10 Day South Africa Itineraries

Zicasso's travel designer was extremely helpful in our trip planning process, giving us multiple suggestions for itineraries and price ranges. He listened to our ideas and shared his experiences to aid us in our final decisions. Communication during the preparation for our trip was amazing. We were very pleased with the five-star accommodations he recommended, the pace of the activities included, and the order of the destinations we visited.

We spent three days in Stellenbosch, three days in Cape Town, three days in Victoria Falls, and three days at the private game reserve in Sabi Sands. The accommodations, service, and scenery started out top-notch and seemed to get better as we went along.

First, the booking experience with Zicasso's trip coordinator was seamless. She was always very attentive, responsive, and prompt with her replies. She listened to our wants and delivered beyond our expectations. Even our guides commented that she chose well for us. I would highly recommend booking with her.

Our itinerary in South Africa was pure perfection. Everything from the accommodations to the timing was perfect. We cannot say enough great things about the safari in Sabi Sands and the lodge. The lodge in Franschhoek was exceptional and the one in Gansbaai was the ideal ending to our trip.

This was truly a trip of a lifetime for our family. I’m not sure how we will ever top this experience. Thank you to Zicasso for connecting us with our agent.

The trip was absolutely amazing – truly the trip of a lifetime. The accommodations were perfect for us – the Cape Town hotel with its proximity to the V&A Waterfront and the boutique guesthouse in Franschhoek, which was also within easy walking distance to restaurants and the wine tram. The safari lodge was incredible – the food, service, safari drives, and our very comfortable glamping tent. The other lodge was also very comfortable, with great customer service.  

Our tour guide in Cape Town was the best – very knowledgeable, accommodating, and personable – and truly worked to make our trip extra special. The foodie tour was great – the most food we have ever had on a trip – with nice variety and local selections. 

The transfers were without a glitch.  

We can't say enough to thank our travel agent and her agency for making this a perfect trip.

The trip was extraordinary, amazing, and perfect in every way! Every aspect of the trip Zicasso’s travel agent planned for us was perfectly executed.

Our drivers were punctual and professional.

The hotel in Cape Town was lovely and the staff were so attentive. The staff at the nature reserve made everyone feel like part of the family.

We saw the Big Five within the first two days there! Super-fun!

The Cessna Caravan flight between lodges enabled us to see the African savannah and bush from the air, which was so beautiful.

The lodge in Sabi Sand Game Reserve was elegant and the staff were so attentive, meeting our every need and anticipating our every wish!

We had some excellent surprises, such as a full breakfast in the bush.

Our trackers and our rangers were truly wonderful and knowledgeable, and made the experience delightful.

Other travelers at the lodges were so friendly.

It was a trip of a lifetime... though we may have to go back again!
