This was our second trip with Clare and Here’s My Card, and we would just like to convey our thanks for making our trip quite memorable, the details were immaculate, the hire car, the numerous transport pickups in 3 countries, internal flight details, the hotels, all all the excursions, which were all superb - utterly flawless. All in all a memorable trip - Thank you Clare!! And thank you for the complimentary bottle of Sauvignon Blanc at our first accommodation.

Thank you, Clare, for organizing an unforgettable anniversary for us. Returning to the place where we got married brought back so many wonderful memories, and we had yet another incredible experience. Marataba truly is a magical place – from the lodge and the breathtaking views to the amazing wildlife sightings and the overall bush adventure, everything was absolutely extraordinary.
We deeply appreciate all the effort you put into arranging this special trip for us and will definitely stay in touch!

Kerry handled every detail and tailor made our mini-moon with so much care. The entire experience was magical, thoughtfully personalized, and she even kept to our tight budget. Thank you for making our return to South Africa completely unforgettable!

A big thank you to Clare for helping plan and execute my maiden African holiday! Clare worked with me as a trusted advisor and planner to design my itinerary by patiently asking questions, proposing several options and giving her honest opinion to make the right choices. From overcoming logistical challenges to planning a detailed activity list, the whole experience was perfect. And the actual trip? It went beyond my expectations! Definitely coming back!

Kerry was an absolute pleasure to work with. She planned an outstanding trip for us around a springtime wedding we were attending in the Winelands. We were so well taken care of at every property she chose, from an urban oasis in Joberg and an intimate mountain safari lodge to a stylish guest house in Franschhoek and a delightful Victorian inn in Cape Town. She developed a balanced itinerary filled with excellent restaurant, winery and sightseeing recommendations. She shared her considerable expertise on all matters preparing us well for our trip. We give Kerry our highest recommendation and wish that she could plan all aspects of our lives.

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!!

I am not sure how I will book travel going forward without Clare. We had a seamless trip (which is saying something when travelling with 3 kids!) and it was made so much easier by the attention to detail that Clare had considered.
Although I am sure that much of our experience was down to Kirkman’s Camp itself, I couldn’t help but get the impression that we were being looked after over and above the usual, due to Clare’s relationships and reputation. We even received a document with everything we needed to know, including how to navigate the grey areas of tipping!
Thank you for everything Clare and your team. I cannot wait to book our next trip through you.

When deciding to celebrate our parents 50th wedding anniversary abroad, we didn’t know where to begin … then along came Kerry & Clare who saved the day. They expertly and patiently selected the best place to meet all our requirements as we were a multi-generational family of 7, and we could not have been happier with the result!
Mozambique was blissful and we all had a spectacular time enjoying all of the delights from snorkelling the two mile reef to riding in the ocean on horseback. We enjoyed magical dinners under the stars and cruising alongside dolphin to Pansy Island.
Thank you Here’s My Card for your meticulous and considered approach to a very special occasion and one that we will now never forget.

I just wanted to let you know we’re sadly back from South Africa, having had an amazing time.
Londolozi was incredible and we had great fun with all our friends there. Staff were all brilliant, as they were in all the places we stayed.
All the hotels you kindly arranged were fantastic. We absolutely loved Birkenhead House (our favourite of all the places we stayed) and will definitely return there one day.
I just want to say a very big thank you to you for all your help in making our holiday just wonderful.
We will definitely return to South Africa. It’s the most beautiful country, stunning scenery and lovely, friendly people. I do need to diet now though as we’ve eaten so much !!!
We will totally recommend Here’s my card travel and will be in touch again when we return.

Here's My Card came highly recommended by a friend and provided exceptional service with regard to our family trip to South Africa. We were travelling with our son and daughter (aged 19 and 21) and Kerry and Clare thought of everything and managed to formulate an itinerary that suited us all. Everything organised down to the finest detail and nothing was too much trouble.
The booklet provided with our blow by blow itinerary drew gasps of amazement wherever we went! We enjoyed a wonderful stay in the Winelands, followed by a busy and action-packed stay in Cape Town. We explored Table Mountain, visited Robben Island and also managed to fit in some whale watching. However, the final leg of our journey was a safari at Tarkuni Lodge at Tswalu. We were completely blown away by the number and variety of animals that we saw at very close quarters and our guides went above and beyond the call of duty to provide us with a really magical experience.
I can't recommend Kerry and Clare highly enough for their hard work and staying in constant touch to ensure that everything went according to plan. We can't wait until we can return to South Africa again. We have already had a number of friends express and interest in enjoying a similar experience, so will be passing your details on to them soonest.

We had such an incredible time!! Truly, the trip of a lifetime. We are both bummed to be back to reality and miss being surrounded by elephants and going on game drives and hiking Table Mountain!
I can't tell you how amazing Botswana was. Really, no words can do it justice. And Sandibe in particular was like a dream. Nothing compares! We were so so sad to leave! We got incredibly lucky and saw so many amazing animals, and we already miss game drives and stops for tea and just generally seeing elephants everywhere.
You guys really went above and beyond with everything and we've been so well taken care of. Thank you so much again for everything. We will most definitely call on you guys to plan our return trip!! I wish you guys planned trips all over the world cause we would use you for everything!

