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!

Dear Paul and Carol,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and heartfelt feedback. It was truly a pleasure to help plan your journey, and I’m delighted to hear that every part of the trip came together just as you envisioned.

I’m so glad you enjoyed your time with our wonderful local guides, from exploring Cape Town with Elizabeth (Liz) to experiencing the warm hospitality at Thabamati and Chobe. It sounds like you had such special moments—from watching wildlife at the waterhole right outside your deck to the unique river safaris in Chobe, Botswana.

Your kind words mean a lot, and I’ll be sure to share them with the teams who helped make your trip memorable. Knowing this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for you makes all the planning so worthwhile.

I hope to welcome you back to Southern Africa one day for new adventures!

Warm regards,
Lize
