Making sure, what was promised was properly delivered. Priyal, the owner herself has been checking on this and makes our trips seamlessly easy. Priyal and the team, we thank you for always delivering and we look forward to booking our next vacation with you.

Excellent safari
Had an excellent 1-day safari with Golden Rwanda safari’s and Emile as a guide. Picked up right outside our rented house in Kigali at 4am. Driving through Akagera for about 5 hours in perfect weather and saw a lot of animals.
Highly recommended

Hamidi & Pierre were both attentive, friendly, professional, and cordial during both our tours.
I was fortunate to go on TWO tours with Makario while in Kigali for a conference. The city tour takes you to multiple different vibrant locations within the capital, while the Gorillas tour is a bucket list excursion that I would suggest for anyone. While the latter was expensive, a majority of the fee goes to the park itself to maintain security and lifestyle for the gorilla families.
The experiences were amazing, and I really want to thank Hamadi and Pierre for an incredible job. They were both informative, cordial, professional, safe, and wonderful people. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful staff and country with us. When I refer people to experiences in Kigali, it will be synonymous with "Makario". We have been very happy to work with you and those other guests we've spoken with at the conference all agree.

Thank You Joyous Time
Had a great time with this tour company. I was volunteering in Tanzania for 2 months and did a 6 day tour in the end, absolutely amazing! I took a budget 6 day tour Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. The guide what absolutely brilliant, couldn't possibly find a better guide. Professional, obviously had plenty of experience and knowledge and more than that, was just great with people and comfortable to be with. Saw plenty of animals and the beautiful country o my. Food was great and operation overall smooth. You just have to go there and not just see it on tv!

Fantastic service and level of knowledge - won't use any other safari tour operator
Kerry Ririe was our tour consultant and this was the 3rd time we have used her & Pembury Tour services.
Absolutely fantastic level of knowledge and excellent service.
This holiday was a 10 day trip to Kruger National Park, with 2 days at Idube Lodge to finish our holiday.
Patrick, who met us at the airport and guided us to the car hire, was a lovely chap, very friendly and professional. He made our arrival very easy, efficient and stress free.
The Hire car was really good. Easy pick up & return.
Our first night’s accommodation at Critchley Hackle Lodge, Dullstroom was perfect and we had the most delicious dinner on site - a wonderful start to our holiday.
The camps in Kruger were very good. Kerry spent time assisting and advising us on which camps to stay at. Our favourite by far was Olifants, with our bungalow having the most superb views over the river. It was hard to drag ourselves away.
Game viewing was excellent, everyday was filled with wonderful wildlife, the highlights being 2 cheetahs on the Timbavati road and a pride of lions blocking the road as we left Lower Sabie very early one morning. Giraffes fighting and wild dogs at the side of the road sleeping off a busy morning and honey badgers at dusk, all greatly added to our experience. We must have seen over 30 wild dogs in two packs, it was just amazing as we hadn't seen wild dogs previously and they were so much fun to watch.
We had four separate leopard sightings .... each one was breathtaking.
We didn't see a rhino until our last day in Kruger, which completed the big 5 and then saw rhino twice daily at Idubi .
The drive to Idube was a bit bumpy in places but, the car handled it well, otherwise very straight forward and Kerry's directions were excellent.
Idube had lovely staff, with our tracker Ian & guide Mark, being excellent. They made each safari fun and extremely educational.
Accommodation was good with a very comfortable bed.We really enjoyed our time there. The public areas at Idubi are very attractive and all of the staff were lovely they even shared a couple of recipes with me which was so kind .
Long drive back to Jo'burg airport after breakfast but, good roads and very achievable .
Overall, another fantastic holiday - thanks again to Kerry & Pembury for making it so smooth, so personal and so amazing. Her incredible knowledge and ability to marry our wishes and needs have yet again ensured that we had the holiday of a lifetime. We really appreciate how she tailors our wishes into the most fabulous trips even when our wishes are bigger than our budget. We talk a lot about how special Kerry makes our holidays. Namibia stands out in particular, we could never have done it without her and we will be forever grateful to Kerry for introducing us to Addo Elephant National Park. Thanks to Kerry SA is our number one destination choice. We've shared kerry's name and that of Pembury Tours with so many people who are eager to consider a SA holiday but uncertain as to where to start.
Kerry & Pembury Tours have given us the most amazing holidays and Kerry's first hand experience and recommendations have ensured that every trip has been outstanding . We wouldn’t consider having anyone else assist us.

Extremely knowledgeable, professional, and friendly!
Our time with Wild Planet Safari was AMAZING! It was honestly, the trip of a lifetime. Our guide, Chris, was so awesome! He took care of all of our needs, showed us amazing wildlife, and gave us countless facts and tidbits about everything in the park. There was no question I had, that he didnt know the answer in detail. Breathtaking view, stunning close up encounters with incredible animals.. I would go back out with Wild Planet Safari RIGHT NOW if I could! It was worth every penny!

fantastic, unique, breathtaking
We booked a 7 day safari.
The booking went smoothly and the provider was always available.
We went with the guide E. An absolutely great guy. Big kudos to him! His knowledge of wildlife and parks is insane. He was able to answer any of our questions. He made our safari very special!
With a great deal of humor, knowledge and caution, he drove us through the parks (he always knew where to go and where the best spots to see animals were).
T. cooked for us.
He conjured up absolutely delicious menus for us every day. At noon and in the evening there was always something warm. The dishes prepared were always very varied (lasagna, quiche, pizza to more traditional dishes).
When it comes to cooking, he has always outdone himself. Heavenly delicious. Kudos to him too.
We were completely satisfied and will definitely recommend you.

The adventure will be there
I really loved my stay
The proposed activities totally pleased me.
I felt safe, the organization is great.
It's very varied, I really had the feeling of being immersed and that's what I was looking for.
I highly recommend.
