Incredible experience

Michelle and I truly had an unforgettable time. It was such an incredible experience. Firstly, we want to thank you for all of your recommendations and your efforts in coordinating our itinerary. I've travelled around the world without ever using a travel agent, but I'm so glad that we were referred to you. You certainly made our trip what it was. You made things simple and easy.

We absolutely loved all four of the properties that we stayed at. Personally, I would recommend all of them. Our stay at Singita was by far the highlight of our trip. They've simply perfected the art of making memories. I've never experienced such service and luxury. Michelle and I are both not really into animals and as you know, we had some reservations about doing a four-day safari, but there's something about the safari experience that is just magical. We did not want to leave.

Thanks again for everything! We really can't express how grateful we are. This trip will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Unceasing attention to our requirements

All-in-all another memorable and relaxing, albeit full, holiday in SA. What a beautiful, exciting and interesting country. I’m sure we only ‘scratched the surface’ when we visit for two weeks on holiday but we will be returning to explore further in the years ahead. Our safari experience was exceptional. The Ranger and Tracker ensured we had some superb drives and our expectations were surpassed as we were able to see some stunning wildlife engrossed in their daily lives- lions mating, leopard eating a kill, leopards in trees, elephant herd crossing a river to name but a few ‘events’.

We really enjoyed meeting you and wish you well with your developing business. We thank you Clare & Kerry for your unceasing attention to our requirements.

Totally custom to us

We just want to tell you that we had a wonderful holiday. We loved South Africa, weather was great, food, people and the outstanding beauty made it a trip to remember.

We just want to say thank you for organising such a wonderful trip for us. My daughter had used you for her honeymoon and she said if you are going to South Africa, there is only company you should contact and that of course was you. You listened, advised and organised what can only be described as a perfect holiday for my partner and I. The itinerary was spot on and the places we stayed were perfection. We particularly liked that the itinerary was totally custom fit to us, and you got it just right, even the weather!

Incredible attention to detail

Here’s My Card arranged a week in Zanzibar for us following a few days safari in the Masi Mara. In true HMC fashion, no option was left unexplored and the level of patience and attention to detail was, as always, incredible. This was the third trip HMC has arranged for us and we have never been disappointed, and this holiday was no exception. Like all trips arranged by Clare and Kerry, their trademark travel bible / itinerary was sent to us a few days prior to travel outlining the details of each day with traveller tips, restaurant recommendations and emergency contact details.

On arrival, and to our surprise, they had already arranged a late checkout for our departure, negotiated a complimentary couples massage and champagne in the room. HMC take the stress out of arranging a holiday and I would not visit anywhere in Africa without speaking to Clare and Kerry. As always, a massive thank you for from the Chrysostomou’s, and we look forward to starting a new adventure with you later on this year!

Adventure of our dreams

Kerry & Clare created the opulent adventure of our dreams! The girls took the time to understand our hopes, wishes, and "travel personality" to individualize an experience that was uniquely ours, and wonderful beyond belief!

They helped us navigate an unfamiliar but exciting and beautiful place to give us the best dining, hospitality, luxury, culture and adventure in South Africa! It was truly the experience of a lifetime! We look forward to our next fantastic odyssey with you, and can't thank you enough!

Wonderful time

Just wanted to thank you for organizing the perfect holiday! We had such a wonderful time. All of the hotels, restaurants and activity recommendations were fantastic. We love South Africa and can't wait to return. Thanks again.

Memorable & special holiday

I just wanted to say how fantastic the whole holiday was. I cannot praise the level of service we experienced enough. Kerry & Clare, thank you for all your help in finding the right places for us and taking all the hard work out of organising everything - it was a lovely, memorable and very special holiday.

Kensington Place was an intimate hotel and the staff took great personal care of us. We particularly loved the private hike and tour of Kirstenbosch with Lauren & thought that the restaurants in Cape Town were all excellent! Our Babylonstoren cottage definitely had the 'wow' factor, being reserved for honeymooners made us feel very special (bearing in mind were celebrating our 25th Anniversary). The tranquillity & beauty of the gardens was blissful & we were pampered and left stress free. We thought it was heaven.
And then there was Kwandwe - this was the jewel in the crown for me, it lived up to my expectations and some more. I cannot praise the ranger Ryan enough for his in depth knowledge of the wildlife, the behaviour of the animals, the flora, birds, habitat and history of the Reserve, Kwandwe's own David Attenborough, but much, much younger!!

The only problem is, South Africa has set the standards very high so I am going to have to come back. I will treasure every memory of this trip.

