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!

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.

Thank you Clare for organising yet another fabulous trip for this. This time Six Senses Maldives! It really is a piece of heaven. Very unique and everyone is so helpful and welcoming. Thank you as always and I am sure we will be back!

Trip of a Lifetime

This was our fourth trip with Here's My Card, and it was the best one yet! We cannot thank Clare & Kerry enough for executing our first trip to Africa with our kids! Unlike our previous trips (honeymoon, 30th birthday, etc) we really looked to Clare to create an itinerary that was appropriate to bring our 5 year old kids where they were enjoying each moment as much as we were.

I am beyond impressed with every detail of expertise and thoughtfulness that Clare brough to the table allowing all of us to truly enjoy the beautiful serenity of South Africa. If you are thinking of bringing your children to Africa I highly recommend Here's My Card to help alleviate the stresses of traveling with your kids and plan a picture perfect trip of a lifetime.

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!

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.

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.

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!’

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 …….

Expectations Exceeded

We just want to say a massive thank you for organising our trip to Gondwana Game Reserve. It far exceeded our expectations and we were blown away by the organisation and professionalism of the staff there. We will be recommending your company to our friends and family and will definitely be coming back to organise our next trip!

Can’t wait to come back

We had the most fantastic time in Cape Town and the Winelands. Having never been to South Africa and with only a week to spend, planning and preparation was vital. Clare managed to create a fantastic itinerary allowing us to experience both Cape Town and the wonderful Winelands without ever feeling stressed or pressed for time. Communication prior and during the holiday was personal and efficient making us feel safe and looked after. We can’t wait to start planning our next trip and the first thing we will do is reach out to Clare and Here’s My Card.

Another epic adventure

I wanted to do something special with my brother when he visited in February. I have wanted to go to Zimbabwe for years - so this provided the perfect excuse. In true HMC style I received a slick itinerary that was great value for money and awesome in experience. Ursula’s Homestead at Victoria Falls is a gorgeous home from home - luxurious simplicity. A warm team that catered to our every need and altered their menu to suit our preferences. As a surprise from our parents Kerry and Clare organised a sunset cruise on the Zambezi where we saw incredible wildlife, landscape and shared many G+Ts with great people. The team at Ursula’s organised guides to take us on a private walking tour of Victoria Falls where we saw (and got soaked by) nature at its finest. I highly recommend the high adrenaline option of swimming in Angels or Devils Pool that hangs over the Falls followed by a boat ride and breakfast at Livingstone Island. It was a true lifetime experience only made possible by Here’s My Card - my go to girls for all Southern African experiences. Until the next trip - Thank you again xxx

Unforgettable

Kerry organised a wonderful holiday in South Africa for me and my daughter. I was impressed with her approach from the get go. After several zoom meetings discussing the options and interests, Kerry pulled together a bespoke trip that was unforgettable. We took in Cape Town, Winelands and Kruger National Park.

All of our bookings ran seamlessly our days were full of fabulous activities (Harley Davidson tours, shopping, wine tastings) we ate in beautiful restaurants, visited stunning venues, and stayed in small boutique hotels that had a very high standard of customer service.  Finishing off our journey with a safari at Tinga. Back at home now some three weeks later – I am still enjoying it in my head. Her insider knowledge was a gamechanger!

Family vacation of a lifetime

We used Kerry as our travel agent to plan our family trip to South Africa. Our original intent was to go for a wedding which was amazing, however because of Kerry’s knowledge and experience of the area our wedding trip turned out to be the family vacation of a lifetime!  Wow!  

Kerry put together a trip that was better than our wildest dreams. She picked all the hotels which were gorgeous and intimate with supremely superior customer service. She also made reservations at numerous restaurants which was so nice and relaxing. When she suggested a hike up Table Mt on our 2nd day we thought she was crazy…but boy was she right. With a guide we had quite the adventure cheering each other on as we hiked the mountain. 

She also knew the wedding itinerary in Stellenbosch so she planned for transportation to and from all of the four day events…which made everything so much more fun! Our hotel in Franschhoek was fabulous and located right in the center of this yummy little upscale town with excellent restaurants and shopping.

Finally our amazing trip was capped off with a 4 day safari at Lions Sands Lodge. I can’t say enough about Lions Sands. It was simply superb in every way…from the friendly hands on guide (Anthony!) and tracker (Andrees)..to the wonderful food, pool by the river, and wildlife that roamed around. By he end of the 4 days we felt as if we made best friends with everyone who worked there! The main event of course were the twice a day game rides which presented a once in a lifetime experience for our family to see the Big 5 as well as so many other wonderful animals.

It truly was the family vacation of a lifetime and one that the four of us will never forget!

Wonderful Experience

We were introduced to Clare by an American friend whose wedding we were attending last December. We had never been to South Africa. Clare literally took care of everything. She offered choices and was very responsive where we had a preference and decided for us where we didn't. The boutique hotels we stayed in in Capetown and in the Wine Region were perfect- great rooms, lovely staff, beautiful locations. Clare also arranged all our drivers and restaurant reservations. I really can't say enough about how wonderful our experience in South Africa was and there is no question in my mind about who was responsible: Clare!

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

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.
