Our South Africa Travel Specialists

Zicasso’s travel specialist was wonderful to work with and very quick to address any concerns or questions we might have. Our trip was a phenomenal experience, with the perfect guides and accommodations. We are very grateful for all the work that was put in on our behalf and have memories that will last a lifetime. I can’t think of anything we could suggest that could be improved. Thank you so much!

We received great communication and stayed in wonderful accommodations. Our driver in Cape Town was outstanding. Everything went smoothly. Zicasso's travel designer was so patient and helpful during the planning stages and preparing us for the trip.

From our initial conversation to finalizing the itinerary and final preparations, Zicasso’s travel consultants have been fantastic to work with. They kept in contact with us during our trip to ensure everything was to our liking, including the last-minute scheduling of car transport when one of our bush planes was canceled due to low clouds.
As for the itinerary and the hotel/lodge/safari recommendations, all were exceptional and offered something different to experience. Our entire trip, from start to finish, was exceptional, with great locations, great safari experiences, and wonderful food.

As you know, we had difficulty deciding between Zicasso's travel specialists for this trip.
As it turned out, the specialist we went with and his team did an exceptional job planning and executing all the details necessary for a memorable trip for me and my family.
I really appreciated how detail-oriented he was and how responsive he was to inquiries pre-trip and, when necessary, during the trip.
He deserves the highest recommendation from the experienced travelers that we are.

Zicasso’s travel agent put together an amazing trip for our family. This travel agent was incredibly responsive.

The trip was the dream of a lifetime. Everything was above and beyond. Zicasso’s travel operator made the process smooth and I had zero to worry about.

I think Zicasso’s travel specialist did a fantastic job and oversaw everything, so we felt comfortable. We had a few incidents that were not pleasant, as in Jordan, with security holding us up going in/out, as we had binoculars that were not in our checked bags. They were really snotty at the border when we were leaving.
We also had a problem in Abu Simbel when our greeter person took us to the site. The guide was late and, once he showed up, we knew he could not go into the monuments. When we came out the first time, he was nowhere to be seen. He showed up 10 minutes later. When we came out of the second monument, again he was nowhere to be seen. Then, before the departure, he disappeared again. When people tell me they will be at a certain location and they are not there, it is disturbing.
Our professional Egyptologists at the museum, pyramids, and on the Nile were all fantastic. The driver in Jordan was always on time and did a good job. The car was small and cramped, but we liked the driver and he did a good job. All went smoothly in Jordan.
We got out the day before the bombing and were in Cairo that morning, so we did not have to deal with the war. It did make us nervous being in Egypt and we left a day early, but got home safely.
Overall, the sites were amazing and it flowed pretty smoothly, but would not have done so without the travel specialist checking in with us each day, and especially after the bombing started. I have used Zicasso three or four times and will continue to do so.

Our trip was incredible. The guides were excellent, especially our guide with 30 years of experience. We were very thankful to have everyone who guided us at the airports, especially in Nairobi, which we would not have been able to get through without their help. The assistance in Zanzibar was very helpful, as one of us did not have a visa yet. We appreciated the guidance and patience from the Zicasso team.
