"There are truly no words to describe our time at Mala Mala. If I had to choose one, it would be "magical". It was complete perfection from start to finish and absolutely everything we were looking for. Our ranger, Ollie, was the greatest - so knowledgeable and a complete joy to spend time with. The entire staff was lovely beyond words.The camp was extraordinary in its quiet natural beauty and raw surroundings. I really can’t put into words how incredible this experience was for our family. We saw the Big 5 daily, and did it in a relaxed, exciting, glam (hot water bottles and blankets for morning drives!) and patient setting. I cried when our time there was over and am already constantly thinking about how quickly we could get back for another adventure.Mala Mala was definitely the high point of this trip. I would tell anyone to go there anytime for the experience of a lifetime."

"I am finally finding myself with a minute to give you a proper follow-up for our amazing journey! I truly cannot say enough about the ease of our trip in terms of logistics. Everything was perfectly arranged and orchestrated on your end... flights, guides, airport and hotel transfers, etc. From start to finish, you really helped with every step of planning of this dream adventure.I would recommend Timeless Africa Safaris and you Belinda to anyone looking for a fabulous experience. Thank you so much for all of the hard work. I hope you will be there in a year or so when we make plans to return."

"Kapama was OUT OF THIS WORLD! Huge success of a family vacation. Kim, Thanks for everything!"

"I wanted to thank you for organizing such a great trip. Everything worked well (the helpers at Johannesburg airport were great) and we had one of the best meals we've ever had at The Residence. Zacky was amazingly cheerful, helpful and knowledgeable showing us around Cape Town - what a great city and region! The safari was fabulous, the whole staff couldn't do enough, and Bazaruto Island was stunningly beautiful. My wife Trish is now pushing for another trip to Africa after being nervous before we went!"

"Jamala Madikwe was amazing. The personalized attention was really special. All of our requests were attended to immediately. The staff there is wonderful. Nico and Rodney are very special people. We fell in love with our Guide, Lazarus, who was born on the reserve and knew every square inch. He showed us his country with the deepest love and joy. Staying for six nights allowed us to follow certain individual animals over the course of the week.We met a beautiful two-year-old female leopard the first day we arrived, who had been tracked across the reserve and had found nothing to eat. She was hungry and tired. Lazarus explained that she was young and still not a very good hunter. We met her again three days later, after having eaten small meals. Lazarus told us that she looked much better. Then finally on our last day, she was tracked after she had made a kill and had dragged an impala up a tree to continue feasting. The videos and pictures we took of her and the rest of the animals were remarkable. Seeing a wide variety of animals at the watering hole while we sat and enjoyed our meals was a fantasy come true.Your itinerary, help with packing, and the wonderful gifts you sent to us were invaluable and much appreciated. We used the safari bag you gave us daily. It was the perfect size to carry extra layers, binoculars etc.Thank you Louise, you really made our trip wonderful. Of course I will recommend you unreservedly."

"Having a qualified guide during our time in Cape Town made a tremendous difference to our experience. Our guide was much more than a driver. His sole aim was to see that we had the very best time in Cape Town, saw everything we wanted to see, and learned as much as we could about the history and culture of South Africa. We never had to worry about needing directions, where to go, where to park a car, nothing. It was "white glove" service and certainly worth the cost."Our 'Cultural Day' was a visit to a township - this was one of the most memorable experiences of our time in Cape Town. We have three teenage daughters who benefited from seeing the beauty and getting an inside perspective of how people live in townships. We will never forget the time we spent at the pre school with these beautiful young children."

"Dear Kim, Thank you for all your help in planning this wonderful trip for our family. It was an incredible trip that we will always remember! Here are a few reflections: Overall, I would say that our itinerary was quite full so that we were able to fit a lot into our trip, but we still had some time for moments of rest / leisure. Well done! Our journey to Cape Town was pretty easy and the pick-up and drop off at our hotel went smoothly. The Cape Grace was beautiful and the service and food there were excellent. We enjoyed being on the Waterfront and loved visiting the Watershed where local artisans sold their pieces. We bought several things, including a beautiful original painting by a local artist and look forward to hanging it in our home. Our days touring with Cheryl were great. We especially loved the trip down to Cape Point. The coastline there was stunningly beautiful. And the stop at the little craft shop and the ostrich farm were fun. We also loved our trip up to Table Mountain and were able to catch a magnificent sunset. Cheryl was excellent at navigating the area and taking us to different parts of the city. We loved our stay at the Phinda Mountain Lodge. Everyone was very warm and helpful. Our cottages were great and the food was very good. Our personal helper, Else, was lovely and our guide, Lucky, and tracker, Josi, were amazing. We had so much fun with Lucky - not only was he a great ranger, but he was a delightful companion, always laughing and having fun with us. It was especially nice to share dinner with him on two of the nights. On our rides, we saw every animal we had hoped to see - elephants, giraffe, zebras, black and white rhinos, wart hogs, hippos, cheetahs, a leopard, and lots of lions - it was really incredible! Josi and Lucky were amazing at finding them, and were very informative about their habits.For Jason's birthday, they set up a wonderful cake and champagne stop along our evening drive which was a great surprise and really nice! The lodge was also very good at accommodating our gluten-free diet. It really was a fantastic trip and we are very grateful for your help! Warm regards, Chrissy"

