holiday to South Africa & Seychelles
Anonymous, 14th May 2024We had the most incredible honeymoon! We loved every part of the journey. Our guide Joseph in Cape Town was fantastic and the Cape Winelands were splendid. Our guides on safari were experts and so much fun to spend time with. The Seychelles were so stunning and magical. We absolutely loved our honeymoon and would recommend Mahlatini to anyone! The airport pick-ups and drop-offs were also fantastic. Our main problem was with Ethiopian Airlines. While we booked these flights independently, they were the flight itinerary recommended to us by Mahlatini. Their customer service was horrible and they did not honor the seat upgrades that we paid for. Our seats did not function properly on the 14-hour flights (the tray table was broken, the TV was broken, the seat did not recline, etc). We will never fly Ethiopian Airlines again, and it really tainted our otherwise amazing honeymoon. The staff was rude, the plane was not in good condition, and the airline did not honor our upgrades, so we had the worst seats on the plane on the flight from IAD to ADD.

STORY Seychelles
“I would give this resort 3.5 or 4 stars. The resort was beautiful and we really enjoyed our time here. That being said, the service was not great as they were very slow to respond to us and did not do what we asked at times. There were lots of children and babies at the property which made our stay less peaceful. Our room was very nice but needed a bit of attention to be at 5-star level.”
