We are proud of being a small company; this allows us to provide a high quality, very personalised service. Over the years we have had the pleasure of arranging holidays for some wonderful people and some of them have been kind enough to write or to call and thank us. This means everything to us and we appreciate it. We have copied a few of these kind messages below.

Hi Zim and Stuart, Absolutely stunning!!! We had a fantastic holiday and will definitely be back there in the future. Thanks so much for all your efforts in making it such a great holiday. The pool, food, service,room (we were upgraded to a sea view- thanks for that Zim) etc. etc....were just exceptional and the amount of little touches the hotel did to make our stay special was great- food in our room when we arrived late on the 1st evening, letting us stay in the room until 4pm on the day we checked out and when we did check out Philippe took us for a drink at the bar and chatted to us for an hour or so and I know how busy he is. These are just a few of the many things the hotel did and as I say we will be back and will certainly recommend it to anyone. Thanks again guys for a awesome holiday. best wishes, Ralph and Sarah

Aphrodite Hills, Cyprus. July 2007


Hi Sophie, Just a quick note to say thank you. We had a fabulous time ... Once again, many thanks for all your help. The service and advice you provided was really excellent. Both of us are really impressed and will definitely contact you again in future for similar type holidays.

I&G J - in May 2006


Hi Mark,Thank you for organising another wonderful holiday for us. Everything went smoothly and Tangjung Rhu Langkawi is awesome. The two golf courses we played were great and very different. Datai Bay is fabulous but hard (straight and accurate required) Gunung Raya was a lot more forgiving in that there was room for error. We played them both a few times and loved it. (Although my golf was poor ~ embarassingly poor. Think I was missing the Scottish wind:))))

Mrs M Mac (2006)

The R Family, 2006


Hi Mark, We just wanted to say a big thank you for organising our honeymoon in Mauritius. We had a fantastic time. The Belle Mare Plage Hotel is truly stunning! Couldn’t fault a thing. The staff were very friendly and the food excellent every day. There was so much attention to detail - flowers in the room, in the bathroom, etc. We were even given slippers, a traditional t-shirt and a sarong. Champagne and canapes in the room was a nice touch, including our flower arrangement. Anyway, thanks once again for organising this truly wonderful experience!

H&I W, Honeymoon at the Belle Mare Plage


Dear Sophie and Mark, We arrived home from our 3 week holiday at The Belle Mare Plage where we had a wonderful time and many thanks to you both for all you did for us to make it a memorable 30 years of marriage celebration. The staff are outstanding at the hotel and Resident Manager Sona Bissoondeeal is a kind and thoughtful gentleman. We loved our candlelit dinner and the cocktail evening at The Presidential Villa. We hope to go again next year and will be in contact with you. We shall recommend Chaka Travel to our golfing friends. With best wishes to you both.

H&C I, 30th anniversary at Belle Mare Plage Resort, Mauritius. Sept 07


Hi Stuart, We have now arrived back to a cold, wet Scotland after our marvelous holiday at Belle Mare Plage. Imagine our delight on arrival to be advised that we had been given a free update to Villa accommodation complete with Butler (Villa Master). We were welcomed by the Senior Manager responsible for the Villas and several of his staff, what a wonderful surprise, we were flabbergasted, it took our trip into the realms of fantasy. I don’t know if you had any input to that but if so then thank you very much indeed. The Island is very beautiful and the people friendly, the resort is superb and the accommodation magnificent, our Butler, Jogoo was a treasure and nothing was too much trouble, now we know how the rich and famous feel. All of the Staff we encountered went to extremes to be helpful, courteous and friendly. The golf courses were very challenging but great to play again the Staff very friendly and helpful and as for Le Touessrok golf course at Ile Aux Cerfs, we thought we’d died and gone to Heaven. A truly wonderful holiday which will be extremely difficult to top, thank you to you and your colleagues at Chaka for all your help, there wasnnt the slightest glitch anywhere!!!

Mr G W, Belle Mare Plage Villas in May 2007


Hi Mark, Just a quick note to thank you so much for arranging such a wonderful wedding and honeymoon for us. Mauritius is a truly wonderful place, and we were so well looked after. The wedding was a complete success and we wouldn’t change a thing. The people there are so lovely, kind and pleasant and the Belle Mare Plage was out of this world. Unfortunately we are now back at work and have to return to reality. We will certainly be returning to the island as soon as possible. It will not be next year though because the baby is due in April, another little surprise from Mauritius. Mark, thanks again, you’re a star. Kind regards

D&A H, Wedding at Belle Mare Plage, July 2004


Superb value, absolutely no complaints at all. Everybody in the hotel and at the golf club did their utmost to make this a very special holiday. David, Sue and Emily I

