Dream Holiday

We got back from an amazing 10 days in South Africa. The itinerary you put together for us was absolutely perfect and all the details regarding tipping etc were so helpful.

In Cape Town the day with Rehad was fantastic and the Harleys with George followed by lunch at Constantia Glenn were real highlights and Kloof St for NY Eve was perfect, the girls loved it.

Tanda Tula was really special, the accommodation, service and food were all outstanding, we loved the drives and got to see so much, our guide and tracker (Steven and Given) were amazing.

Thanks so much for doing such a great job putting everything together and looking after every last detail, it was a dream holiday for us that we will never forget.

Trip of a Lifetime

This was our first trip organized by Heres’s My Card and Kerry, but I hope it’s not our last! It was perfect from start to finish. Kerry arranged ground transportation, accommodations, meals, tours, safari, and more. She understood exactly what we were looking for and made it happen. She even travelled to the airport to hand-deliver sunglasses we left in a car!

She’s a pleasure to work with, and I can’t recommend Here’s My Card Travel more highly whether it’s for a family vacation, a honeymoon, a trip of a lifetime, or even a business trip. I will definitely book future trips through her.

A truly unforgettable adventure

“South Africa, December 2024” was a special birthday trip which we embarked upon to celebrate Linda’s birthday.  We were introduced to Clare by a family friend, and our engagement, from the outset, was really encouraging and a great pleasure. 

We had two or three virtual meetings over M/S Teams, during which we outlined our general aspirations, in response to which Clare curated a provisional schedule which we then finalised into a fixed plan for our two week tour.

Clare’s attention to detail was quite simply outstanding.  The venues which she booked for our three stop tour were sensational. The activities which she recommended were memorable. Her suggestions for dinners / lunches were amazing and all reservations and payments of deposits were taken care of, utterly flawlessly. 

We are not in the habit of writing “post-event” travel reviews but in this case we are duty bound to make an exception and to document our thanks to Clare and Here’s My Card Travel.  We set off on a holiday and came home reflecting on a truly unforgettable adventure.  We are delighted to recommend Here’s My Card to any would-be travellers to South Africa….

Incredible Honeymoon

The honeymoon was incredible - everything we imagined and more. Thank you very much for your help. Tswalu as exceptional & the perfect ending - but it might have ruined game drives forever for us as nothing will compare!  We are already talking about coming back for the winter season!  Thank you again for everything.

Highly recommend

Our safari experience in South Africa was truly unforgettable. The luxury facilities were top-notch, and the safari itself exceeded all expectations. Expert guides took us on intimate game drives with small groups, and we were thrilled to spot the Big 5 on our very first day! Kerry, made the entire trip seamless—she organized everything perfectly and was always available to answer any questions. It was the perfect combination of adventure and relaxation, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

Highlight of our lives

Our trip to South Africa was one of the most memorable experiences in our family’s lives. The trip was a real adventure that included our four-year-old son. 

At the end of the group trip, our family headed to Port Elizabeth by plane and then a car and driver brought us to Kwandwe Private Game Reserve for three days of safari. Kwandwe was a great way to end the trip and malaria free for our son’s benefit. We went on game drives every morning and afternoon, and when our son needed a break, there was dedicated staff to play with him and watch over him. We saw lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, and rhinos right up close. And the food was always delicious. Thank you, Kerry and Clare, for organizing one of the highlights of our lives. We loved every moment of it and look forward to returning as well as exploring other parts of the continent.

Beautiful memories

Clare helped us plan our honeymoon - our first time in the Southern Africa region. She made the entire planning process seamless as she is incredibly organized and responsive, answering all of our questions. The trip itself (to Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe) was such an adventure, with Clare finding lodges / camps for us that we might not otherwise have found ourselves and ones where we met interesting people, who we will remember forever and built beautiful memories. Thank you Clare for all of your help making our honeymoon so magical!

Transformative

We traveled to South Africa for a wedding but we got so much more than we expected. Our overall experience was absolutely transformative. We started out at a luxurious boutique hotel in Cape Town with Table Mountain providing a spectacular backdrop. From there we spent three nights on safari at Tswalu Kalahari and then a week in wine country, wrapping up our trip at Babylonstoren. Each place we stayed—the food, the accommodations, the people—was top shelf! Kerry’s uncanny attention to detail was off the charts; she curated the perfect vacation for our family. We look forward to visiting South Africa again (soon). When we do, we will definitely use Here’s My Card again. They are the best!

Loved every minute

Clare, I can’t believe I’m writing this to you yet, it was such a pleasure to organize this trip with you, and finally we could take off, and now it’s over. 🥲

What a beautiful country, amazing nature, good food, lovely people, we loved every minute of it!

Thank you for letting us discover those places in exactly the way we like to travel.

Hopefully we have the opportunity to come back one day, if so, you’ll hear from us again!

Incredible

Clare, thank you for planning such a wonderful trip.  We enjoyed every hotel and each city. It was incredible.

We especially loved our safari experience. The lodge, the living quarters, the staff, the food….wow!  We also were lucky enough to see the big 5.

Thank you for your patience during the process and all of your recommendations.

Life Changing Adventure

There are not enough words in the English language to describe how incredible our trip to South Africa was! Our honeymoon was absolutely unforgettable - the food, the views, the people... we're already thinking "When is the next time we can come back here?!" Our private tour of Cape Town on our first day was one of the highlights, as our guide, Rehad, showed us everything the city has to offer. Don't even get me started on the safari - it was absolutely one of the most life changing experiences we've ever had, the animals were so close! Kerry and the team at Here's My Card were with us every step of the way, arranging transfers, dinners, and activities for us based on what we wanted to do most. I can't imagine a better honeymoon - it was truly the perfect trip and we can't wait for our next South Africa trip!

A million thanks

As we (reluctantly) depart South African we, yet again, wanted to thank you both for the countless hours of hard work that led to an amazing, eye-opening, worthwhile and truly wonderful experience.

We especially appreciate all the “extra effort,” you put it and  we wouldn’t have changed a thing.  Our last 3 days in Victoria Falls were just what we needed to decompress.  Devil’s Pool was the highlight, but we loved the sunset cruise as well as our walk through the falls - it was still remarkable.  A million thanks again!

Experience of a lifetime

Kerry and Clare, thank you both for making my first visit to South Africa the experience of a lifetime. Every aspect of the trip - the accommodations, the meals, the incredible itinerary across Cape Town, Winelands, Johannesburg and Kruger - were so thoughtfully planned and executed. I’ve returned home with a full heart and incredible memories. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Grateful

Our trip to South Africa was designed by Kerry and Clare with beautiful hotels, absolutely reliable transfers, fantastic sites, fabulous food and wonderful people. Four destinations in 3 weeks, 4 airport transfers and numerous car transfers. All flowed seamlessly and we were so grateful for the care they took in tailoring our trip to our needs.  We can't say enough about the service of Here's My Card. We would recommend them to anyone considering travel in South Africa and beyond.

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!
