Africa was phenomenal! Out specialist Lucy made sure that we had the most incredible experience. She helped us with the planning and was in touch with us while we were there making sure we had no issues. This was my second time using Kimkim and I would definitely use them again.

Hotel Reviews
The Victoria & Alfred Hotel
Cape Town

This hotel was beautiful and in a great location. However, we had a bit of a situation where my friends had money stolen. The hotel said they did an investigation but we felt they could have done more.

We loved this place. It was more rustic and wilderness-like than what we were used to but we liked that. The food was great and the people were nice

I adored Cape Town and our guide was fabulous. He was with us the whole time we were there, taking us to the wine country, Cape Point, and the city. He was very personable and it was great having the same guide.

We visited a few different wineries and had cheese at different places. It was not really a wine and chocolate tour, but more of a tasting experience.

This tour was okay. We saw some whales, but we thought we were going to see more and there were a lot of people on the boat. It was fine but not great.
