Anna Thomas was very adept at planning our trip to South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana. She is a keen listener and grasped what I wanted on the trip. Her knowledge of the area, the lodging, game drives and the multitude of options at each stop are exactly what we wanted. The trip plan was exceptional and the actual trip went perfectly, without a hitch. I was truly a trip of a lifetime! I would recommend Anna as a trip planner/coordinator for anyone looking to travel in south and/or east Africa. I certainly plan on using her again.

The team at Enchanting Travels helped me and my husband plan a bucket list trip to South Africa. Typically, I plan our vacations, but this time I thought a little help would take our trip to the next level. We didn’t want to join a tour, and I did a lot of research on which company might fit what we were looking for: a trip tailored to us that was also within our budget. I contacted Enchanting Travels because of their great reviews and because they had experience with travel in South Africa. From our first call with Corin, I knew we chose the right group to help us plan our trip. He helped us craft an itinerary that highlighted what we most wanted to do (safari) and that also included time in Cape Town to explore Table Mountain and Cape Point as well as in Franschhoek and Stellenbosch to enjoy the delicious South African wines. It was a magical, marvelous trip that we will never forget. All the guest houses and lodges were beautiful and unique and the type of lodging we would typically choose ourselves. The support and communication from the team before, during, and after our trip has been above and beyond. Our trip coordinator in Africa, Ruth, was amazing as well. She helped us make a few changes on the fly while we were there, and her support allowed us to not worry about anything, but to relax and enjoy our vacation. I highly recommend Enchanting Travels for anyone looking for a memorable and customized vacation without having to do all the planning.

If you ever wanted to go to South Africa – DO IT! Our African experience started with us contacting and talking with many different tour operators, both local and online. Alison, with Enchanting Travels was the only one who seemed to actually listen to what we wanted and did not try and sell something that they wanted. She gave us numerous alternatives to pick from and the budgets surrounding each choice. After about a week we decided to go with Enchanting Travels and it was the BEST decision we could have made. WE got the vacation that WE wanted, done the way WE wanted it. We visited four ecological zones in South Africa, wasted no time on buses and stayed at some amazing properties! I would highly recommend Enchanting Travels, Alison, and everyone else that we dealt with during this experience. Not one little regret, I don’t know how they could have made our experience any better!
