My Traveller Reviews

See what my clients have to say

• Thanks so much for all your help in organising the honeymoon. We had the most amazing time and everything was so well put together. Both the Cape Cadogan and The Country House and Villas were amazing finds and we really enjoyed our stays there. Londolozi was fantastic and you can really feel the family atmosphere that the Varty's have brought to the camp. And we're really pleased to say that the St. Regis was wonderful as well. The room was second to none, and the food in the restaurants was truly top quality despite the low occupancy rate which was about 15%.  The spa was beautiful with 12 treatment rooms which were huge! I would recommend people to go there just for the spa experience. The rate you managed to secure was fantastic as well. Thanks for all your help, and we'll be sure to pass your name along to our friends and family who are looking to do a holiday in Southern Africa.

• Greetings from Luanda, I just want to send a quick note to thank you for arranging our SA trip.  Wow, what a trip it was! We didn't make it to the top of Table Mountain because of weather, however we did make it to the top of Lion's Head thanks to the wonderful, knowledgeable guide Dominic.  We toured Robben Island, drove to Cape Point and Cape of Good Hope via Simon's Town and back along the coast and Chapman's Peak. Loved our stay in Hermanus...shark cage diving was fun and we also drove to Cape Agulhas and got some great pictures there.  We loved our accommodations and especially the owners. We drove the coastal route to Stellenbosch which was absolutely, breathtakingly beautiful!  My only regret was that I had to keep my eyes on the road! We arrived in Nelspruit without a hitch and found our way to Perry Hollow Lodge.  The Elephant Whispers experience is one I will never forget.  The drive from Hazyview to Hoedspruit was also stunning.  It was a relief to drop off the car and get picked up and driven to our next stop.  Ramona, I had no idea what kind of luxury we were in for.  I cannot say enough about our safari experience and the wonderful staff at Shumbalala Lodge.  I felt like I was saying good-bye to family when we left.  We met the owner and went on our first game drive with them seeing 4 of the Big Five our first night.  It seemed like everyday we had a new adventure.  We asked for a 'good taste of SA' and I feel we got more than a good taste. Thank you for all the work you put into arranging everything for us!  I look forward to booking our next holiday with you (Namibia next month)

• My wife and I have returned from South Africa having had the trip of a life-time.  What you arranged for us worked brilliantly.  Walden House was perfectly positioned for exploring Cape Town; just a shame that one couldn’t gaze onto Table Mountain from either room or garden!  There was a superb café/restaurant just 50m away. For Excelsior I’ve just done a Trip Advisor review, complimentary in virtually every way.  It was a real home from home.  As for River Bend:  absolutely superb, befitting its five star status.  Extremely friendly staff, huge attention to detail, wonderful safari guide, fantastic wildlife and landscape.  To have it to ourselves as it were, due to the concession being private, just added to the experience.  We left with great reluctance! So, thank you for arranging our trip.  Can I make just one suggestion?  We drove Route 62 to travel between Excelsior and Singing Kettle and I’d recommend that to anyone following our footsteps.  It’s easy driving on an empty road and gives a taste of a whole landscape we’d otherwise have missed.

• What an amazing time both of us had in SA and much to do with your fabulous itinerary and the great organisation and efficiency that you and your company provided us with. From the very outset of day 1 in Cape Town to the final day everything ran smoothly without so much as a fault in the itinerary. The accommodations you selected for us were superb and we would not have changed any of them.All were very different and we enjoyed each place for it's own unique atmosphere, setting and style. I was also very impressed to recieve a call from your office upon hearing that we were a little disappointed with the facilities in the first room we were allocated and this just proved to me that we had chosen the right company to organise our special SA trip. We have really had the trip of our lifetime and much is thanks to your good suggestions and organisation. Ramona, thank you so much on behalf of both me and my mum. We absolutely loved SA and will certainly recommend both the country and your company to all of our family and friends. I sincerly hope to be back ASAP and I will do my best to promote your country as a wonderful destination to visit. We will be back and we will be in touch and once again, THANK YOU!

• I'm writing on behalf of my family and myself to THANK you from the very bottom of our hearts for the wonderful African experience. It was so indescribably beautiful and seamless. Chobe Game Lodge was the best choice ever, the people there made us feel so welcome and the true owners of the reserve, the animals, did not disappoint. They all showed up to welcome us, from the tiniest dung beetles to the magnificent lion, all there for us to admire. Kingdom Hotel at Vic Falls was great, so convenient to base our tour itinerary from there. My eldest daughter went to Devil's Pool on the Zambian side and that was an unforgetttable experience for her! The transfers, flights went like clockwork, so smooth. Thank you once again Ramona! We promise to go back to Africa again, there's still so much to discover.
