Perfect and special honeymoon

Manuela and I cannot thank you enough for all the work that went into making our honeymoon so perfect and special. Everything, from the experience as a whole to the slightest of details, went smoothly and perfectly well. We will remember it forever.

Cape Town is simply amazing & our hotel was in a great location & we had a beautiful room. Our winelands hotel was unbelievably gorgeous and the staff so nice. Classy in all respects, it also felt like we were not in a hotel as such. The food in wine country, just like you mentioned, was extremely good value for a level of quality that is only found in few places around the world. The European influence makes Franschhoek restaurants some of the best we´ve ever eaten at. Chic and unpretentious ambience with food so simple yet so tasteful… just like we like it. We each gained 5 pounds at least!! Our safari lodge is probably the best property of the whole trip. We couldn’t believe our eyes when we got there. The safari experience, the staff, the rustic understated luxury, and the property with the most soul of all throughout the trip. Everything had a personal touch and a level of detail which we absolutely loved. 

Once again, thank you so much.

Incredible honeymoon

I just wanted to send you a note of huge huge thanks for our incredible honeymoon. Ben and I had the most amazing time away, we fell in love with South Africa too, so will definitely be back. Our accommodation was perfection from start to finish, and each hotel blew us away! We couldn’t have wished for better. All of your restaurant suggestions were fantastic, as were our day trips. We particularly loved our hike up Table Mountain & our private guide, was fantastic. Our safari experience was just amazing – the safari team really made it such a special trip and we were very sad to have to leave. 

Ben and I will be back soon hopefully, as we have the bug!

Mammoth feat

Thank you so much for your mammoth feat of organisation around our wedding. Not only did you manage some very complex travel arrangements but you also met each of our guests requirements by tailor making their South African experience to their taste.

Each and every one of them commented on what an amazing job you both did. We also owe you a massive thank you for the fantastic honeymoon you organised for us - it was exactly what we wanted and couldn’t have asked for a better way to relax after all the wedding celebrations.

Perfect & memorable experience

Having dreamed of going on safari ever since I was a little girl, I had extremely high expectations when I contacted Clare and Kerry for help organising our honeymoon. Clare & Kerry was absolutely wonderful listening carefully and patiently to what we wanted and then coming up with various itineraries for us to pick from. Our honeymoon was a truly memorable experience and was by far the best holiday either of us had been on.

Benguerra Island off Mozambique was beautiful, relaxing and a perfect way to start our honeymoon. The girls managed to secure us an upgrade upon booking and our villa and infinity pool were stunning. After 5 days drinking cocktails, sailing on the traditional dhow boat and relaxing on the beach we went to Cape Town. We stayed in the beautiful Camps Bay and did many of the touristy activities around Cape Town. Kerry and Clare had booked the most amazing dinners for us - places we never would have found by ourselves. Finally we travelled to a luxurious tented camp where we went on twice daily game drives with extremely experienced trackers and guides. We saw the Big 5 in 24 hours. What a perfect end to a fabulous holiday.

We honestly cannot thank Kerry and Clare enough for organising such a perfect and memorable experience for us. We can't wait to return soon - thank you so much Kerry and Clare.

Amazing time

Here’s My Card took care of the organisation of our honeymoon. Recommended by friends, we fully trusted them, and we were not disappointed! Just the opposite! The prep work required on our end was very low and that is what we enjoyed. They also provided us with dinner suggestions most of the nights and did the reservation for us. We have never eaten so well for 3 weeks in a row!

We had such an amazing time and enjoyed every minute of this trip. We had the right mixture of City, Safari and sea experience! Kensington Place was a special hotel with stunning customer service in Cape Town. Babylonstoren was superb and we would recommend the Babel restaurant there. The game drives at the Kwandwe Reserve were something really special!

Thanks again for all your effort, should we ever go back to South Africa again, we will be in touch!

Essentially perfect

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.

Beyond our dreams

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!

Experience of a lifetime

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.

Exceeded our expectations

Jorge and I had the most wonderful time on our honeymoon. I would say it started by the way we were greeted at the airport, but it started way before that. From our first e-mails with the girls, who we "met" by the referral of a friend in common, we felt completely understood about the type of honeymoon we wanted. To say it exceeded our expectations is an understatement.

Flying over the Okovango Delta we could see the ecosystems changing before our eyes. This was probably the most beautiful camp in Botswana we stayed at, and knew right then that the girls had planned it that way, so that our last place in Africa was the best one...

During the day, on game drives, looking at animals in the wild so close was a real highlight. From a herd of elephants taking a mud bath in practically the only wet spot left on the seasonal river, to a mother lion with four 2 month old cubs. After seeing African wild dogs hunt and feed their young, zebras, giraffes, wildebeests; after one more night of singing by the staff at the lodge under the African stars, after a wonderful mokoro ride in the river, we flew home, wishing to return to Africa.

Thank you Here's My Card for a magical honeymoon! (& thank you Pummi for the recommendation)!

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.

Magical honeymoon

We would like to say a huge thank you to Kerry and Clare at Here's My Card for arranging the most magical honeymoon possible for us. We had such a wonderful time! Everything was incredible, we felt so spoilt and looked after so thank you so much.

From the stunning surrounding of Hermanus to beautiful Franschhoek and finally to the wonderful retreat in the Cederberg mountains, we couldn't have asked for more. Every detail was perfect and we will never forget this truly special trip. Well done Here's My Card for a first class service, we can't recommend them highly enough.

Absolutely stunning

Our trip to a safari lodge for our honeymoon was exactly what we needed after a busy first few weeks in South Africa after the wedding. The wildlife and location of the lodge was something we have never experienced before - absolutely stunning! We were really spoilt with the honeymoon treatments, great food and friendly staff. The room was really gorgeous with our own private deck area including a pool and stunning views over the water where we could watch the hippos and resident crocodiles while we relaxed.

