Adventure Holiday to South Africa & Zimbabwe
Nancy Chin, 21st June 2025Honestly, this trip was never on our bucket list. We were looking for an epic vacation to celebrate our 20th anniversary and decided on this destination after a colleague came back raving about it from his honeymoon. After experiencing it for ourselves, we've been telling all our friends that this should be a must-do for everyone - even if it was never on your radar. It completely exceeded our expectations.
Accommodation Visited
OR Tambo City Lodge
“Very convenient for a one-night stay, especially if you need to be close to the airport for an early flight. It felt like it was literally inside the airport, just a 10-minute walk without ever stepping outside. The on-site restaurant was a great perk, with hours that worked perfectly for us to enjoy a variety of options for dinner, drinks, light bites, and breakfast.”
Shimungwe Lodge
“The quaintness of having only four suites made for an intimate and personalized stay. The staff were incredibly accommodating and attentive, making us feel truly cared for throughout. Of course, the highlight was the safari - an unforgettable experience made even more special by our guide, Lucan. Without a doubt, he was the best guide in the reserve. His knowledge, passion, and ability to create memorable moments made this the standout highlight of our entire trip.”
Four Rosmead Boutique Guesthouse
“Great location with everything just a short ride away. The staff were helpful and accommodating, making our stay smooth and enjoyable.”
Avondrood Guest House
“Perfect location in the heart of Franschhoek, with everything easily accessible. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Carloff, in particular, was incredibly helpful, offering valuable advice, arranging a driver so we weren’t stranded after a late dinner, and even coordinating with a local dentist during a dental emergency. His attentiveness truly made a difference in our experience.”
Old Drift Lodge
“Fantastic location right in the heart of the wildlife - you'll even encounter animals right at the lodge! The staff were genuinely attentive to every guest’s needs and went out of their way to make our stay truly memorable.”
Staff Review
“Claire’s professional directness was incredibly helpful throughout the planning of this epic vacation. She truly understood what we were looking for and never tried to upsell us on experiences that didn’t align with our interests. Her recommendations were spot on - even as we chatted with locals and fellow travelers along the way, we often found ourselves feeling grateful for the thoughtful advice she had given us.”
