We had an incredible experience with Under Moroccan Sun. Maryem did an outstanding job planning our trip, providing thoughtful recommendations, and was incredibly responsive throughout the entire planning process.

Our driver and guide for the week, Ismeal, took great care of us. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and helped make the long drives enjoyable by sharing information about Morocco's history, culture, and daily life. One thing we especially appreciated was the flexibility of the itinerary. If we were feeling tired or wanted to adjust our plans for the day, they were always happy to accommodate us.

The accommodations Maryem selected were exceptional. Rather than large chain hotels, we stayed in beautiful boutique riads and guesthouses that gave us a much more intimate and authentic experience of Morocco. Some of our favorite memories included our camel trek into the Sahara Desert and the opportunity to meet local families, especially our stay at Dar Rihana in the Dades Valley, which was truly unforgettable.

The local guides in each city were also friendly, knowledgeable, and added so much context to the places we visited.

We would highly recommend Maryem and Under Moroccan Sun to anyone planning a trip to Morocco. Their attention to detail, flexibility, and focus on authentic experiences made this one of the best trips we've ever taken.

Dar Rihana Dades
Douar AĆÆt Ouffi

Dar Rihana was one of our favorite stays in Morocco. This beautiful boutique hotel in the Dades Valley strikes the perfect balance between comfort, thoughtful design, and warm hospitality. Our room was beautifully decorated, incredibly comfortable, and had some of the nicest amenities we experienced during our trip. As someone who sleeps with a body pillow at home, I was amazed to find one waiting in the room. It's the only hotel I've ever stayed in that had one, and it was such a thoughtful touch that made me feel right at home. The bathroom was also excellent, with a spacious shower and modern amenities. The pool area is peaceful, beautiful, and the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring the valley. What truly makes Dar Rihana special is the people. Mohammed, who manages the property, made us feel like family from the moment we arrived. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and always happy to help with anything we needed - even swimming lessons! We also enjoyed both dinner and breakfast at the hotel, and they were excellent. After a week of traditional Moroccan cuisine, the French-inspired dinner was a delicious change of pace. If you're visiting the Dades Valley, I can't recommend Dar Rihana enough. It feels personal, relaxing, and genuinely welcoming. We would happily stay here again.

Luxury Oasis Camp Merzouga
Taouz

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Luxury Oasis Camp, though it ended up being one of our less memorable accommodations during our trip through Morocco. The camp itself is beautiful, and the tents are comfortable and well-appointed. Our favorite part of the experience was, without question, the camel trek into the Sahara. Mohammed, who led our camel ride, was incredibly friendly and made the experience so much fun. Riding camels through the dunes at sunset was one of the absolute highlights of our trip and is something we'll never forget. The hospitality at the camp itself felt a bit less personal than what we experienced elsewhere in Morocco. It's possible this was because we visited during the peak summer season, but the service didn't have the same warm, attentive feel that we had become accustomed to throughout the rest of our travels. One thing that surprised us was how close the camp is to several other desert camps. We had imagined being more isolated among the dunes, though that may simply be the reality of many desert camp experiences rather than something unique to this property. Despite those points, we're very glad we included a Sahara camp in our itinerary. If you're considering the experience, we'd absolutely recommend it for the camel ride alone, it was unforgettable.

Dar Laman
Chefchaouen

We really enjoyed our stay here! The host was incredibly kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. He also prepared us an amazing lunch that ended up being one of the best meals we had during our entire trip to Morocco. The room itself was quirky, charming, and full of character. It felt like the kind of place that makes traveling memorable—unique, authentic, and unlike any standard hotel experience. If you're looking for somewhere with personality rather than a luxury resort, this is exactly that. The only minor drawback was that the shower was a bit rustic and could use some updating. It wasn't a problem for our one-night stay, but if you're planning to stay several nights and prioritize modern amenities, it's something to keep in mind. Overall, we'd absolutely recommend this place to travelers looking for an authentic, one-of-a-kind experience in Chefchaouen. The warm hospitality, delicious food, and unique atmosphere made it one of the most memorable stops on our trip.