We look forward to hopefully another "Here's My Card" trip in the future.

Absolute 5 star experience

Clare and Kerry were incredible to work with as we started planning our dream honeymoon. They patiently listened to our needs and over many emails, helped us construct an incredible 10 day vacation in South Africa. The boutique hotels were fabulous in character and service, and each offered a unique feel that made you feel right at home. The wine country was to die for and offered us the most beautiful sunset we had ever seen. With so many safaris to choose from, they helped us achieve the perfect match and our lodge and stay was truly the most magical place you could imagine.

We would recommend Here's My Card 100% - there is no doubt you will have an absolute 5 star experience!

Simply out-of-this-world experience

I'd like to thank you both again for the out-of-this-world experience we have had during our honeymoon. Every time, we think of it, there is a nostalgic, yet extremely fulfilling feeling of fantastic memories. The trip was simply out of this world!

We can't thank you enough for organizing that trip. We travelled like locals, ate like royals and slept like babies... The whole trip was organized as if it's your second-nature. Not a single time did we have organizational issues and this is a testimony to your knowledge and expertise.

If Here's my Card was a publicly listed company, I would want to buy stock in you guys!!! Please expand your business so we can use you in different continents!

Spectacular service

What can we say about Here's My Card? The following short statement should suffice: 'a simply amazing tailor-made experience we will never forget thanks to the tireless efforts of both Clare and Kerry who we had the pleasure of meeting in South Africa'; however, we feel it is not merely enough to represent the spectacular service we were given. These two ladies could not have done a better job in making our honeymoon so special. Even with the unforeseen event of one of our resorts' burning down from natural causes 5 days before we were due to go there, Clare and Kerry ensured that we had alternative accommodation booked at a much more exclusive resort on the same island within a matter of days.

We wanted to experience so much that the continent has to offer and our expectations were completely surpassed; from the relaxing yet exciting horse riding through the wine lands of Franschhoek, to great white shark diving, a fantastic and exhilarating hike up to the top of table mountain and the truly amazing place of Lion Sands Game Reserve in Kruger National Park, where we were lucky enough to see the big 5 and even see the rare sighting of a beautiful and elegant leopard hunt and capture its lunch for the day in the form of a goose!

The beautiful island of Benguerra was a most relaxing experience where our every indulgence was met with our own personal butler on hand if anything was required; all on an island which could only be described as a picture perfect paradise.


The end of our trip - which we wish would have never come - was at an exclusive and award winning boutique hotel only minutes from the home of the inspirational and ex-President of South Africa Nelson Mandela.

We could not recommend a better travel consultancy, one with such personal touches and professional attitude. Clare and Kerry will even book you the most exclusive and amazing restaurants upon request so there's no need to do anything other than turn up and follow your own personal itinerary!
Thank you for such a wonderful experience we will never forget and for making our honeymoon so unforgettable.

Delivering on what you promised!

We have so many unforgettable memories from our honeymoon – taking a helicopter into a small island in Mozambique, riding Harley Davidson's along the epic South African coastline to having sundowner cocktails in the middle of the African wilderness, just to name a few. 

At each place we stayed, it is clear that we got a little extra attention because of the relationship with Here's My Card - we even got to stay in the owner's villa in Franschhoek. Look forward to making another trip with you soon and thanks for delivering on what you promised!

Perfect honeymoon

Thank you again for a wonderful trip!

We had an absolutely perfect honeymoon in South Africa thanks to Clare and Kerry. Their attention to detail, exceptional taste in lodging, and fun activity suggestions made our vacation a trip we will never forget. Kerry and Clare created an itinerary showing us the vast beauty and variety that South Africa has to offer including the beach in Hermanus, wine tasting in Franschhoek, one of the kind eating experiences in Cape Town, the desert of the Kalahari and the Big 5 in Kruger.

From the special treatment we received at each and every restaurant and hotel we stayed in to the seamless logistics of getting from one location to the next Kerry and Clare are truly unparalleled in the services they provide. Thank you for making our honeymoon such a special and memorable time.

Wonderful honeymoon

We were very impressed with the service provided by Here's My Card. Even before the trip started, you called us multiple times to hear what we wanted to do, understand our price point and followed up with detailed suggestions/ itineraries. The logistics worked out perfectly once the trip started, thanks to your meticulous planning. 

Each hotel went out of their way to serve us, including giving us a bottle of champagne as a welcome gift. The chauffeurs you arranged for were knowledgeable and polite. The restaurants you booked for us were top notch with the chefs being among South Africa's Top 5. Finally, the itinerary you put together was just what we wanted, from the Franschhoek vineyards, shark diving in Gansbaai, to the safari in Sabi Sands, to the helicopter ride in Cape Town. Thanks so much for your help and effort for putting such a wonderful honeymoon trip for us.

Best honeymoon trip ever!

We had an amazing time. We wanted to visit Southern Africa for our Honeymoon and for the first time decided to work with a travel expert. The girls created an experience that reflected who we are, what we love and our dreams of this vacation through each detail. My husband and I wanted a honeymoon that combined all the things we love: culture, natural beauty, great gastronomy, history, relax and service that would make us feel very special. Working with Kerry & Clare we created a flawless five-stop agenda; Franschhoek, Hermanus, Cape Town and Sabi Sands in South Africa; and Benguerra Island in Mozambique. Here's My Cards' Daily Planner was the bible of our vacation. We reviewed it every evening with excitement knowing that each day was just getting better.

Thank you Kerry and Clare. You have given us our best adventure yet!
