Holiday to South Africa
Chloe Georgaklis, 8th December 2024There aren't quite enough words to explain how amazing our trip was! This was our first mother/daughter trip abroad and it was so special. Everything went perfectly, and as smoothly as it could have gone. Having everything planned out with transportation, etc just made it such a relaxing journey. Every single person we met was so nice and made us feel at home. Every lodge/hotel was top notch and every transportation was met on time. South Africa officially has a very special place in our hearts, we are actually addicted and cannot wait to come back! We already recommended Mahlatini to three other people/families because everyone should experience the magic we did!

Accommodation Visited
OR Tambo City Lodge
“Having the hotel close by was ideal, was perfect for what we needed. Very clean.”
Shumbalala Game Lodge
“Shumbalala Lodge is too special of a place to only go once. The lodging and amenities were beautiful & elegant (safari elegant is what I've been calling it). The staff felt like family by the end, from the servers to the kitchen and maid staff, everyone was so nice. Every morning we were excited to see Joanna, Jaques and Sam who truly made our trip that much more special. We cannot wait to come back with more family! Also, wasn't expecting the food to be SO GOOD. I'm still dreaming about the caramel apple crumble.”
The Clarendon Bantry Bay
“Clarendon Bantry Bay is quite the spot with a view! Our room was spectacular, much bigger than we anticipated, and the view was breathtaking. Again, the staff and security were so nice and helpful, we couldn't wait to get back to the hotel each day. It made our first Cape Town visit unforgettable.”
The Last Word Franschhoek
“It's hard to pick our FAVORITE stay after the safari, but this came close. The Last Word is decorated so perfectly that it feels like home. Again, the staff was so helpful and nice, everyone is just always in a good mood! The food is amazing and it's in a perfect central location but still quiet. We couldn't decide which room we liked better across the three stays. All of them were perfect.”
Staff Review
“Ralph did an amazing job and so did the wider team! Everything went without a hitch, there were a lot of logistics and we could tell a lot of thought and effort went into planning our trip. He was always responsive and organized. We particularly wanted to call out the transportation company used in Cape Town, our driver Joanne (not much time has passed but I think that was her name!). She is such an amazing tour guide!!”
