A Dream South African Journey Made Effortless by Pembury Tours
Our recent trip to South Africa was nothing short of magical, and we owe it all to Kerry Ririe at Pembury Tours. From the moment I reached out with our travel dates, budget, and a rough itinerary, Kerry took the reins and presented us with three stunning options—each more exciting than the last. It was clear from the start that she truly understood what we were looking for.
We began our journey with two delightful days in Franschhoek, wine tasting via the Hop-on Hop-Off Wine Tram. Elmer from La Rochelle Tours elevated the experience with his passion and knowledge, teaching us how to truly appreciate every glass. From there, Rosa at Paradise Touring guided us through the breathtaking Cape Peninsula, sharing the beauty of the coast, the charm of the penguins, and the majesty of Table Mountain under clear skies.
At Motswari Game Lodge, we were welcomed like family. Our guide Owen kept us laughing and marveling as we spotted the Big Five in a single evening—an unforgettable moment. The intimate encounters with elephants, lions, leopards, and graceful giraffes were awe-inspiring.
We wrapped up our adventure at the beautifully refreshed Idube Game Lodge, where the wildlife magic continued with wild dogs, even more leopards, and endless photo-worthy moments.
It was hands down the best vacation I’ve ever had with my family. Every detail was thought of, every experience was curated to perfection. When it’s time for our next African adventure, Pembury Tours will be our first call.

Kerry Ririe set up a phenomenal trip for us!
The views were amazing, the animals were amazing, and the people were wonderful. Every evening I thought the next day couldn't get better, but it did. We toured Cape Town and the surrounding area, Victoria Falls (to include the Elephant Encounter), Chobe National Park, and Camp Xakanaxa in the Okavango Delta. Kerry Ririe from Pembury Tours put our itinerary together after consultation with us and it was perfect! She did an excellent job, very attentive to every detail. The lodging recommendations, the transportation recommendations, our guides were all excellent.

worth the money for the quality service - compared to previous experience
Always consider what you want & how much you are willing to spend, remembering travel companies use local tour operators to provide the service. Consider the country you are visiting & can local tour operators be hired instead of international companies, we had priced the exact same trip with another operator who was more than 35% more for the trip
Pembury Tours, Kerry who supplied the service, arranging the trip was excellent throughout & was available during the trip when required for questions or advice. We did 16 days Southern Africa Explorer with Botswana & Victoria falls.
- Cape town, Durban, Natal battlefields, kruger NP, Blythe Canyon, Chobe Game Reserve.
Communications were always clear & immediate during the research phase with Kerry, & was very helpful with suggestions as well as receptive to our needs or requests. never forced any thing for a sale, gave recommendations & while we did do a lot of research. it ended up with probably one of the best trips we have had.
Service was class, never once was told speak to the local tour operator to solve - we didn't have a contract with them, she & Pembury would solve everything immediately & most of the time the outcome was better than the original. We had a bad experience previously, when our main tour operator said speak to the local operator- we have nothing to do with it.- unfortunately they had been very good as well, up to the last trip & they were the ones who were 35% more.
we were happy for the value of the trip & accommodations that were selected, knowing the limited time in the hotels, but wanted to have certain amenities, that was also nice with Kerry, we gave here what we were hoping for & almost all the time- the requirements were filled at reasonable cost.
On arrival, overall hospitality of the driver & the welcome package we received as a gift as well as full itinerary printed in detail, with more detail information & pictures & explanations of all the areas, including wildlife you would see as well as history of some areas we would visit.
Each part of our tour, we were presented options are various levels for example the Kruger NP, the number of game reserves, accommodations & costing- if we did again, we may consider a different park, as seeing other tourists pictures later on our trip, it seemed that there wildlife experience was better, but thats something can changed hourly, seasonally, then if you wanted more privacy & quiet.
great experience overall & wouldn't hesitate using or recommending Pembury Tours again- great job Kerry.

Stupendous!
Our adventure to Africa was perfect. Kerrie made sure we saw and did everything we asked. Our accommodations, flights and tours all surpassed our expectations. An added bonus was getting to meet the wonderful woman who planned it. We cannot say enough good things about the entire experience. We have already shared information with family and friends and are encouraging all to contact Pembury and especially Kerrie when they are ready to visit Africa. We started in Cape Town. Then flew to Victoria Falls (Spectacular!). We did game drives in Chobe and the Okavango Delta in Botswana. Outstanding! Save for the long and expensive flights to get there we would love to visit Africa again.

Pembury Tours and Kerry Ririe exceeded expectations!
From the moment we engaged Kerry, she grasped our desire to take 14 family members to South Africa to experience the local sights but more importantly to visit game camps to see all the animals the region has to offer. The planning was easy in that she communicated with us constantly through emails and Zoom calls to achieve a trip plan that turned out to be second to none.
We had 4 families to plan for with members from 6 to 69. This was not an easy task as we stayed in 5 locations. Moving us from place to place turned out to be seamless and our accommodations were first rate. The game camps she chose for us were perfect and our trips into the bush to see the animals in the wild were a dream come true for everyone.
In closing, on any trip you expect hiccups. However, that never occurred much to our amazement. Had we planned this ourselves, there would have been guaranteed hiccups because so much of what Kerry did for us we would never have thought about doing for ourselves. Because of that our trip exceeded 5 stars!
