Garrick and the travel agency made our trip truly unforgettable! From initial planning through the trip itself, Garrick ensured that we got the exact experience we wanted, and more! The insight into activities, restaurants and options helped guide our decisions; since we had never been to South Africa before. Garrick took all of our requests and put together an amazing 2 week itinerary; even adding last minute activities like golf and dinner reservations! Our trip was even more enjoyable because we were able to be in contact with Garrick for questions etc. Even better, we were able to meet up Garrick in person during our trip for a round of golf; an experience we will never forget! We would absolutely recommend Garrick and the travel company to anyone looking to book an unforgettable trip to Southern Africa! We also LOVE that they focus on companies and operators that share their commitement to conservation and giving back to communities and the environment.

Jamie and Garrick were terrific in proposing a perfect 2 week itinerary that fulfilled all our criteria. They then followed through during 2 years of Covid-19 postponements and rebookings, all of which worked perfectly. We placed our complete trust in them to pick the specific safari lodges, hotels, and travel arrangements. Everything worked out perfectly and seamlessly. All of their choices turned out to be top notch. We couldn't be happier!

The trip planners at this tour company were wonderful to work with and planned an amazing adventure for us (4 nights in the tented camp, 2 nights in Victoria Falls, 2 nights near Hermanus). It was a great choice to work with travel agents from South Africa who were very familiar with the experiences, lodges, etc, that they plan for their clients. Our trip planner was readily available by email and by phone. It was helpful to talk with him over the phone to get more details about travel in South Africa. He was very responsive to our questions, worked within our budget and found the BEST possible places in our budget. We also had him arrange all of our transfers from airport to hotel, or hotel to tour, etc, which was incredibly helpful. I would recommend that to anyone - it gave us peace of mind that someone would always be there to meet us when we got off a plane or need to get to the airport. We didn't have to think about much besides just enjoying ourselves. And all the folks from the transfer and tour companies that the planner arranged were on time, friendly, informative, funny. Our trip planner also arranged our flights for us, booking solely on South African airlines. After our experiences in airports, we understood why. All of our flights were great, on time, with wonderful service. Whereas we saw other airlines with long delays, long lines, etc.Once we arrived in South Africa, we wanted to make a few last minute changes to our itinerary and the planner was able to make the changes for us without any problems. He even met us for a glass of wine in Johannesburg and it was lovely to meet him in person. He was able to give us more advice on traveling around South Africa. Our planner has traveled to many of the places he arranged for us and he took the time to understand how we like to travel and made sure that everything was a perfect fit. It really was a perfect trip.
