Wonderful experience

We are back from our African Safari in Johannesburg, Victoria Falls and Botswana. A wonderful experience. The accommodations were first rate and connections all went very smoothly. 

The staff at the wonderful & Beyond camps in Botswana were very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The number of animals and birds we saw was truly breath-taking. 

We would highly recommend the service and experience we received from Here’s My Card to others.

Memorable trip

Kerry & Clare at Here's My Card arranged a terrific trip for us in South Africa in 2010 with the family, so naturally we asked them to do it again but this time with friends. They did not disappoint and we yet had another memorable trip, this time to Victoria Falls and Botswana. 

Everything about the trip was extraordinary from being picked up at the airport to being delivered back for our flight home. Everyone was always on time and smiling. 

We were able to see all the wildlife and birds that we came to see and enjoyed top-notch accommodations and meals everywhere. 

Thank you once again Here’s My Card

Effortless travel

Renee and I recently combined our Wedding pre-visit, with my Moms 60th birthday in a trip to the Bush. Once again, the team at Here’s My Card took care of every details of our trip. As a group, we stayed at Lion Sands River Lodge, Tinga and Narina Lodges for our recent 3 night stay. To say that this part of the world is beautiful is to cut it short of what it truly is… the stunning magnificence of the bush lives with us after seeing a place like that. We cannot believe that it will be our wedding venue… 

We cannot recommend Here’s My Card enough, they do the hard yards with lodges and teams, to make your trip as effortless as possible. We simply glided from experience to experience, without hiccup or bump, carefully managed by the experienced lodge managers. 

Such an experience. Thank you so much girls!

A special trip that we will never forget…

We have recently returned from South Africa where we celebrated a special anniversary. We had never been to this country before and we wanted to get a real sense of it. After a long journey, we arrived late at Kwandwe Reserve and the thought of being up at 5am the following morning was not too appealing. However, the 3 nights we spent there were magical. It is hard to describe the place, the staff, the animals and the whole atmosphere.

We were so sad leaving but Franschhoek and Cape Town offered completely different appeals and we had great fun. The accommodation in both locations were fantastic and fitted our needs and requirements perfectly.

To satisfy my husband’s love of trains, we ended on Ravos Rail from Cape Town to Pretoria. It was like taking a journey back in time, including the delays. None of it mattered as we were so chilled out from the trip and just enjoyed the whole experience. The rooms, food and wines were fantastic.

We can't thank Kerry & Clare from Here's my card enough for working with us to get the type of holiday we were looking for and making it so easy, from our glossy itinerary to the drivers and amazing accommodation. It was a special trip that we will never forget!

Extraordinary & unforgettable

Thank you for the lovely bespoke brochure & it stands as a wonderful memory of our first trip to South Africa. Thank you again & we all really appreciated all your efforts & we hope to return again soon.

Personal approach

This was my first experience of booking through Here’s My Card whom I chose as I was looking for a more personal approach to sourcing & arranging accommodation. They did not disappoint & found this awesome little boutique hotel in Camps bay for my stay in Cape Town. My experience at the hotel was exactly what was promised and looking for; great large rooms in a central location with attentive and personal service.

Having had such a positive experience with Here's My Card in Cape Town, a friend and I decided to use them again to book trip for us to celebrate a wedding in Franschhoek. Once again, the property choice was spot on & the service was exemplary. Travelling with HMC meant that every need had already been catered for & planned - restaurant tables, Wine farm visits - everything ran smoothly & to time. All I had to do was turn up where & when the itinerary said & the rest was taken care of. I can't thank Kerry and Clare enough for making this long weekend in & around Cape Town so easy & really wonderful.

Another amazing holiday

I have used Here’s My Card for all my trips to Southern Africa and they have always exceeded my expectations so naturally I used them again to book a trip my boyfriend and I were going on for a wedding we were attending in Franschhoek. Kerry and Clare from Here’s My Card met our brief perfectly, booking a boutique guest house right in the centre of Franschhoek which gave us easy access to all the amazing restaurants, wine shops and art galleries the town had to offer. They ensured that our weekend ran seamlessly organising everything from car transfers, restaurants and beauty treatments which meant all we had to do was relax and enjoy our holiday.

Thanks again or Here’s My Card for organising an itinerary that was customised just for us and for another amazing holiday!

