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. 

Truly memorable! Thank you so much for organising!

Best wishes

Myra and Julian (USA)

 

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, including finding our lost bags on United!. So much knowledge and such fun. Safaris, what can I say, I will try forward you pics. 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

Everything was wonderful in South Africa.

The transfers all worked well.

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

Best wishes, Miranda (Australia)

 

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. THANK YOU so much for suggesting and organising everything. I've raved all about it to my colleagues who are heading the same way in the following days.

Is there anywhere I can leave you a review?

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

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.

From Martin (USA)

 

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.

We’re finally over our safari hangover. It was a wonderful trip, pretty much came off without a hitch. We managed to see the “Big 5” with the most enjoyed being the big cats, especially the leopards. They are magnificent animals. Attached is a description of Monica’s encounter with an elephant at Eagle Island lodge. We will be back to Botswana.

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...after they contact you for trip planning.  Thank you so much for every part of our trip. 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. We will stay in touch and hope to see you soon!

PS, We are all addicted to rugby now, haven't missed a game. Guess our timing was spot on!

 

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.

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. Terrance in Cape Town, Erin and Lesley in Sabi Sabi and Richard in Victoria Falls were all excellent and made the trip extra special. Thanks again for your excellent expertise and planning. I have already given your name to people at my gym who are interested in a similar trip. 💖

Lynn and Sharon Osborne (USA)

Just wanted to express my sincere appreciation for taking care of my friends. They have sent their praises of all the tours and guides and how you were just exceptional. Totally can't thank you and your staff at Thandeka enough.

Mary Bones. (USA)

 

We used you to plan our trip to South Africa in 2015 which was amazing!  Please plan our Namibian trip for us. We will go with your suggestions.

Cheers, Nancy. (USA)

 

Susan and I have loved our holiday so much. We hope we can take you out for dinner while we are in Cape Town.  John and Susan McKenzie. (Ireland)

 

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)

 

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)

 

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)

 

Sandra has a good eye for sniffing out gems. Highly recommend. Mandi Fine. (SA)

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)

 

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)

All our arrangements were perfect and we will highly recommend Thandeka Africa to friends and colleagues. Thank you, you did a fabulous job. The Cohen Family.

 

Thank you Thandeka Africa.  This was our third trip with you and it won't be the last. And I believe we are going back to Tswalu Lodge, or so the wife says :) Jonathan and Ros Schwartz (USA)

 

I wanted to thank you for the best ever holiday. We still can’t decide which place was the best, the mix of glam, culture and scenic drives was the highlight though. The places we stayed at were off the beaten track, cozy and we felt safe throughout. Siyabonga and Dan Jawitz (SA)
