All five members of the Marten family want to thank Kerry and the “Here’s My Card” team for organising what was the most amazing trip to South Africa over the New Year holiday.

We had never been to South Africa before and were keen to experience the often-mentioned delights of Cape Town and the surrounding area, but also more importantly, felt it was the right time to take our three children (13, 12 & 10) on a trip of a lifetime to enjoy the safari experience. The in-depth knowledge and attention to detail provided by Kerry and Clare was certainly evident, which resulted in us enjoying some fantastic locations and experiences.

Having made the decision to travel a little late, at a time when most things were getting booked up, particularly in Cape Town, Kerry worked really hard to find accommodation that would work for us as a family – and she was successful. Cape Town was exciting and we tried to do most of the site and thoroughly enjoyed Kerry’s recommendations for some fantastic restaurants.

However, the highlights of the trip were the amazing Babylonstoren and the amazing beauty of the surrounding winelands, which were a great surprise to us all. The main event, the safari, was exceptional. Staying at Lion Sands was perfect for us and as a result of Kerry’s organisation, the camp staff certainly kept the children really busy. The memories of this trip will remain with us forever. Undoubtedly, Here’s My Card’s knowledge, hard work and patience resulted in a truly fantastic and memorable holiday. Many thanks again.

This is now our 5th trip with Here’s My Card & we had another amazing time in South Africa once again. We especially loved staying in Camps Bay and even though we have been many times to Cape Town before, we had a lot of fun revisiting some old favourites (Table Mountain and Robben Island) as well as trying out some new ones - climbing Lions Head was a great achievement in the middle of the day!!!

Sea Five Boutique Hotel was absolutely superb for our requirements and we'd love to stay there again......soon!

Tswalu again gave us some of the most amazing experiences, although a little hot at times! It is truly a special place although Ros and I are still debating which is better - Tswalu or our Botswana experience in the Okavango Delta?......a high-quality debate! The food has definitely improved since our last visit - the breakfasts were superb!

Many thanks again for organising another wonderful holiday for us...we are already giving some thought to Christmas next year!

This was our second family trip organized by Kerry & Clare from Here’s My Card. As always everything was perfect and very well organized. We began our trip with an amazing Family Safari at the sumptuous Royal Malewane Safari Lodge. We were spoilt with the most amazing game & service by Edward & his team which was exceptional.

Our next stop was the winelands & the amazing La Residence. We ate at some impressive restaurants & estates & also managed a private day trip with Garth where he took us off the beaten track to explore the breath-taking winelands in more detail. We ended our trip in a chic & contemporary villa in Camps Bay, in wonderful Cape Town – the girls arranged a private chef for us so I didn’t have to lift a finger & we enjoyed a traditional South African ‘braai’ as well as many other great nights out in the city experiencing the amazing food culture. Not forgetting our amazing private guided day trips – where we really got to experience The Mother City in more detail! 

Kerry & Clare got to know us so well that they understood our habits and wishes. We found this whole experience fabulous. Here’s to the next African Adventure!

We had the most wonderful trip thank you so much for all your help and organisation. We are already discussing our trip back!

Kerry and the team at Here’s my card travel helped us plan a trip of a lifetime. We had the most amazing time making wonderful memories. They took the stress out of all the organising finding properties that were perfect for us and made thoughtful reservations for lunch and dinner allowing us to relax and enjoy our holiday, ensuring we had an incredible trip from start to finish.

We really had the best time I am so sad to be home!

We used Kerry and Clare from Here’s My Card back in 2011 when they organised a fantastic trip for us around our son’s school cricket tour. Ever since we have been dying to return so in December 2016 they arranged a three week trip for the four of us - 2 teenagers included, taking in Franschhoek, Hermanus and Cape Town. 

We had a great family holiday and their attention to detail was exceptional. Their glossy itinerary, packed full of useful information, became our bible for the duration! As well as suggesting many activities, they booked us in to some fantastic restaurants - we had some truly amazing meals, notably Foliage in Franschhoek, a picnic at Grande Provence wine estate, and the gastronomic delights of La Colombe in Constantia. 

Clare and Kerry really are streets ahead in terms of service and detail - we would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone wanting a personalised bespoke holiday in South Africa.

We could not overstate how impressed we were with Here’s My Card. The in-depth local knowledge together with incredible attention to detail made for a truly wonderful holiday. Every single aspect of the trip had been considered and planned with a range of options available to provide flexibility.

