South Africa Safaris with Seychelles

My wife and I had a wonderful experience and met nice people and professional guides that showed us a small part of your beautiful country. The pace of our stay was very good for older folks. We enjoyed Cape Town and all the sightseeing done with our guide: Table Mountain and the scenic drive to Cape of Good Hope, and the time spent in Franschhoek and the guided tour. The time spent at the game reserve gave us exposure to some of the wild animals that we had never seen but in movies or magazines.

Thanks to Zicasso’s travel specialist and her team for preparing our trip. It was very easy and the Zicasso website works very well.

Zicasso’s travel agent was a delight to work with. He turned our extremely ambitious wish list into a two-week dream itinerary that included stays in Cape Town, the Winelands, a safari lodge, and Victoria Falls, and ended with three nights aboard a houseboat on the Chobe River. All accommodations were superb and perfectly situated for enjoying the local scenery and culture. 

We transitioned from the cosmopolitan beachside vibe of Cape Town’s Camps Bay to a safari lodge that looked out on a busy watering hole frequented by hippos, zebras, elephants, antelopes and giraffes. We took advantage of many excursion opportunities: shark-tank diving, a swim in Devil’s Pool above Victoria Falls, a helicopter ride over the falls, ziplining, wine tasting, quad biking through vineyards, and a visit to an elephant sanctuary that included interaction with the animals.

Thanks to our agent’s meticulous planning, each day flowed seamlessly into the next. Transportation to and from airports and excursions was handled by a friendly cast of drivers and guides, all determined to make sure we had the best experience possible. We went to bed each day feeling like it had been the best day of the journey. It’s rare for my expectations to be exceeded, but our agent and his team did just that. It was an extraordinary experience.

Our first trip to southern Africa was amazing, exceeding all expectations. We saw everything we came to see, and more. The game rides were well structured and safe, the visuals were unbelievable, and taking a side trip to Victoria Falls was a great idea. The accommodations were quite luxurious, despite being considered mid-range. There was always someone there to greet us and guide us at every travel point.

Zicasso's tour operator tailored our itinerary to our wishes and was wonderful to work with. Things couldn’t have gone better.

Our "Cape Town to Cairo" adventure was the trip of a lifetime and Zicasso’s travel specialist played a huge role in making it so successful.

I spent more than a year planning this journey and it was important to me to work with a travel specialist who was on the same continent and in a similar time zone. She was always available, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the entire process.

What impressed me the most was her support when we encountered a few unexpected snags along the way. She was immediately in contact, actively working to resolve issues and keeping me informed every step of the way. Having someone on the ground who could respond so quickly provided tremendous peace of mind.

From five wonderful days in Cape Town to our safari adventure near Kruger National Park, Victoria Falls, Botswana, gorilla trekking in Uganda, and, finally, Cairo, every detail was thoughtfully arranged. The travel specialist’s expertise, professionalism, and dedication allowed us to simply enjoy the experience and create unforgettable memories.

I would not hesitate to recommend this travel company to anyone planning an African adventure.
