1st rate service

It was a pleasure working with Clare – she helped organize a trip of a lifetime, no detail was too much, always available to make any last minute changes and overall 1st rate service.

We couldn’t have wished for a more hassle free, high touch, fabulous hotels and travel arrangements vacation. She helped us make such special memories as a family together. Eternally grateful and I can’t recommend more highly. Thank you

Wonderful 12 Days

Kerry and Clare put together a wonderful 12 days for us in South Africa, first as guests at a wedding and then on a two destination holiday. 

They judged our tastes for accommodation and activities really well and their recommendations were spot on and very enjoyable.

The logistics were smooth and they and their associates went the extra mile – not least when we left things behind! Would thoroughly recommend them and their choices.

Seamless organisation

Kerry nailed our brief; hotel and restaurant recommendations were all top notch. Our time in Grootbos and Leeu House, Franschhoek was the perfect antidote to a busy few days visiting family in Cape Town.

Accommodation, food and service were all superb and in breathtakingly beautiful settings. Dinner at La Petite Colombe was a particular culinary highlight.

Thank you for your expert advice and seamless organisation of logistics. We will be back for a longer trip next time.

Beyond our expectations

What a wonderful 4 weeks! We just had an amazing holiday and the touches for this trip from Clare and Here’s My Card are beyond our expectations. 

We have been wonderful taken care of and enjoyed every step on our trip. South Africa is a must see and to be explored. 

We will be back with you and we were grateful for being able to personally meet up with Clare in Cape Town as well. Thank you for all your organisation and the kindness you put into it.

Best holiday ever

This is our 9th time to South Africa with Here’s My Card and it was probably our best holiday ever. From the vineyards in Franschhoek, to all the adventures that Plettenberg Bay can offer and finally to the wonders of Cape Town and the beaches at Camps Bay. We loved it all…….and will be back!

The Most Incredible Trip of Our Lives!

Kerry planned our honeymoon, and it was truly the most incredible trip of our lives! Going on an African safari was a total bucket list item for us, but we had no idea where to start. Kerry made the planning so easy. She listened to everything we wanted to get out of the trip, presented us with various options at different price points, and in the end we were absolutely blown away by the trip she planned. From the amazing service during every moment of the trip - including having a personal driver every step of the way - to the stunning, private resorts and once-in-a-lifetime experiences, we could never have imagined such a perfect trip.

I would recommend Kerry's services to anyone. We were able to completely trust her to pick places that would make us feel right at home and completely safe during every moment of our two-week honeymoon. She was also available via What’s App for any questions we had along the way. We’ll never forget this trip and are so grateful to Kerry for all her amazing planning! She gave us such helpful counsel during the planning process - for instance, taking our original vision and advising us on ways to make it more affordable and logistically feasible. She also picked the absolute perfect time of year for us, finding discounts for an off-peak month that also had beautiful weather and not a single mosquito! It could not have been a better trip. 

Thank you, Kerry and Here’s My Card Travel, for one of the most special memories of our lives!

Wonderful experience

Thank you for putting together a fabulous visit to South Africa, including two exciting safaris and visits to Cape Town and the Wine Country.  The lodges in Kruger and the Kalahari were terrific, and the accommodation in the winelands was fabulous.   

The “stars” of the visit were the lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, rhinos which were plentiful, graceful, natural and enthralling. All of the details of the trip were well planned by Kerry, and she remained totally in touch and available for last minute adjustments.  All in all, a wonderful experience.

Thanks again for everything!!!!

Outstanding

The honeymoon was amazing & we loved our first stop post our winelands wedding. Our Franschhoek boutique hotel was fantastic. The style, look and feel of this place was beautiful. The safari tents were very romantic & we saw some wonderful game. The Beach Lodge literally took our breath away from the moment we arrived with the phenomenal views in every direction. The staff were extremely friendly and made it immediately feel like home. The architecture is stunning and the rooms made you want to never leave. Each room had endless views of the ocean with no one to see for miles on end. It was the dream honeymoon spot. Then there was the food, wow! The food was absolutely delicious and every meal was adventurous as you never know where you were going to eat next, the restaurant, the terrace, the picnic spot, the beach or the hidden cabana. We loved the effort the staff put in, showing a new experience of the place each time. The staff here go above and beyond to make the experience a 20 out of 10. 

Thank you to the team for an outstanding trip.

Master Piece

Kerry completely curated our honeymoon trip to South Africa and it could easily be described in two words, MASTER PIECE. We had the absolute best time of our lives! Kerry spent time getting to know us and our interests via zoom calls and totally orchestrated a non-stop series of amazing experiences throughout Cape Town, Franschhoek, and last but certainly not least, Kruger National Park. 

The whole trip was jam packed with hiking, dining on wonderful cuisine, wine drinking, safari, and exploration of South Africa’s incredible cities. All made extremely easy by the comprehensive itinerary generated by Here’s My Card. All of the tour guides throughout the trip were extremely kind and we really enjoyed getting to know them and learning from them! And the accommodations throughout were immaculate! 

We honestly could not have imagined a more perfect honeymoon trip! We knew it would be great, but our expectations were surpassed by a long shot. Since coming back we have been and will continue to recommend Kerry and Here’s my Card to all of our friends and family for a phenomenal South African experience!

