What my client’s have to say :

“We had a fabulous trip to Cape Town with an eco-safari that we booked with Tanya. Her detailed knowledge and understanding of South Africa really helped us with finding the right accomodation and activities for us. We booked at quite short notice, have 3 kids (whose ages made finding the right safari particularly tricky) and we weren’t disappointed. Tanya was incredibly quick and responsive even during our trip. Due to the floods in Dubai we also had to extend our stay at short notice and had challenges getting flights home, but having Tanya ready to help and made the whole experience 1000 times better. Thank you Tanya, we will definitely be asking for your help again! “