Thank you, Clare and Kerry, for crafting such a memorable trip to South Africa for Seth and me. You seamlessly integrated our preferences into each aspect of our trip, creating a personalized and luxurious experience. No detail of planning was overlooked which made our vacation worry- and stress-free. Each day brought new and exciting activities: cultural - and adventure-filled excursions, dining that rivals our hometown, and safaris with expert, personable guides.
Seth and I truly appreciate your patience, advice, and dedication to creating a customized experience that we will always remember. We look forward to working with you the next time we travel to South Africa! Thanks again!

We are safely back home, after one of the most wonderful trips we ever made! And this as our honeymoon after a beautiful wedding day, which we celebrated with lots of joy, love and friendship. I surprised Rita on this day with our destination, and it was "spot-on" right choice! She really loved it, so already much 'pre-joy' before actually leaving.
The trip you have set out for us, has in one word been fantastic. All details were taken care of, and we have not encountered any problems, whatsoever. People both in the hotels and at the activities knew about our honeymoon, were well-informed, and have treated us very nicely with little surprises, attentions, etc.
The mix between rest, travel and activities was well-balanced. The activities were a good mix of everything, and all nice to do; Lauren and Keith are not only good guides, but both lovely people too. You apparently know the best places to eat, because many people have confirmed the selection of restaurants; all were very good to excellent (stunning view while lunching at La Graff). Both La Residence and Birkenhead Villa were, although very different, of a special class indeed. This type of personal service at this level in such stylish and beautiful surroundings are indeed very "honeymoon"-worthy....
So once again, thank you for making our honeymoon such an amazing experience. You have done an outstanding job!

I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted out of my honeymoon but soon realized that there were so many websites, offers and options that I didn’t have any idea where to start or who to trust. I contacted Here’s My Card on the basis of a friend’s recommendation and am very happy that I did.
Kerry and Clare helped define my search, set out the best options, answer all of my questions and respond to my numerous requests for changes to the itinerary. I never felt like I was being upsold and it was a very low stress process. It almost goes without saying that the honeymoon itself was essentially perfect. I’d recommend Here’s My Card travel to my friends and family without hesitation.

A huge thank you to Here’s My Card for organising what was a truly memorable and spectacular honeymoon. After a short call Here’s My Card went to work on various itineraries and options. The end result was 16 days beyond our dreams encompassing non-stop beautiful scenery, fantastic meals, amazing animal sightings and some well earned time to relax by the beach.
The plan took us from Franschhoek to Hermanus, Cape Town, Phinda and then lastly Mozambique. The features of each property were perfect and married up to our expectations, the activity suggestions added to the excitement and the restaurant suggestions offered great variety and sublime quality. We have never eaten and drank so much in such a short space of time! Thanks for making us a few kg's heavier!!
We still cannot believe we did so much, saw so many amazing sights and began to appreciate what a beautiful and diverse country South Africa is. Our safari experience was simply incredible ... everything about Phinda just exudes quality and this was certainly the highlight of our trip.
The service provided by Here’s My Card was of the highest quality throughout. I was particularly impressed by the in-depth knowledge of each property and responsiveness to my numerous queries. They were head and shoulders above other travel agents that I considered using. The detailed itinerary provided on arrival just topped this off and demonstrated the level of attention to detail involved. All we had to do was open the relevant page each day and follow the plan!
In summary, Here’s My Card delivered and surpassed both of our expectations. The extra personal touches and level of planning mean we'll certainly be back in touch on our next trip to Africa and will be recommending Here's my Card to friends and family.
Thanks again - simply amazing!

What an amazing trip! Thank you so much for everything, it was incredible and we're so sad to be back. We loved every single one of the camps in Botswana, the people were incredible, the food was the best we've ever had and finally the wildlife was unreal, something we never could have imagined and I think we will definitely go back.
We were treated like kings and it was fascinating seeing the guides and the trackers be so passionate about their job; their knowledge and skills were alarmingly good. Botswana definitely stole our hearts, I honestly don't think I will ever forget the feeling of complete and utter awe for the people and the land. Mozambique was also an incredible experience and we were truly spoilt, it was the perfect ending to the trip ... The privacy of Azura was perfect, we felt like we had the whole island to ourselves, and they were right we completely fell in love with our butler Prosper, he was so caring that it was hard to leave him behind. You created the perfect honeymoon for us, it was so well organised, the attention to detail was exceptional and nothing was left to chance, so thank you from the bottom of our hearts because it really was an experience of a lifetime.

We have waited for 35 years to get to South Africa and Clare and Kerry's itinerary for us was everything we wanted and more! The trip was amazing and considering we were probably the clients from hell (as 35 yrs is a long time) they never complained about all my questioning and emails instead treated us and our destinations with complete professionalism. We felt we had them on board whenever we needed them. We didn't of course as the trip went as smooth as clockwork. Even the animals more or less behaved themselves! Every destination was a different experience and met our demands 100%! All our accommodation was exactly what we loved and as we self drove and were independent, we didn't have to put up with many other tourists. We thank Clare and Kerry for our very special holiday of a lifetime and only wish they would help us regularly travel the world!
