South Africa Travel Agents & Reviews

This trip resulted in the most extraordinary two weeks of my life! Everything, and I mean everything, was absolutely perfect. I had a vision of what I wanted this trip to be and worked with Sherilyn at the travel company to bring the vision to life. She provided sound advice and created an itinerary that was spot on! Throughout the year of planning, Sherilyn was extremely responsive to any questions or concerns that I had. I was provided a very detailed trip itinerary, along with everything I needed to know about traveling to Africa.  No stone went unturned and we were very prepared as a result of all of the information provided.The trip itinerary covered both Southern Africa and East Africa over the course of two weeks. We pulled out all the stops and included as many activities as time would allow.  From a helicopter ride over Victoria Falls to a rhino walking safari in Zambia to a hot air balloon ride over the Maasai Mara in Kenya—none of the activities disappointed!Every one of the guides we had was excellent.  The service we received at the airports (both inbound and outbound) was exceptional. All of the accommodations (hotels and camps) were amazing and we would definitely stay at any of them again.This was definitely a trip of a lifetime and I don’t believe it will ever be outdone! Thank you Zicasso for connecting me with this travel company!

The trip was great. We got to see everything we wanted to see, including the big five and the migration of large herds of wildebeests and zebras.The travel company was extremely helpful. The pre-trip prep was very thorough, but the true test came when I lost my cellphone in Mara towards the end of the trip, and then our return flight was unexpectedly cancelled. So I was stranded in Nairobi with my 12-year-old, having almost no means of communication with the rest of the world, and the rebooked flight was not until 5 days later. The travel agency worked with local providers and put together a 3-day side trip for us to go to Lake Nakuru to see rhinos, rebooked our local transportation, and made sure that a local agent would be at the airport to help us when we departed --- and they made all the arrangements within a day. They helped make a really stressful situation a lot easier to deal with.   

My husband and I had a fabulous honeymoon. The travel agency provided us with every piece of information we needed throughout our trip. We felt extremely taken care of on every leg of our trip and we had no hiccups. We were able to really enjoy our time together and not worry about any details.

Neil from the travel agency was amazing to work with!!  He really listened to what we wanted in our first trip to South Africa and most importantly he listened to the BUDGET we wanted.  He really KNOWS South Africa as he is South African and has owned and run a safari lodge.  He has put together an excellent team so while you're in country you have outstanding support throughout in case there are any issues.  With Neil, we planned an extraordinary birthday trip that included 5 nights in Cape Town, 3 nights in the Winelands, and 7 nights in 2 different safari lodges.  He handled EVERYTHING from all our transfers, our wonderful accommodations, wine tours with specialized wine guides, and our safari lodges. 

We kept asking each other, were we just extraordinarily lucky or had Neil deliberately arranged the best guides and trackers, the most comfortable accommodation, and four lodges each with a unique setting?All transfers and internal flights happened on time. The staff at each lodge and transportation providers were an example to anyone in the hospitality industry. Their help and guidance made the entire experience just awesome. That’s a much over used word but it’s an understatement here.The rangers made sure that we saw the big five and the endangered wild dogs (even a den of puppies) but also insured that we could see the animals going about their wild and free activities. Rangers provided context and their training in natural science extended to birds, plants, trees, geology, even the brilliant stars in the southern hemisphere skies.

Our trip to Tanzania was executed well and went off without a hitch. We enjoyed every minute of the safari-the game drives, the luxury lodges and tent camps and the great meals! Relaxing at the end in Zanzibar was a nice finish to our trip!

My now wife and I took our honeymoon trip to South Africa. We used Cearl at the travel company and she was absolutely incredible. From the very first conversation she was super attentive and really considered all of our needs and budget. We wanted the trip of a life time and she made that happen. Cearl carefully planned our itinerary, listening to all our wants, and formulated a trip specifically tailored to us. Further, Cearl went above and beyond to ensure fair prices as well as safe and reliable tours and transfers for the entire trip. Every aspect of the trip was planned out for us and we really just needed to show up. Cearl has vast experience with the southern Africa area and even has perfect guides and transfer partners to show you the best time. I highly recommend this travel company for any trip to South Africa or that general area and you will not be disappointed. My wife and I are big travelers and had very high expectations for a luxurious honeymoon to the Sabi Sands reserve, Cape Town, and the wine country, and all of these were exceeded.

From start to finish, this trip exceeded all expectations. Every question and concern was addressed. Karen and Charles seem to have a passion for sharing this part of the world. We could not be happier with our experience and plan to tell everyone we know to just GO!
