Perfect in every way
This was the trip of a lifetime and Pembury Tours helped make our dreams come true. We traveled to Cape Town and Sabi Sands, South Africa, then onto Victoria Falls in Zambia. Laurette was our travel consultant and made sure each and every detail of our trip was perfect. I cannot say enough about the lodging options and the service we received during our trip. Every trip I will take from now on will have to try to compare to this one - and it will be tough! I would highly recommend Pembury and Laurette for your African travel needs. It was worth every single penny!

Very enthusiastic about giving you the best experience, very client-oriented, no single failure
The first thing that struck me upon arriving to Kenya was the amount of rubbish along the roads, but I guess it has nothing to do with the safaris.
As for the safari I had with Jocky Tours it did live up to the expectations that I had. I didn't get to see the great migration, since it wasn't the season yet, but thanks to my guide James I was able to see every other creature in the savannah. James would always provide a couple of words about the name of the creature and interesting facts.
The weather was nice which really added up to the overall impression. I always asked the guide to stop the car and take a picture, which he gladly did, which I guess was another positive moment.
Oh, over the several days of my safari I got to stay in camps of different price segments, and that was my choice (when I was offered to try camps nice and not very nice, I said yes). So, from my experience, it is better to stay in 'nice' camps, it really is important (at least for me).
As for the Jocky Tours, again, very professional, friendly, client-oriented.

Best established and experienced tour firm in Kenya.
My Sana adventure and safari coordinator was exceptional. From the start, they took my brief and put together a 5 days schedule for me that didn't need any change. The agent who was helping me, answered all my questions and send me all necessary information not only for me to prepare properly but also to alight any concerns i may have had.The execution was seamless. I stayed at 2 different camps & hotels, took also 1 flight between camps,transfers, activities and game drives. All executed to perfection by this company and their Partners, everyone involved was very professional and generous. Great smiles!!

Great customer care, competitive fees and experienced staff.
With bookings and guide by Limitless, I and my friends had all my itinerary expectations well catered in Uganda. I hope to return later this year.

Trip of a lifetime. Alliance Destinations makes it happen!
From the first email contact to the final goodbye at the airport, Alliance Destinations succeeded in making our adventure a fantastic one. They took care of all the details leaving us nothing to do but enjoy and soak up all the wonderful things that Kenya has to offer. When time is such a valuable commodity, having people you can trust to take care of things for you is priceless. James was not only our guide but became one of our group! Yes, I will be referring Alliance Destination to others and look forward to traveling with them and James and his crew again!

Well looked after and very knowledgeable guides.
We used Encounter Africa while filming around Cities and villages near Jinja and Mbale. Mark our fixer was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and was pretty much part of the filming crew by the time we left. I'd thoroughly recommend Encounter Africa.

The Total Package - Make a Difference
The best planned trip we have experienced and we did not have to plan anything - just show up.
Alliance Destinations took our mission trip and made it a total mission, success.
James, Daniel, Evans and Jenga were amazing guides and they assisted with our every request. We had a fantastic time with the children and our hands on experiences were rejuvenating (Make a Difference). There was nothing lacking in the tour - only two regrets 1) we could not make a bigger difference and 2) the flamingos have moved to a different lake - that being said we missed absolutely nothing else.
Accommodations were unbelievable, day journeys (when we were not on assigned tasks) were beyond any possible expectations. Thanks for making a life mission, one that was spectacular in every way. Thanks for helping us, Make a Difference. We will be recommending Alliance Destinations for many years to come.
