Trip of a lifetime

We had the trip of a lifetime to Tanzania with everything organised by Clare from Here’s My Card completely suited to what we wanted from our adventure. Climbing Kilimanjaro with the guiding company she handpicked for us was an incredible experience as was the safari we went on afterwards set in a range of incredible surroundings and accommodation and made possible by professional, fun and warm group of Tanzanians. We couldn’t recommend Clare and the experiences we had highly enough. Thank you!

Dream Solo Trip

Kerry was absolutely brilliant in helping plan a solo trip to Namibia and South Africa. She really took the time to learn my interests and budget to tailor the itinerary to my preferences, and I couldn’t have imagined a better trip! She has outstanding taste in accommodations and I will truly be dreaming about my stays under the Namibian stars and in the bush for a long time. Finally, Kerry made everything absolutely seamless and secure, which I especially appreciated as a solo traveller. Thanks so much for making my dream trip possible!

A family holiday of a lifetime

This trip to South Africa was made an exciting and smooth planning process for our family thanks to Kerry & Here’s My Card Travel team. With special birthday celebrations amongst the family, Kerry put thought into every aspect of our holiday to ensure lasting family memories were made and special birthday touches were in place. The consideration of which Safari lodge to choose based on our travel itinerary, time of year and party size was the beginning of our experience with working with Kerry, which then  resulted  in working with Kerry to  plan & organize an 11th &  50th birthday with interstate guests and the sharing of celebration ideas & accommodation bookings  for the rest of our adventures in Cape town and the wine regions. Everything felt tailored  almost exclusively for us with Kerry getting to know my tastes and family and friends needs along with ensuring everything was within our budget. Her creativity and ideas helped adventures we couldn’t’ even dream of not being a local come true. Kerry & her team have exquisite taste accommodating all budget needs and all family dynamic needs. Her over & above attention to detail makes her a stand out business to work with. I will be recommending Kerry to all my Australian & British friends who choose to travel to SA and will be using Kerry again as after this trip, as our girls now want to become wildlife conservationists in South Africa  and holiday here every time!

Magical Honeymoon

Kerry dedicated so much time to tailoring the perfect honeymoon and itinerary for me and my husband! She went above and beyond our expectations with all the activities and suggestions on things we could do. Every day of our 14 day trip was more exciting than the last. It's a trip we will never stop talking about and have the photos to cherish for the rest of our lives. Please choose Here’s My Card travel for your perfect getaway! We can't thank you enough, Kerry. We will miss South Africa so much and definitely plan to make another trip back!

Highest recommendation

We have travelled all over the world for many years, but nothing compares to our experience in Africa. Travel in a foreign land can be difficult, but Kerry made everything easy. From initial planning to artfully and promptly taking care of the little challenges that always seem to arise. She takes the time to listen to our desires, and then follows through to deliver what we want. Our trip to Cape Town and Franschhoek was fabulous, but the highlight was a few days at &Beyond Ngala, viewing the incredible variety of African wildlife. Watching a leopard stalk an impala only a few meters away from us was magical! Kerry has our highest recommendation; We can't imagine enjoying this trip as much as we did without her help.

Exceptional personal service

We had a fabulous time at The Western Cape, our itinerary planned and organised by Kerry at Here's My Card. Kerry helped us experience diverse activities of a lifetime including, guided tour of the cape peninsula, Harley bike ride up Chapmans Peak to Constantia, visits to Franschhoek and Kirstenbosch Gardens, helicopter ride around table mountain and the city and fast track tickets up Table Mountain by cable car. Kerry was amazing as we had some issues with very unusual weather and our itinerary had to be changed accordingly and she was able to do this. We managed to do everything planned and it was a phenomenal holiday experience due to her efficiency and care. Highly recommend this exceptional personal service. Thank you so much

Fabulous

Thank you Clare for arranging a fabulous and memorable family holiday for my 50th birthday to Zimbabwe. We got to see the falls and stayed in beautiful lodges. Thanks for all the suggestions and for putting all the small details together. It was a trip of a lifetime. Where to next …….