"We had a wonderful trip. This trip will certainly figure in our top 2-3 family vacations (and we do go on a lot of overseas vacations). Everything – from the hotels we stayed at, to the places we went, was perfect. There was not a single glitch anywhere – which is uncommon in a two week packed trip. I would also like to mention our guides (Terrance, Helen, Natasha) – they really made our trip enjoyable and memorable. We got to know them really well and developed a bond with them. We loved the people of the country – very warm, kids friendly and helpful. Going in, we thought Safari will be the highlight – and in many ways it was … but every part of the trip had its own highlight. Another highlight was the quality of food and wine – which quite honestly we expected to be good but not as good as it was. I will certainly advise others looking to go to South Africa to connect with you. We are already thinking about our next trip to Africa… Thank you again! Sahay"

"Dear Belinda,I’ve been playing “catch up” since returning home, but new are still in awe with the best family vacation ever. The Hotels were wonderful. The Leeu House was like being in a dream. The rooms and service were unbelievable. The Radisson Blu was the perfect place for our family. The family suite gave us a place to hang out and sip wine. The Royal Madikwe was amazing. The Porterfield family was in the Royal Suite which was a separate residence. They were blown away. The service, our guide Doc and the food were wonderful. Marataba’s setting was spectacular. Again the accommodations were first rate. Beautiful lodge, great service and our guide Adam was a hit.Dion our driver in Cape Town was the best, great tour guide and very knowledgeable and helpful. Everything went smoothly.Belinda, you were fantastic! I’ve been telling all our friends about the “Best Family Vacation Ever” and will be sharing your name. Both of our daughters are big on Social Media and they will be posting Glowing Reports.Thanks again for making it all possible.Regards, Larry"

"So, my family are ready for their trip this week. I just wanted to make sure they get met everywhere just like Ronny and I did two years ago. We had such a great experience and I want to make sure my family has the same. Thank you for everything."

"I want to take the time to thank you both for the tips and advice you provided our family with for Cape Town. We LOVED the city and hope to return one day soon. Our safari to Botswana was one we will never forget and the three days in Cape Town were amazing. Everything that TAS lined up (Chapman’s Peak Drive, Boulders, Cape Point, Two Oceans restaurant, Table Mountain, Cheetah rescue, Stellenbosch, etc.) was impeccable and we would highly recommend TAS to other friends."

"I can’t thank you enough for putting together what was truly a once in a lifetime experience in Africa. I am going through my 16,000+ pictures taken during the trip to find some of the best for a photo book and DVD slideshow. We were very impressed with all the TAS representatives. They made us feel extra special!!! The accommodations were incredible for the entire trip! I have forwarded your information to a friend who will be in touch with TAS soon. She loved the pictures I showed her and can’t wait to book. I will be in touch soon with more stories, pictures and comments on our vacation. Randy Carr”

“Overall, this may be the best trip we have ever taken. We loved every day, every moment and every exciting experience.The safari part was the very best. Botswana was wonderful, seeing the animals up close was mind boggling. Mombo and Zarafa should be highly recommended to anyone looking for a special safari experience. Mombo had the very best game viewing and Zarafa was a close second. The guides at both camps are very special and they truly make the trip since you are with them seven hours a day. The camp hosts are wonderful in that they made us feel like invited house guests. The accommodations are over the top.Cape Town and the Stellenbosch was also very worthwhile but they simply can not compete with the animals. We really enjoyed the food and sights in the Cape Town area. It is a beautiful city with friendly and welcoming people. The wine country is stunning. What beauty and what great wines to taste. Leeu Estates was unique and we would also recommend it.Louise you did a great job organizing our trip. Your work was faultless. Your creativity was essential and much appreciated. You made everything seamless and oh so easy. We would not hesitate for a second to recommend you to others.Thank you for your guidance, your direction and your patience. We love you a lot.Many, many thanksDavid and Susan Scholes”

