Perfect in Every Way!
Anya, at Pembery Tours, planned a three week holiday in South Africa. From our initial contact, Anya listened carefully to our desires and dreams for this once-in-lifetime tour. Since we had never visited SA or done a safari before, we had a ton of questions and were quite daunted by the process. Anya’s experience touring herself, as well as years of planning for others, cut through the confusion easily and we were soon presented with some amazing tour options. And these weren’t cookie cutter tours, but ones that included some less common options, especially Swartland, a newer and less visited wine region that my husband had been reading about. Anya reached out to wineries that don’t often accept visitors and other desired experiences, such as a visit with some specialized nonprofits in Cape Town - every request we made was met with a helpful and enthusiastic response. We loved EVERYTHING about our trip and, upon reflection since we have been home, would not change a thing. The itinerary, the two safaris, the hotels, the flights, the restaurant recommendations…. all top-notch. I could go on and on… A final comment - Pembery works with great partners. Our many drivers and guides were so knowledgeable, helpful, kind, and fun. We learned so much from each of them and and they made each day memorable and rich. We left SA considering them as friends. If you are like us, wanting a memorable experience but confused about how to make it happen, or even if you have done this before but want some expert advice, contact Anya. Anya and Pembery tours are the Gold Standard of African travel!

Patient and competent advice
Tammy made our safari a truly special highlight. We followed her advice and did not regret it for a second. Our safari was simply amazing and will stay with us forever.
Tammy was very patient during the consultation and answered every question quickly and competently. We would recommend her at any time and would gladly rely on her again for our next trip to South Africa.

Excellent tour operator delivering seamless, stress-free travel.
We had an absolutely brilliant trip to South Africa and I can’t recommend Tammy from Pembury Tours highly enough.
From the very beginning, the advice and planning were outstanding and the entire holiday was put together seamlessly by them - from flights, to hotels, to the hire car and everything in between. The whole experience from the safari to the drive along the beautiful Garden Route was unforgettable.
Every hotel we stayed in was unique, welcoming and exceptional. It honestly felt like each stop could have been a destination in itself. Throughout the trip everything ran smoothly and all the information provided beforehand made things incredibly easy for us.
A real highlight was the Travel Portal, which beautifully documented every part of the trip. It contained everything we needed in one place, along with a wealth of useful information about South Africa from safety advice, to tipping guidance, and suggestions for activities and attractions.
What really stood out was how stress-free the entire experience was. All the hard work had clearly been taken care of, which meant we could simply relax and enjoy every moment.
It was a truly memorable trip from start to finish and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
Excellent
Kerry Ririe at Pembury Tours and I go back years and I have used them whenever I am planning a trip to Southern Africa to visit family and friends. We are not the easiest customer often choosing our own destinations with high demand. Kerry is exceptionally informative and helpful making the process seem so seamless. I can highly recommend Pembury Tours.

Pembury Tours crafted a personalised, seamless, and unforgettable African travel experiences with ex
Our honeymoon, planned by Gail and Pembury Tours, was nothing short of extraordinary. From start to finish, every detail was perfectly curated, allowing us to fully relax and soak in every magical moment.
We had the absolute privilege of experiencing the breathtaking Okavango Delta in Botswana, followed by the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls in both Zambia and Zimbabwe. Each destination was unique and unforgettable, and the seamless transitions between locations made the entire journey stress-free and enjoyable.
Gail truly went above and beyond in every aspect of the planning. Her attention to detail, care, and dedication ensured that our honeymoon exceeded all expectations. It was clear that she put so much thought into creating a once in a lifetime experience for us.
We cannot recommend Gail and Pembury Tours enough. If you are looking for a perfectly planned, unforgettable travel experience, they are the team to trust. We will most definitely be using them again in the future!

Absolutely superb service!
Susan was recommended to us by a friend of a friend, and I am *so* grateful she was! We were planning a trip to South Africa, and were overwhelmed by choices and really unsure how to choose between them. Susan gave us excellent advice and made some superb recommendations, from which we picked Umlani Bush Camp from the Timbavati reserve. Susan took care of all the arrangements, and sent us a super useful itinerary and travel guide, which we relied upon heavily throughout our South African adventure. She also helped us find a hotel in Johannesburg and gave us really good advice about building our itinerary there.
We had the most magical four nights at Umlani. It was everything Susan had said, and more. And she was available on email and WhatsApp throughout the period leading up to our stay and during it. We were confident that we were well informed, well supported and enthusiastically cared for. Susan helped us build a really special holiday, the memories of which will last a lifetime.
I would not hesitate to recommend Susan to anyone wanting to book a safari - or indeed any element of a holiday in South Africa. Pembury Tours are excellent value for money, superb communicators and deliver all they promise.

Pembury listens to requests and responds accordingly in a professional manner.
We are grateful to Anya and her Pembury team for pleanning our fantastic South African Tour. We miss South Africa already. All of the arrangements Anya made for the tour were spot on from the greetings and transfers from the airports, the hotels, tours and activities. Every aspect progressed smoothly in a professional, friendly and timely matter. Anya took our requests seriously including the pace of the trip, the choice and location of the hotels and the activities. The restaurants and hotels were genuinely happy to share our anniversary with us which made the visits even more special. We have a better understanding of the beauty of South Africa, its people, its animal treasures and especially its food as we tried lots and lots of food. The safari at Seti exceeded our expectations as we saw the big 5. Planned activities at Victoria Falls, Sabi Sabi, Cape Town and Franschhoek were all memorable and highly enjoyed. We cannot recommend Anya and Pembury Tours enough.
Thank you for all of your help making our tour so exciting and memorable,

Tami was spectacular!
This is the second time we have used Tami as our travel agent for Africa. Both trips have exceeded or expectations. She was a detailed communicator. Everything went exactly as planned. We felt safe and taken care of our entire trip. The only surprises were good ones. She was readily available for questions or concerns and helped us navigate everything. Every detail went exactly as planned. We had a wonderful Safari experience and ended at a fantastic all inclusive resort on a beautiful beach. Cannot say enough good things about Pembury or Tami.

Amazing!!
Kerry was so helpful throughout our entire planning process and when we were on our vacation. I cannot say enough about her professionalism and her response times. We revised our trip several times. My husband loves to travel in style, she booked us at amazing hotels and on fabulous safari’s. I have been recommending her to everyone!

Simply the best
I have used Pembury tours on two occasions and I’ve had a perfect holiday on both times. They organised a three day safari for us on this occasion and us along with others said that it was the best Safari they’ve ever been on.The organisation was exactly as planned timing spot on and minor glitches were sorted leaving us stressfree. Even the sudden changing of the top of our flight home presented no issues. I cannot recommend this company highly enough. Melanie’s organisation was spot-on well priced and tour guides used were excellent.
