Val and I would like to thank ‘Here’s my Card’ for making this year’s visit to South Africa such a success. Your friendly, knowledgeable and professional service provided us with excellent competitively priced accommodation along with many useful tips re restaurants, vineyards, shopping and a reliable taxi service. Your attention to detail was really appreciated.

We will be back next year and will be recommending you to all our friends thinking of taking advantage of the strong pound.

Before we leave Londolozi (we are very sad to leave...), we would love to thank you for the wonderful trip. Londolozi was terrific, they upgraded us from Tree Camp to Granite Suite and we loved everything about this place. It’s beautiful, comfortable and food & service is great. But of course the best are the game drives... even if I had this experience already....but still it was something special and unforgettable for both of us!

We are seriously thinking about going next winter to Etosha Pan and Okavango Delta...I am sure you know where to send us, right? So thanks again for the wonderful organisation, every place was beautiful and special. We enjoyed our trip very much and your organisation was perfect. Every single place was special, we loved our room and food at Birkenhead House, we appreciated the lovely staff of Sea Five Hotel, we enjoyed walking around the gardens of Babylonstoren and of course we will never forget our Safari at Londolozi. Just a perfect vacation in every way!

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.

Thank you to Kerry & Clare for making our honeymoon beyond memorable. This is a prime example of why using a boutique organisation like, ‘Here’s My Card as they head and shoulders above a main stream holiday company. Rather than just offer you "The honeymoon package" they took to time to understand "us" what we liked and didn’t like and made suggestions accordingly.

The attention to detail was incredible from the locations, accommodation, restaurant recommendations, day trips - it's something we will cherish for a long time and highly recommend using them. We will definitely be back soon as we really loved it so thank you again once again.

Another fantastic trip organised by ‘Here’s My Card’. This third trip which incorporated a wonderful beach and sightseeing holiday with an awesome game reserve in Botswana. Our family holiday started with Christmas in Plettenberg Bay at a really wonderful private villa. Perfect for the children as there is lots of space & they spent most of the time in the pool. Then onto incredible Botswana for some Big 5 Action!! Breath-taking scenery & incredible game viewings with our great tracker & ranger team! We ended with time in Hermanus – for beach & golf & despite the 3 centre holiday it all worked seamlessly without a single hitch…….that’s why we keep coming back!

This was our first trip to South Africa and we sought the help of Here's my Card in planning an itinerary to include Cape Town, the Garden Route and a Game Reserve. We gave the girls an outline of the type of accommodation we required, what we would like to see and a ball-park budget and we were absolutely delighted with her itinerary.

The accommodation throughout the holiday was superb and the suggested activities were spot-on. Here's my Card not only organised perfect accommodation, car hire and activities schedule, but also provided comprehensive information and contact details to cover all eventualities throughout our visit, which enabled us to relax and thoroughly enjoy our adventure. We have travelled extensively throughout the world and have regularly used bespoke tailor-made agencies and can say, without any hesitation, that the Here's my Card team stand out as the best holiday planners we have come across.

Thank you so much Kerry & Clare! It was truly a wonderful holiday and we really enjoyed meeting you too.

Fiona and I are still on a massive high after the wedding....and especially our honeymoon!!

We normally like to do our own thing when we go overseas and have been known to turn up in a new country without even making accommodation plans. However, leaving most of the arrangements to you was a masterstroke and our honeymoon would just not have been the same had we tried to arrange it ourselves. From the first day when you met us at the airport (a nice touch by the way!) until our safari experience at the end of our trip we had a really amazing time. We really fell in love with your country! The food, the wine, the scenery, Cape Town, Franschhoek, Hermanus and especially Dulini! It was a fantastic couple of weeks.

In short, our South African experience was everything we hoped for and more. We would not hesitate in recommending you to our friends and family.

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.

Jeff and I wanted to plan a holiday in Mauritius but found it daunting to choose the best place, and realized we needed the help of experts. Kerry and Clare gave us a detailed shortlist according to our brief, and then chose one of them for us because we were still undecided! Their choice was spot-on. 

The hotel was luxurious with a choice of beaches, pools and restaurants. We really enjoyed the selection of beaches and pools, the accommodation was great, food and wine selection excellent and a lovely Spa. All the travel arrangements went smoothly. The itinerary was detailed with in depth information on Mauritius, the hotel and the available sight-seeing trips. We had a wonderful, relaxed holiday. Thanks Kerry and Clare, making our Mauritian holiday a dream come true

Cape Town

Kerry & Clare created another mind blowing trip for us. Botswana is a stunning country and we knew the camps were going to be 5*, but the 3 camps we visited were above and beyond what we were expecting. The trip was seamless and absolute joy which some breath taking and "once in a lifetime" sights. A good mixture of land & water based camps allowed us to experience more. 

