Namibia - a country of astonishing contrasts

Our 17 day self drive tour of Namibia began in Okonjima - home of the Africat Foundation - a great way to start especially with cheetah walking within 6 feet of us whilst tracking them on foot with a ranger and crouching just feet away from Spotted Hyena. Two days later we headed north to Etosha and spent 2 days on either side of the pan before heading to Damaraland and the hidden gem of Mowani Mountain Camp. After 2 days here we headed to ...

Our 17 day self drive tour of Namibia began in Okonjima - home of the Africat Foundation - a great way to start especially with cheetah walking within 6 feet of us whilst tracking them on foot with a ranger and crouching just feet away from Spotted Hyena. Two days later we headed north to Etosha and spent 2 days on either side of the pan before heading to Damaraland and the hidden gem of Mowani Mountain Camp. After 2 days here we headed to Swakopmund for 3 days of fun. Quad biking, sand-boarding, horse riding, dolphin cruise and living desert tour all to be recommended. We then headed further south to Sossusvlei to the magnificent red sand dunes in the Namib-Naukluft Park. Climbing one of these dunes should be on everybody's list of things to do. Finally we headed east to the Kalahari before returning to Windhoek. A total journey of 2,731kms on what can only be described as straight, empty dirt tracks!

Wonderful South Africa

Our third visit to South Africa and as warm and welcoming as ever. Our main interest in returning is the Game Parks and we would recommend Dulini in Sabi Sands in particular. Cape Town and surrounding area is lovely and we finished at Umhlanga Rocks near Durban where it was great to relax before our long journey home.

Our perfect honeymoon

Cedarberg helped us organize our honeymoon trip to South Africa. They helped plan the perfect itinerary covering Captetown, winelands and the garden route. The hotel picks were excellent.

Cape Town, Garden Route and Safari

We had a two week holiday in South Africa with our three youngish children. This was tailor made for us by Peter from Cedarberg and all the accommodation was suggested by him as being family friendly. The holiday was put together very efficiently with my input when required, and Peter got us flights cheaper than we could find ourselves. The holiday was fantastic - we were given detailed driving instructions and really useful notes about what ...

We had a two week holiday in South Africa with our three youngish children. This was tailor made for us by Peter from Cedarberg and all the accommodation was suggested by him as being family friendly. The holiday was put together very efficiently with my input when required, and Peter got us flights cheaper than we could find ourselves. The holiday was fantastic - we were given detailed driving instructions and really useful notes about what things we could do in each location. There were agents in SA we could contact if needed, which felt reassuring although we didn't need to use them. The safari at the end was amazing - and it was great that Peter had chosen a reserve that allowed our 7 year old to come on the drives with us (many won't). I would highly recommend Cedarberg to anyone looking for a family holiday to Africa.

Tanzania in March

This was a three holiday and we went from Selous in the south through Ruaha up to the Serengeti. The lodges and camps we stayed in were all good value for money and the food was excellent. The staff were always friendly and helpful. Although they say that Tanzania is not so good at this season we found it excellent and there was plenty of wildlife to see including 3 leopards and 11 cheetah. The guides we had were all very knowledgeable about ...

The guides we had were all very knowledgeable about the wildlife of their areas and were happy ot answer questions and point out things we wuld have missed.

Cedarberg did a great job of arranging this holiday. They sent us plans and we changed what we did not like and added things we wanted to do. The holiday was well organised and there were no hitches along the way despite there being a number of flights, changes of accommodation and guides. The guide they organised for our last 10 days was especially good.

Very Special Safari

We have traveled with Cedarberg before, but this holiday was a celebration of 40 years Marriage so I wanted it to be Great, and it was. I had a good idea of what to do and where I wanted to go. Two safari's in different places one was in Makweti/Waterberg area and one in the Mala Mala Kruger Park, small hotels Luxury, self drive mainly on good roads. inbetween we went to the Drakensberg Mountains and the Tzaneen area we were away for 16nights...

We Stayed at the Makweti Safari Lodge in the Waterberg 5 rooms great attention to detail and fabalous food, next Kings Walden Garden Manor again great food rooms not as lovely but the bar was high, super food. Mala Mala in the Kruger Park a great experience all round saw every animal and lots of them, wonderful birds, we had our own Ranger Brendon who guided us through the bush and pointed us into the diningroom/bar nothing was too much trouble. Then the Drakensberg mountains we stayed at Highgrove house, it was quite but after the excitement of the safari, welcome. We toured around the area which was super and had great lunches out , and Dinners in. We finished out holiday at the wonderful again Fairlawns in Jo'burg highly recommended. We look forward to our next trip

Cederberg Travel our agent:- Peter, ( Although Everyone is familiar with Africa) Peter has the knowledge and had booked for us before, we had several conversations and a plan A then B by the time we got to Plan C I knew it was perfect. Being able to chat about what you hope to do and where you hope to go makes the whole thing a pleasure and exciting. He looked around for good deals and gave us price options. Once being unable to access the hotel, the gate on the drive was not working owning to a power failure. I called the office in the UK and spoke to Peter as the hotel phone line was unavailable, within five min's the gate opened and we drove the 2 miles and arrived to a cooling drink. Job well Done, Very personal service and that makes all the Difference
