Travel Review: Luxury Africa Honeymoon, South Africa, Sabi Sands Game Reserve, Cape Town, Stellenbosch Wine Tours, Local Cuisine

No Stone Left Unturned

Where do we begin?

Our agent has been by our side through every step of the way. She reassured us that our honeymoon would be tailored specifically to what we would want and love to do and it was! Our agent spent numerous hours on the phone with both of us listening to our concerns and excitement. She was swift with her responses, kept us up to date, made suggestions, and most importantly kept us in budget!

We met our second contact half way through our planning process. We were hesitant moving forward and leaving our original agent since we formed such a tight bond but from our first interaction with our second contact to our last she has been nothing but outstanding. She helped us with the payment process, the flight information, and picking out some of the best restaurants in Cape Town (goodness gracious, I think we gained 10 lbs. each ha). Knowing that she would be on the ground in Cape Town eased our minds as we approached our first trip to the motherland.

Our final contact did a spectacular job with running through our itinerary a few days before we departed. This phone conversation allowed us to ask our last minute questions, understand about tipping (who to tip, how much to tip, when to tip), etc. Another great member of the travel company's team.

Our travel company did a phenomenal job making us feel special on our honeymoon. Each of our accommodations were aware of our honeymoon where they surprised us with free bottles of wine/champagne, gave us complimentary massages, messages to the two us upon our arrival, presented with a self-made poster from the children of Khayelitsha Township and multiple intimate surprise dinners. During the course of our trip we felt like VIPs. Even though we were not told by our travel company, we absolutely could tell the company's touch was there and without them we would have never been able to make our honeymoon this special. We have and will continue to rave to our family & friends about how phenomenal this company made our experience. We can’t wait to work with them again for our next trip.
