travelling to. He was able to answer any questions we had. Our accommodation was excellent, the food was more than enough and the staff were fabulous. I would recommend an African massage whilst in your lodge.
Our trek to the gorillas started off with a welcoming dance and an information session. The trek itself was very doable but made you work for the reward of seeing the gorillas, (no complaints). Our trackers were excellent and very experienced. They provided many opportunities for us to get close to the entire family of gorillas. We have lots of photos and videos to remind us of this holiday.
I would and have highly recommended doing this trek with family and friends.