Fes

We had a great experience on our walking tour of Fes. It was definitely a full day with a lot of walking, but our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and happy to tailor the tour to what we were most interested in seeing. One thing we really wanted to do was shop at the famous tanneries, and he made sure we had plenty of time there. He was flexible throughout the day and adjusted the itinerary based on our interests rather than rushing us from stop to stop. One of our favorite moments wasn't actually a planned stop. We took a break in the shade at the Nejjarine Museum of Wooden Arts & Crafts, and ended up sitting and talking with our guide for quite a while. He shared his story of growing up in Morocco, getting an education, moving to Fes, meeting his wife, and what dating and courtship are like in Moroccan culture. It was such an interesting conversation and gave us a glimpse into modern life in Morocco that we wouldn't have gotten otherwise. Like many tours in Fes, there were several stops at artisan workshops where we could watch skilled craftspeople making leather goods, pottery, weaving, and other traditional products before having the opportunity to shop. As someone who enjoys making things by hand, I genuinely appreciated seeing the craftsmanship that goes into these products. By the end of the day we were definitely ready for a break, but that's more a reflection of how much we packed into one day than anything else. Overall, it was an excellent introduction to Fes, and we left with a much deeper appreciation for the city's history, artisans, and culture.

The camel trek through the Sahara was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Morocco. We weren't sure what to expect beforehand, but it ended up being an experience we'll remember for the rest of our lives. Our guide, Mohammed, was incredibly friendly and made the ride fun from start to finish. He clearly cared about the camels and took his time making sure everyone was comfortable. He was also happy to help us take photos along the way, which meant we came home with some amazing memories. Watching the landscape change as we rode through the dunes was unforgettable. It felt peaceful, surreal, and unlike anything we've ever experienced. If you're visiting Merzouga, I highly recommend adding a camel trek to your itinerary. It's such a unique way to experience the Sahara, and it ended up being one of our favorite memories from Morocco.

I absolutely loved my experience at this hammam. It felt luxurious from start to finish, and the space itself is beautiful. The decor and design really add to the whole experience. This was my first hammam, and the staff did a great job explaining everything and making me feel comfortable. As an American, being fully nude for this type of experience was definitely new to me, but everyone was very professional and made the whole process feel completely natural and relaxing. The massage was also excellent. I am a total baby when it comes to deep pressure, and the massage here was perfect for me. It was relaxing and effective without ever feeling too aggressive. This was definitely one of the highlights of my time in Morocco and an experience I would highly recommend!

As a traveller with a group of 20 (where we were a couple with a 1 year old baby), I found the trip itself to be well organised with good options for a group of our size. Special shout out to our guide who took us round the Split Diocletian's palace. She was outstanding with her storytelling and humour. Very engaging given we were already exhausted from an afteroon at the Plitvices National Park!

The choice of restaurants were mostly good with some absolutely exceptional experiences like the private tour around the island of Hvar with dinner at a restaurant with outstanding food and views of the setting sun!

There were many exceptional experiences and if I had one area of improvement, it would be that it was far too much to navigate as a couple with a young baby. We would have valued advice and alternative options before going on the trip so we could choose what would be possible to do with a baby.

For example, we struggled to enjoy the travel via Mostar (having to go through 2 border controls on a bus journey while managing baby feeds, changes and naps) and would have preferred not having to deal with the mulitple check ins and check outs where we were often having to deal with being outside at the hottest time of the day! It's worth checking if the itinerary is suitable for one's specific needs. We had to cancel one of the hiking excursions towards the end of the trip when we finally learned that it was probably going to push all of our exhaustion levels too far! Which was a real shame as we could have dropped something else and done a lovely hike up to the Dubrovnik viewing point for a sunset view.

Having said that, the person our group lead interacted with was quick to respond to feedback and offer changes to the itinerary like when we realised the walk from a ferry to the Hvar hotel was not tenable for our group, they arranged for transport when we needed to make the return journey back. It just made the trip a little less enjoyable than I could have been.

All in all, we'd probably use the services again but I would double check that the itinerary works for specific needs and feedback before fixing the itinerary.

