Just fantastic. Saw the Big 5 plus a ton more. Perfect experience!
Everything about this safari was perfect, from the first inquiry email I sent to airport drop-off. Jackson and his team are experts at providing a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Everything about this safari exceeded my expectations. The accommodation was top-notch (I went with mid-range but what they provided qualified as luxury), the food was plentiful and varied, the vehicle was well-equipped with everything from a drinks fridge to charging ports, and the route was planned carefully so that you get the maximum time for the experiences you come to Africa for.
My guide, Frank, is an absolute professional and a great guy! We saw more lions and elephants and giraffes than I could possibly count. He showed me a leopard, cheetahs, several groups of lions resting and feeding, herds of Cape Buffalo, and more wildebeests and zebras than I could ever count! Literally thousands of them! He recognizes your personal interests quickly and is so good at spotting creatures. He showed me animals I never expected to get to see. We saw the Big 5 and so much more!
Frank is the best. His ability to spot wildlife was amazing. We were often the first ones at sites where 20+ lions were feeding, and he quickly zipped to spots where other guides reported rare sightings. If I expressed interest in a particular animal, he made sure I got to see more of and learn more about that animal. I couldn't come up with a question weird enough that he couldn't answer it.
The cultural activities on the tour were done responsibly and respectfully (which is important!) and I really felt like I got to interact with and learn from local communities in a way I could never have expected on my own.
Don't miss the chance to go out to visit the Hadzabe and Datoga near Lake Eyasi with their partner guide Alex as part of your visit for a more comprehensive understanding of Tanzania and its amazing cultural heritage!
Do not hesitate to book with Jackson and his team. Frank was a champ and this was the trip of a lifetime. Tanzania is a beautiful country and you couldn't do better than letting these guys show it to you!
Side note: do not let online reviews dissuade you from coming to Tanzania in "low/rainy season." It rained for about an hour one night and never during the day. That could be a case of good luck, but regardless of the month, you will see an incredible variety of wildlife in Tanzania. The abundance of these national parks is unmatched.
See you guys next "low season"!

Incredibly thoughtful and kind- Heidi at Pembury tours made our dreams come true!
My husband and I just got back from a two week vacation to Zimbabwe and South Africa and all I can say is- wow! We had such an incredible time and it is all thanks to Heidi at Pembury tours. From the very minute we arrived everything was taken care of. This was our first major international travel and we were both a little nervous, but Heidi thought of everything and we were so comfortable. Every transfer, excursion, meal, and accommodation was perfectly thought out and the service was always 5 stars. Heidi did a great job of balancing the list of things I told her we wanted to do, while also adding some of her own fantastic suggestions. She even booked us an amazing dinner for my husbands birthday! I could go on and on, but what I'll say is if you are planning a trip to SA-Pembury tours will make sure your dream vacation becomes a reality! Thank you so much Heidi!

The Head of the Company is very nice and helpful. All in all the trip was an amazing experience!
I would definitely recommend the safari with this company because everything is so well planned and secure. You don’t have to worry neither for transportation, food or water. And the people, from the driver on Zanzibar to the driver and guide on Tanzania Mainland - they are so nice!

Great operator, easy to reach; awesome overall experience
The booking process was easy and the communication (in case of questions) was also very professional.
The Safari itself was awesome - we had a great experience and managed to see all Big Five. John always took great care of us, was always able to answer our questions and knew the ins and outs of the park. I would definitely do another safari with him!
The overall experience was very good!

Andrew was a very friendly, kind and funny guide with a lot of experience.
7 of us experienced a 4-day safari over Serengeti Wakanda, which I can recommend to everyone. We saw 4 of the Big 5s and were able to collect a lot of unforgettable impressions.
Andrew as a guide and Abdullah as a cook were great and gave us a wonderful stay.
Even if we were they at rain seasion we were very lucky with the weather und could see some rainbows.
