    South Africa and Victoria Falls

    The team managed an extensive tour itinerary really well. They were prompt, attentive and responded to our requests at all times. We had a party of 7 and many details in the itinerary including flights, special needs like wheelchairs, safari rides, guided tours, sea cruises, etc. The team executed everything well! The local guides in particular were wonderful. For the future, I would recommend 2 improvements - 1. make the duration longer by a couple of days. The itinerary was packed with activities each day and a 1or 2-day downtime would have been good. 2. The weather in Cape Town was terrible. It rains a lot in winter and is a known issue. We should have planned ahead for it.

    Very good organisation and availability & perfect guide

    We had a private trip (as a family) through South Africa with many different stops. Our guide was great, he told us a lot about the country, the politics, the challenges and of course the sights. We were unlucky at a hotel in Cape Town, but this was then rebooked (unfortunately this involved additional costs). The agents team was directly available and took great care of us and our problem. Everything was well organized in advance, all the tickets were there and our guide took great care of us.
