Amazing animal sightings

A perfect selection of three lodges, each with its own different atmosphere. All transfers worked entirely smoothly.

Cedarberg went the extra mile to sort out problems with the outgoing flight which BA messed up (twice), especially so since this all took place over the bank holiday weekend. We were even met at Johannesburg airport to be escorted the few yards to the airport hotel. We could not recommend Cedarberg highly enough.

Outstanding, seamless, holiday of a lifetime.

Trip to South Africa for whale watching, relaxation and animals, special commendation to Simbavati Hilltop Lodge for spectacular game viewing and luxurious accommodation. Then to Zimbabwe for Vic Falls a really peaceful just the right distance from Victoria Falls town so you had game drives on your door step and access to an unmissable trip into Chobe national park in Botswana.

Simply Epic Experience in Zimbabwe

We had the most memorable family holiday in a country where there is so much to offer. From safari drives, walks and river activities to amazing camp sites where everything is put on to make your stay comfortable, safe and enjoyable.

We had the most memorable family holiday in a country where there is so much to offer. From safari drives, walks and river activities to amazing camp sites where everything is put on to make your stay comfortable, safe and enjoyable. The people from Zimbabwe are so lovely, thoughtful and cannot do enough to give you an experience of a lifetime. They make sustainable tourism so evident from solar powered camps to filling water bottles for each person, fresh water at the camps from bore holes pumped up then filtered and uv treated and food made tasty always enough with so little wastage. Knowledge of the guides of local flora and fauna brought a greater understanding of how the natural world eco system interact. The itinerary drawn up by Ginny was good as she had incorporated everything we wanted to do as a family. The camps managed by African Bush Camps were so well managed especially with their customer service. People we met at the camps agreed with how good the people were in making your stay so welcomed. Nothing was too much hassle for them. Only regret was not extending my visit to the other African countries like Mozambique or Botswana. There is always next time...

Cedarberg listened to what we wanted and like magic delivered everything we had asked for... From the internal flights, to transfers to the various camps, to the different activities and not forgetting my vegetarian dietary req. We were spoilt! We didn't to worry about when, where and how, everything was planned so well. Thank you for an epic family holiday we shall not forget and now looking forward to discovering more of the other parts of Africa.

Cedarberg surpassed our expectations and created an amazing holiday. The level of service provided by Ginny was excellent as she designed an itinerary within our budget and provided helpful guidance along the way, drawing on Cedarberg’s deep experience and contacts. Our entire trip worked very smoothly and the organisation of the various parts was seamless. We would highly recommend Cedarberg Africa to others looking for a similarly well organised adventure.

Wonderful time in Malawi and Zambia

A safari in Malawi and Zambia. We had the most wonderful time. The accommodation and food were fantastic everywhere we stayed and the logistics were excellent. Our overall safari experience was brilliant and we are definitely planning to return to both Malawi and Zambia.
