We had an exceptional experience with this Zicasso travel company
We were extremely pleased with all the accommodations and bookings arranged through this travel company. Our travel specialist was exceptional in helping us create a truly unforgettable experience. The lodges she selected perfectly matched our preferences and we were consistently impressed by their outstanding hospitality and the quality of the game drives. We would wholeheartedly recommend this travel company to anyone planning an African safari.
This was our fourth trip booked through Zicasso and we continue to be delighted with their recommended agents. This travel company exemplifies the quality and service we've come to expect.

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 had a fantastic time. The travel company thought of everything and guided us through what could have been a complicated trip. We appreciated that we were met at every airport by drivers and guides. Our accommodations were beyond our expectations.
Our travel specialist really took into account what we told him to make sure our needs and our budget were met. His Zoom calls were so helpful with the planning. We stayed at three different bush camps and each was unique in its own way, giving us a wide variety of experiences and many wonderful animals to observe and photograph.
I have already mentioned our travel specialist to a couple of friends, suggesting that if they are planning a trip to Africa, he is their man. Thank you, Zicasso, for recommending the travel company.

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.

We had an excellent experience with Zicasso’s travel specialist and our travel agent specifically. Planning a trip so far away is never easy! However, our travel specialist took our vision for our honeymoon and made it a reality! Her communication was always extremely prompt and professional.
I wanted several iterations and edits to our itinerary, trying to meet certain goals and price points, and she worked with me until we got exactly what we wanted. We were extremely impressed throughout our entire trip.
All of our guides were prompt and professional, and we didn't experience a single logistical hiccup, which feels like quite the miracle for a two-week trip a 15-hour flight away from home for us. We would highly recommend this travel company’s services for all of your South African travel needs.

Zicasso's travel specialists organized an unforgettable Northeast African safari. Our agent and her team meticulously crafted our itinerary, ensuring it aligned perfectly with our interests. The entire trip was seamlessly organized, with each stop providing a unique experience.
The camps and lodges we stayed in were exceptional. The food, accommodations, staff, and guides were all outstanding. The balloon ride along the Mara River in the Serengeti, canoe safari on Lake Manyara, and walking safari at a couple of our stops, in addition to the private game drives, added to the overall experience. The views from our rooms were breathtaking.
While we encountered an unfortunate event at the airport that wasn’t the agency’s fault, our agent's team was available via the emergency line and provided assistance.
Her expertise and attention to detail made our safari truly memorable. We wouldn’t have been able to arrange such a phenomenal trip without her assistance. We highly recommend our travel company for anyone seeking an incredible African safari experience.
