Here's my Card put together a wonderful trip for us, tailored to all our needs from Cape Town to winelands to safari in the Kruger to the beaches of Madagascar.
Clare's attention to detail and fantastic suggestions meant we really did have a trip of a lifetime. We cannot recommend her enough. Thank you!

This is our 6th adventure with Here’s My Card as a family & they are spot on with their proposed properties & locations. This time we travelled with another family so we gave Kerry the task of designing something to suit all of us from the tender age of 4 – 50 years old! Kerry did not disappoint & time in Zambia was the start of trip with unrivalled activities – we loved the helicopter trip along the Falls, bungee jumping, zip wires, white water rafting, fishing on the Zambezi, sundowner cruises as well as the game trip to Botswana.
It really was a great location to spend 5 days offering a perfect mix of high energy activities, sightseeing as well as being able to relax in a beautiful environment. We then arrived on Bazaruto Island & we loved the mix of relaxation + amazing activities to keep everyone entertained. The accommodation was impressive & our private deck was so spacious & with a beautiful view! The food was excellent with fabulous buffets each evening, some on the beach which was quite special. There was plenty to do - snorkelling, swimming on horseback, water skiing, donuts and dune boarding. The younger children spent hours in the pool with its waterslide and made use of the kids club.
All in all it was a great success and we could have stayed longer. Many thanks as ever for organising everything so brilliantly.

Kerry organised a fantastic trip, which gave us a true taste of Africa and its wonders. We are a group of nine with 5 children between the ages of 6 and 18. This is the third trip Kerry has planned for us - she always meets all our needs to the highest standards possible. On this trip we stayed a stone’s throw from the dramatic Victoria Falls where we experienced adventures such as bungee jumping, rafting and zip wiring - topped off with an exhilarating helicopter ride through the ravines of the falls.
The accommodation was stunning - where else in the world can you watch hippos basking in the water, elephants drinking and monkeys playing on your roof… all before you step outside of your lodge in the morning. The trip was topped off by a relaxing retreat to the Island of Bazaruto - and adrenalin levels returned to normal! Thanks again and can’t wait for our next adventure!

We booked our honeymoon safari adventure with Here's My Card and couldn't have been happier. Kerry was fantastic to deal with and made some wonderful suggestions on where we should consider for our once-in-a-lifetime getaway.
The tented safari we chose was exceptional in every way - the setting, the luxury, the safari drives and the food. All first rate. And they looked after us incredibly well. Everything was thought through in meticulous detail by Kerry, right down to the airport transfers and the timing of payment to take advantage of preferential exchange rates. It was brilliantly organised and entirely stress free.
We loved it and would recommend Here's My Card to anyone thinking of a trip to Southern Africa. Thank you!

The team were amazing at coordinating everything for us so we had a seamless incredible holiday in Franschhoek, South Africa.
La Residence was incredible and we will go back using Here’s My Card Travel!

We were incredibly fortunate for the introduction to Here's My Card Travel by one of our good South African friends. My wife always wanted a truly magical honeymoon. The preparation and planning process was fun and easy. Kerry was able to interpret our desires and tastes without hesitation and designed the most extraordinary two weeks of our lives. Every component was smoothly executed: transportation, hotels, and activities were perfect. Our ranger, personal guides and hosts were delightful and knew exactly what we love thanks to Kerry. From the magical red sun-soaked sands of the Kalahari to the mesmerising waves of the Atlantic, we would do it all again.

Everything was perfect. Kerry was great to work with and has an incredible breadth and depth of knowledge about Africa. We had a general sense for what we were looking for but Kerry took that sketch and turned it into the trip of a lifetime. Beyond just helping us select the most beautiful destinations, Kerry was also able to deliver a seamless experience with every piece of the logistics working smoothly throughout the trip. What I was looking for wasn’t a series of options – but the right answer and I’m confident that Kerry and her team delivered exactly that.

As we contemplated a trip of lifetime to South Africa, we were recommended by friends to contact Kerry at Here's My Card. We are so glad we did.
Our trip to celebrate our third wedding anniversary took us to Cape Town, Hermanus, Franschhoek and Kruger National Park. Kerry recommended and booked our accommodation throughout the trip and all locations exceeded the very high expectations that Kerry had set! In particular, our stays at La Providence (Franschhoek) and Dulini River Lodge (Kruger National Park) stood out as spectacular experiences. Gary & Ellen at La Providence and the whole staff at Dulini were first class and very attentive to ensure we were relaxed and enjoying our time to the fullest while on vacation.
When we chose not to plan any activities or book dinner reservations, Kerry always had recommendations for hikes, tours, and restaurants in the very informative and professional Here's My Card travel booklet. We were very glad we had those recommendations handy and we took her advice on a number of occasion. Nice touch!
Here's My Card was very responsive and available by both email and telephone whenever we had questions or concerns. They added that extra touch and level of comfort that made our trip so amazing. Thank you & we certainly did leave a piece of our hearts in South Africa!

