Fantastic
Everything from the start communicating with Wilson and getting the package together was brief and responses were always on time. The trip put together for 17 days, it was excellent and will recommend to everyone. We were 2 adults and 2 teenagers. We started from Kilimanjaro where we were collected by our guide Ahmed, a Young guy from Uganda who took care of us all the way getting out of his way to make sure we were all ok throughout the trip. Most accommodations booked were incredible and the safari was just a mind blowing experience going through Tanzania passing through Manyara Lake, Ngorogo, Serengetti, passed to Uganda Queen Elizabeth park and end our trip in Rwanda where we got to see the mountain Gorillas in Virunga....All I can say if that I would do it all over again!

We had the best holiday ever thanks to Pembury Tours!
We had a wonderful experience with Pembury Tours.
Our agent, Anya, took all our requirements in terms of timing, budgets & quality and organized a trip accross Southern Africa that was outstanding and of amazing value for money.
All the accomodations she had booked for us were amongst the best we've ever stayed with, and she made sure that we would get the best rooms and packages available for the money. The guides she had booked for us were also excellent, very knowledgeable, friendly and accomodating.
In terms of logistics, our trip went as smoothly as you could hope: all our transfers were present on time, we were always provided with information when arriving in a new locations about our upcoming arrangments.
Finally, we also very much appreciated the little extras, for example, asking our lodge to plan a private surprise dinner for us as it was our anniversary. Very appreciated! Last but not least, Anya was also super responsive answering all our questions via email, and she adapted quickly and always found solutions to our needs.
We will highly recommend Pembury Tours to our friends and family!

We had a dream trip thanks to Pembury Tours!
We are so pleased with the services provided by Pembury Tours. Our tour consultant was Anya Visser, and she couldn't have helped us more. Great communication, very professional and extremely helpful. She managed to efficiently organize all our trip requirements, in great hotels, with smooth transfers, and even gave us some recommendations of restaurants etc. We honestly couldn't be more satisfied so we would like to thank her for organizing one of the best trips of our life. Thank you!!

Fantastic Custom Safari Exceeded Our Expectations
This was our first safari, and with zero experience we needed a lot of guidance and hand holding while planning our 21 day adventure in Tanzania and Zanzibar. Hannah was a tremendous help, responding quickly to every question and concern. The safari camps were fantastic, each one unique but of similar high quality. The food was wonderful, healthy and delicious. Paul was our guide in Ruaha, and his knowledge, expertise and good humor were a highlight of the trip. We recommend Paul Tickner Safaris without hesitation, and are confident that we made the right choice in safari companies!

Exceptional service for our last minute family holiday
Wow, what an incredible experience! This was our first time in the Maldives and we were blown away by the landscape, the service before and on the trip and the fact that we were actually able to have a relaxing holiday with a one year old.
We decided to travel very last minute but Discover Africa made it so easy. Within a few days they had sorted out our itinerary and accommodation. We were a bit uncertain about traveling our one year old so they went the extra mile to make sure the accommodation suited our needs perfectly. It was almost effortless for us and really set the tone for an unforgettable holiday.
The resort (Adaaran Select) is super well kept and clean. The beach villas are located right on the water and they have everything you need. I particularly liked the outdoor bathrooms. Everyone at the resort made us feel super welcome and the quality of service was outstanding. My husband got some great waves at Lohis and was well looked after by the surf team. I had some exceptional dives and really enjoyed yoga classes in the mornings.
Alice at Discover Africa listened our requests, understood the type of holiday we were looking for and put together a perfect break for us, quickly and efficiently. We will definitely book with them in the future. Thanks again!

Supportive, experienced, reliable and an absolute worthwhile LifeJourney experience ! Top !
At first some hesitation to book this journey, but during the tour it became clear that my expectations were met. I have done multiple other cycling tours mostly in Europe but amongst wild animals like a giraffe is something you do once in a lieftime. Spectacular views and cycling between the Masai people is absolutely something different. The lodges or campings were tidy and food services are sufficient.
The tour was carefully planned so there were no bad experiences. Our guide Rene was very supportive and funny. There is a supportive 4 x 4 car that drove during our tour with us so that gave me a very safe feeling if something would happen.
I hope Rene will expand these cycling tours around Africa sothat I can book them straight away. No doubts!

Awesome guides and some unreal sightings
Given it was the high season, Noah and team were responsive and were super flexible with everything from pickups to payments. We had a little hiccup on the first day, the 4x4 that we were suppose to be on broke down the night before but they had a contractor guide step in who was great. Since we did both Kenya and Tanzania, we changed guides often (we had 4 guides over 8 days) -- our two favourites were Eustace and Steven. They were absolutely amazing and thanks to them we saw more elephants than we could count, a pack of 14 lion cubs right by the side of the road and 4 leopards. It was an unbelievable trip and these guys are great. Also, I'd highly recommend staying at Tortilis Camp in the Serengeti and Tloma Lodge in Kenya -- our top two favourites accommodations!

Best. Week. Evaaa
Me and a friend went on a six day, camping only, safari tour in Kruger national park with Ryan and his assistant Lungisani. As it is already pretty clear from the previous reviews, both Ryan and Lungisani were tremendous to hang out with and really know their stuff about every wildlife and flora you can possibly encounter at Kruger. Ryan is a fantastic guide and a great guy with storytelling abilities around the braai to die for and a pair of eagle eyes which can even spot the smallest bird a mile away. Pair that with some quite amazing cooking skills as well and it's safe to say we made the right decision of booking our safari trip with Wild Planet Safari. After three days his assistant Lungisani joined us and made the trip only better. He is a really fun guy and always happy to help with whatever, plus his spotting skills are not too bad either... Overall we had the best time with Ryan and Lungisani. We saw a bunch of different animals, had the best food imaginable, had some good laughs and we were able to do it with two great people. It really was the trip we were hoping it to be thanks to Ryan, Lungisani and Thale and we really recommend going on a safari with Wild Planet Safari.