Unbeatable service

Trip number 3 with Here’s My Card & it keeps getting better! This time it was back to Cape Town, sometime in the Winelands and a truly wonderful 5 days in Botswana on Safari.

We had a wonderful time and we really do appreciate all your little extra touches and suggestions of places to visit (we really think you are unbeatable) in fact we spent a lot of the trip talking about your service and handing your card out to other travellers we met.

Because of the amazing things booked for us by Clare & Kerry we are now completely addicted to travelling in Africa, & I think it’s safe to say we will be back for trip number four!

We would recommend their service to anyone without hesitation.

Trip of a lifetime

Thank you for planning what was really the trip of a lifetime…so far, as I hope we will book with you again soon. We absolutely fell in love with South Africa. Hermanus and Birkenhead House were spectacular. The whales playing in the surf while we were drinking wine upon our arrival was a perfect start. Cage diving with great whites was a dream come true. Franschhoek was stunning. Singita Lebombo blew us away. Our guide and tracker were incredible and made each game drive more interesting than the one before. We even did a mountain biking safari and cycled past 7 giraffes!

Our time in Cape Town and Camps Bay was also amazing, as we had the amazing experience of visiting Robben Island the day after Nelson Mandela passed away. We can't say enough good things about our experience and the service you provided, except that we look forward to our next adventure with you!

Always went the extra mile

We both had an absolutely amazing time in South Africa and Mozambique - thank you so much for putting together the trip of a lifetime for us! All of the places we went to were excellent - we were particularly impressed by how personal the service was everywhere we went. It is difficult to pick the overall highlight of the trip as there were so many! However, we both thought that the safari was overall the best part of an exceptional trip. The service, facilities and food were all superb, Kenneth and George (our ranger and tracker) were brilliant and incredibly knowledgeable, and we were amazed at the variety and number of animals that we saw during our four days there.

Thanks again for all of your hard work to organise this trip for us. We really appreciated the fact that you always went the extra mile for us, and dealt with the problems we had with the Mozambique accommodation so calmly and efficiently! Thanks in particular for all you did in the week before our wedding when we had quite a lot of other things to do at the same time! We definitely could not have organised a trip even half as good without you, and would not hesitate to recommend Here's My Card to our family and friends.

Brilliantly well organised

I wish to express our very considerable thanks for arranging such a wonderful holiday for Hilary and I earlier this year. As you know, we came to you as a result of a suggestion by our daughter, Sophie. When I first told Sophie that we were contemplating such a holiday and gave her our proposals (from a large established UK company) her response was 'I think we can do better than that, Daddy'! How right she was!! Your thoroughness, professionalism and patience(!) was in evidence from the start of the booking process and continued throughout.

The safari was the highlight. During our time at this magical place we were fortunate to see 35 different specious of animals and birds! Our guide, Jonty, and tracker, Sibu, were absolutely first class and we could not have been in better hands. All in all this was the most wonderful and magical experience and the highlight to a brilliantly well organised holiday. Thank you so much.

Treasure forever

Where do we start? Clare and Kerry put an awesome 10 day break together for us. Their attention to detail made the trip very special. Nothing was missed.

Golf at Leopard Creek to start with, any golfer's dream with wildlife flowing up the adjacent Crocodile river. We then moved onto Sabi Sands, which was simply magical. This little gem hidden away in the tranquillity of the bush, overflowing with so much more wildlife than just the big 5. Total paradise topped with star gazing at night; we've never seen the galaxies glisten so vividly at night. Safari is a lifetime experience that will be etched in our memories forever. 

We knew our stopover in Cape Town would have to be pretty special to match up and the girls nailed it again. Clare and Kerry put together the perfect itinerary and made an action packed trip totally hassle free, and full of pleasant surprises. All the transfers worked like clockwork, and every restaurant that was booked or recommended was just spot on. The chopper trip around Cape Town was also a great way to round off the trip.

Clare and Kerry thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your wonderful ideas and unique itinerary that made our holiday something we will treasure forever.

Made to feel so special

What a trip! Camps Bay, Hermanus, Franschhoek, and for us the jewel in the crown- safari at the stunning Chitwa Chitwa Lodge in Kruger Park. The accommodation and attention to detail in every location was quite simply stunning and we were made to feel so special and so very welcome.
The excellent relationships and knowledge 'Here's My Card' have with all the hotels and lodges recommended is obvious from the second you arrive. Greeted by name, you instantly settle into your new surrounds and the holiday starts immediately!
We didn't want to come home and want to thank Here's My Card for the adventure of a lifetime!