Exceptional

Our daughter and son-in-law had Clare arrange two safaris to Africa so she came highly recommended. This was our first safari and we were impressed with the options Clare provided us. We chose Lewa Wilderness and Mahali Mzuri in Kenya and the trip was exceptional. No detail was overlooked in the planning and the Here’s My Card team was equally exceptional in the coordination and execution of every detail. We knew this would be a wonderful trip, but it exceeded our already high expectations. Clare could not have planned a better trip for us. Thanks to Clare and her wonderful Here’s My Card team for helping us create such beautiful memories for a lifetime.

Amazing Experience

Zack and I arrived back in New York & I wanted to pass along some great feedback! We really enjoyed every hotel and activity during our stay. 

Compass house was gorgeous, the people who worked there were wonderful and even upgraded our room since it was relatively empty. Rehad, our private guide was also fantastic and I would definitely recommend him to anyone visiting Cape Town. We also loved our time at Lion Sands and Azura.

The hotels were amazing and everyone was so hospitable. 

Thank you again for helping put together our amazing experience!!

Wonderful Mauritius Trip

Kerry did a fantastic job of helping us organise a wonderful trip to beautiful Mauritius and was patient and accommodating when we had to revise hotels due to covid delays looking into various options and coming up with lovely choices. We had a wonderful holiday in 2 different parts of the island.

Artfully crafted

Our family finally managed to take this long awaited trip to South Africa post the covid pandemic, and we had the best time at Kwandwe on Safari, rounded off with some activity packed days in and around Cape Town and a blissfully chilled weekend at Babylonstoren. This was all artfully crafted by the lovely team at Here’s My Card travel who knew exactly what would work for us - we can’t thank them enough. It made for a truly memorable first, but not last!, visit to South Africa.

Truly the best

Love in the time of Covid.

We were blessed to have Here’s My Card by our side. Planning a wedding and subsequent honeymoon is hard enough - doing so from across the planet, even tougher but throw in a global pandemic and it's nearly impossible. Thank goodness for Kerry and Clare who helped navigate all the murky waters for us and supported us through postponing our travels.

As they say, everything happens for a reason and our honeymoon was beyond incredible thanks to these women, when did happen. As someone who's been lucky enough to work abroad and travel extensively - my expectations were high. They were not only met but exceeded. Every detail and thought was carefully planned out and there were lovely special touches and surprises all along the way.

I honestly miss working with Kerry on this trip and hope we find more reasons to continue to plan together in the near future. Cannot recommend Here's my Card enough! Truly the best.

The Honeymoon of our Dreams

From the moment we first spoke to Kerry with Here’s My Card Travel, we immediately knew we were in good hands and were speaking with someone who truly cared about fulfilling and exceeding the aspirations and goals we mapped out for our honeymoon (we previously were talking to a large US-based travel agent and were not having a good experience). We spent many months (if not a full year!) working with Kerry to identify the perfect destinations for our four-stop trip, and not once did we feel rushed to make a decision. In fact, we very much so enjoyed all of our conversations with Kerry, and her patience, that when the planning process had ended, we missed her! 

What we appreciated the most was that Kerry did not stop her attentiveness at the end of the planning. While we were in Cape Town, Franschhoek, Sabi Sands, and Benguerra Island, Kerry was always there for us on WhatsApp to ensure that everything was going seamlessly. Her knowledge and expertise in African travel and tourism are truly unmatched - anyone that decides to work with Here’s My Card Travel will be more than happy with their decision.

Ticked all the boxes

Kerry recommended Grootbos to us and having organised so many holidays for us she ticked all the boxes with this one … Really superb food, interesting activities for the whole family and a breath-taking setting. Kerry you really nailed this one for us, thanks a million.

Excellent

We had THE most wonderful holiday in Cape Town!!! Kerry was fantastic not only did she organise the whole trip she catered for my winemaking husband from St Emilion and for myself who is a professional artist - so whilst he was tasting beautiful wines I visited the exquisite work of Dylan Lewis which was truly inspirational. 

Every restaurant that Kerry recommended was excellent - every taxi journey and all connections were seamless  - the hotel was perfect for our needs and we cannot recommend her highly enough for your holiday - Here’s My card is in a class of its own ! Excellent.

Amazing honeymoon

We can’t say enough great things about Kerry and Here’s My Card Travel! From start to finish, Kerry was extremely organized and her excitement was evident as she helped my husband and I plan our honeymoon. We don’t travel much at all, so we were a bit hesitant in planning such a big trip. Kerry made the entire process so easy! She was available every step of the way- even checking in during the trip. The whole trip was curated specifically for us - she even set up an ice cream tour for us as we are ice cream lovers! If you are planning a trip to Africa, you’ve got to use Kerry and Here’s My Card Travel!

Amazingly well organised

We just wanted to thank you for the amazingly well organised trip. It contained everything we are looking for: adventure, luxury, kind people, magic and out of Africa moments ... you optimised every second (wow). It’s exactly what we needed and more. We hope to meet soon for new African adventures.

Unforgettable trip

My husband, two daughters (ages 4 and 6) and I spent an amazing 4 nights at Ecca Lodge on the Kwandwe game reserve in March earlier this year. Clare was an amazing help in suggesting a great family friendly lodge and arranging all the details. The staff at Ecca were fantastic with the kids! Our ranger, Courtney, and tracker, Vuyani, were gentle and patient with our girls, keeping them engaged on the game drives and taking them on a special picnic outing with one of the other younger guests. The lodge was also really great for us parents, getting a lot of time to relax and enjoy the stunning surroundings and animal life.

This is not the first time we have asked Clare for help arranging an unforgettable trip, and it definitely won’t be the last!
