Thetravelcafe Reviews

I would recommend the boutique travel agency Travelcaf We went for a self driving circular tour in early September 2024 starting from Cape town The travel was a great mix of what we were exactly looking for and also attention to the pace in the travel in terms of distances or load in the program so one would not feel overrushed and could experience and relax one self a discreet team in the background present in case of need before during and after We were not crying the last day of the travel before heading to the airport as this last day was still dotted with plenty of marvelous sites experiences along the Garden Wine Route We have enjoyed every minute of the travel program and suggestions

We loved everything and most highly recommend The Travel Cafe Hanjia put together an amazing itinerary tailored to our interests made all the arrangements and stopped by our hotel on day one to make sure everything was as we had planned It felt like she was with us at every step in our journey Day trips from Cape Town for whale watching wine tasting and exploring the Cape were great Our stays at both Thabamati Luxury Tented Camp and Kings Camp were both outstanding for game drives and gourmet dining We saw more and different animals than we had hoped The Kings Warren Hide at King s Camp was fantastic for photography and close observation of animals from elephants and hippos to dragonflies and turtles Travel Cafe has got it locked in We will certainly recommend Travel Cafe to any of our friends or relatives considering an Africa trip

JD at the Travel cafe was super helpful in organising our trip to the Cape Practical suggestions and advice and the whole week went off perfectly Thank you - would definitely use them again when we next visit The best aspect was their good communication with us

The Travel Cafe made planning our trip completely stress-free From the detailed itinerary to the thoughtful touch of having food waiting for us upon arrival in Cape Town every aspect was handled with precision and care The attention to detail and professionalism were truly A Now I understand why my friend so enthusiastically recommended The Travel Cafe JD and his team went above and beyond ensuring that every part of our vacation was seamless and enjoyable Highly recommend

The travel cafe created an incredible experience for a large group of us They began with 80 of us in our first 8 days in cape town for a wedding We were brilliantly cared for with every transportation arranged from all the places we were staying and whisked away to 4 vineyards wine farms as they are called in S Africa to the beautiful Cape Horn Table Mountain food tours a Lion s Head hiking excursion as well as helping us book a chef for our airbnb where 10 of us were staying There was never one tiny glitch in this enormous endeavor For the next 4 days 30 of us were flown to Lalibella for an extremely boutique and extravagant safari experience We went on 6 safaris were invited to help change a tracker on a cheetah and give her a wellness check with the vet and found out she was pregnant while doing so Ruan and Jaimee were amazing wildlife guides-extremely knowledgeable and every day was packed with magic wildlife and wonder Breakfast lunch and dinner were all prepared for us and the accomodations were gorgeous and top notch For the last week of our stay 10 of us were flown to Victoria Falls and stayed at the Royal Livingstone hotel-we were greeted with music hand made hibiscus tea and chair massages as we checked in And it only got better from there believe it or not We enjoyed a Boma dinner our first night with local entertainment and hand crafted items to peruse The next days were filled with a tour of Victoria Falls a helicopter ride over the falls with a crazy exciting flight through the nearby gorge a fantastic opportunity to hang over the actual falls with guides holding our ankles after a boat ride to Angel s pool and then a chef created lunch overlooking the falls on the island We attended a full day of another safari in Chobe and 1 2 the day was from a boat so we were able to get up close and personal with hippos and crocs yikes and elephants with their babies Truly amazing The very best of this last 5 days A magical afternoon spent at the Elephant Cafe We were boated over to an elephant sanctuary where rescued elephants hung out We were allowed to feed and be with them for quite some time with their handlers It was life changing and magical Again the lunch itself was delicious and this is a must do if you have the opportunity to participate Hanjia and JD set us up with the Golden Circle which took us from Cape town to Lalibela game reserve to Victoria falls and then back to Cape Town Every flight every detail every transportation each customs situation were all handled flawlessly by the partners The Travel Cafe chose to care for us We ve been to a lot of places in this world and this was hands down the best experience we have ever had
