Southern Africa Travel Agents & Reviews

We had two couples based in the USA traveling together to South Africa. There were so many options of things to do and places to stay that we were overwhelmed. It started with a quick email and Tara responded immediately with an offer to help plan our trip. We must have gone back and forth with questions and plan modifications dozens of times. In the end, Tara managed to arrange the perfect vacation for all of us.Tara recommended Cape Town, the safari resorts near Kruger and then sent both couples to different resorts. We wanted scenery so we traveled to the hotel in White River area and our friends wanted Sun City. When flying back to the states - all 4 people decided that this was the perfect trip to South Africa for each of us and Tara made that happen. 

Neil did an awesome job curating our 2-week trip. He helped us to minimize the travel time from Cape Town to our camp in Botswana (and onward to Zimbabwe and then back into Kruger Park area in SA).  Saw all the big animals in both Botswana and SA ... guides at "and Beyond" in Okavango Delta and in the game reserve in Sabi Sand respectfully were outstanding!

Natalie at our travel agency orchestrated an amazing family holiday for us which included a stay at a lodge near Kruger National Park and a hotel in Cape Town. It was designed to balance our adult daughters' needs for sunbathing and my desire to be on African Safari the entire trip. And I would say Natalie nailed it. Moroever, this trip started during the time of Covid, so I believe it was postponed not once but twice. Natalie diligently canceled and rescheduled flights. She advised us on when to buy tickets and worked to balance getting us the tickets we needed with the best price. She was attentive, listened, and delivered. I'd use her again if we return to South Africa. 

Our honeymoon trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar was nothing short of the best trip of my entire life. Everything about this trip was spectacular and our travel company was very helpful throughout the process. We were helped by Andre. Not only was he very helpful and enthusiastic, but he also was very responsive, especially for two people who were very stressed in the middle of wedding planning. He never waited for more than 24 hours to respond, which is fairly quick. I did not have to call him at all throughout our whole trip because it was very well planned and all the information necessary was provided prior to us going. Since I have been back, I have not stopped talking about using Zicasso to plan trips and I also have not stopped talking about going on a safari. Overall, if you have the money to spend and are off from work in early February....GO TO THE SERENGETI! It's a once in a lifetime experience. Our private driver was absolutely amazing! So experienced and he took care of us very well.Zanzibar was amazing! We stayed at a resort (probably the best resort on the island). We were in paradise! Food was great in Tanzania and Zanzibar!Again, best trip of our lives!

Our first Safari trip to South Africa fulfiled all of our dreams and expectations and then some. We had the trip of a lifetime and most of the credit goes to the travel team. From helping with the initial planning to making last minute changes they were fabulous. We were always made to feel very comfortable, from meeting us at every airport to assist with transport to reschedualing side trips to better meet our needs the travel team was on top of it all. We would not have had as good a trip as we did with out there help and guidence.  

My now wife and I took our honeymoon trip to South Africa. We used Cearl at the travel company and she was absolutely incredible. From the very first conversation she was super attentive and really considered all of our needs and budget. We wanted the trip of a life time and she made that happen. Cearl carefully planned our itinerary, listening to all our wants, and formulated a trip specifically tailored to us. Further, Cearl went above and beyond to ensure fair prices as well as safe and reliable tours and transfers for the entire trip. Every aspect of the trip was planned out for us and we really just needed to show up. Cearl has vast experience with the southern Africa area and even has perfect guides and transfer partners to show you the best time. I highly recommend this travel company for any trip to South Africa or that general area and you will not be disappointed. My wife and I are big travelers and had very high expectations for a luxurious honeymoon to the Sabi Sands reserve, Cape Town, and the wine country, and all of these were exceeded.

If you are considering an outfitter to plan a trip to Africa, I cannot express strongly enough how much you should consider this travel agency!  I just returned from a 2-week “trip of a lifetime” safari that was originally scheduled to start one-week before the global lockdown.  My travel planner had created the most incredible trip to Tanzania to see the Serengeti and then to Rwanda to see the mountain gorillas. I was not sure how they would be able to handle the lock-down given the unknowns of travel for an unknown period of time.  The long-term nature of this travel company's relationships with their vendors coupled with the professionalism and integrity of their company resulted in the trip being rescheduled (a few times) without really any increase in costs and at the same exceptional accommodations and itinerary. The camps I stayed at were exquisite (5 star) and gave me such a personal feel of different ways to experience the Serengeti.  The personal guides in both Tanzania and Rwanda were beyond my expectations in their knowledge, passion, and dedication to supporting an exceptional client experience. Additionally, this travel company demonstrated at every step of the trip their personal commitment to ensure I felt safe and secure (given Covid concerns/requirements and unfamiliarity with the countries), and supported 24/7 with every question, no matter how small or large.   I hope to return to Africa again… and I would ONLY use this travel company.  Please consider them… and just give them a call.  From the very first contact, I knew this was the company with whom I wanted to build my trip of a lifetime adventure.  

The travel agency knocked this one out of the universe! This was our first trip to South Africa, and we had high expectations for our journey. On every turn, our expectations were exceeded with the highest quality, professionalism, and efficiency. Every need was anticipated that we hadn’t even considered. On the few occasions where we encountered difficulties, we reached out to our primary contact, and she responded out of nowhere with a steady solution each time, day or night. Our accommodations were plush and comfortable, the hotel staff we encountered were friendly and supportive, the transportation service was deluxe and reliable, and the airport handlers were helpful and efficient. The food and beverage service was top notch. We lacked for nothing. We felt like royalty throughout our travels to four destinations. We asked for a high-end experience, and that’s exactly what we received: luxurious accommodations, superior service, extraordinary amenities. No one does it better than this travel company! Danni and the team ROCK!!
