I just wanted to write and say that we had a fantastic time on our honeymoon we couldn’t have asked for nicer places to stay or nicer people looking after us. Thank you so much for sorting it all out! I will recommend you highly to my friends… Suzanne & Trevor Johnston, Ireland
Bazaruto Archipelago, Madikwe game reserve, Blue Train & Cape Town



We had an EXCELLENT time and the arrangements were all spot on: the route directions were much appreciated (especially by Jamie, who was promoted to navigator!) and made life very easy !! So, thank you very much again and - in the nicest possible sense - it was great to meet you at the airport then not see you again !! Ted Cooper – UK
Cape Town, Hermanus, Oudtshoorn & game reserve – Self-Drive.




I have to say yes our holiday was fantastic and wonderful and I so much want to do this again. I can't find anything to say that did not suit us, we could not ask for anything more, it was one of my magic holidays. Most of all it was great to have someone like you who knew what to do for us, the country is so beautiful and there is still so much to see. I hope I’ll make it back again - if only all holidays were this easy to do. Jacqueline Carter, Ireland
Game Reserve, Garden Route & Cape Town – Self-Drive.




The organisation of the holiday (communication, advice, documents) was all most efficiently done. The tour itself was excellent. The guide, Mike Waldron was excellent, helpful, informative and he did all the driving… and the accommodation was first class. Michael Heslop, UK
Namibia in Style – Scheduled Guided Tour




Once again, thank you so much for your superb organisation - everything went like the proverbial wedding bell and could not have been better. June and I cannot thank you enough for all your kindness, thoughtfulness and superb efficiency. Harry and June Hodgson, Ireland
Swaziland & the Bazaruto Archipelago – Fly In




The honeymoon was absolutely fantastic. Everything was even better than we had expected. Everywhere we went the rooms and service really were top-class - it was such a come-down when we arrived back in Dublin and I realised I would have to actually carry my own suitcase! I'll be in contact with you whenever we do decide to return - you can count on that. Lochlann O’Connor, Ireland
Escarpment, Kruger, Cape & Hermanus – Self-Drive




Got back to Dublin yesterday and can't believe it's all over, thank you so much for all your help in organising the trip for us, we've had an unforgettable honeymoon. Ger and Kevin O’Brien, Ireland
Garden Route, game reserve & Victoria Falls – Fly In / Self-Drive

We had a really really super holiday - so much so that we are definitely going to be going back every couple of years. We both feel that the trip was so well organised and that really helped us to make the most of it. We had no difficulty finding any of the towns or accommodation. All the advance planning and the multitude of e-mail correspondence really paid off and you helped us to have the trip of a lifetime." Nicola & David Lewis, Ireland
Cape Town and Garden Route – self drive
Durban to Johannesburg – scheduled guided tour




You have ruined our lives. How can we expect to settle back into work in London after the fantastic 3 weeks we have just spent in SA?" Denise & Roger Brownlie, UK
Cape Town, Garden Route, game reserve & Bazaruto Archipelago – self drive/fly in




"Just a quick note to say thanks for all your efforts in making our recent trip to SA such an enjoyable experience. We didn't have a single problem throughout the trip and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. The standard of the accommodation was consistently excellent and even our bizarre dietary requirements were handled well!" Ian Stokes, UK
Cape Town, Garden Route & game reserve – self drive.




"They often say in business that unhappy customers go out and spread their bad tails but happy customer rarely do, so I can't give any better recommendation to your excellent service than to say that I have already recommended you to all our friends when we got home! Thanks again for all your hard work in making it a great honeymoon for Imelda and I." Aidan Corcoran, Ireland
Kruger Park, Escarpment, Swaziland, Sodwana Bay, Cape Town, Hermanus & Winelands – self drive




"Be assured we had a great time and will definitely pass your details on to anyone who asks and recommend you highly. Again thanks for the attention to detail and for doing that extra bit that makes a holiday great rather than good." Ann-Marie and Maurice McCabe, Ireland



"Un grand merci pour toute l'organisation. Le Mozambique est superbe et le peu qu'on en a vu nous a donné envie d'y passer plus longtemps. Le lodge était très confortable avec un service impeccable. Bref ce voyage fut genial et a depassé nos attentes. Bravo pour cette organisation, encore merci ..." Arnaud & Cecile Girard, France
Escarpment, Kruger, Cape Town & Bazaruto Archipelago – Fly In / Self-Drive




"We had such an amazing time and we are very taken with South Africa. We will definitely be back. Everything went like clockwork, your directions were really easy to follow. We were particularly impressed with our driver - Susan - from Jo'burg to Pilannesburg, she was full of information on the area and made the journey very memorable. We will contact you for our next trip!" Ciara & Tom Ryan, Ireland
Cape Town, Garden Route, Pilanesburg, Victoria Falls – self drive/fly in




"Le retour à la vie civilisée a été difficile. Nous sommes tous les 4 enchantés de notre voyage qui s'est très bien passé sur tous les plans... nous avons eu de la chance d'avoir un tel guide, pour sa personnalité, son bon équilibre entre rigueur et souplesse, sa compétence professionnelle (dont son coup d'oeil pour repérer au loin un animal). J'espère que nous aurons l'occasion de refaire un tel voyage, en Afrique du Sud ou ailleurs (Namibie ?) Merci encore pour tout." La famille Chantrel, France
Johannesburg to Durban – Private Guided Tour




"We really cannot fault any aspect of the holiday. It really exceeded all our expectations. The organisation was perfect and we felt the itinerary was excellent. We stayed just the right amount of time in each location. Thank you very much for organising the holiday of a lifetime." Susan and Paul Brown, Ireland



"Grand houses, modest houses, large houses, small houses, comfortable houses, lived in houses, atmospheric houses, family houses, old houses, not so new houses…oh, Nini! What a lot of houses, as Evelyn Waugh might have said to our incomparable guide, Nini Cloete. Not only houses, but gardens to delight, hotels to stay in forever, food for mind, body and soul, a climate to envy. This was, and is, South Africa.


... We were most hospitably received and generously refreshed at appropriate times by all our hosts, and our inadequate thanks are due to each of them for making possible a truly memorable and hugely enjoyable tour of their country. Owners of private houses deserve especial thanks for indulging natural curiosity in allowing us to roam unhindered through their properties."