Way too far from the beach and a really tough walk up to it, especially for a couple carrying a baby in the hot sun before check-in. They were unable to do early check-in either and given how far it was, we were stuck hanging out there for a few hours as it was too much trouble to walk back to the water front. Not the greatest breakfast and the room was ridiculously small given we were a couple with a baby. No cot provided and shower was so small, there was no way I could get away with safely bathing the baby.

Not the highlight of the trip. We landed in the heat of the sun along with bus load of tourists.

Camila took over from Ethel and seemed to be new, less prompt and inexperienced and sometimes less practical, e.g. providing train tickets from the main station for the final trip to the airport with all our luggage, instead of a driver from the hotel, of we got museum tickets for the ship museum in Ladby when we had originally asked for the viking ship museum in Roskilde, or provided museum tickets were not accepted because there was a viking festival which should have prompted a different ticket, instead we had to buy new ones. Furthermore, not all our hotel stays were adjusted to the smaller number of 5 (instead of 6) even though we had communicated this many months in advance and so we actually paid more for the whole trip. In all, it appeared as if Camila doesn't travel much, lacks attention to detail, and as if she doesn't live in Denmark.
The hotels were nice, but the rooms that we were given quite small - and none had air-conditioning - for the level of pricing that we paid.
If we had to do it again, I believe we would not do it with kimkim, now that we discovered how easy it is to travel in Denmark. Discovering during the trip that the number of people was not adjusted or that tickets weren't correct was stressful, but we still had a good time.

Private Stonehenge Tour with Inner Circle access from Bath

Wonderful and enthralling experience. We had the same tour guide - Dan - for this as for the walking tour of Bath. Dan is fantastic and really gave us a detailed experience within the stone circle of Stonehenge.

Dan was wonderful and helped us both understand the context of Stonehenge and shared some wonderful insight both on the ancient history, but also more recent history of visitors.

We thoroughly enjoyed both the tour guide that preceded our entry into the Tower area and the Beefeater (Tower Guard) that provided the tour within the Tower castle area. Both were engaging and knowledgeable and very responsive to questions.

Quality of Experience
There is about a 15-20 minute pre-entry tour guide that escorts you to the meeting place with the Beefeater - he was very good at setting the stage for the second part of the tour. The Beefeater guide was similarly fantastic.

Today our guide Yanto at blue flame was also amazing. He stayed with us the whole hike up and down and was a delight to be with. Would recommend him as a permanent guide for anyone speaks English or needing English speaking guides - would recommend same with Teguh as well - both of them were great for us.

He did a great job of putting together a fun trip. I love how Kimkim is also constantly available on a day-to-day basis -- explaining what we can expect, making sure guides assist with every transfer and all transportation, and ready to make adjustments or answer questions as needed. Sebastian helped us on the mainland and Carolina helped us on the GalƔpagos and both were readily accessible. All of the guides Kimkim hires are knowledgeable and helpful and, on every trip, we have at least two or three guides who go above and beyond and are absolutely amazing. If you're in Quito, ask for Francisco! He made great suggestions, knew a ton about the city and its fauna, brought us treats in the morning, and even took his by his house to taste a traditional drink that his mom makes. In the Amazon, Marcelo was exceptionally knowledgeable and helped us see birds and monkeys I know we would have missed on our own.

Although we were pleased to have AC, this was probably our least favorite hotel, although I can't entirely say why we felt that way. The location was great -- very convenient to shops & restaurants & the pier -- & the rooms were spacious. My room had an amazing view. The manager was surprisingly gruff when guests were asking for towels for the day. Although I was able to get some for the day, the manager refused to give them to other guests, saying that the tour boats were obligated to provide them -- but they did not. The to-go breakfast was also inedible & a lot of the baked items & breads were stale at the regular breakfast. I also ended up with ants in my toothpaste....

A great team & great service. Nice bar, too. We were definitely glad that we stayed here & not the lodge that was another two hours upstream. Although we had been encouraged to stay for 3 nights, I'm glad we only stayed two because I'm not convinced we would have seen much that was new with another day (& it was HOT & buggy). The food was decent.

