Helped plan our most perfect trip to Cape Town, Kruger National Park, & Seychelles
Melanie at Pembury Tours was extremely helpful. She was not pushy, offered detailed responses to our questions, and ultimately set-up the most perfect trip. We didn't have to worry about a thing from transportation to relaxation. I highly recommend Melanie and Pembury Tours.

Tammy Harding was incredibly helpful and took care of all the details of our trip
Tammy Harding from Pembury tours was wonderful. I had no idea about setting up a Safari trip in South Africa. She took care of all the details for my daughter and I. We had an amazing trip. There were no hitches or suprises.

Excellent arrangements by Kerry of Pembury Tours
Kerry was an excellent professional to work with over the internet. All the arrangements made were excellent. The staff at Shinde camp were very friendly and attended to our every need. The ability to get the laundry done at the camp was most helpful. Simon was our guide and extra-ordinary. A night drive with him was our first such experience and we were lucky to be able to see wildebeests, a hippo grazing, a hyena and a baby jackal. At Chobe Marine Lodge, breakfast was very good but lunch and dinner were of poor quality. The game drives and boat drives on the chobe river were amazing. Pretty was our guide and after hearing that another guide had spotted a leopard, raced our Landcruiser to that spot and we enjoyed seeing a fully grown leopard on a tree limb. Wow!! The David Livingston Lodge was excellent and Victoria Falls tour was memorable.

My family enjoyed all our African experiences because Pembury Tours had taken care of every detail!
I had reached out to a number of African tour operators advising them of this being my family's first experience to Africa - wanting educational highlights and safari. I'm a detail person so when Heidi Bedford responded to my request with questions for me and not a pre-set itinerary as other operators did, I knew Heidi would provide me with a wonderful experience. And she did! Heidi promptly and happily responded to all my emails:) She put together a well-paced itinerary, including hotels and safari lodges, that were perfect for us! Upon arrival, every member in my family received a lovely cross bag with the detailed itinerary with extra pages of useful information on side trips and animals and maps. The two safaris we experienced were different and more than I had hoped for! I had a most exhilarating African experience and at the same time, the most relaxing because Heidi and Pembury Tours had taken care of every detail. Thank you, Heidi:)

A wonderful trip to South Africa thanks to Pembury Tours
Tammy at Pembury Tours did a wonderful job of arranging our 7 days of safari and making all the travel arrangements for our three weeks in South Africa. She helped us plan our trip and then booked excellent accommodations and transportation for Kruger and Thornybush game reserves, Cape Town and the Garden Route. Communications were prompt and very informative. We were met in Johannesburg with a terrific information package with every detail covered, which also makes a great souvenir of our trip. As a result our trip went perfectly with no hitches and was an outstanding experience. We highly recommend Pembury Tours.

Namibia + Cape Town in November 2018
Anya Visser, of Pembury Tours, organized our trip to Namibia and to Cape Town, which was our first visit to Southern Africa. The result is that our trip was absolutely flawless and a full success.
We stayed in three different lodges in Namibia, moved from one to the other by private plane and were met in Cape Town and in Windhoek.
Every element of our trip was professionnally planned and executed, on time and most courteously by every provider chosen by Anya.
Moreover, Anya always responded immediately and positively to my numerous requests for information or for slight modifications of our initial program.
I therefore cannot underline enough Anya's professionalism and kindness, as well as her permanent availability of which I availed myself on several occasions.
I have already forwarded Anya's contact details to friends who requested them from me and I can only recommend Anya to anyone wishing to fulfil their dream of visiting Namibia and the Cape Town area, as was my case, in the best possible conditions.

Absolutely brilliant --- Laurette was wonderful --- would give more stars if I could!!!
Laurette took great care of us every step of the way, from initial contact, through planning, itinerary changes, special needs, and on through our amazing trip. We can't say enough good things about Pembury and Laurette (and we are experienced world travelers, having been to remote regions of Africa before). We would enthusiatically recommend them to anyone planning a southern Africa adventure!!!

Tammy helped us plan the trip of a lifetime!
I had an absolutely fantastic experience planning my recent safari with Tammy from Pembury Tours. Early in my vacation planning, I submitted multiple inquiries on safaribookings.com. Of the many travel consultants who responded, Tammy was by far the most helpful, prompt, and thorough. She is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. At the time, I had never visited Africa or gone on safari, and wasn't entirely sure what country or region I wanted to visit. Tammy asked all the right questions and answered my endless queries in order to help my partner and I pick the perfect itinerary for us.
We booked 5 nights of safari, split between Thanda and Phinda game reserves in South Africa. We absolutely loved both reserves, which are near each other but offer very different guest experiences. Tammy even secured us an upgrade from the tented camp to the lodge at Thanda, and our accommodations were jaw-droppingly fabulous. What's more is that she saved us a substantial amount of money - the safari was significantly cheaper than it would have been to book directly, even not counting the extra value of the upgrade. She arranged our flights and transfers, which all worked seamlessly.
I'll end with a small example of how Tammy went above and beyond: We only used Pembury for the safari portion of our longer vacation, opting to stay in AirBnBs and travel more independently for the rest. Learning this, Tammy volunteered to take a look at the different AirBnBs I was considering in Cape Town in order to ensure that we were staying in a good, safe location. Her help allowed us to feel confident in even the parts of the trip that we didn't book through Pembury!
All in all, I highly recommend Tammy and Pembury. I hope to return to Africa with them soon!
