Excellent holiday in Southern Africa.

It was an introductory trip based around Cape Town, Sabi Sands game reserve and the Victoria Falls staying in extremely comfortable accommodation.

Brilliant Trip

Family trip with 4 nights in Cape Town, 2 nights Hermanus, 2 nights Franschhoek followed by safari across 2 locations, Sabi Sands and Timbavati. All the locations, pace of trip and quality of accommodation were excellent. Everything went very smoothly and immensely enjoyable!

Ginny's advice was superb, the itinerary and accommodation choices were excellent. We'd have never put together such a great trip on our own!

Thanks Matt. I'm glad it lived up to your expectations!

Amazing, just indescribably amazing.

This was our fourth visit to Africa, and the third time using Cedarberg Travel. Cannot say enough about the great personal service provided by this group! Every arrangement, every detail transpired with no issues, delays, or cancellations. The entire months-long process of working with Cedarberg to fine-tune our itinerary was so pleasant.

This was our fourth visit to Africa, and the third time using Cedarberg Travel. Cannot say enough about the great personal service provided by this group! Every arrangement, every detail transpired with no issues, delays, or cancellations. The entire months-long process of working with Cedarberg to fine-tune our itinerary was so pleasant. We have travelled with my brother and sister-in-law on each of our last three visits to Africa. On this most recent trip, we experienced 8 nights of mobile tented camping in Botswana -- the true bush experience! Wonderful experience, with a great guide and staff who spoiled us! Following Botswana, we spent 4 nights at each of three camps in South Africa -- Shindzela Bush Camp, Notten's Bush Camp, and White Elephant Camp. We experienced good animal sitings, excellent food, and friendly staff. The service at Notten's Bush Camp was particularly outstanding. Every detail to the smallest was arranged expertly by Cedarberg, and we never had to worry about a thing. Our agent at Cedarberg, Milandi, even checked us in for each of our flight, knowing that we would not be able to do so easily. Cannot recommend Cedarberg Travel highly enough.

Rating for tour operator:

Milandi Joubert is absolutely fabulous! We have worked with her in arranging our last three safaris to Africa, and cannot say enough good things about her. She is knowledgeable and honest -- knowing our preferences, she will give her honest opinion as to whether she thinks a camp or activity would be a good fit. She is extremely kind, personable, friendly, and obviously enjoys and cares about customers and the service she provides to them. She is extremely responsive whether it be e-mail or phone. Absolutely delightful to work with!! Each of our experiences with her have been amazing!

Ginny here: its so lovely to hear you agree with us. We've loved working with her since Day One! Thank you for saying it so nicely for me.

Excellent Safari and Garden coast tour

Cedarberg holidays, took our rough itinerary and produced a wonderful bespoke tour, the highlight being a fantastic lodge and game viewing experience at Kichaka lodge and game park.

Rating for tour operator:

Cedarberg did a really good job of turning our rough itinerary into a bespoke tour and their local knowledge and expertise, meant we stayed at excellent locations and had all the information we needed to get the best experiences from the holiday. Would highly recommend.

We really like Kichaka as well, always good guiding there. So pleased it did not disappoint.

A superlative experience of Namibia

Namibia is a huge country with masses of variety so we are really glad that we went to experts who knew the place well and could advise us on our options. We used a mixture of self-drive car hire and small-plane flights to get around and enjoyed not having to drive everywhere on gravel roads. Luckily we had no punctures but met several people who had had several. We have seldom come home with so many excellent photos and extraordinary memories...

Luckily we had no punctures but met several people who had had several. We have seldom come home with so many excellent photos and extraordinary memories. We loved climbing and sliding down the dunes at Sossusvlei, also the seal colony at Cape Cross and game viewing at Etosha.

Preplanning advice was very helpful and pointed us to consider great alternative options - the seamless efficiency of the transfers to superb accommodation with no hiccups or delays was amazing. Cedarberg delivered us a wonderful trip which all led to a very special holiday.

Great multicentre tour of the Western Cape.

Myself and my wife stayed 4 nights in Cape Town. We then picked up a car and went on a multi-centre self-drive holiday around the Western Cape. We stayed in Franschoek (3 nights), Hermanus (2 nts), Knysna (3 nts) and Fancourt (3 nts). We then flew from George back to Cape Town and onward to the UK. We played 4 different golf courses and visited several vineyards.

I tasked Cedarberg with putting together a roadtrip around the W Cape. I booked the Intl Flights myself and only contacted them 21 days before we were due to fly! Cedarberg put together a detailed itinerary, booked all hotels, accommodation, golf and the car. They communicated with us on a daily basis and always checked that places (and golf) were available before making recommendations. All their recommendations were exactly what we wanted. The supporting documentation with directions and tips meant the holiday went without a single hiccup in spite of the many different bookings.

Cedarberg Africa responded to this review on 22 Nov 2016:

Thank you Trevor for that lovely feedback, we're delighted that it all went so well. We enjoy the imposed focus of a time challenge when putting an itinerary together (but that doesn't mean we want all our clients to give us that same challenge!).

Amazing Wildlife Trip

The accommodation was lovely and we had an amazing view across the river enabling us to watch the wildlife from our room. Had a very memorable coffee stop when approximately 100 buffalo arrived at the watering hole we had stopped at. Lucky enough to see two different families of white rhino as well as all the other big 5. Food was wonderful with a constant variety and they catered for our dietary needs. Everyone was so friendly and we ...