Cape Town

Breathtaking

From the scenery, to the accommodation, to the safari, the whole trip was just breathtaking. We would like to thank Kerry for organising everything. It started with a stop in Cape Town, then on to Franschhoek to explore the beautiful wine region which some amazing dinner bookings made for us. Then back to Cape Town 4 days in the beautiful Camps Bay for a fun-filled exploration of the cape including Simons town, Robben Island and Table Mountain - again with amazing restaurants. And then finally onto Kruger for a safari we will never forget, seeing animals and nature at it very best. It was an absolute pleasure to have Kerry organising this for us and dream of a holiday! I honestly can not recommend Here’s My Card Travel enough.

Amazing Time

As we arrived at the lodge the staff gave us such a warm welcome. And that’s only the tip of the iceberg. We have never experienced this kind of hospitality. We really felt like two royals. The help from Erika the manager, the humble care of Sipho and the marvellous food of Kate. Everything was so well organised. The place, setting of our breakfast, lunch and dinner. Not a single day was the same. And last but not least the game drives with the guide Julius, who had A lot of knowledge and was so passionate. 

Amani Lodge was so peaceful and serene. It sometimes even felt if we were the only people there.  We had amazing time. Thanks to Kerry and booking this gem in the Kruger Park.

Amazing Itinerary

I can’t compliment you enough for all the work that you undertook in putting together the itinerary for Gaynor and I. Even at an early stage in the planning, it was clear to me that you understood what we were looking for, as a first time experience of a trip to South Africa.

You put together an amazing itinerary, encompassing what we wanted to see and experience, in the time frame that we had available. The trip flowed seamlessly from the Cape Winelands of Franschhoek to the stunning Grootbos Nature Reserve. Then on to the Cape Town experience and to finish with the Safari experience at Tinga Lodge by the Sabie River in Kruger.

Your choice of accommodation in all 4 locations  was fantastic, even down to the specific lodges at Grootbos and Tinga. The travel plan was perfect with the flight times, the pick ups , the car hire and the private guided tour to Cape Point.

When it comes to restaurant recommendations, I am sure it can’t be easy to meet client expectations all the time. However you certainly achieved it for Gaynor and I, all the restaurants recommended were fantastic, and again Clare that was a testament to you and a reflection on your great skill of listening to the client and tailoring the itinerary accordingly .

The Itinerary Pack you provided was well put together and very helpful in detailing all the daily activities and logistics. We appreciate the time and effort that must have gone into the finalising detail of the trip, and we can’t thank you enough for the wonderful experience that we had during our time in your country.

We have recommended your company and the service you provide to several couples to date, and wouldn’t hesitate to continue to do so. Many, many thanks!

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.

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!

Fantastic

Clare was simply fantastic and tailored our trip perfectly to our needs and budget. 

We got to have the perfect mix of walking, relaxation and adventure and stayed in some unique and beautiful places we would never have discovered without Clare’s help. 

Here’s My Card always deliver thoughtful and personal touches with their in-depth knowledge of the accommodation, restaurants and activities they recommend.   

They have organised wonderful trips for us in the past and certainly didn’t disappoint this time. 

We can’t wait for the chance to plan another trip with them again!

Magical experience

We had an absolutely magical experience on our trip to Southern Africa. 

Clare managed to take our detail-free vision of an ideal honeymoon and turn it into an extraordinary itinerary with well-coordinated logistics.  Our itinerary was fantastic and the experience was even better than hoped for. 

From the places we stayed, to the restaurants we visited and the activities we pursued, every detail both fit our interests and amazed us.  

We're already hoping to work with Clare again and get back to Africa soon!

Absolutely outstanding

We have just returned home to Dublin after an amazing holiday in South Africa. We cannot say enough about Kerry and ‘Here’s My Card’.  Kerry was absolutely outstanding, from the first email to the most recent, enquiring after our holiday. Her knowledge and expertise made sure we had a superb holiday-from the little things as recommending a lovely cafe to arranging safari in Phinda Game Reserve. Kerry went above and beyond what was required of her and we are very grateful.

It was a holiday of a lifetime.

Honeymoon for the history books

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.

Best trip ever

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.
