Adventure Holiday to South Africa & Zimbabwe
George & Barbara Wallis, 10th May 2022Having not experienced Africa or Safari before we did not know what to expect. Our whole trip vastly exceeded our expectations on every level. The quality of hospitality, food and wine and above all the friendliness of the people made this holiday beyond anything we were prepared for. Absolutely fantastic!!
Accommodation Visited
Cape Grace, A Fairmont Managed Hotel
“An exceptionally well run hotel. Located within a short walk of all the great waterfront destinations in Cape Town. The staff were fantastic and no request was too much trouble. It goes without saying we really enjoyed our time at Cape Grace.”
The Last Word Franschhoek
“The Last Word was a haven of tranquility, well located for the numerous gourmet delights that Franschhoek has to offer. Yet again a wonderful vacation experience.”
Grootbos Forest Lodge
“From the moment you arrive at Grootbos you enter a world of superlatives. The location with its fantastic Walker Bay views, the staff, the accommodation, in fact everything very much out of the top drawer. You feel very privileged to have experienced such a wonderful destination.”
The Victoria Falls Hotel
“The Victoria Falls Hotel initially came as a bit of a surprise after the wonders of Grootbos. It is a step back into Edwardian splendour and takes you a moment to adjust. The pace is slower but once acclimatised just as enjoyable. Victoria Falls are an awesome spectacle and the area adjacent to the hotel is filled with African art and wildlife.”
Highgrove House
“Another surprise! Highgrove House is an old colonial farmstead set well off the beaten track in dense lush jungle. It is very private and secluded. A restful interlude in a hectic schedule.”
Ngala Safari Lodge
“We had a message from Mahlatini to say that the best had been saved till last. This proved to be totally true. We felt very privileged to have one of the most experienced Safari guides in Dyke Khosa and his tracker Gedis. These two were able to show us the Big Five, the white lion, one of only three in the world and many other wonders of the African bush. With the pampering delights of the Ngala Lodge this was an unforgettable experience.”
Staff Review
“Every flight and every pick up ran faultlessly to time. A total tribute to the Mahlatini organisation and staff. We received all our pre trip documentation and instructions and these were totally informative. During our trip we felt the guiding hand of Mahlatini all the way with much appreciated messages and gifts at every destination. A big thank you to Nikki and all the staff at Mahlatini for making our special trip so memorable.”
