Traveller Reviews

  • Tour Name

    Lairds was also so beautiful. The staff at all the hotels were so wonderful. They make you feel like you are so welcome. The food was tremendous.

    Patricia Irvine, September 2011

  • Thank you for such a fantastic opportunity to spend time In South Africa. This was my first visit and everthing was perfect. The accomodations were excellent and your attention to detail was superb. Our decision to hire a car allowed us to tour the country at our leisure and not feel rushed or under time constraints- a true vacation. The mapped itenerary was our lifeline to our planning. You did an amazing job for us.

    Adele Perry, February 2011

  • The hotels picked were wonderful - especially the Walden House and the Lodge Lairds near Knysna. Shadi even got to do the highest bungee jump in the world and I had a very close baboon encounter near the Cape. It was a very memorable trip.

    Shadi Eskaf, July 2010

  • We would highly recommend Laird's lodge at Plett's Bay. It's so beautiful and the staff so friendly and helpful. We wished we could have stayed there a bit longer. The kids too had a great fun at the lodge, especially with the domestic cat and all the staff at the lodge.

    Shailender Mehta, June 2010
