William our Guide and Driver gave us an exceptional Safari in Mid Tanzania
From October 20th to 26th, we traveled through Tanzania with the primary goal of enjoying game viewing in Ruaha National Park, Mikumi National Park, and Nyerere National Park. William was our guide, driver, and personal assistant throughout the trip, available to us 24/7.
First and foremost, William is an exceptional wildlife spotter with extensive knowledge of animal behavior. Thanks to him, we were able to see a wide variety of animals and birds. Additionally, he proved to be a skilled and safe driver who was not only attentive to road safety but also highly knowledgeable about the workings of the Toyota Land Cruiser, quickly detecting and resolving any mechanical issues.
Beyond his duties in the parks, William enriched our experience by showing us some wonderful local spots to eat and buy fresh fruit. At all times, we felt safe both inside and outside the vehicle. His professionalism, expertise, and care turned our safari into an unforgettable experience.

PROFESSIONAL
I have been working in Tanzania for 10 years, and sometimes it is a challenge to find local service providers in the tourism industry who are reliable when executing a specific itinerary organized for demanding travelers. Hassan and his team are that provider. In this company, I have only found reliability and enthusiasm for doing a job well.
In addition to punctuality in managing each service, their excellent attention to both the administrative process and the execution of their tours and excursions reflects a high sense of responsibility for their work and for the satisfaction of their clients. But it doesn't stop there: the attention to detail that this team puts into their work is what makes them stand out above other tourism companies in Zanzibar.
Every excursion, every transfer, and every guided tour on the island is carried out with professionalism. Nothing is left to chance; on the contrary, they know how to advise and improve every experience. If you want to explore the Island of Zanzibar in depth with the confidence that you’ve made the most of your time and money, HOLIDAY VACATIONS & SAFARIS has the key to ensure you return home eager to come back and enjoy this paradise again.

Outstanding Safari Experience
I had been dreaming of an African safari for years, so when the opportunity arose, I had to jump on it. I have to say our guides, Chris and Goodwill, gave me the experience of a lifetime! They were extremely knowledgeable about all of the animals we came across, spouting out random facts throughout the game drives. We saw an abundance of animals throughout the 8 day safari. I still can't believe how Chris managed to spot our first leopard. These guys really do have hawk eyes!
Mealtimes were wonderful, taking into account our meal preferences and providing us with very well prepared dishes. The wine in the evenings was much appreciated. And I think I can speak for everyone in my group that the comradery provided during our meals was wonderful!
I highly recommend Wild Planet Safari for your Kruger National Park adventures.

Kerry Ririe is outstanding in every way
This is our 6th trip to SA and all thanks to Kerry Ririe at Pembury Tours : to say Kerry is exceptional, is the understatement of the year.
We have raved so much about out trips that family chose to join us this time and they too returned home ecstatic. At work people are always eager to hear of our adventures.
Kerry quickly forms an idea of the style of holiday experience you may wish to consider and gives many options and helpful suggestions, with various budgetary options. Kerry's first hand knowledge of SA, having lived in so many places and her incredible people skills ,make organising a trip a fun filled experience, which you can not wait to commence.
From extra tyre insurance in Namibia (which we were so grateful for) to the amazing travel itinerary with directions and selecting the type of accommodation that best suits your needs. The meet and greet at the airport is a lovely touch after a long flight, with guidance to the seamless car hire and the handover of the beautifully presented itinerary, in a locally made printed cotton satchel.
In Kruger, we stayed in the most amazing camps and on this trip, we stayed at Arathusa Safari Lodge as Kerry knew we were keen to see
leopards and it is renowned for it's leopard sightings. We were not disappointed .
The internal flights were a breeze with excellent transfers to and from our various accommodations, something we would have struggled to arrange and all of our accommodation exceeded our expectations .
Our vacations with Kerry's assistance are always unique and as a result our trips become amazing adventures with life enhancing experiences. Sitting on the edge of the Victoria Falls at Devil's pool in Zambia, a morning helicopter trip over the Falls, off road Safari Trips in Sabi Sands, experiencing a 3 month old southern right whale calf exploring our small boat, photographing southern double collared sunbirds in Kirstenbosh and enjoying cocktails at the rooftop bar at the Silo in Cape Town.
Food in SA is amazing and everywhere Kerry suggested was spot on.
Having corresponded with Kerry for over 8 years we were so lucky to meet her in person on this trip and she's even more wonderful in real life - I didn't think that could be possible. Her enthusiasm and love of what she does is captivating and Kerry is now busy helping us with a trip to Botswana/ Kruger/ Zimbabwe for 2026. The suggested itinerary is already flowing.
There is a trip for every budget and Kerry will assist you with ease in finding what best meets your needs and desires.
We have met many people who have travelled to SA and had a lovely holidays but, if you want an amazing, personalised, true Southern Africa experience, then look no further and email Kerry.

Great journey due to information and support of African travel
Exploring wonderful Nambia and Botswana was on my Bucket list for a long time. The dream became true! A lot of game drives, but also walks and boot trips. We have seen a lot of animals in their natural habitat. Besides that there was also room to enjoy nature and people.
Sometimes long driving time, but it was worth it.
Great accomodations and lovely food.