“Our trip was certainly a life changing experience for me”

“A simple note to thank you very much - it's only day one and it's more than we expected. Everything has run so smoothly. We had David today as our guide around Nairobi and he was outstanding. The David Sheldrick Foundation was by far a huge highlight. We adopted an elephant! The lunch at Karen Blixen restaurant was honestly one of the best meals ever! Here are a couple of photos for you to see how happy we are! The package you sent was extremely kind. We love the hats and the packs. Wishing you the best!”

"Simply an extraordinary adventure! The family had a truly amazing experience with our first introduction to Africa and you co-ordinated it expertly. Very much appreciated. Our final two nights in Cape Town were wonderful and the One&Only accommodations were perfect. We will recommend you highly to our friends."

"Just wanted to say thank you for sending us to Angama. This place is so unbelievable I am lost for words - it feels like this is one of the top resorts I have ever been to. Amazing atmosphere and peaceful vibe. Also thank you for the gift packs I just love the lightweight caps for tennis - you are taking it to another league beyond my wildest expectations. I am going to tell everyone about this place!"

"Thank you for encouraging us to come to Franschhoek. I think it is now my favorite place in the world. Leeu [Estates] is excellent and the vineyard property out of this world. We have decided to spend our last day here and have already contacted Ali to pick us up tomorrow at 4pm to head straight to the airport. This has been the perfect way to end our amazing 2 week African family adventure."

"Thanks very much for your help in planning and putting the details together for our trip to Cape Town and Londolozi. We had a truly fabulous time, greatly enhanced by Ali's thoughtful and considerate guidance in Cape Town. Londolozi was beautiful and most impressive, and all our travel between Cape Town, Londolozi and the return to Johannesburg was flawless. La Petite Ferme, in Franschhoek, was a true delight for lunch on our tour the next day. Thanks again for putting together a most enjoyable but far too short visit to your country. We hope to be back again, soon."

"We had a marvellous trip from start to finish including the game park. Everything went smoothly and we thank you for arranging the trip."

"I just wanted to thank you for all your help in organizing our visit to Angama Mara; it was well worth the wait! See attached some pictures of our family breakfasts out in the field, which were probably the most enjoyable for us. We will be using you again in the future!"

Marco is the Gold Standard for YPO Africa Safaris. As a YPO member and former International Board member, his company is my best recommendation. I have been on seven safaris and have had extraordinary experiences when Marco’s company has taken care of me.

“Having the most amazing, amazing time, so very special. Everything has been perfection: Our guide Theo is delightful... the people here are dignified and friendly, and of course the gorillas! Thank you for organising our trip and hope to do many more with you."

We adored the trip you put together. Cape Town was great… the drive through the winelands was wonderful… the safari was great… the kids enjoyed the waves and the sea at Plettenberg Bay… The food was absolutely wonderful everywhere we went. All together we had a wonderful trip thanks to you!

Our holiday was truly the trip of a lifetime. Watching my daughter be stimulated every minute was truly rewarding. She loved learning about South Africa’s history and adored the safari; we both fell in love with the coastline views and of course, the warmth of the people we met everywhere. We can’t wait to come back! All our  arrangements were superbly handled by Timeless Africa Safaris. I can’t thank you enough for all your efforts—we will treasure our memories forever.

On behalf of Mr. & Mrs. Irwin Jaeger, I want to thank you for everything you did to facilitate the most wonderful trip to South Africa, Botswana and Zambia. Your efforts were exemplary.  The Jaegers’, as well as Jeffrey & Kristen, had an adventure that will not soon be forgotten.  Everything went according to plan -- all transportation, transfers, flights, safaris, meals, accommodations were superb.  It could not have gone more smoothly. Thank you again for all of the organizing, the communications, and the considerations on the Jaegers’ behalf. Sincerely,

We really enjoyed our stay in Cape Town and are already looking forward to a return visit!  You were very helpful and we are so thankful for setting up such a wonderful trip for us! Thank you again for such a memorable honeymoon!

We just arrived in NY and we miss Cape Town already. It was so lovely meeting you in person! Many thanks for the magnificent book!
