South Africa Honeymoon Packages

The safari tour company helped us design an incredible vacation. They did a wonderful job recommending things to do and places to go. We were in Cape Town for 5 nights, Stellenbosch for 2, Sabi Sabi for 4 and Plettenberg Bay for 2 days. Each place was more beautiful than the next. They were able to get us into Sabi Sabi at pretty late notice over the week before Easter. Sabi Sabi was wonderful. We were 10 people with 4 kids (3,5,6, and 8). We had our own vehicle and so the kids were able to go on all the Safari drives and we saw all big 5. The Elephun center at Sabi was beyond amazing and the kids fell in love with our driver Francois. In Cape Town, we stayed in Camps Bay which I would recommend to anyone and Clouds Estate probably has the most beautiful views in the Stellenbosch (the driver that the safari tour company helped arrange at the lost moment, said that the de Graff family that bought the property next door for its view and purchased the wrong property). Flying around SA was easy and even though our luggage missed a connection from Kruger to George (thru Johannesburg) - we got it delivered the next day with absolutely no problem.

We are fairly seasoned travellers, and did a lot of homework before planning this trip. Nothing really prepared us for how fabulous it would be.  I'd say it was the trip of a lifetime, except that we fully intend to go back.

From first contact to last, this travel agency was a pleasure to deal with.  They were responsive to our ideas about what we wanted to do and see, and put together several itineraries which also included many suggestions that we had not thought of. 

Ours was a private 3 week tour, beginning in Durban, then to the Sabi Sands game reserve (where we stayed at the Londolozi Founders Camp).  We took the Blue Train from Pretoria to Cape Town where we stayed a few days at the very lovely Cape Grace Hotel, and spent 3 wonderful days at the a wine estate near Stellenbosch.

Our travel agency arranged all of our transportation and excursions.  Everything went like clockwork:  all of our guides or transports were right on time, and without exception they were extremely pleasant and knowledgeable people.  We learned a lot about the country from each of them.

South Africa is a long way from Canada.  What made us feel very secure was that we had the personal cell phone number of our agent and knew that we could call her at any hour if something went awry.

The very best thing is that we never had to call!

I would recommend this tour company highly, and would definitely use them again,

Our agent was friendly, knowledgable, responsive and worked hard to put together a great trip that did not blow our budget. The trip was incredible. We started with 3 nights in Victoria Falls Zimbabwe at a lodge that provided 5 star service and accomodations. The game drives there were a bit more tame than our later safari activity at Sabi Sands but we saw lots of elephants, Zebra, Giraffe and even a lion. Every transfer was arranged and if anything could have been upgraded perhaps it was in this area though the transfers were private and vehicles adequate. 

Our next stop was Sabi Sands reserve where we stayed at Savanah lodge. They were terrific in every way. The guides and trackers were top notch. We saw all of the big five as well as wild dogs and other animals. Great food and room as well as personal touches made this place special and overall a great value and choice among the many options. 

We flew to Capetown where we started at an elegant old world hotel on the waterfront, great choice. Trips to the cape point and wine country were very nice. If we were to change our itinerary at all it would have been to stay one less night in Capetown and stay one night in wine country on our way to the next stop which was at Grootbos a world class high end resort on the whale coast. Terrific high end cuisine, wonderful private suites and incredible views were the highlights and a great way to finish our trip. 

Thanks to our agent for making our vacation the best one yet!!
