"Just wanted you to know Giuliana and I are tickled with the Victorian Falls Hotel.  It is beautiful and staff are great.  The cruise was everything  you said it would be snd we saw many animals. Thank you for your careful planning."

- Resa (USA: May, 2026)

​

"I want to thank you so much for all the arrangements and thoughtful recommendations. Our trip was spectacular from start to finish. Everyone’s favourite part was the game park. We highly recommend Madikwe to your future customers! Tefo and his associate, Paseka, were both gems. And the hotel in Melrose Arch was perfect for our needs.

Thank you for making this a memorable experience for our family."

- Nina (Australia: April 2026)

"I bumped into Bob Deutsch at the shops and he told me he could not speak highly enough of you and the travel plans you have done for them. Bob sang your praises and said you have been unbelievable and have put in so much work and gone to so much trouble for them. He is incredibly grateful for all you have done and says you are amazing, and I just wanted you to know that."

- Martin (Australia: February 2026)

​

"Now that we have finally settled back into our home routine, Stephen and I  wanted to reach out to let you know what a wonderful trip we had.  Thank you so much for all of your input and advice. Everything worked out beautifully. There truly were no hiccups and it was as smooth as it could be.  All of the guides and drivers were excellent.  The hotel in Capetown was great and of course Plett was a dream. Both safari camps were wonderful. Let's keep in touch and we certainly will recommend you to all of our friends."

- Janie and Stephen (USA: December 2025)

​

"The trip was amazing. We loved Cape Town. Terence is an incredible guide, and a good match for us.  We saw and learned so much in the four days we had with him. The one day on our own was also terrific. Botswana was out of this world. We had a basic idea of what we were in for, but not really, and no matter who or how many people explained it to us, it was still beyond what we imagined.  Everything about it was wonderful. If I had to do it over again, I would change nothing.  In fact we are already talking about our next trip to Africa. 

Thank you again for your all your help in planning the perfect trip; your recommendations, counsel, advice, reassurances and attention to all the details."

- Dana (USA: October 2025)

"We just want to let you know that we had a stunning time at Old Drift!! The accommodation was fabulous (specially the plunge pool and bath on the deck overlooking the Zambezi), and the game rides, Vic Falls visit and river cruises were all so exciting and beautiful. 

Thank you so much for organising!"

- Myra and Julian (USA: October 2025)

 

"The trip was spectacular. Cape Town was beautiful and the hotel lovely,  pretty, in a great location and good customer service. The guide you organised for our sightseeing days was amazing. So much knowledge and such fun. Both lodges you chose were incredible and there was not one animal we did not see. Thank You for your help putting this wonderful vacation together."

- The Gladsteins (USA: August 2025)

 

Everything was wonderful in South Africa.

The lodge was beautiful, food delicious and great staff. The safaris were incredible.

I hope to return with my partner. I will definitely contact you if I do.

Thank you so very much for all your help. I cannot recommend your services highly enough

- Miranda (Australia: July 2025)

 

"I needed to come with time and care to thank you for this unforgettable and magical experience properly. Everything ran smoothly and I had one of the best weeks of my life. I've raved all about it to my colleagues who are heading the same way in the following days.

Thank you very much again for everything. You were spectacular."

- Janaína (Ireland: May 2025)

 

"The trip was marvellous and very well organised. 

Everything went like clockwork and was organised with military precision.

The accommodation at both places was terrific and beautiful. The staff at Old Drift and Chobe were outstanding and eager to please. Cape Town was exquisite.

Thank you so much for all your help. It was greatly appreciated."

- Martin (USA: February 2025)

 

Thank you for organising our wonderful holiday to Cape Town and the Western Cape. We really enjoyed all the places that you suggested with the great accommodation that you booked. The stand outs were Amina Lodge in Cape Town, the Kogelburg Nature Reserve and the Cedarberg. We would love to return to all of them again. Thank you also for your flexibility in finding accommodation that suited our tastes.

- Gregory and Alyson (UK: February 2025)

 

It's been a month since our trip to Africa and the memories keep swirling around in my brain. Some of them seem like a dream now, like I fell asleep and woke up in the craziest place I could imagine! All four of us had the most wonderful time in your beautiful country and have been telling everyone to  book a ticket right now and go. The accommodations were lovely, travel was easy, our guides were informative and we saw so many interesting and beautiful places. We are already thinking of when we can return and what to see next. 

- Johanna (USA: January 2025)

"Your suggestions were brilliant. We enjoyed every moment of our itinerary. Your country is fabulous! Look forward to visiting SA again.  Thank you so much."

- Debbie and Henning Borgstrom (Sweden: December 2024)

 

"We would just like to say that we had a fabulous time in Africa. Everything was top shelf from the housing, the food and especially the people. Thanks again for your excellent expertise and planning."

- Lynn and Sharon Osborne (USA: November 2024)​

​

"Thank you for checking in on us throughout our journey and making sure we never got lost once. We didn’t! Thank you."

- Brian Ross and family. (USA: October 2024)

 

"We will be back. You chose the right places for our little family and the arrangements were all on time and excellent. Third trip with you and we will be back again as soon as we can."

- Niall and Genevieve Coleman (UK: October 2024)

 

"We really do prefer travelling on our own, rather than with a tour group.  Your help made that safe and possible for us.  The right balance of personal guides and independence."

- Brad and Kathy Scheller (USA: September 2024)

​

"We loved our trip to  South Africa with Thandeka Africa.  Enthusiastic and professional. Sandra was always available, helpful and did the best to make our trip perfect. It was sophisticated travel with no pretension, exactly what we wanted. We hope to come back."

- The Robertsons (USA: July 2024)

 

"Most romantic honeymoon, Sandra found us lodges and boutique hotels that were unimaginably exquisite and good value.  Went the extra mile booking us dinners and arranging bubble baths with champagne.  Thank you, we will only travel with you."

- Anderson and Trevor (USA: July 2024)​
