Our guide Zane Matthews was superb — he was extremely knowledgeable about Cape Town’s history and culture, was extremely accommodating in satisfying our every wish, had excellent suggestions for our free time, and was a very safe and courteous driver.

Our time at Thabamati Safari Camp in Timbavati game reserve was especially memorable. Delicious food, beautiful accommodations, super guides and trackers, especially Brett, and our hostess Courtne was especially warm and hospitable.
