The trip layout was amazing. The highlight was the anakhala game reserve at the end. Our guide Jono was great. Thank you Lize.

Our guide in Cape Town, Lucy, was fantastic. The itinerary was great. Accommodations were wonderful.

From our planning stages Liz at Kim Kim was terrific. She anticipated all our questions and so many more we were too inexperienced to ask. Our trip was thorough and flawlessly planned from the experience we described to Lize. Our local guides were warm, welcoming and attentive.
Elizabeth (Liz) in Cape Town showed us the sites, gave great background information and recommendations for our free time. The hotel we stayed at was lovely and the staff charming - as was our experience with the people everywhere we visited. Kruger Park and the surrounding preserve where we stayed - Thabamati Luxury Tented Camp was beyond expectations! Hostess Courtne Ranger Brett and all the team provided not only a luxurious experience but a chance to see incredible animals up close from our safari vehicles and looking at the at the waterhole just next to our deck. Victoria falls was lovely and the private/small groups gave us a personal touch. Chose Lodge in Botswana provided an additional opportunity to visit the park from small river boats. All in all, the food, the people, the location, the animals made a once in a lifetime trip for us. Thank you Lize for making this dream come true!

We had an amazing trip. We had a wonderful time in Sun City doing a self drive Safari in Pilanesberg, The palace and the breakfast were fantastic. Our early morning balloon ride was such a beautiful experience.
Sabi Sands was amazing. We went straight to a leapord kill upon arrival. Our guide Peter was amazing and actually tracked a pride of Lions for us.
Victoria Falls was beautiful. We went when the water was high so there was a lot of mist making it hard to see the entire falls, but it was still amazing. The Victoria Falls River lodge was incredible. We had an amazing cook and our Butler David was awesome. Overall the trip was amazing and everything went smoothly with Lize taking care of everthing for us as we traveled from place to place.
We will use Kimkim again in the future. Thank you so much for an amazing trip!!!

My partner, and my, 19 day trip to South Africa and Zimbabwe was a trip of a lifetime.
The success of the trip was in no small part due to the excellent work of Lize (Enderstein). Lize took our high level "would like to do's" and turned them into a marvellous adventure. Her communications were at all times clear, timely and responsive to our needs. The itinerary that Lize put together was detailed, with activities, providers, accommodation, transport and times all clearly spelt out. Accordingly, we felt most comfortable in embarking on the trip.
We did the three night ROVOS Rail trip from Pretoria to Cape Town, spent four nights in Cape Town and three nights in each of the Thabamati Luxury Tented Camp, Timbavati Game Reserve, and the Nkorho Bush Lodge, Sabi Sands. In addition, we spent three nights at the Victoria Falls River Lodge. All were excellent.
To call out highlights is doing the others an injustice, but I will. The ROVOS Rail was 5 star travel. The accommodation was first class, the staff super friendly and efficient, and the food delightful. Our guide, Oliver, in Cape Town made our day trips to Table Mountain and Cape Town, the Winelands, and Cape of Good Hope most enjoyable and informative. Courtene and Brett, our hosts at Thabamati, and their staff, made our stay a real luxury experience. The game drives at both Thabamati and Nkorho were something else. We were most fortunate to see an abundance of a diverse range of wildlife in their habitat. Amazing. And then there was the Victoria Falls River Lodge. We were treated like royalty, with our personal butler Reeves going far and beyond. The excursions to Victoria Falls were outstanding. Finally, in Johannesburg we did a guided tuk tuk tour of Soweto, Johannesburg, which was quite an eye opener.
Well, I haven't missed much, but it was such a great trip.
Thanks to all involved, particularly Lize.
I will use KimKim again.
