holiday to South Africa
Nishith Desai, 16th April 2025We did not want to put a lot of pressure on ourselves and our travel advisors by approaching this trip as “trip of a lifetime”… but that’s what it really ended up to be. We were looking for something special as a family since our daughters are off to college and that’s how I would describe every day of this vacation. Thanks to Bronwyn and Mahlatini, everything was perfectly planned and executed. Despite all the uncertainties introduced by our visa situation, the trip could not have gone any smoother. We can’t wait to be back again.
Accommodation Visited
Simbambili Game Lodge
“The lodge and grounds at Simbambili were everything that we had dreamed of. Top-notch service, amazing rooms and a game reserve that had something for everyone. Our guide and tracker (Doctor and Service) were really knowledgeable and friendly, and went out of their way to make every game drive truly special. We were able to get amazing views of Big Five and every other animal on our list within the first two drives itself. This lodge is exclusive and intimate, and the staff made every day feel really special. I can’t recommend this lodge highly enough.”
The Clarendon Fresnaye
“The Clarendon is a great value for money. It’s very conveniently located and the staff there was incredibly helpful and welcoming. Our room had an excellent view of the ocean, and the overall property was very modern and clean. There are quite a few restaurants in close proximity, which also helped.”
Staff Review
“Bronwyn was truly a life -saver. She is hands-down the best travel advisors we have ever worked with. We had quite a lot of issues related to our visas and Bronwyn was amazingly responsive, and gave us perfect advice while adapting our schedule and bookings as per the changing timelines. There is absolutely no way we could have made this trip of a lifetime without her. She was so patient and friendly, even when we were getting flustered, and went above and beyond to make this trip a success. Her suggestions (hotels, packages) were so in sync with our requirements that it felt like we’ve been working together for a decade.”
