Trip of a Lifetime!
South Africa

May 25 - Jun 7, 2024
We cannot say enough positive things about our experience with KimKim and our trip to Africa. Our specialist was able to recommend an itinerary that perfectly suited the travel interests of both myself and my husband with only a paragraph or two of input from us. As we got closer to the trip, they continued to add and update details with our itinerary, which became a wonderful reference as we moved from one place to another once our journey began. And we have run out of compliments about the locations that they chose for us...... the accommodations in every city were amazing, as was the service. I would especially like to recognize Kruger Shalati for their amazing property, food, game drives and overall service, and to Unembezza (and our specialist) for surprising us with an amazing suite and birthday goodies to celebrate my milestone. All of our drivers were early for our pickups, and all transportation was entirely smooth throughout the trip (and we moved quite a bit!). We had an amazing time in Victoria Falls and South Africa and will forever cherish the memories.
Hotel Reviews
Lovely property with rooms/ balconies overlooking a waterhole that brings amazing wildlife to view! Beautiful common area for meals, relaxation, drinks and excellent/ attentive staff
Small boutique type hotel, outside of big game area but that allowed for us to take long walks in the area and see amazing wildlife like giraffe! Pool and overlook deck were very nice. Nice spa options. The honeymoon suite is amazing, with an outdoor shower and relaxation area, huge closet.
The combination of the privacy and charm of the Dock House with access to the Queen Victoria amenities is pretty fantastic. The guest house is AMAZING..... huge rooms, including a sitting room and private patio area. Right across the street from shops and restaurants on the V&A Waterfront. Service is outstanding (especially Ashley, our breakfast host!)
This is perhaps the most amazing place that I have ever stayed. What a unique property with incredible touches (and service). If you have any interest in trains, this is your spot! The carriages were beautiful, with direct views of the river and all the wildlife that it brings. We were able to watch buffalo, crocodile, hippo, and even giraffe from our room. It's worth noting, though, that the train rooms do require some walking on the bridge to access them, so just a heads-up for anyone that doesn't love heights (garden suites are also available). The pool area in the middle of the bridge is a very special spot (and the bartenders take good care of you!) All meals were amazing, as was the staff, from beginning to end. And each of the game drives brought something special. What a treat to have been able to spend three nights here. We highly recommend!
Hi Liz, thank you so much for your wonderful review and for the hotel reviews. We couldn't be happier that you had a wonderful holiday and birthday in South Africa :-)
