Truly incredible

We had the trip of a lifetime, thanks to Kerry and the amazing team at Here’s My Card. Everything was planned to perfection, so all we had to do was show up and enjoy along the amazing experiences! Kerry found us the best local spots in Cape Town and set us up with expert local guides who became our friends. Our safari experience at Lion Sands was truly  incredible - the most luxurious accommodations in the midst of an unimaginably gorgeous natural wilderness. We capped off our stay with the Treehouse experience, something we will never forget. 

 Thank you Kerry for a bucket list trip of our dreams!

We cannot recommend Kerry and Here’s My Card Travel highly enough! From start to finish, Kerry made planning our trip to South Africa an absolute dream. Her attention to detail and exceptional organizational skills ensured that every aspect of our itinerary was seamless.

Kerry’s responsiveness and constant communication gave us complete peace of mind throughout the process, and it was clear she genuinely cared about making our trip unforgettable.

Incredible

We had the most magnificent honeymoon organised (again) by Here’s My Card Travel. This was my 4th trip with them and Clare designed the most incredible and memorable honeymoon for us. We had a brilliant time in Kruger at Tanda Tula and they really went above and beyond for us during our stay. We also had a fun-packed time in Cape Town and then squeezed in another fabulous safari in Botswana. Having the elephants at the camp were amazing to watch.

Thank you so much again for your patience and invaluable guidance in planning our honeymoon! We will be back.

Special & Memorable Honeymoon

Our honeymoon was the most special and memorable trip either of us have ever taken. From the beginning, Kerry walked us through the budgeting and planning process and she thoughtfully curated every detail and made the travel easy. She was very organized and conveyed that to us with itineraries and schedules. 

We were absolutely blown away by the accommodations, staff, and experiences from which Kerry picked for us. It’s like she knew exactly what we wanted. We can’t thank her or Here’s My Card enough for planning the trip of a lifetime. Thank you!

Exceptional

My family and I recently returned home from a wonderful holiday in South Africa. 3 fabulous days in stunning Cape Town and 5 amazing safari days at the brilliant Tanda Tula lodge in Kruger. We’ve never been to South Africa or on a safari before. We are so pleased that our first experience was organised by Here’s My Card  and the exceptional Kerry Collins! 

Her professionalism, organisational skills and meticulous attention to detail made our experience truly special. Thank you Kerry for organising a memorable holiday that my family and I will never forget!’

Wonderful

Our safari trip to Kruger was really wonderful and thank you to Clare for all of her help in organising everything! The team at Saseka were so nice and the service was fantastic. We absolutely loved our room - I couldn’t believe how beautiful and spacious it was - even for a ‘tent’!

Kruger definitely delivered - we saw a ton of animals and all in all it was an amazing trip so, thank you!

Unforgettable experience

A heartfelt thank you to Clare for recommending the safari camp that became the highlight of our trip. Her selection was spot-on, blending adventure with the tranquility of nature. The camp exceeded our expectations with its authentic charm and comfort. Clare's insight into our desires made for an unforgettable experience. Her professionalism ensured our safari was a seamless and remarkable adventure.

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.

A honeymoon we'll never forget

My wife and I had to push our wedding back a year due to the pandemic and as a result had to figure out completely new honeymoon plans. Coming from the US, we were very uncertain of how to navigate the logistics of international travel but thankfully Kerry and the Here’s My Card team handled all of that for us — and on short notice! We couldn’t be happier with how the trip was organized — the location, the service, and the events were exactly what we were hoping for in a trip like this, down to the last detail. Even when the airlines changed flight paths on us, Kerry quickly figured out new options to turn a mishap into an opportunity to experience more. Thank you Kerry and team for planning us a honeymoon we’ll never forget!

Seamless

Clare organised a wonderful family holiday with a great itinerary.  It was seamlessly organised so a huge thank you.

It was a fun experience putting it together with her guidance and knowledge.  We managed to stay at really fantastic places and eat at some amazing restaurants, many of which are really hard to book.  

There were many highlights but one was being able to sit in bed and look at the Southern Right whales in the bay at Hermanus.  I think for our younger daughter it was going in the shark cage and eyeballing sharks!! We very much hope to revisit Cape Town as we have many more things we want to see and experience.

Thank you for all your help in masterminding our trip and for dealing with the last minute changes we had to put into place.

Expectations surpassed

This is our second trip to South Africa, booking with Clare and Here’s my Card Travel – expectations were once again surpassed!  Through Clare’s vast amount of knowledge of the country and her understanding of what we liked to see from on our first trip, we were provided with a fantastically detailed itinerary for our trip along the Garden Route.  The itinerary included maps and lots of ideas of things to see and do during our travels from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town. .

We stayed in small boutique hotels which were all very personal and friendly, food amazing and each one differed in scenery – either being part of a lovely country estate,  on the edge of a cliff overlooking the whales passing by, or in the lovely seaside resort of Camps Bay. 

Nothing was too much trouble for Clare when we were booking the trip and even during the trip when  Clare touched base with us to ensure things were running smoothly.

South Africa is a very special place to visit – it is so incredibly varied in landscape and there is so much to see and do  - I have already highly recommended Here’s my Card Travel  to a number of our friends back home and I hope we will return to see more of this wonderful country again one day.

Mind blowing

Heres My Card made all the difference for the best trip ever. What a blessing it was to know that we were in such good hands and that every detail was covered and planned to a tee. Couldn't have asked for a thing more. 

Cape Town - What an amazing city. The Silo Hotel was one of the coolest places I’ve ever seen. Top to bottom it was incredible. Staff, service, rooms, food, all knocked our socks off. It was the ultimate way to step into our African trip and I’m sad for everyone I know who hasn't been there! Words cant describe how much we both loved it. We loved all your recommendations but Chefs Warehouse was one of the best meals we had all trip. I loved the vibe of the city and the views were incredible. How lucky you are to get to spend so much time in such an incredible place.  