Mixed Pairs Tournament at the Heritage, April 2006


Thank you so much for arranging our trip - it was absolutely fantastic. The flights were on time and Mauritours were very efficient and helpful. The Heritage was splendid and we were able to relax fully eating and drinking too much and enjoying the daily massage!! The staff and indeed all the Mauritians we met were extremely friendly and courteous -nothing was too much trouble. We thoroughly enjoyed the golf playing 7 rounds in all. It is a most attractive course but challenging particularly the front nine and we needed a buggy although a few people did trolley. We found that a number of people had stayed at the Heritage the previous year and one couple were on their 8th visit - this speaks for itself!! The resort would suit our adult children as they are all into golf, tennis, water sports and massage.

Richard B, Heritage, Mauritius


I just wanted to email to say a big thank you to Chaka Travel. Guy & I got back from our honeymoon at The Heritage in Mauritius on Saturday and we had a fantastic time. Everything was just perfect and we want to thank Chaka Travel for doing such a superb job organising our honeymoon. It really was flawless. We were met at the airport and transferred to our hotel very smoothly. The Heritage is a wonderful resort - the staff were incredibly friendly and we felt completely spoilt & relaxed. We had the most fabulous time and really enjoyed the Heritage. It was a brilliant recommendation and the resort was better than we could have imagined! Everything was just amazing, from the staff, to the beautiful resort, pools, beach, the food was incredible and the whole island just beautiful. A perfect honeymoon destination. Mauritours were there to look after any needs we had and we all arrangements were in place to transfer us back to the airport. We have absolutely no complaints and would definitely recommend The Heritage and Chaka Travel. Once again, thank you so much to Chaka Travel for making our honeymoon a dream come true.

A & G H, honeymoon at Heritage Resort, Mauritius Oct 2007


Hi, Would just like to say what a fantastic time we had at the Heritage, after a brilliant holiday last year we were a bit worried that nothing could match it. We were totally wrong, we could not fault the holiday at all, the food, the spa, the golf, the diving, the staff, the hotel, everything was excellent. Do not hesitate to use us as a reference to possible customers, I would speak to them direct or email etc. Thank you once again. We’ll be back!

DW & GE (Second holiday to the Heritage Golf and Spa Resort)


This has been the most brilliant holiday ever, and fantastic value for money. Jo has been very helpful and the staff at the hotel and golf course could just not do enough for you. We have been spoilt rotten. Many thanks! Bob and Nikki J

Mixed Pairs Tournament at the Heritage Golf and Spa Resort, April 2006


The hotel and Premium Package was great value for money encompassing all the aspects we look for in a holiday. Great food, luxurious accommodation, great service and of course, fabulous golf. The golf course was a great challenge every day and Steve and his staff were always friendly and genuinely pleased to see you and help.Helen and Dennis C

Mixed Pairs Tournament at the Heritage, April 2006


Hi Mark, Christine and I would like to say thanks to yourself and Sophie for arranging our holiday and honeymoon. Everything we asked of you and the Heritage was delivered...and more! There are two ladies in my office who are planning to get married next year in Mauritius and IIve already recommended both the Heritage and Chaka Travel to them! I am trying to be brief but I have so many good things to say about the Heritage. The resort itself is fantastic, we loved the spa, all the architecture is amazing and the water theme throughout is perfect. The restaurant manager, Vinay was amazing in preparing our wedding meal. He cooked us a 6 course dinner which wasnnt on the menu (There were 8 in our wedding party and he cooked a different menu for each of us and hand wrote the dishes onto a tropical leaf for each guest which we now have framed in our kitchen!). I have never experienced service like it either. Even in the buffet restaurant we couldnnt even carry our plates back to the table, the waiters insisted on doing this as were on holiday!! All the staff seemed to know us by name too, the attention to detail was superb! The wedding co-ordinators were exceptional, we couldnnt have asked for better service and we complimented both of them to Wendy, their manager. They did EVERYTHING for us! Mark, I loved the course! I played a round with Jerry, one of the proos which was nice. We werennt keeping a score card but I think I actually beat him off scratch! (I play off 7) And finally I wanted to mention a trip to Tamarin Bay where we were accompanied by a pod of dolphins! This was a superb experience filming the dolphins from close range! We moved onto a spot where we were supplied with masks and snorkels and we swam by the reef seeing the tropical fish. Finally they took us to a tiny remote island near Le Morne (only coconut trees on it) where they cooked us a superb bbq on the beach and we had wine, beer and soft drinks. As they were told it was our wedding too they gave Christine a beautiful bouquet of flowers! Thanks again to you and Sophie

Wedding at the Heritage. June 2005


Just wanted to say a million thanks for the wedding and holiday of a lifetime, it was absolutely wonderful. The wedding day was so relaxed and the staff could not have done more! It was everything I wanted and a little bit more, the hotel was amazing, including the facilities, rooms, food but the service and attention to detail was the best thing of all! My new husband managed to go diving virtually every day, and my Dad made sure he played golf every day. The whole group is still talking about the Heritage now, and we all hope to go back one day. I can also thoroughly recommend the dolphin trip to Tamarind Bay, we actually managed to swim in the middle of a pod of dolphins - amazing!