We transferred to Camps Bay after 9 nights in Botswana to a penthouse apartment with stunning views. We'd been to another villa in May which was stunning, and this villa matched up to our now high standards in camps bay villas! What a wonderful position to be in...! There was lots of space and the sunsets were stunning. A great base for Cape Town. 

Another wonderful, personal holiday from Here's My Card. Until the next time ladies.....

Thank you so much Clare & Kerry for organising the honeymoon of our dreams. From your help putting together the ideal itinerary and your advice about when best to go, to recommending & reserving the most amazing restaurants we could not have asked for anything more. All the accommodation was incredible - we loved the ‘Under Canvas’ camp although anything with an en suite bathroom is way beyond our usual camping experiences. The refurbished Sandibe lodge is just another level of luxury and the people at Xaranna went out of their way to make our stay extra special. Our private dinner under the stars with the resident hippos providing the soundtrack is something we will never forget.

Cape Town and the Winelands made for a perfect end to our trip – we could have stayed at Babylonstoren forever. We were sad not to get to the top of Table Mountain but glad that it gives us an excuse to go back, not that any excuse is needed. Looking forward to the anniversary trip already.

We have just returned from the most spectacular experience planned with the utmost care and attention to detail. Kerry and Clare really interpreted our brief for a family holiday for my husband and I with our three girls in South Africa - featuring Cape Town, the coast, the wine regions and a spectacular safari. Accommodation and locations were all suggested by Kerry after a very brief conversation with me - and they all totally hit the spot…balancing luxury/location and something a little bit special! 

From the moment we arrived in our first destination in Camps Bay and read the notes for our two week holiday we knew we were in for a real treat - the notes were beautifully presented and became our ‘bible' for our stay helping us navigate through the various locations with no stress - knowing everything was booked or available as we needed it. We would never have found the restaurants - and each one was different and showcased another aspect of the areas we were staying in. The ‘bible’ is now a fabulous memento of our two week stay in the Cape! At each destination the local team had been briefed by Kerry and Clare about our trip and where we were on our journey. It was a holiday for us all….and importantly for us the girls were really taken care of. 

From the wonderful views from the top of Table Mountain, eating in some magical Cape Town restaurants, to watching whales basking in the bay from our room at Hermanus, then leaving the girls to make bread in the kitchen at Babylonstoren whilst we enjoyed a tour of the wine cellar (as well as tasting!). However the finale at Lion Sands took our breath away. We were treated to most of the Big 5 on every game drive - up close and personal - with expertise from our Ranger and Tracker who also awakened an interest in the most amazing birds in the area. We even had elephants who tried to join us all for dinner one evening!! 

Thank you so much for the experience - we are enjoying the holiday again as we sift through our many photographs - The Rylatt Family xx

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!

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.

Cape Town

Melita and I had the most wonderful holiday, both in the Cape and at Marataba Lodge, and we are very grateful to you for making it all happen. Dealing with ‘Here’s My Card’ was a pleasure from start to finish, and, particularly because we gave you little time to prepare an itinerary, I appreciate your quick response in discerning and delivering exactly what we were seeking.

Both hotels were stunning in different ways, but they shared outstanding, courteous, and attentive staff; luxurious, comfortable, and understated rooms; and absolutely perfect locations. Both exceeded our expectations. When it came to Marataba: "The staff is extraordinary, the facilities outstanding, the views spectacular, and the game-watching unparalleled. My three days were among the best I have ever enjoyed, and I have been blessed with many great days.", and, substituting "city-watching" for "game-watching", the same applies to the Cape Cadogan. Both hotels welcomed us in such a way that we immediately felt like each place was "ours".

I have already recommended you to two of my closest friends who are separately planning trips to SA!

Keith & Melita

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!!

After planning our dream honeymoon last year in South Africa, this year we had to return to Africa with Here's My Card for another taste of the 5-star adventure that Clare and Kerry work so hard to create. This time we would be heading to back to South Africa to return to our favourite spots in Cape Town and the wine country and journeying to Namibia for a taste of the wild.

Clare and Kerry once again outdid themselves and gave us a truly exceptional and unique experience across both countries. Every step of the way we had spectacular accommodations. In Namibia, Clare and Kerry always went the extra mile to insure we were treated exceptionally and given access to explore the rugged and beautiful landscapes independently with the most skilled guides from each lodge. We were also given fabulous extras like private dinners and a sunrise balloon ride over the desert.

We cannot recommend the white glove treatment of Clare and Kerry to enough of our friends and family. In fact, we've been so thrilled we are bringing our families back with us for our next trip we are already planning with Here's My Card for our third African visit!

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.