La Residence - Take me back, please. Edward and his staff are unmatched in service and hospitality. Easily the most beautiful place I've ever seen. We loved getting to know everyone there and couldn't have been taken better care of. We really felt so welcomed and are lucky to have gotten to know such an amazing place and such amazing people. I can’t wait to go back. We loved hanging at the hotel but also walking into town and shopping around. Couldn't have been better. 

Singita Boulders - Amazing. Only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. They took such good care of us. Morning and afternoon drives were my favorite. We saw everything we could dream of and staff and service were top notch. 

Azura - The best way to end the trip. We had the best time literally doing nothing. We fished and toured the island but our favorite part was just relaxing on the beach and enjoying the peace and quiet. Rooms were amazing and service was exceptional. 

Again Kerry, I can’t think you and Clare enough for planning the best trip that both Alice and I have ever been on. We've both been lucky enough to have traveled to some cool places so that isn't said lightly. Here’s My Card was so professional the whole time. We felt like you were right there with us the whole time if we had any questions or concerns about anything. We didn't just feel like we were being looked after by all the hotels that we stayed in but it felt like we were being looked after by you the whole time as well. It is mind blowing how you guys pull off what you do. Cant wait to go back and use you guys again.

Extraordinary honeymoon

It was such an extraordinary trip - and we were so well taken care of by you guys - from the moment we landed on the ground in Jo’burg, until the moment we boarded the plane back to LA. Everywhere we went was so special in its own way - Sindabezi was such a beautiful start and their attention to detail was truly extraordinary. The dinner on the sampan, the picnic lunch, all the little details and lovely service in the room.

The andBeyond lodges were all so amazing. I'd say Nxabega had the best guides that we had the whole trip - AK and Equator - they were really special and fun and so enthusiastic about what they did - their love of their craft really showed through. And every night the lodge staff did something sweet honeymoon-wise, which we so appreciated even if we didn't always have room in our stomachs to consume it!

At Xudum the staff went above and beyond to do lovely honeymoon treats - drawing us a bath one night, with Amarula beside it, and creating an extraordinary honeymoon dinner layout complete with paper lanterns and a firepit and a chalkboard with our names on it. Oh! And we did this wonderful Makoro ride which ended at a floating pop-up bar with drinks and sundowner snacks in the middle of the reeds - amazing. We really were sad to leave each place.

And then Benguerra. How stunning. I have to say when we got there we realized we should have stayed a week! There's so much fun stuff to do that we were far from getting bored and it was so nice at the end of the trip to just chill and not be on too much of a schedule. The casinahs are spectacular and our butler Paolo was extraordinary.

The whole trip was really so special and so detailed and thoughtful; you guys were such great caretakers of our experience - from the moment we landed to the moment we left, we were in excellent hands. Thank you thank you for creating an extraordinary honeymoon - we are already thinking of what next trip we could do!

Fantastic holiday

It’s actually hard to put into words how fantastic the holiday was - we have all agreed it was the best one ever. In practical terms, the travelling worked brilliantly. It was such a help being met at Johannesburg and being whisked through immigration and taken to the gate for the next flight. We loved the airport at Skukuza - it set the tone for the safari. Tinga was brilliant. The staff were so welcoming and friendly. The food was wonderful as was the villa and pool. It really felt quite magical and the safaris were such a fantastic experience. We saw the big 5 and each trip was different. Our guides were brilliant as well.

Azura was unbelievable! I have never seen such beautiful beaches. The whole experience was so amazing. Our hosts were really lovely and set up meals in different places - on the beach under the stars, breakfast on the beach. The food was fabulous as well. The villa was beautiful, with a great pool. We also did the island-hopping trip where we did some snorkelling and then lunch on what felt like our own deserted island. I honestly can’t put into words how much we loved both parts of the holiday. It felt like we were away much longer than a week in a good way.

So, thank you for arranging this for us. Not sure we can top this holiday. Maybe we’ll just have to do it again!!

A honeymoon of a lifetime

Words cannot describe how grateful we are for Clare and Here's My Card Travel. Her expertise, amazing customer service, speedy responses, and genuinely getting to know us made her THE BEST travel agent. She truly cares and listens to what her clients want out of their vacation and goes above and beyond to make it happen. Our honeymoon in Zambia and South Africa is a trip we will remember for a lifetime. We felt taken care of every single step of the way. We trusted her to plan this memorable vacation and she did a fantastic job. 

From restaurant recommendations and bookings, to sight seeing tips, Clare is someone who is truly passionate about what she does. And not to mention, she's so well connected and made sure we got the royal treatment everywhere we went. We got private tours, along with extra little perks at all of our locations we stayed at and dined at. She pays attention to those little details that make her clients feel special.

It's safe to say we are happy customers! With that said, we can't wait to go back to Africa so she can help us plan our next vacation. We are officially addicted to safaris and are counting down the days until we work with Clare again. We highly recommend Clare and Here's My Card Travel. She will help you plan a trip of a lifetime! Clare is like a magic genie, you tell her what you want, and she just makes it happen. Thank YOU, Clare! For all you've done to make our honeymoon the most magical experience. The memories we've made on this trip will be shared with loved ones for many years to come. And of course, we're personally recommending Clare to everyone we know who's considering a vacation in Africa. If you want the best experience, you have to go with the best... and Clare is the absolute best! From the bottom of our happy hearts, thank you thank you!!!

Planned Perfectly

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.

Amazing Honeymoon

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.

Seamless

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.
