Kimkim arranged a once-in-a-lifetime trip for us in South Africa. We told them some of what we wanted to see and do, where we wanted to go, and asked that they put together an itinerary that fit our time frame. Our South African agent, Anna-marie Mocke worked with us tirelessly and came up with a perfect plan. Pickups, drop offs, tours and golf tee times were all very well organized. And it was comforting to know that Anna-marie (or if she was not available, another agent) was always reachable and responded to queries almost immediately. Every one of our accommodations was lovely and the service was excellent. The warmth and welcoming of the staff at every location was outstanding. Our safari location was exceptional. It was a truly amazing journey. We highly recommend Kimkim.
Sincerely,
Brian, Debbie, Jamie and Bev

Very Charming Hotel. The staff were wonderful, so friendly and helpful. We could walk to the BoKaap area and to the waterfront as well. We would like to say how much we enjoyed our interactions with Melody, Tiffany and Sheila. They were great.

Walkers Plains Camp

This camp was wonderful. Our guide Millie and tracker Walter worked very hard to make our experience fantastic. And the staff at the camp - Cosmo, Charles, Carolina, Ntisiyo. They took good care of us! We didn't want to leave. It was very nice to meet the Walkers brothers and their pups! It was a very intimate environment that fostered friendships amongst the other guests.

The tastings were very good. We visited in the fall after the harvest, so we didn't have the opportunity to walk through the vineyards. And we were not offered tours of the cellars or other parts of the operation. The tram was a fun way to travel.

Zaki was a very articulate and passionate guide. The fact that we were able to visit his home and taste some of the family recipes was special.

Somewhat touristy - but we were tourists... The food was fantastic and partaking in the drumming was a lot of fun.

The views were spectacular. And it was a very pleasant hike down the hill (thank goodness we didn't have to walk up - the drive up was scary enough!) The buffet meal provided was excellent.
