Travel Exclusively African Reviews 

I had the help of Ian to book a portion of the famous Rovos rail. He made things so much easier for me.
They also offer great trips and safaris.

Had a trip of a lifetime and made memories that I will never forget!

I have just been on Holiday here with work and it was an amazing trip. The staff, accommodation and experience was all 10/10. Would highly recommend!

Well organised . Everything went to plan - wonderful trip - would recommend using this company

I have just been away with work on an incredible Safari and the whole experience and journey was second to none. Would highly recommend

We had the most incredible experience booking our trip to Kariega through Travel Exclusively Africa. Ian went above and beyond in organising every detail of our journey, including coordinating around 50 flights and booking all of our accommodation seamlessly.

Everything ran perfectly from start to finish, which allowed us to relax and fully enjoy the adventure. Kariega itself was absolutely unforgettable, and the whole trip truly was the trip of a lifetime.

We cannot thank Ian and the team enough for their professionalism, attention to detail, and exceptional service. We would highly recommend Travel Exclusively Africa to anyone planning a special African holiday.

The best trip I have been on! Would defiantly return back there.

We have just returned from a fantastic 2 week holiday in South Africa. Everything was managed by Travel Exclusively African all we had to do was book out flights. Ian was well informed and gave us advice on how best to plan our visit given we had never been to South Africa before. Hopefully we can book another trip in the future!

We enjoyed our second holiday with Travel Exclusively African and have just returned after three weeks. Everything was arranged by Ian’s team including hotels, hire car and flights. First class service and the hotels were fantastic. They do a really good job and at prices that are tough to beat.

The whole experience exceeded our expectations, with the combination of excellent hotel, excellent golf courses, numerous and varied types of restaurants at great value which put this all together made for a fantastic holiday experience for all concerned.

Finally your company Travel Exclusively African put together a superb golf holiday package and did a really professional job in ensuring everything worked out on time and there was no problem with all the bookings and I received full support and great communication I would totally recommend Travel Exclusively African.

Send a mail to ian that we were visiting south Afrika within 4 weeks. Asked if he could arrange a wild life experience and a few days of relaxing. And transport from the airport
To the facility’s and back
Royal madikawe was just WOW
Sun city excellent for relaxing
Even changing times of arrival and leaving was no problem just send him a mail and he will reply within a hour! And solve it!
Again will ask him again just first class!

I luckily happened upon Ian's site during a web search and I'm so happy I did. I told him what we were thinking of doing and he arranged everything including Rovos Rail from Pretoria to Cape Town, all of our transfers to and from the train station and between hotels and several tours in Cape Town. The tours (Cape Town, Cape of Good Hope and the Winelands) were a lot of fun and our tour guides were great. As we were staying in Cape Town for three weeks, Ian booked a spacious, nicely located apartment for us and even reserved Christmas lunch for us at an excellent waterfront restaurant. The entire itinerary was arranged perfectly and went very smoothly. We will definitely contact Ian when we visit Africa again.

Ian made a truly magical holiday for us. Every detail with the hotels transfers and flights were perfect and each place we had an amazing experience. I would totally recommend using this company to make your dream holiday you will not regret it. The experience’s we have had have made memories forever.

We have just returned from a wonderful family holiday in SA arranged by Ian. We wanted to have a memorable trip with the kids who are 9 and 12, and Ian created a great itinerary for us. There were so many highlights in the 2+ weeks we were there: exploring Cape Town, wine tasting using the wine tram, whale watching, exploring the garden route, safari and nice food along the way. The locations and hotels were great and Ian recommended the right amount of days in each location. We had some concerns around general safety before going but we did not have any issues at all. Overall the trip exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend Travel Exclusively African. We would love to come back in the future to explore other parts of SA.

We have just returned from THE most fabulous trip to South Africa organised by Ian. From the outset he seemed to understand what we wanted. Especially as we were travelling with our children. He worked with us to devise a programme that was exactly what we wanted but also considered things like travel distance so we weren't in a car for too long with the children each day. We have had the holiday of a lifetime with memories that we will cherish.

We booked through Ian as he was recommended by my parents and subsequently my Aunt and Uncle have booked with him too. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him again nor arrange another holiday with him.

I contacted Ian as he'd been recommended to me by friends and from the off I felt he understood what I wanted. He produced an itinerary to include Safaris, Cape Town, the Winelands (Franschhoek) and Victoria Falls. To cover all of this we had 4 internal flights and transfers between airports and hotels. I have to say everything went like clockwork and the Tour Guides Ian provided were excellent and made our excursions special. All of the accommodation was well selected and of a high standard. Most notably Kings Camp in the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve which borders Kruger National Park and The Royal Livingstone Hotel Victoria Falls; both were outstanding. I would certainly recommend Travel Exclusively African and if we return we will definitively use them for any trips to the region. Thanks again Ian, you provided the ultimate package for us to enjoy what is a most beautiful country.

So well organised. Holiday flowed seamlessly. Amazingly knowledgeable guides; fantastic accommodation; delicious food; appropriately recommended add on activities. Our family ranging from 8 years old to 66 years old enjoyed every moment of this trip of a lifetime. Thank you. 🙂

From start to finish this was a holiday that built long lasting memories. The accommodation, the people, the food, the game drives were just magnificent. Travel Exclusively African did all the organisation for us, from flights from the UK to car hire to booking accommodation. The organisation was faultless.
The quality of the accommodation was outstanding in Cape Town, Franschoek., Plettenburg Bay and Kariega Game Park. Without taking away anything from each of the locations, for us the pinacle of the holiday and a superb end to it was our stay at Kariega Game Park. Everything was fantastic, the people, the accommodation, the food and the game drives. We saw loads of wildlife made better by such a knowledgeable guide, who couldn't do enough for us. What will stand out in my memory was stopping half way through and evening drive to have a picnic in the heart of the bush. It was just fantastic. Michael

If you want a tailor made package this is the Company to go to. Ian is an exceptional organiser and somehow manages to root out the best hotels throughout the Western Cape in the most exceptional locations. We are golfers and Ian organised our requirements brilliantly. We got to play the courses we wanted with great tee times. Would highly recommend Ian and his Company to organise your South African adventure, Ian grew up in SA and as such knows where the best places are to go to and stay at.

A first visit to SA and Ian and Beverly created an amazing bespoke package taking us from safari, down the garden route and beaches to Cape Town and into the wine lands. We were expertly guided to a holiday that matched our taste and choices. Every area of organization was taken care of from seamless one way car hire to recommended places to visit, restaurants recommendations, even desert suggestions!
Great communication throughout, everything went as planned and we knew if there had been an issue it would have been instantly and locally addressed.
