MATCH WITH A TRAVEL EXPERT
We believe the best travel experiences begin with a conversation. Within 24 hours of receiving your enquiry, we’ll match you with a Mahlatini specialist—a dedicated expert chosen to match your travel brief. (Please allow up to 48 hours over weekends.) Before we design your bespoke itinerary, we’ll take the time to get to know you and your travel aspirations. Our team is dedicated to crafting journeys that reflect our B Corp™ values. Every trip you take with us contributes to the protection of the extraordinary destinations you visit, ensuring your adventure is both unforgettable and responsible.
LET US INSPIRE YOU
Your dedicated travel expert will craft a dream adventure that meets your wildest expectations. The majority of our trips include international travel, all transfers and ground arrangements, with most safari stays fully-inclusive. You’ll receive your itinerary as an interactive, digital portal with lots of information, imagery and videos showcasing the exciting destinations and luxury properties we’ve selected for you. You’ll also find a day-by-day plan, routings and accurate quotes in your chosen currency. Often, there will be more than one trip idea offering different experiences, based on the best use of your time and budget.
REFINING THE DETAILS
We’ll take our time perfecting your itinerary. Our team is impartial, not driven by commission and will only design trips that match your travel wishlist perfectly. Your itinerary suggestions will also offer upgraded accommodation options for each portion of the trip for you to consider. Naturally, we will ensure any available discounts and complimentary experiences (often exclusive to Mahlatini) are incorporated. Once you’ve had time to review our proposals, we’ll discuss it a little more, refining your plans until we’re satisfied that you’re 100% satisfied with your custom adventure.
COMPLETE THE PAPERWORK
To finalize reservations on your behalf, we’ll send you a booking form for completion and ask you to pay a deposit (usually 20%). Any changes or cancellation requests will be subject to our standard T&Cs. In the unlikely event that we have to change something on your itinerary, we will work to secure alternative arrangements (in consultation with you). Remember, Mahlatini is fully bonded and accredited with the key industry bodies and we offer a 100% Financial Protection promise.
THE FINISHING TOUCHES
Once your trip is booked, your travel expert will provide detailed, current advice on entry requirements (visas, vaccinations, etc.). We’ll stay in touch leading up to your trip, offering guidance through everything from ‘Destination Guides,’ and ‘Packing for Safari,’ to updates on Mahlatini’s conservation charity partnerships and responsible tourism. Before you depart, we’ll conduct a pre-departure checklist call, and while you travel, we're here for you 24/7 through our emergency phone line.
