A land of natural beauty and diversity
Overall rating
5/5

The most incredible holiday destination. Weather was amazing, there is a wealth of natural beauty and such a variety of things to wonder at from the penguins at Boulders Beach to the stunning peninsula of the cape of Good hope, being chased in our car by the crazy baboons! Our mini safari was so much more than we anticipated and was well worth it, seeing a variety of wildlife for the first time. The sunsets were incredible on signal hill and the Winelands were just stunningly beautiful. Our apartment on the waterfront was incredible and we felt safe throughout our visit. The vibes at the V&A night and day were chilled, amazing food, great value and singing seals. We topped off our trip with a sobering visit to Robben Island which is a must. This was my second visit to Cape Town and I can’t wait to go again

Wonderful scenery, food , game and accomodation
Overall rating
5/5

My wife and I spent 3 days in Kruger. We saw the big 5.
The accomodation and food at the camp was excellent. The safari guide was knowledgeable about animals and plants. We visited Cape Town, Plettenberg Bay Swellendam and Hermanus, all well worth a visit.
Our trip was organised by Greatest Africa who took great care over all aspects of the visit.

Awesome Journey
Overall rating
5/5

Tour Operator was Pembury Tours; Gail was our Representative.
Our trip was affected by the flood. Both Timbavati & Sabi Sands were inaccessible. Gail was great in arranging other lodging for us, Simbavati Waterside & Kambaku River Sands. Both were fantastic.
Great atmosphere. Staff were friendly & very attentive.
Rooms were huge & very clean. Food was delicious. Game Drive Guides & Trackers, Michael & Jeffery at Waterside, JuJu & Douglas at Kambaku, were exceptional. They made sure we saw everything there was to be seen, up close & personal yet safe.
At first I was disappointed. I had wanted to go to Sabi Sands for years; however, I would not trade my experiences at these two lodges.
I would definitely recommend Pembury Tours & Gail for any travel needs.
