Cedarberg Africa Traveller Reviews

Victoria Falls Zimbabwe exceeded expectations in a big way. Despite the negative publicity the country sometimes receives, we found the people and the facilities to be exceptional. The accommodation was excellent (I witnessed a crocodile take an impala at the waterhole below the hotel…when having a quiet moment and a coffee…!?!) and we’d definitely consider staying in the main hotel (Victoria Falls Safari Lodge) should we return in the future. The canoe safari and the zipline activities were the group favourites (all 8 of us did the gorge swing, even our 12 year old daughter – thrilling but truly scary). The food throughout was excellent. The Lookout Café was memorable. Wild Horizons were very efficient and the guides/drivers were always helpful and friendly. Credit cards were accepted in the hotel, in most restaurants, and by Wild Horizons. Kasane The abundance of wildlife in Chobe NP is exceptional. However, the abundance of tourists in Kasane was also exceptional and made for a bit of a ‘Longleat’ atmosphere. The Safari Rooms in Chobe Safari Lodge were excellent. The boat safari and game drive, however, were too staged and too busy (8 safari vehicles crowded around one lion) to be properly enjoyable. We changed the second boat safari to a fishing trip and a Namibian Village Walk, which were much more enjoyable. The food in Chobe Safari Lodge was mediocre. The housekeeping, reception desk, and activity office staff were all excellent. Okavango Delta The inevitable highlight. The region lived up to its reputation (on the first morning, we watched three lions track a herd of buffalo for maybe an hour, before witnessing the kill from only 20m!). The safari crew were awesome: outstanding guide who really knew his stuff; really friendly, helpful camp crew; lots of energy from everyone; great & plentiful food; plentiful drinks; reliable and good size safari vehicle; comfy & warm beds; tents were clean and well equipped; nightly hot water bottles (bush babies) were a nice touch. Air Transport Both Air Botswana and South African Airlines were excellent: all flights departed and arrived on time; luggage was booked through both directions; Maun and Kasane aiports were very professional; the Jo’burg to Heathrow leg was on a brand new airbus.

Cedarberg Africa were professional, responsive, and personable at all times. All flights, all transfers, all accommodation, all activities, and the safari itself went exactly to plan. The experience, end-to-end, exceeded all expectations.

This trip to Zimbabwe exceeded out expectations and brochure photos cannot do it justice, what a wonderful destination. Above all we loved the people, their huge welcome and smiley natures. Their desire to please and their wish that every thing be perfect does come true.

Cedarberg Africa understood our unique requirements from our first conversation. At all times I felt confident that they had covered every eventuality and that it would all be a huge success. It was. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

This is the second holiday that Ginny and her team have arranged for us, and once again the service and attention to detail were excellent. Ginny put together a wonderful tailor made itinerary for our trip, and her recommendations were absolutely perfect in enhancing the trip. In today's world of being able to arrange most things yourself, I have no doubt that there is no way we could have put together a trip like this, you need the depth of local knowledge that Cedarberg have. I thoroughly recommend Cedarberg Travel The Close Up Chimp experience in Entebbe, at the UWEC, was worth every one of the vaccinations you had to have. It truly was a magical experience, and another reason for booking through Cedarberg who suggested this 'excursion'. We met so many people on our trip who would have loved the experience but their travel operator had not told them about it. There are no words to describe the gorilla trekking, it was toughish - but it was a once in a lifetime experience that we feel privileged to have taken part in.

We booked a special trip to celebrate and we went to 4 safari camps in Botswana, and 2 hotels in Cape Town. The holiday was very diverse, as we had requested, and the game viewing and camps were excellent., as the saying goes, exactly what it said on the tin!! Thank you to Ginny and her team for organising such a great trip.

Ginny and her team at Cedarberg organised us a brilliant trip, all connections seamless and accomadation as expected, also excellent.

A two-stage trip that took in Cape Town for 4 nights and 3 nights in the Amakhala Game Reserve staying at the Hlosi Lodge. Flying into Cape Town and out via Jo'burg.

Cedarberg created a bespoke holiday that well-suited our requirements and was executed in a professional and competent manner. All arrangements went perfectly.

The island of La Digue was exceptional and we thoroughly enjoyed our 4 days there. The whole experience at La Domaine and Kempinski at Mahe was truly memorable.

Very well organised, friendly and helpful

Places visited and the standard of accommodation was faultless

First class

Garden Route from Capetown via Sanbona Game Reserve then on to Wilderness and De Kelders then back to Constantia. Fabulous food everywhere and great value with good exchange rate for UK residents. Excellent wine tasting at numerous wine estates around Franshooek and Constantia.Easy driving on well made roads with good directions but few distances on road signs.Very helpful people pretty much everywhere, just take normal precautions when out and about. I always felt safe but then I didn't venture to far from the main tourist areas.

Very helpful, they provided a comprehensive guide with directions and ideas of what to do on the route and at the places we stayed.

Amazing holiday driving the garden route, it's thr 2nd time we've done it and loved it.

Cedarberg Africa travel are fantastic. 4th time we have used them and can't fault them.

A combination of culture,adventure and activity.

Very knowledgeable friendly and supportive. Provided exactly the level of assistance we required and transferred our initial plans into a comprehensive package with useful local information and back-up in case of emergencies.
