Africa Collection Traveller Reviews

We had the most incredible 11-day trip to South Africa with Africa Collection. The itinerary put together took us along the Garden Route and had a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation, taking us to locations such as Cape Town, Plettenberg bay, Franschhoek and a safari! The safari was definitely the highlight for us - it was a breathtaking experience seeing such magnificent animals up close, and one I will never forget!

From the moment I contacted Africa Collection to plan the trip, their attention to detail and personalised planning were outstanding! Alex was incredibly helpful and sent us all the information we needed for each area we were in, including top tips, packing suggestions & restaurant recommendations. The service provided made the holiday all the more special and I want to thank Alex and the rest of the team at Africa Collection for making our holiday dreams come true!

James and his team were very easy to work with and answered all of our questions as we had never visited Africa before. He was flexible to give me options on hotels and to add a stop in our itinerary when we found something new. The Avis team of drivers were all fantastic - prompt, clean car, excellent conversationalists. Bushman's Kloof and Akademie Street Hotel in Franschhoek were incredible - don't miss them!

I think "Tour Operator" was James and team who set up our hotels, drivers, and an excursion. He was great!

We visited Kruger and Cape Town. Spent 6 nights in each location. Rissington Inn and Imbali Lodge in the Kruger and The Sir David Boutique Hotel in Cape Town. The hotels were exceptional, the trip was organised perfectly, plus the internal flights and transfers were smooth.

Africa Collection put the holiday together for us from start to finish including car hire. They were available on the phone on Saturday evening when our flight from London Heathrow was delayed and we knew we'd miss our connecting flight to The Kruger. They acted quickly and made alternative arrangements for us before we left London that night - taking away all the stress that initially caused. The accommodation and holiday itinerary was perfect for us as a family of four and we are so grateful for the memories.

Itinerary proposed by local travel agent and booked through African Collection whom we had no contact with. Tour operator made accommodation bookings only. We made our own travel arrangements.

Had a wonderful trip, everything went smoothly, car hire, hotels, tickets for the cricket etc. Most of our hotels we were lucky and got into our rooms early. Most of the hotels were of a high standard and better than expected.

Didn’t deal with them directly, as booked it through Travel Counsellors.

We visited Cape Town for 4 nights including an england cricket match at Newlands, then on to Franshhoeck for 3 nights, then Camps Bay for 4 nights and finally Durban for 3 nights again taking in a cricket match.

Africa Collection organised all the details of the holiday and it all went without a hitch.
