Customer Comments

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.

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.

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)

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.
