Everyone who our local specialist Nokuthula put us in contact with was amazing. Our guide to hike up Table Mountain, Fatima was very knowledgeable and helpful as well. Everything about the trip was very planned out and outlined in the details. We were in constant communication with everyone if anything came up or if we had any questions during our stay. Couldn’t recommend them any higher.

Anna-marie and team did an amazing job planning our family trip to South Africa and Zimbabwe. From unique local experiences we never would have discovered on our own to ensuring our trip had enough to engage and inspire both kids (ages 10 and 12) and parents, I can't recommend their services enough! You won't be disappointed!

Lize was always patient with our planning of this trip. She was supportive, constructive and responsive in our communication emails.
Her ideas for the itinerary were excellent 👌
There were so many highlights of the trip, we cannot single one out.
The hotels were great and staff helpful.
Having a pre programmed satnav certainly helped with driving and navigating, especially on the long, remote roads around Namibia.
We would certainly recommend your company to family and friends.
