Could not have asked for more
We feel very lucky to have found Penbury Tours for our South African holiday. From the moment we contacted them for a quote, for one of thier standard iteneraries, Heidi was able to provide us with a fantastic bespoke service. She was able to accommodate all our requests to fine tune the timetable, she made great recommendations for places to visit, and spent time with us exploring different options for our trip. She was always happy to facilitate our "just one more thing" emails, and always responded quickly.
The trip it's self, was fantastic and every hotel we stayed at was exceptional and totally exceeded our expectations. Our only concern was when returning our hire, the company would not agreed there was no damage, untill it was taken away and looked at after cleaning, which made us uneasy. Albeit they did not find any. They also charged us incorrectly for an "included" drop off fee. I let Hiedi know and she was able to organise a refund immediately. I'm very glad Penbury had made the booking as I'm not sure we would have been able to agree a refund on our own.
Altogether a great experience, before, during and after, and we very much look forward to our next African adventure with Penbury. We could not recommend them highly enough.

She arranged a tour for me at a low price. We have been in contact for several months and she always responded promptly and courteously. I am very satisfied with the tour and glad that I chose her company. I have recommended this company to my family and friends.

Super friendly and excellent service
We had an amazing experience with CKC as our guide for climbing Mount Kenya. From start to finish, their professionalism, expertise, and care were exceptional. The communication with John before the trip was great - he answered my questions on WhatsApp and was in touch frequently.
The guides were really knowledgeable about the flora and fauna on the route, which made for a really interesting trek. They took great care to ensure our safety at every step, making the trek both enjoyable and challenging in the best way possible. Their passion for the mountain and deep understanding of local wildlife and culture enriched our experience tremendously. The team also provided excellent support, in particular the delicious meals, ensuring we were well-prepared for the summit.
We couldn't recommend CKC more highly for anyone looking to embark on a trek to Mount Kenya!

I am glad Inhave chosen this company!
💯 reccomend! Our 4 day midrange tour was amazing! Tour guide Lewis did his best and we saw all The big 5 game Africas animals! Our chef Lucas was not only making the food but also helping in seeing wild animals! He has a good eye :) Accommodations where we spend our nights were super good: big, comfortable beds, cozy dinners and time next the fire.
Daniel arranged everything from the start to the last minute when driving back to airpor. What else you could wish for?!?
PS - all the lunch we had at picnic areas during the safari were hot, restaurant made dishes (chicken, beef, vegetable curry).

Very well organized. Great variety of animals. Having the elefants family 5m from our tent @ midnight, was an experience we will never forget. The team was very well trained and made us feel “at home”. The driver/guide was always looking for animals, no matter how long it quold take.

Best safari experience ever!
Hard to describe the incredible time we had there. We started by being welcomed at Emanuel & Rebecca’s, who instantly made us feel like at home and shared their beautiful culture. Then we went on a 5-days safari and we didn’t have to worry about a thing, which made the whole experience unforgettable. Our guides were so knowledgeable, patient, big hearted people. I will never forget this first safari experience in Tanzania and will recommend it to anyone coming to Arusha. Thank you again rafiki & big hugs familia!
