Great recommendations, plenty communication and support, couldn’t fault them.
Although I usually enjoy planning holidays myself, this was my first venture into Africa and I did some research on partnering with a local tour operator. Pembury Tours caught my eye with many fabulous 5* reviews and I made contact about 12 months before our trip.
Melanie responded quickly with plenty of ideas, taking on board things we knew we wanted in the itinerary, along with suggestions of things we hadn’t considered. Once we had confirmed our booking, Melanie was in regular communication to tweak and confirm aspects of bookings, so when the time of our trip came we had nothing less than 100% confidence that arrangements would be smooth.
And they were. From the initial meet and greet, accommodations and activities, all were put together with the expertise we had seen on other reviews, and Melanie included her number so we could message via WhatsApp if needed. In fact it was, as the weather in Cape Town didn’t play ball, and we had to swap some activities around - Melanie was still working late evening to rearrange things on one occasion.
We had 3 nights at Arathusa Safari Lodge in Sabi Sands which was a fabulous choice. We had seen the Big 5 within 2 safaris, and continued to see more sightings through the stay, as well as the resident hippos and elephants.
Our holiday was perfect, and much of that was down to the skill and judgement of Pembury Tours, and we would recommend them to anyone considering a similar tour.

Fantastic service!
Sibu was incredibly professional, friendly, and reliable. He made the drive to and from the park smooth, safe, and genuinely enjoyable. Couldn’t have asked for better — highly recommended!

Happy Tour to Sossusvlei 😍
A fantastic trip to the red dunes in a large van with a superb guide.
The overnight stay in the Namib Desert in a very comfortable lodge was an added highlight. We highly recommend it!

Super WOW Safari Experience
An excellent experience: three days immersed in nature with an excellent guide, who carefully observed the animals' every move and provided us with a wealth of information about the different species and their habits. We slept under the stars in a tent among the animals, and when we woke up, we found an elephant in our campsite.
The food service was also excellent; the chef was attentive to the needs of the entire group, and the food was fresh and delicious every day.
The agency staff was extremely helpful in organizing the experience and managing all the transportation.
Highly recommended, also for the excellent value.

My tour operator Brighton had the perfect combination of background, experience and enthusiasm.
I was very impressed with my Zambezi Quest Travel experience in Zimbabwe and Botswana. Brighton organized a wonderful series of park visits, game drives and walking tours that gave me an immersive introduction into the local environment. Our discussions left me with a deep appreciation for the culture, history and ecology of the region. I could not be more pleased with my experience and would highly recommend Brighton and Zambezi Quest Travel to any person or group looking for an informed introduction to the beauties and background of Southern Africa.

Reliable, entertaining, and organized
This experience was very interesting and fun, I mean, seeing Victoria falls so close and from both countries. It was amazing, a dream come true! The whole trip, exploring nature, walking so close to the falls, and the adventure of seeing both sides of Victoria Falls from Zimbabwe and Zambia was fantastic. Our guides were Mike from the Zambian side and Thuba from the Zimbabwean side. Both Mike and Thuba were so kind, organized , knowledgeable, and fun. Thuba and Mike made sure we enjoyed our tour and were safe. They also guided and helped us through the border process, which was a little bit cumbersome, but we made it quite quick with their help. We had such an unforgettable and cool time during this tour.