Clare was always available for any questions and queries. The ‘bound’ Trip itinerary was a lovely touch and our constant companion on the trip.

The phrase ‘Holiday of a Lifetime’ is often overused…this genuinely was.

Thank you to Clare and the Team for a holiday that was so close to perfection to not be worth arguing about.

This was our first trip organised by Here's My Card and our first holiday as a family to Mauritius. From start to finish Kerry and Clare went above and beyond in offering different options to tie in with our requirements of a holiday with two small children; so much so that places we were offered were attractive but did not tie in with our dates so we will come back and would love to try them another time.

Their professional, warm and thorough approach to organising this holiday took away the usual juggle and stress completely. Not only did they give us a stunning resort, but the help with flights just added to the ease of it all. We really loved our stay at the Westin in Mauritius, from the location, activities, food and such friendly staff to our suite which we thought could not have been improved upon.

We have proudly recommended Here's My Card to all of our friends in South Africa and England as they really offer an unbeatable service. Thank you, Kerry and Clare so much and we can't wait for our next booking with you.

We are back from our African Safari in Johannesburg, Victoria Falls and Botswana. A wonderful experience. The accommodations were first rate and connections all went very smoothly. 

The staff at the wonderful & Beyond camps in Botswana were very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The number of animals and birds we saw was truly breath-taking. 

We would highly recommend the service and experience we received from Here’s My Card to others.

Kerry & Clare at Here's My Card arranged a terrific trip for us in South Africa in 2010 with the family, so naturally we asked them to do it again but this time with friends. They did not disappoint and we yet had another memorable trip, this time to Victoria Falls and Botswana. 

Everything about the trip was extraordinary from being picked up at the airport to being delivered back for our flight home. Everyone was always on time and smiling. 

We were able to see all the wildlife and birds that we came to see and enjoyed top-notch accommodations and meals everywhere. 

Thank you once again Here’s My Card

Renee and I recently combined our Wedding pre-visit, with my Moms 60th birthday in a trip to the Bush. Once again, the team at Here’s My Card took care of every details of our trip. As a group, we stayed at Lion Sands River Lodge, Tinga and Narina Lodges for our recent 3 night stay. To say that this part of the world is beautiful is to cut it short of what it truly is… the stunning magnificence of the bush lives with us after seeing a place like that. We cannot believe that it will be our wedding venue… 

We cannot recommend Here’s My Card enough, they do the hard yards with lodges and teams, to make your trip as effortless as possible. We simply glided from experience to experience, without hiccup or bump, carefully managed by the experienced lodge managers. 

Such an experience. Thank you so much girls!

We have recently returned from South Africa where we celebrated a special anniversary. We had never been to this country before and we wanted to get a real sense of it. After a long journey, we arrived late at Kwandwe Reserve and the thought of being up at 5am the following morning was not too appealing. However, the 3 nights we spent there were magical. It is hard to describe the place, the staff, the animals and the whole atmosphere.

We were so sad leaving but Franschhoek and Cape Town offered completely different appeals and we had great fun. The accommodation in both locations were fantastic and fitted our needs and requirements perfectly.

To satisfy my husband’s love of trains, we ended on Ravos Rail from Cape Town to Pretoria. It was like taking a journey back in time, including the delays. None of it mattered as we were so chilled out from the trip and just enjoyed the whole experience. The rooms, food and wines were fantastic.

We can't thank Kerry & Clare from Here's my card enough for working with us to get the type of holiday we were looking for and making it so easy, from our glossy itinerary to the drivers and amazing accommodation. It was a special trip that we will never forget!

Thank you so much for arranging the most incredible holiday we have ever experienced. Every aspect of the trip was spot on & the memories will be with us forever!!

It has definitely been a trip of a lifetime so thank you again.

We had the most amazing time on honeymoon. We absolutely loved the safari experience – the staff there were brilliant and really looked after us. The accommodation was beautiful and the food provided by &Beyond was superb and massively exceeded our expectations. I’d be hard pushed to find anything negative to say at all. It was breath-taking.

We had a similarly amazing experience on Benguerra island, the helicopter ride over was like a journey to paradise and the way they have built the hotel with all the different ‘postcard’ vantage points and multiple locations to relax meant we could really embrace the secluded nature of the honeymoon. Again, the staff there were brilliant and catered to our every whim. We loved the style of the place, it perfectly met our requirements from before the holiday and you and the team did a brilliant job finding it for us.