An amazing holiday

We wanted to thank you for organising one of the best holidays we have ever had. Your choice of hotels and restaurants were superb. The level of attention we received everywhere was really impressive. We really had the holiday of a life time.

We will sing your praises to everyone we know looking for a travel agent in SA.

Outstanding support

We had a great time at Phinda Safari Lodge in Kwa Zulu Natal - the service, staff, facilities, rangers, trackers were all top notch. We also had a relaxing and what-we-needed beach day with very courteous staff accommodating our needs. 

And of course, the animals all behaved appropriately and showed themselves according to script. Of course, the pleasure would have not been possible without the outstanding support from your company in identifying, comparing and working out all the detailed logistics. We are extremely pleased with our safari adventure at Phinda and wish you the best of luck for 2013!

Here's My Card is easily the best travel agency

My wife Bronny and I booked our entire month-long trip through Africa in December 2012 with Clare & Kerry at Here's My Card. From the very start to the very end we were provided with absolutely first-class service in all respects. We were on safari through the Masai Mara then into various parts of the Serengeti. All locations were absolutely breathtaking, with the scenery, wildlife and sheer remoteness creating an unbelievable experience. From there we travelled to Zanzibar for some R&R over Christmas and then travelled to South Africa for the Garden Route from Port Elizabeth down to Cape Town. Our hotel in Cape Town was brilliant - even nicer than our own apartment at home! We dined in style, did a challenging but very rewarding climb up Table Mountain ....Cape Town offers everything you could want plus more.

Everything involved in our trip was booked by Here's My Card: flights (trust me, there is a lot of internal flights when moving camps on Safari), camps (there are some dodgy ones out there, but ours were amazing), dinners, cars, hikes, B&Bs and even more. Clare & Kerry handled everything with ease, even when I had to change a night's accommodation & flights.

Bronny & I have done a lot of travel throughout the World & I can say with 100% certainty that Here's My Card is easily the best travel agency we have ever used. If you are planning a trip to Africa, there is only 1 place to go, as you know it will be AWESOME!

Very professional

We recently visited Cape Town over the festive season. Having previously travelled to the city, I asked Kerry & Clare to recommend some activities other than the usual sightseeing. This included paragliding and a heli-trip over the peninsula. Nothing to get the blood flowing quite like jumping off a mountain with a kite attached to your back. The paragliding was an absolutely fantastic experience.

The "flight" provided some breathtaking views and a whole new perspective of this beautiful city. The heli-trip was accompanied by a hotel pickup, and then take-off from the V&A waterfront. We flew over the entire cape peninsula before diverting to Constantia Uitsig wine farm where the girls had planned a limousine reception. Upon landing we were shuttled off to La Colombe restaurant for a rather decadent lunch. Kerry & Clare were very professional and most helpful at all times - I will definitely be recommending Here's My Card to my friends.

Planned so caringly & meticulously

Here's to our second holiday organised by Here's My Card. It was the most amazing and unforgettable trip, planned so caringly and meticulously every step of the way. To my utter surprise, I got engaged whilst in a helicopter over the stunning mountains on our way to lunch in Constantia (as you do!) I couldn't have dreamt up a more perfect place for such a special memory. It didn't end there either!

Franschhoek is probably the prettiest place I've visited and La Residence was exceptional and worth every penny! The Kruger safari that followed was another highlight and a must for all animal lovers. We saw all the big 5 and more, and even got to see a leopard kill a baby impala, only for a hyena to come out of nowhere attempting to steal the kill before the leopard swiftly ran up the tree with it. Truly incredible! Before coming home to reality, we had a relaxing 5 nights on the beach in Mozambique. An absolutely stunning island and great place to relax and unwind. Not to mention the perfect weather and a great scuba diving location! It was an amazing holiday for so many reasons and you helped take it from 90% to 110%. Roll on holiday no. 3 with Here's My Card!

Fantastic itinerary

Having only 1 week holiday left my wife and I were not sure we'd get to do everything we had heard so much about in Cape Town and the surrounding winelands. However Here's My Card put together a fantastic itinerary for us encompassing everything we wanted. The attention to detail was great from excellent hotels, on-trend restaurants and brilliant wine tasting. It was one of the best trips we have ever done. If you want to impress your other half and look like you've done some actual research for once, just outline some rough plans to Here's My Card and they'll put something perfect together for you. We would like to say a big thank you for all your help - we thought the trip was amazing.

Complete professionalism

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!
