Travel Review: 7-night Luxury Trip to South Africa, Cape Town, Kruger National Park, Robben Island, Safari, Parasailing, Cable Car

Trip of a lifetime. We have been working with Zicasso since early 2019 to plan our trip to South Africa, originally scheduled for Summer 2020. The COVID pandemic postponed our trip to Summer 2021 and the wait was well worth it. Our trip planners demonstrated extreme patience and flexibility in answering all our questions leading up to our trip, as well as addressing any and all challenges posed due to the dynamic nature of the pandemic. The first half of our trip was in Cape Town. Our housing and guide were both amazing. Particularly memorable was the substitutions of a trip to Robben Island (cancelled due to all museums being closed in response to the pandemic) with a former Robben Island prison guard (Cristo Brand) of Nelson Mandela's that spent 90 minutes with us at our hotel talking about Mr. Mandela, the experiences of Robben Island, and their friendship following Mandela's prison release. Extremely powerful. The second half of our trip was spent on safari at Kruger National Park. Words can't express how amazing our time was on safari. From our accommodations, food, staff, and the amazing animals, our expectations were blown away. Zicasso has been our go-to for international travel for our last four trips (Italy, Turkey, Japan, South Africa) and they have never disappointed.