Nice hotel, but nothing special. Not in a particularly interesting area, but it felt safe. The hotel does not have AC, which was fine in my room since my window didn't face the main street, but it was a problem for my daughter, whose room faced a busy street. Breakfast was good, though, & the service was great.

Lize outdid herself in planning this unforgettable journey for our family through South Africa and Victoria Falls. Our goal was to truly experience the region, and thanks to her, we did just that.

The trip offered an outstanding variety of experiences. Lize masterfully coordinated this intricate itinerary, seamlessly managing multiple hotels, flights, private transfers, tours, and activities.

Every person we encountered throughout our journey went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and ensure an exceptional experience. The warmth, professionalism, and meticulous attention to detail demonstrated by our guides, drivers, lodge and hotel staff, and everyone we met elevated the trip and left a lasting impression.

We especially appreciated having the entire journey organized in one place, which was invaluable with six adults traveling together. The itinerary allowed us to experience so many different facets of southern Africa—from awe-inspiring wildlife and natural wonders to world-class wine country, stunning coastal scenery, and the timeless luxury of Rovos Rail.

This was truly a trip of a lifetime—filled with unforgettable destinations, incredible people, and extraordinary experiences. We are deeply grateful to Lize and the Kimkim team for making it all possible.

The Victoria & Alfred Hotel was an excellent choice for our stay in Cape Town. Its location at the V&A Waterfront was incredibly convenient, with restaurants, shops, and attractions within easy walking distance. It also served as a great base for our tours of Table Mountain, the Cape Peninsula, the Winelands, and Hermanus. The hotel was comfortable and welcoming, and the staff went above and beyond to make our group feel at home. Everyone we encountered was friendly, helpful, and attentive. We especially appreciated being able to return to such a relaxing and conveniently located hotel after our full days of sightseeing. We would gladly recommend the Victoria & Alfred Hotel to anyone visiting Cape Town.

The accommodations were exceptionally comfortable, and the entire staff surpassed our expectations in making our group feel welcome. Every team member was warm, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to creating a memorable stay. We took part in all three activities offered by the lodge—boat excursions, exhilarating safaris, and a guided tour of Victoria Falls—which allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the area's breathtaking natural beauty. One thing travelers should be aware of is that guests must be transported by golf cart between the main lodge and their rooms. Although the staff was always happy to assist, this required some planning whenever we wanted to leave or return to our room. Overall, our time at Victoria Falls River Lodge was unforgettable, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Victoria Falls.

If you're considering a trip to Iceland, I can't recommend Gummi highly enough. From start to finish, our experience was exceptional.

Our itinerary was thoughtfully designed around our family's interests and needs, striking the perfect balance between adventure and relaxation. Every day was well-paced, and the timing for each stop was incredibly accurate, allowing us to make the most of our time without ever feeling rushed. We experienced an incredible variety of Iceland's breathtaking landscapes and attractions, and everything flowed seamlessly.

Every detail was handled with care—from coordinating our rental car, hotels, and excursions to recommending fantastic restaurants along the way. It was clear that every recommendation came from genuine local knowledge and firsthand experience, making the trip not only unforgettable but also completely stress-free.

What truly set this experience apart was Gummi's attention to detail, responsiveness, and commitment to creating an itinerary that felt personalized to our family rather than one-size-fits-all. We were able to relax and fully enjoy every moment, knowing everything had been so thoughtfully planned.

We absolutely fell in love with Iceland and are still amazed by its beauty and magic. This was one of the best family vacations we've ever taken, and the memories we made will stay with us for a lifetime.

I'll admit that traveling to Southern Africa was not on my personal "bucket list" but I am so thankful that I did. Janneke made planning smooth and definitely recommended incredible experiences for our family to enjoy together. Her recommendations for our group of 3 adults and 5 teenagers kept everyone engaged and involved. While the safaris in South Africa and Botswana were absolutely amazing, some of our most memorable activities included cultural experiences like our Tuk-Tuk tour of Soweto in Johannesburg and the Umazi cultural experience in Zimbabwe that left a lasting impression. Every step of our journey was well coordinated and we felt at ease in our travel knowing that we had easily reachable, responsive representatives available each step of the way. Our guides, drivers and tour operators were professional and personable, helping us to see and experience all of the wonder and beauty of Southern Africa that we could pack into our time there. Even self-guided activities were well explained and we were provided with all the information we needed to confidently explore and experience on our own. I can't say enough about how Kim Kim provides an unmatched experience for our family group making travel to new destinations simple and action packed!

