"Great trip to South Africa"
I visited South Africa between 7 Oct 2017 and 21 Oct 2017
"- we had an amazing time
- saw lots of animals and wild life - safari, whales, penguins
- we had a lot of weather too - fire in Cape Town, snow just outside Cape Town, fog and rain in Kwandwe & Plett, stromy winds in Hermanus, but we also had some sunny days
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
- we like to book with specialist companies, travel agents that are specialist in a region or country
- we very much enjoyed our face to face meeting with Tracy and she put a very nice trip together
- we missed a bit the option of having a day planned out at Plettenberg or Cape Town for example, but we got all the information so that we can plan our days" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 11 on a South Africa trip

The hotels were all very good, the people are lovely and so pleasant. Getting around was very easy.

"My Feb 2017 trip"
I visited South Africa between 8 Feb 2017 and 1 Mar 2017
"Once again, Tracy came up trumps! We had been spoiled on our previous trip, to Zambia and Namibia, and weren't expecting to be quite so blown away this time - but we were, thanks to the sheer variety of the package that Tracy put together for us. From our safari experience at Kwandwe, to the opulence of the Vineyard Hotel in Cape Town, we were stunned by the quality of accommodation and service we encountered throughout our trip. Thank you so much, Tracy!
We loved South Africa, and very much look forward to returning there in the near future.

"Trip of a lifetime"
I visited South Africa between 1 Apr 2016 and 14 Apr 2016
"Overall we had an amazing trip, such a shame that the Larids lodge didnt live up to the standard of the rest of the trip.
Our agent Claire who we booked the trip through was SO helpful and couldn’t have done more. Her advice was invaluable and very worthwhile." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 11 on a South Africa trip

I visited South Africa between 4 Mar 2016 and 15 Mar 2016

Our remit was flora and landscape which we got brilliantly, but we never expected such luxury and fine dining. Many thanks for all you have done to make our short stay so wonderful and memorable.

"Valentine's at the cricket!"
I visited South Africa between 30 Jan 2016 and 17 Feb 2016
"Having visited South Africa briefly on several occasions we decided to make it our focus this time. The weather was good, though very, very hot at Kwandwe.
We had a good range of accommodation and the exchange rate meant that everything was extremely good value once we got there. We'd chosen our own accommodation at Oudtshoorn which we suggest Expert Africa look at for future travellers.
Cape Town was, as always, lovely!
Already booked to go back next year!" Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 17 on a South Africa trip