Relaxing & enjoyable

Having had such a positive experience with Here's My Card with my family in December, I decided to use them again to book trip for myself to celebrate a wedding. Once again, the property choices were perfect and the service in both was exemplary. Travelling with Here’s My Card meant that every need had already been catered for and planned - cars, restaurant tables, visits - everything ran smoothly and to time.

All I had to do was turn up where and when the itinerary said and the rest was taken care of. I can't thank Kerry and Clare enough for making such a short stay so incredibly relaxing and enjoyable - I felt like I'd been away for weeks!

Here's My Card provide a 5 star service

Magical, memorable, marvellous and meticulously planned. We had such a fabulous trip to South Africa. One week in The Cape taking in Cape Town, Hermanus and whale watching and the Winelands and the second week on safari in KwaZulu Natal.

We cannot thank and praise Kerry enough for putting together the most wonderful & spectacular trip. If you want the best then that is what Here's My Card deliver in terms of service and a professional approach with a personal touch. Their attention to detail is second to none and there were lots of little 'here's my card' touches along the way that were hugely appreciated and made the difference. They listen to what you are wanting to get out of your trip and take the time and trouble to get it spot on - taking on board the things you like and dislike and work with you to deliver an amazing trip. Nothing is too much trouble and everything from hotel bookings, lunch and dinner reservations to additional excursions, drivers/guides and meet and greets, tickets for shows etc is seamlessly taken care of - all you need to do is relax and enjoy a perfectly planned trip.

Here's My Card provides a 5 star service and we cannot recommend them highly enough. They will be our first and only stop for future trips. Well done Kerry and Clare and a huge and heartfelt thank you - it was a delight to work with you.

Delightful to deal with

I recently used the wonderful services of ‘Here's my Card’ travel consultancy for our family trip in South Africa. Our party consisted of 4 adults and two children (aged 6 & 8 months) Kerry and Clare were delightful to deal with. They provided us with great service leading up to the booking as well as some local recommendations that we found perfect for our family dynamic. Our hotel in Cape Town was perfectly located and we ended on a Big 5 safari, which was outstanding.

Thanks again for your help

Incredible adventure

Thank you so much for helping plan and select such an incredible adventure for us! I told you I wanted something special for Renee’s birthday, and you found the perfect match!

Ngala Tented Camp was a superb suggestion, and beautiful reserve! The extra attention from the staff as awesome! Thanks you girls! The highlight was having a Bush Breakfast in the Timbavati, with wild animals all around us!

Can’t believe we saw all the big 5 in the first 2 game drives! Leopard cubs, wild dog pups, baby hippo’s - was something to behold! Thanks again for all your help! And great suggestions! Looking forward to the next trip we plan!

Truly sensational

Our trip was truly sensational! We loved SA and all the experiences and places we visited. It was a trip of a lifetime for us! We can’t thank you enough for arranging it - the book was our BIBLE and so helpful with suggestions and finer details. It was amusing to look over at another table at breakfast at Angala to see another group reading the zebra print bible too!

Sea Five hotel in Camps Bay was a great place to start our trip and then the added surprise of dinner booked at Potluck was amazing. Then on to the Winelands - Angala an incredible Zen like place and the food and service was superb, the attention to detail here was on another level. They came and sang Happy birthday to Matt at breakfast which was so special, thank you so much for arranging that with them. Then on to Hermanus and the South right suite! A lovely beach hotel after the Winelands. On to Plettenberg & we stayed in a lovely hotel. Lastly, we ended on a first class safari at Kwandwe! I can’t say anything more that completely fantastic on every level.

Fantastic job

What a fantastic job you did arranging our holiday! Everywhere we went we met with courtesy and warm welcomes – from the drivers to the staff that worked in the hotels and lodge in Sabi Sands, we felt like we were old friends. Each place was better than the last and the safari, well, it could not have been improved on. Between us we have been on a lot of special holidays, and South Africa rates up in the top rank thanks to you and the places you booked.

Your planning and execution of the trip was so smooth and everything was planned beautifully and we can't say enough how well thought out the accommodation, restaurants, trips and transfers were. Nothing was left to chance. It suited us perfectly, as neither of us like these big "soul-less hotels." We will certainly be recommending you to anyone we know planning a trip to SA. (including ourselves!!!). Thank you once again.

