One Week South Africa Safari

We loved working with Zicasso’s travel company. We were impressed by their firsthand experience. They did a wonderful job on our entire trip. Beautiful hotels, great camps, awesome guides - everything was so well planned, seamless from start to finish! We had a fantastic time and highly recommend them!!

In Botswana, we stayed at a camp in the Okavango Delta - a beautiful camp - everything first-rate - wonderful staff - just loved it!! Our second camp was in Linyanti. We liked that both the camps were just a few rooms. This camp was also very nice! The animal experiences were terrific at both camps. Nice service, great food and lots of it, as you get a lot of snacks throughout the day!

We had gorgeous hotels in Johannesburg, Victoria Falls, and Cape Town. Most of the tours were small-group for the four of us, which made it even better to not be in a big group.

In Cape Town, we enjoyed the peninsula, city area, and the wine country. We also enjoyed the Hermanus region.

Our trip to South Africa was nothing short of extraordinary and exceeded every expectation. From the breathtaking vineyards of Franschhoek to the vibrant energy of Cape Town and the unforgettable wildlife experiences at our safari lodge in the Thornybush Game Reserve, every part of the journey was truly magical.

Zicasso’s travel specialist truly did an amazing job, creating the perfect itinerary that met our needs exactly for our party of 11. Additionally, he was extremely responsive, even while we were in South Africa, when I had a simple question regarding gratuity. We had a number of adjustments and changes as we had three families coming in at different times, and he offered multiple options to ensure we all met our budgets and needs. I would definitely use this travel company again for an African trip. The trip was flawlessly executed.

We had a wonderful trip to South Africa and Zimbabwe! Zicasso's travel specialist did a superb job in planning the details of our trip, from airport transfers to hotels, tours, internal flights, and restaurant recommendations. I would highly recommend the travel company.

We stayed in boutique hotels, each with its own character, and all provided lovely staff and good restaurants. The safari lodge was outstanding. Our tour guides/drivers were friendly and knowledgeable throughout the trip.

The only thing we would change is the e-bike wine tasting tour in Franschhoek. The bike route was very rough and therefore dangerous. The guides accommodated our request to revise the itinerary and take us on a better route with less biking time. They also arranged for a van to pick us up at the end of the wine tasting.

What an amazing trip! Everything at MalaMala was first-class. Our daily guide was extremely professional and very engaging. The emphasis on photography during our stay was a unique concept. Our time in the hide at our lodge near Victoria Falls proved to be one of our trip highlights.

Our trip was a 5 out of 5 and I would gladly recommend Zicasso’s tour operator and our travel designer to anyone who is planning a trip to Africa. We loved all of our accommodations, which included 3 camps as well as our accommodation in Cape Town.

All of the people we encountered throughout our 2 weeks took care of our every need in such a thoughtful way. The safaris themselves were spectacular, and our guides were super-knowledgeable and fun to spend time with. Food at all of our stays was excellent. And the logistics for the entire trip were seamless!

We have just returned from our two-week trip to South Africa and Botswana. Zicasso's travel specialist did a fantastic job of listening to what we wanted for the trip and then putting the itinerary together. Our entire party of four had the trip of a lifetime, with all going smoothly, including the airport transfers to/from the hotel, a day tour around Cape Town, a foodie tour in Cape Town, and a stay at the camp in Botswana. We highly recommend the travel company for planning a trip to Southern Africa.
