Perfect trip! Beyond expectations and on budget!
So glad that I found Pembury Tours on Safari Bookings. Planning a trip to South Africa was a bit overwhelming until I contacted Pembury. They responded to my inquiry in minutes, and it was on a weekend evening! I was paired with Anya Visser from Pembury who worked with me (over both Skype and email!) over a couple of weeks to schedule the perfect trip for two friends celebrating a 30th birthday. I realized my time frame was a bit short since I started planning this trip just two months prior to departure, but Anya handled it beautifully. She was careful to stay within our moderate budget and made sure to still include all of our "must-see" activities in Capetown, Greater Kruger, and Victoria Falls.
From the moment we arrived at our first stop in Capetown, I knew this trip was going to be an incredible experience. All of the partner companies that Pembury scheduled us with were top notch. We were able to do a private tour to the Cape Peninsula, private Winelands tour, and a hike up Table Mountain. Though my friend and I are both well-seasoned travelers, it was so nice to be so well taken care of on this trip. Every pickup and dropoff was already arranged. The only thing we had to schedule on our own was dinner (for which Anya also provided great recommendations!) For the Kruger portion of our trip, we were booked at Naledi Bush Lodge. I have to say, this was the highlight of our trip! Everything about that place was outstanding. Following our stay in Kruger area, Anya recommended the Panorama route to get us closer to the airport. The scenery was breathtaking. What could have been a dull day in the car for several hours turned out to be an incredible tour through the Drakensberg Mountains. Our final stop was Victoria Falls. Our hotel (The Kingdom) was incredibly convenient to the Falls, and once again, everything worked out perfectly. Our trip was capped off with a boat cruise of the Zambezi River with a surprise upgrade!
I cannot thank Anya and Pembury Tours enough for a great vacation! I will most definitely contact Pembury again for future trips in Southern Africa!

One of the most amazing experiences of my life!
I cannot recommend this safari trip enough. It was a very last minute decision of mine to go, and I was a little apprehensive as it seemed so cheap, but it genuinely is just a great deal. Jane from Kenan Travels was so lovely and so helpful, and made me feel very secure. Our driver - Isaak - was also a dream, and hilarious! I met the most incredible people, ate wonderful food, and saw absoltely everything I wanted. Incredible expereince to do - I would say especially on the joining group as you meet so many people! Thanks Kenan Travel and Tours!

Aruni (guide and driver) is the best!
Overall Kenya impression is way beyond expectations. Masai Mara National Park is the most exciting place I have visited in my entire life (I've been to 17 countries).
Our guide Aruni (I hope I correctly spelled his name, sorry if I did not) is very educated and experienced person. He showed a great patience to us.
Aruni is not only very knowledgeable guide but also a really great driver! (he drove on 2-WD in places where you can simply stuck with All-WD!).
I recommend Karibu Safaris as trustworthy and affordable safari providers in Kenya.

Group Travel with Tanzania Explorer a MUST!
Tanzania Explorer made our trip to Tanzania with 14 Swedish students (15-19y) an incredible experience! From pick-up at the airport with breakfast boxes, to customized and educational visits to local villages and their schools, to safaris, rainforests, cities and waterfalls the experiences that Tanzania Explorer has shown us will stay with us for life! As the Swedish supervisor of this trip I feel so comfortable knowing that Sondre and his team have the local connections and experiences to ensure that my group are always safe - and a relaxed teacher leads to relaxed students. The students have so many questions and the guides always have answers. TZ Explorer has a briefing every evening - making the next day the best, most exciting and different day of their lives. This is the second year that I travel to the Selous region with the students and this year was a different trip with more exposure to the stunning geographical diversity that is Tanzania. We saw arable plains, bustling local markets and Masai cowherds.This year we saw the rainforest of the Udzungwa Mountains with its lush vegetation, villages nestled into the hills and rich fertile red earth. We saw local schools and special needs schools. We saw the ocean and we saw the heavens from atop a peak in the Uluguru Mountains after a hike. What I am trying to say is that I, as the one ultimately responsible for 14 young Swedish people, feel entirely safe, confident and sure that my trip with Tanzania Explorer will be an adventure, will be safe and will be one that we will never forget. Thank you!

wonderful luxury family trip in Uganda safaris
We had a wonderful trip that Kibale tours arranged and carried out. We did a round trip of 7 days in Uganda to see animals and sites. Peter and the team were professional and made sure we enjoyed and utilized our time to get the best experience. We had a safe journey with great pleasure. I recommend them very much.

Amazing sitings and warm character
What a joy to spend time with Armand from Rhulani in the Kruger!!! He is such a warm person and we enjoyed his laughter and fun personality tremendously. His knowledge about the Kruger, the animals and the bush was awesome and we learned a lot. We saw everything there is to see in the Kruger, it was as if the animals was drawn to Armand. A male lion even walked past us so close we could touch it! Armand made our visit to the Kruger so special. I will definitely use Rhulani again! Thanks guys, many blessings on your work!