MC, Wedding at Heritage Resort, Jan 2007


Brilliant holiday! Excellent location, superb organisation and perfect weather what more could be asked for ... oh, yes! Fully inclusive hotel where excellent food and wine was ’free’!! Many thanks to Jo (and Chaka Travel) for a well run tournament with great extra ’away days’. Many thanks. Linda and Bob T

Mixed Pairs Tournament at the Heritage, April 2006


Hi Sophie, A note to say we have just returned from the The Heritage and had an absolutely fabulous time. The hotel, staff, service, facilties, etc were first class! Also, a big thank you to Chaka Travel for making all the necessaryarrangements for us and likewise the excellent service you have providedto us. We are planning for a return visit to The Heritage in October 2007 and again for August 2008 and would be grateful if you could give us prices. Many thanks & look forward to hearing from you. Kind Regards

Jane P (2 adults and 3 teenagers, Heritage in April 2007


Hi Sophie, Just to let you know I have written a really good review on tripadvisor about you and Chaka Travel as you have been brilliant and we certainly will be booking with you again, once I have found Richard’s cheque book - I think he has hidden it from me after this wedding/honeymoon/holiday!!!. Thanks

C P (sent prior to her wedding at Legends Resort Mauritius Nov 2007)


Dear Sophie This is to thank you for your very efficient and helpful support in arranging our recent trip to Mauritius. It was a pleasure to deal with you and your company and this contributed to our enjoyment of our conference on health at Sands hotel then to the wonderful 12 days at Le Tousserok. We would certainly recommend Chaka Travel to any of our friends looking for similar service. With thanks and best wishes FC & JR

Touessrok Hotel Dec 2007


Hi Sophie, Just a quick note to say thank you once again. We had a fabulous time ... the Le Touessrok hotel was superb, as was the service. The Le Touessrok golf course was great. Thanks also for the advice on Air Mauritius which was great, the service was really good. I actually think the food was better than BA club class, we would definitely travel with them again. Once again, many thanks for all your help. The service and advice you provided was really excellent. Both of us are really impressed and will definitely contact you again in future for similar type holidays.

I&G J - Le Touessrok in May 2006


Dear Chaka Travel, Just to let you know that we had the most fantastic holiday on Mauritius. It really was beautiful and the hotel was out of this world. It took two weeks to get used to the service!! Everyone was so pleasant - and a Mercedes from the airport to the hotel, well. We were upgraded again when we arrived which meant we had the best Junior Suite of the lot. It really was an unforgettable experience and the two golf courses were superb- despite the loss of about 58 golf balls. The upside of this was that our luggage was much lighter coming back!We had a car for 3 days and visited Black River Gorge and other lovely places. However, the highlight of the holiday for us was a visit to the Island of Egrets off Blue Bay, because we were able to see the Pink Pigeon- a bird brought back from the verge of extinction. There were only four left but now there are about ninety breeding pairs- much more important than golf!!Anyway, thanks once again for arranging this wonderful holiday. Incidentally, CHAKA Travel is highly thought of at Belle Mare Plage - not surprising of course!!!

K&P R (Belle Mare Plage, Mauritius November 2006)


Fantastic Holiday!Dear Mark and Sophie, Just to say an enormous thank you for organising the most amazing holiday for us! It truly was the holiday of a life time! Everything went like clockwork, from check in to arrival. The staff on the airline were wonderful to the children and treated us all so well. Congratulations to you all for that! Our accommodation at the Belle Mare Plage Golf and Spa Resort was superb. We were treated so well and made to feel so special from the moment we arrived. Our rooms were just as we saw in the brochure and we had the added bonus of having an ocean view. The food was amazing and of the highest standard for the entire length of our stay. Staff are courteous and polite and looked after the children so well. They felt very safe and loved every minute of their stay. The golf was brilliant. Again the staff including the caddies exceeded our expectations. The courses were immaculate and a delight to play. The whole package was fantastic and we could not have wished for better. Thank you to all for making it such a memorable experience for us all. We will definitely be going back and of course will be using your wonderful company again, and will be recommending you to all our friends and golfing colleagues. Thank you all again so very much for everything you did for us, your attention to detail and kindness is very much appreciated. Looking forward to the next one already!