We returned once again to our favourite holiday destination, the organisation and attention to detail from the Heres My Card team meant that we had another seamless experience and despite being regular travellers to the area it’s always good to have new ideas and accommodations to consider.
The new Silo Hotel in Cape Town was an excellent find along with the more familiar Franschhoek and Jo'burg favourites.
As keen golfers we decided to sample a number of courses along our route and came away with many wonderful memories. We look forward to many visits to come with the diversity of activities always allowing for new and exciting experiences. Thank you Here's My Card.

South Africa was a place we had wanted to go on holiday to for years and when close friends of ours returned from their honeymoon, they had no hesitation in recommending Here's My Card Travel. Clare was fantastic from the very start, tailoring every aspect of the holiday to suit us and what we wanted to see, and removing any element of stress from the whole experience. All accommodation, transfers, excursions, car hire, restaurants, even the recommended wine, were exceptional and we never had any reason to question our "holiday bible" (the lovely itinerary provided by Here's My Card Travel).
From the moment we arrived we were met personally at the airport and greeted with a luxury transfer to Franschhoek where we spent two days enjoying the wine country, staying in fantastic accommodation with excellent hospitality. From there we travelled to Camps Bay to yet more excellent accommodation. Clare's advice on all attractions and day trips was spot on (she even seemed to arrange the perfect weather) and her input took us to places we would never have thought of going had we been planning the trip ourselves. The latter part of our holiday took us to our highlight, the safari. Again, flights and transfers were all arranged for us flawlessly and the accommodation was truly outstanding. The sights and experiences of the safari drives were better than we could ever have imagined and the magical memories will stay with us forever.
We have already recommended Here's My Card Travel and Clare to our friends and family, and would not hesitate to book with them again.
A huge thanks for a truly incredible holiday.

My parents came to South Africa for the trip of their lifetime. Everything was immaculate from the moment they arrived until the moment they left.
My mother referred to the the itinerary as the "elephant book" and leveraged every bit of detail in it like it was a religious tome.
The time on Safari was amazing and the guides of the city were perfectly suited for each event. I couldn't have planned a better experience for myself and my folks. They are still enamoured with the country, the people, the animals and the food in a way that I could never have presented to them without Clare's help. Such a good time was had by all - so thank you!

Kerry and Here’s My Card were recommended to us by a friend and another client of hers. It became apparent very quickly why she was so highly recommended. Kerry was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and enthusiastic from the start, presenting us with lots of different options for itineraries and activities, being careful to consider what would work for both us and the children. She was very patient when we took some time to make decisions and changed our mind!
When we arrived in Cape Town we were so impressed with our amazing beach villa and its beautiful views of Camps Bay. She had left a fantastic full itinerary book to guide us for every day of our trip and it’s the little things like offering to have some shopping already in the villa that make the difference. Some of our favourite memories are getting so close to the penguins on boulders beach, enjoying the most fabulous food and wine, strolling along the beach and the views from Lions Head and Table Mountain.
On Kerry’s recommendation we then stayed on a beautiful working farm in the winelands where they grow their own food. The children loved feeding the donkeys, spotting tortoises just plodding about, scavenger hunt on bikes and the adults enjoyed the spa and the most amazing breakfasts! The views in the winelands are incredible.
We then finished off with a safari at the luxurious but extremely child friendly Kwandwe. Our ranger was superb with the children and we loved the whole experience - beautiful setting and accommodation and so exciting to see a pride of lions drinking at a watering hole, cheetahs on a sunset stroll, rhino and baby, giraffes and elephants.
Kerry had planned it all perfectly and we had our best ever holiday. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Here’s My Card.

We could not have had a better, more exciting trip. We wanted to give our two children an experience they would not forget, and return to Africa ourselves for the first time in many years. Clare and the team could not have done a better job in putting together an amazing trip, with their deep knowledge of great places to stay. We had a wonderful time staying in the lovely places in Kenya and Tanzania. We felt very spoilt. Thank very much Here's my Card.

We have nothing but the highest praise for and gratitude to Clare and Here’s My Card for organizing an incredible trip for our family. We started in Cape Town and then stayed at Lodges in Sabi Sands, Kruger and Zimbabwe near Victoria Falls. Each location was a fantastic experience with incredibly warm and welcoming staff and truly fabulous game drives. Not a single complaint about any of our destinations.
Clare was tremendously helpful in planning a trip that met all our needs. We have three adult children in their 20’s, and their departures and arrivals were all somewhat different, but everything worked out great and the selection of Lodges was perfect. Clare really took the time to understand our needs and objectives and then planned a perfect trip. When logistical issues came up (as they always do) she was right on top of it and made sure that everything went smoothly. And Clare even planned an extra weekend for my son in Harare.
Throughout the planning process, we felt that Clare really tried hard to make our visit an unbelievable experience, which it was. We would recommend Here’s My Card to anyone looking to travel in South Africa.

