Trip was well organized by Zicasso’s travel specialist and her team. Support in Kenya with my missing luggage was outstanding. Safari tours, city tours, and the respective accommodations more than met our expectations.

Our trip was absolutely AMAZING!! Zicasso’s travel specialist was always quick to respond to all of our questions and worked to design a trip within our budget. All of the arrangements he made for us were just perfect.
We loved all of the accommodations and the private guides in Cape Town for the day tour and hike up Table Mountain were both great.
The safari accommodations and guides were just incredible. The staff at both lodges were so kind and attentive! We saw the Big Five (more than once) and couldn’t believe how close we were able to get to the animals.
Overall, the trip exceeded our expectations!

This review is long overdue, but better late than never! Zicasso’s travel agent helped us plan our South African adventure and it was the perfect vacation. Everything went completely flawlessly and all the accommodations were fantastic. The communication and service she provided were excellent and I just wish she was the person who could plan all of our vacations. We did Cape Town, Kruger, Zimbabwe, and Botswana, and it was the ultimate bucket-list trip. Her plan made it the best vacation ever!!!

Zicasso’s travel specialist was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable, responsive, accessible, nurturing, and professional. We had a relatively short planning duration for our trip, so decisions were on an accelerated timeline, but she was on top of all of our dates and connections, required documents, etc. She answered so many of our questions and made so many recommendations. My aunt and I felt completely at ease, from the time we landed in Cape Town until we flew home.
The tours, drivers, lodging, and safaris that the travel specialist chose for us were perfect. I've already recommended her to a friend for a future trip and I recommend her to anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime trip that is customized to your budget and timeframe.

Overall, this was an exceptionally well-planned and unforgettable trip! Zicasso’s travel specialist did a phenomenal job planning my group trip through South Africa, Mozambique, Mauritius, and Zimbabwe. From the very beginning, the travel specialist listened carefully to my must-haves and worked diligently to craft the itinerary I envisioned. I’m a very vocal person about what I want and she showed incredible patience and professionalism throughout the process. She refined the itinerary until it perfectly matched my expectations, never losing sight of the details that mattered most to me. Planning a group trip is no small task and she handled every concern, whether rooming adjustments or my frequent emails, with grace and efficiency.
One of the qualities I value most in a travel advisor is responsiveness and she excelled here. She was consistently on top of things, keeping me updated at every stage. Even when certain things took longer than expected, she communicated, which I greatly appreciated. Her advice and feedback throughout the planning process were invaluable.
Having organized group trips for my friends for over eight years, I can confidently say she went above and beyond compared to most other advisors I’ve worked with. Her dedication, professionalism, and genuine care made this experience seamless and enjoyable. I highly recommend our travel specialist and the travel company. They truly set the standard for excellence in travel planning.