Thanks again for making our honeymoon the best holiday we have ever been on.

We used Clare and Kerry for our honeymoon, and they did such a wonderful job that we came back a year later!

Everything was seamless, from the moment we arrived in Cape Town. Even organising the whales to turn up and breach within view of our hotel room. Clare was wonderful, and sorted out brilliantly two birthdays and an anniversary on the trip. We couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you.

We can’t wait to make it a threepeat with Here’s My Card travel on our next trip to South Africa.

Here's My Card came highly recommended by a friend and provided exceptional service with regard to our family trip to South Africa. We were travelling with our son and daughter (aged 19 and 21) and Kerry and Clare thought of everything and managed to formulate an itinerary that suited us all. Everything organised down to the finest detail and nothing was too much trouble. 

The booklet provided with our blow by blow itinerary drew gasps of amazement wherever we went! We enjoyed a wonderful stay in the Winelands, followed by a busy and action-packed stay in Cape Town. We explored Table Mountain, visited Robben Island and also managed to fit in some whale watching. However, the final leg of our journey was a safari at Tarkuni Lodge at Tswalu. We were completely blown away by the number and variety of animals that we saw at very close quarters and our guides went above and beyond the call of duty to provide us with a really magical experience. 

I can't recommend Kerry and Clare highly enough for their hard work and staying in constant touch to ensure that everything went according to plan. We can't wait until we can return to South Africa again. We have already had a number of friends express and interest in enjoying a similar experience, so will be passing your details on to them soonest.

Clare & Kerry were an absolute joy to work with while planning our honeymoon in Tanzania. The girls took care of every last detail, allowing us to focus on the excitement of the trip. We never had to worry throughout the two week trip and enjoyed every moment!

The flights, camps, staff, food, and activities were all wonderful every place we stayed — we will definitely be back for an anniversary, and we will definitely use Here’s My Card! Thank you for the trip and memories of a lifetime!

Thank you very much for all your help & last minute assistance with our trip to South Africa – the whole experience was fantastic. Our safari to Singita was extraordinary & unforgettable for all of us & all the logistics were impeccable. Thank you for the lovely bespoke brochure & it stands as a wonderful memory of our first trip to South Africa. Thank you again & we all really appreciated all your efforts & we hope to return again soon.

I contacted Kerry & Clare to see if they could assist us with some safari suggestions for me & the family. From beginning to end we only had seamless service from the girls & it was one of the easiest trips I have ever had to arrange!

We know Cape Town very well as we visit often but safari was something we needed more insight into as the last time we did this, it was for our own honeymoon. It was also the first time our children, Jana & David were going on safari so I wanted something really special.

The girls presented some options based on what our expectations were & we decided on Ulusaba in the Sabi Sands for 3 nights. The camp was quite exceptional & our two-bedroom suite was positioned on top of this hill-side so we had incredible views of the bush & vistas in front of us. All the staff & our ranger were so friendly & brilliant & we were spoilt with literally ‘The Big Five’ on our first game drive! The camp staff were up to speed on who were & when to expect us, what we liked & didn’t like so we were really taken care of from start to finish. Each night we had a different dining experience & all in all, this was a trip that will not be forgotten.

Thank you again Here’s My Card – we will be back soon

Here's My Card is the best travel consultancy we have ever worked with! We stayed at the most beautiful hotels and had the most amazing excursions! More importantly, Kerry and Clare made the trip so easy and logistically seamless. PLUS, we had given them the wrong arrival date and we would not have realized it if Kerry and Clare hadn't double checked everything and found the problem. I can't think of any other service provider who has gone this extra mile to make sure things were perfect. 

I can't wait to be able to travel to Africa again and be able to enjoy their itineraries. Having been treated so well by Here's My Card sets a new standard for travel and I fear I will not be able to find a similar level of service at other destinations. Thank you Here's My Card, Kerry and Clare! We just can't express how appreciative we are for all of your hard work.

We have just arrived back in Austria after our first trip to South Africa. What an experience! Thank you so much Kerry for all your help. Our Safari trip was spot on and just how we imagined it to be. Our flights, transfers and Lodge were great and seamless. We were also lucky with our ranger and tracker and were able to see everything that we wanted to. It is amazing that we were able to book and organize everything over Here’s My Card from the other side of the world.

Thanks again for you recommendations and we look forward to book another trip with Here’s My Card soon.