We had the most amazing holiday ever - thanks to you! This was the first time we had a holiday which was so organised for us and it worked brilliantly.
Kwandwe was the most incredible place we've ever stayed. The accommodation, surroundings and service just couldn't be bettered.
The safari experience was life changing. Our guide and tracker were brilliant - so interesting and enthusiastic. They really cared about making the whole experience as special as possible. It was the best holiday we could have done with two teenage boys who both loved every moment of it.
The beauty of the animals and the reserve will stay with us forever. The leopard proved elusive but it didn't detract from the holiday. Highlights were watching a pride of lions and cubs playing, baby elephants and a baby cheetah.. We even had an old bull elephant who took a bit of a fancy to our lodge and plunge pool! Bit of a surprise when we opened the curtains in the morning. ...!
Clare, we felt you and your team put together the perfect holiday for our family with only a small amount of information from us.
The quality of hotels, restaurants and activities was outstanding. The attention to detail was second to none. Our brochure from Here's my Card is a treasured possession along with all the very happy memories of our South African holiday. Thank you!

This is my second time visiting South Africa. My family were invited by a friend who organised an amazing private safari with Here's My Card. This year I decided to arrange an extended family trip for 7 adults and 2 kids to South Africa which again included a safari.
Clare was the person who took care of organizing and supervising every detail both in our stay at Africa House and in Cape Town. Everything worked out incredibly well and exceeded even our expectations.
It really has been a magical experience as if you were the main character of the well-known film Out of Africa. I never imagined that Africa had such special landscapes, especially the sunsets.
All the staff at Africa House were amazing, always ready for our requests and with the best smile.
Thank you Here's My Card for giving me the opportunity of showing the best face of Africa to my family.

We first had the pleasure of interacting with Here’s My Card back in 2009 when I had the amazing luck of winning a trip away organised by them which set the bar for all subsequent holidays. 7 years later when it came to arrange our honeymoon it was the simplest choice of our wedding planning to use them again.
Kerry was fantastic in listening to our wants and generating a tailored holiday that covered everything we had hoped for. They work with so many amazing properties but the small touches such as booking awesome dinner options and providing tons of suggestions for where to go and what to see are what really make the difference.
The service even covered her alerting us to an impending storm that may have impacted our flight to Kruger. Whist we chilled out in the wine-lands oblivious to things Kerry had already booked us 2 hotel options just in case the flights were cancelled.
Incredible honeymoon, incredible service. Thanks so much again.

When we set out to plan our honeymoon, my husband and I wanted to go on the trip of a lifetime. We have gone on some truly amazing trips in our lives so this was no small task.
Here’s My Card totally delivered. Kerry worked with us to craft a trip that was truly ours. We originally really wanted to go to Mauritius are so happy she convinced us to start our trip in Mozambique instead. Benguerra was exactly the unique experience we wanted to kick things off. Every decision we made based on Kerry’s suggestions were validated at every turn. We went to the best restaurants and stayed in amazing hotels that were full of surprises and personal touches. Even the itinerary was a surprise!
I have already been asked by several people how we booked our trip so they should be prepared for some referrals! This was a honeymoon for the history books.

Just a quick note to thank you for organising a fantastic week for us. It was the best trip we ever had together. Everything worked so well. The Cape Grace is still excellent and Kwandwe was amazing. I think Uplands Homestead was the most beautiful place I have ever been to. Not sure why but it really hit a spot for me.
We hardly saw a cloud for the week and the trip to Robben Island, Table Mountain and all out transfers and flights worked like clockwork.
We will carry the memories with us for a long time.

An incredible experience, difficult to imagine how it could’ve been better.
Kerry, thank you so much for helping arrange such an amazing trip. Everything worked out incredibly well and exceeded even our lofty expectations. The advice ahead of the trip, the ongoing dialogue and follow-up to make sure everything was ok was truly appreciated. From our time at Victoria Falls and then driving through Kruger and staying at Ngala, to finishing with golf (extreme 19!) at Legends, the whole trip couldn’t have been planned and executed any better.
What was particularly impressive is that we didn’t make it straight-forward for you. We’re difficult to arrange for, difficult to please and generally painful to interact with but you showed unwavering patience and professionalism helping at every step of the way, tailoring the holiday to meet our various (and sometime unique!) needs. We will be recommending your services and definitely using them again on our next adventure! Finally, thank you for birthday messages and surprises during the trip, completely unexpected but made the trip especially memorable.