The R Family, Belle Mare Plage Golf and Spa Resort 2006


Dear Sophie, I am writing to thank you for my holiday in Mauritius. The Belle Mare Plage was wonderful, my room perfect, the golf courses super. The staff were as usual exceptional. I was very pleased with the flights on Air Mauritius. I have done a lot of travelling over the years and stayed at many a good hotel but I have never been so impressed with everything. I am already looking forward to my next trip. Could you please send me brochures of golf holidays, I am impressed with the company's standard.

Miss Audrey C-P (Belle Mare Plage Mauritius)


The Moroccan people we met were very friendly and most we met spoke passable English, the caddies ranged greatly in standard but all were equally friendly and willing. All in all we can highly recommend Morocco to those who are looking to visit a charming country, steeped in history and tradition and with great golf courses and amazing sites.

Morocco 2006


We had an absolutely fantastic time!!!! Our wedding day was the best day of our lives! Everything was perfect! The hotel was beautiful and the people were extremely helpful. The Seychelles was the perfect location and we hope to return in the future. Thank you very much for all your help in arranging our holiday/wedding/honeymoon - it was superb!!!

Vicky, Wedding in the Seychelles


Hi, I wanted to thank you so much for organising (and hand-holding) us on our trip to South Africa last November. The holiday was absolutely awesome. We did so much and learnt so much and I’ve fallen in love with the country! We did the whale and dolphin watching. Jason did the highest bungee jump, we stroked the cheetahhs at Spier, met some lovely people in Wilderness, did the monkey world visit and the elephant sanctuary, saw the penguins and did some wine tastingg.. Your advice and info was spot on, so thanks again.

K&J South African tailor made holiday 2006


Hi, Thought you may appreciate knowing that we enjoyed a wonderful holiday. The itinerary worked like a dream, the 3 parts to our holiday combined to make a holiday of a lifetime. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into the plans as they evolved.

EB (Cape Town, went on Safari and then to the Belle Mare Plage Resort in Mauritius - Jan 2007)


Hi, We had the greatest holiday ever, and it was seamless from start to finish. Your arrangements were spot on and we had the upgrade at Belle Mare Plage, and even upgraded at Steenberg without asking.Had a cake specially for my birthday and the staff at both hotels were special, and made every minute enjoyable. It was great to see so many in Belle Mare who remembered us even after 3 years since our last visit. Loved Cape Town shame we had only 6 days there. After such a time it is a little deflating to return, but life goes on. Our thanks to you for patiently looking after us, and to Mark for his help.

D.A. (Mauritius and South Africa 2006)


Dear Mark, This place lives up to all expectations on what is continuing to be a very super and special holiday, everywhere has been special and we are just leaving Victoria Falls and the same applies. You did a terrific plan for us.(postcard received whilst they were enjoying a trip which took them to Cape Town, along the Garden Route and up to Zimbabwe to Hwange National Park, Lake Kariba and Victoria Falls)

Ronnie & Joan H


Dear Mark, Just a quick note to let you know that we had a fantastic holiday in South Africa. All arrangements went according to plan and we were impressed with your ground agents who contacted us to make sure everything was O.K. during our trip. Each place we stayed was very special, Princes Grant - good food, beautiful rooms and a fantastic golf course. White Elephant Lodge - a real ’Out of Africa’ experience, 5* luxury service and food equaling any of the private reserves in the Kruger Park - one of Africa’s best kept secrets! Chilli Pepper Lodge - lovely themed suites with kitchen and private braai area, they even kill black mambas for you when they get into your bedroom! If any of your clients are looking for an ’away from it all’ holiday, I can thoroughly recommend all three places they all surpassed our expectations. Once again many thanks for your organisation from a very satisfied client.

Dee P - Golfing and safari holiday in South Africa


Hi Mark, We would like to say thanks to yourself and Sophie for arranging our holiday and honeymoon. Everything we asked of you was delivered ... and more! There are two ladies in my office who are planning to get married next year and I’ve already recommended Chaka Travel to them!

Honeymoon, June 2005


Hi Mark, Back safe and sound after a truly wonderful holiday. The organisation overall was superb and all of your local representatives did us particularly proud, with personal service all the week. Everything went like clockwork from the Thai Airways flight from Heathrow back to Heathrow (a very good airline) - our congratulations to you all. The Golf Courses played were all very challenging, and the Caddies a great asset, our handicaps range from 8 - 20, and we were all happy with the set up of the courses for our abilities. Once again our thanks to you all for a fantastic holiday, we will not hesitate to recommend your company to our friends, and hope it is not too long before we have saved up enough of the necessary to use your services ourselves again.