Tailor-made experience

This was our third trip to S.A and beyond with Here's My Card and once again the hard work was taken care of with a seamless transition from a long flight to a great holiday.

The attention to detail meant that all we had to do was show up and relax. We were celebrating our first wedding anniversary and wanted the balance of Cape Town city life, the wine regions and a safari. The idea to go to Victoria Falls whilst not originally in our thoughts was a great recommendation and the devils pools was a real lifetime highlight.

There is still so much we look forward to coming back and doing  in the region and I couldn’t give a stronger recommendation than to go with local experts so you really do get a tailor-made experience.

Memorable experience (4th Here’s My Card Client Engagement!)

Thank you very much Kerry and Clare for recommending and arranging our stay at the most incredible location. Babylonstoren is a wonderfully wholesome, beautiful and elegant guest farm. The natural simplicity is the core thread throughout, from the stunning rooms, pristine grounds, hand-picked ingredients at the restaurant to the friendly and attentive service.

The immaculate farm gardens, amidst the pink fruit tree blossoms, presented the ideal backdrop for Jon's proposal. We couldn't have wished for a more magical setting to celebrate our engagement.

Thank you again for a completely memorable experience.

Perfectly executed

We cannot thank you enough for all that you did to make our trip so amazing. I can't say enough great things about all that you did - we wish you could plan all our trips!!

This was hands down the greatest vacation we have ever taken. From start to finish every detail was thoughtfully planned, carefully coordinated, and perfectly executed. You knew exactly what activities we would enjoy, which accommodations suited us and where to find the perfect food and wine!

The thought of planning a two week trip to Africa was daunting and overwhelming, but you made it easy and painless - like it magically came together.

I had said this was a once in a lifetime trip, but we am now confident we will be back again soon, and am looking forward to what you plan for the next trip!!

Didn’t disappoint

As seasoned Cape Town visitors, finding accommodation for the 7 of us with a wide ranging age spectrum, that was both different and jaw dropping, was a challenge that Kerry & Clare at Here’s My Card accepted with relish! And they didn’t disappoint us.

Kerry & Clare found an exquisite villa in Camps Bay that had enough space to ensure that we could all have a great holiday; cosy yet lots of space. And the views at sunset ... well, wow ... I would sell all my earthy belongings to visit again to watch that sun set. Before we arrived, Kerry & Clare gave us lots of ideas of what to do in the area and booked some restaurants; they even arranged some shopping to be in the fridge which was marvellous after a long journey.

We have already booked another holiday with Here’s My Card, and that is a testament to the experience we had ... thanks Girls once again.

Memorable experience

When we visited South Africa in 2011 we said we’d be back…well we have returned and our second experience was just as memorable as our first visit ! Clare and Kerry helped us plan another fantastic itinerary which took us from Cape Town to the Kruger over a stunning two week journey. The variety and quality of everywhere we stayed en route was simply outstanding and we enjoyed some fantastic excursions, lunches and dinners. We travelled with our good friends Jeremy and Dawn who were visiting South Africa for the first time and who were also ‘blown away’ by this land of variety, colour and exuberance. It was also great to finally meet up with Clare in Cape Town after all the long distance planning beforehand!

Yes…our minds are already thinking of our next visit to this wonderful continent – we can’t wait to explore Africa some more.

Thank you Clare and Kerry for helping make our trip such a memorable experience.

Our best ever holiday

We have been on some fantastic holidays over the last 10 years in many parts of the World but this was our best!

Plettenberg Bay in particular was fantastic with such beautiful beaches and so much to do. The private villa you found for us was quite simply superb and proved to be an excellent base from which to explore.

We really didn't want to leave but once we arrived at the magnificent La Residence, any disappointment evaporated. I simply love Franschhoek - La Petite Ferme is now in my Top 10 restaurants of all time!

We are very appreciative for everything that you did for us and are looking forward to next year!

Fantastic time

After booking a last minute flight to Cape Town less than a day before my departure, I was worried due to lack of proper planning. A friend told me about Kerry & Clare and how impressed he was with the plan they came up with for their honeymoon. I knew I was in good hands after the first call. From that point on, I simply followed their advice and ended up having a fantastic time in beautiful Cape Town. I highly recommend Here's My Card travel if you are looking for a unique, cool, fun experience in South Africa custom designed for you.