Hotel Reviews
Pioneers Lodge Victoria Falls
Victoria Falls,

Beautiful location with well apportioned rooms, accommodating staff and a colonial feel. The grounds were well maintained and felt like a paradise tucked away from the crowds.

Authenticity & Character
Felt like a step back in time to a quieter, colonial feel.
Location
The grounds were beautiful and the whole resort was great but a little bit farther than other accommodations which usually made us the last stop on group tours.

Ivory Wilderness River Rock Lodge
Hoedspruit

This was my favorite of our three safaris. The travel was long through Klaserie Reserve, but well worth it! The grounds were immaculate and overlooked a beautiful valley with water and wildlife. The rooms were comfortable and well appointed for a safari camp. The staff was accommodating and the food was good. We were traveling as a large family with 3 adults and 5 teenagers and they were very accommodating. Our guide, Ingrid, was incredible! She was knowledgeable and took the time to explain things and get each member of the family involved. We were able to see and experience so many animals up close and personal with rarely another vehicle crossing our path. The reserve was beautiful and I can't say enough about how fabulous this safari was thanks to Ingrid. I would highly recommend Ivory Wilderness for a personal, friendly safari experience off the beaten track.

Authenticity & Character
Owned and operated by descendants of original settlers of the reserve, their love of the animals, grounds and whole reserve was evident. This camp is small which gives it a much more personal feel.
Location
While remote with a bumpy ride through the preserve, the location is worth it. Beautiful views of the valley from the lodge and surrounded by wildlife, Ivory Wilderness was a true gem tucked away in Klaserie Reserve. The remoteness allowed for a truly intimate safari experience with plenty of wildlife and rarely another vehicle.

All the staff were friendly and accommodating but our safari guide Ingrid was beyond incredible!

This was incredible! While you don't see a ton of big animals aside from hippos, the scenery and birds are beautiful. You are low to the water and see things from a whole different perspective. We stopped at an island for drinks and snacks while having the opportunity to learn about different plants and animals. Truly an incomparable way to experience the Delta.

It was unfortunately a cold, windy day. By the time we got to this activity we were too tired to really enjoy it. We did see whales which was cool. If you are really into whales this would have been a great activity. Unfortunately the circumstances of the day and my own personal preferences made it less enjoyable than the many other activities we did on our trip.

With the flooding destroying the dock, this boat ride was a bit of an adventure! We traveled to the river through another reserve and then parked the safari vehicle for a bit of a perilous walk across the sand to board the boat. I felt safe with Ingrid but I will say that I had my eyes out for crocodiles!!! The ride was nice but we didn't see a ton of wildlife. Overall, I would say it was a nice break from the game drives and allowed us to talk and relax in a different environment.

Jumbo Junction was an intimate, family feeling camp. The accommodations were great and it was fun living off the grid with solar power and fire heated water.

We saw lots of wildlife in different situations, all up close and personal! And lots of hippos everywhere!!!

Unfortunately we visited on a very cold, damp day. I can't honestly review my experience without including the weather so your experience could be totally different. Our guides were great accommodating our needs and trying to hype us up in the cold. The lines are well maintained and I felt safe on them. It was a bit of a long drive up and down the mountain and there's a 1km hike out from the final line that's uphill and rocky. Unfortunately I have a bad hip so that was challenging but for a moderately healthy person it wouldn't be an issue.

Dear Kate, thank you so much for this lovely review!

It was such a pleasure to plan your Canadian summer adventure across BC and Alberta. Reading that you got to experience so much, from the Banff Gondola and Moraine Lake to whitewater rafting and bear watching, means a lot to me.

I'm thrilled the hotels and tours lived up to your expectations too. Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback, it really helps future travelers.

Can't wait to start planning your next trip whenever you're ready! :)

Warm regards,
Clemens
