We had an excellent experience with Zicasso’s travel specialist and our travel agent specifically. Planning a trip so far away is never easy! However, our travel specialist took our vision for our honeymoon and made it a reality! Her communication was always extremely prompt and professional.
I wanted several iterations and edits to our itinerary, trying to meet certain goals and price points, and she worked with me until we got exactly what we wanted. We were extremely impressed throughout our entire trip.
All of our guides were prompt and professional, and we didn't experience a single logistical hiccup, which feels like quite the miracle for a two-week trip a 15-hour flight away from home for us. We would highly recommend this travel company’s services for all of your South African travel needs.

What an amazing trip! Everything at MalaMala was first-class. Our daily guide was extremely professional and very engaging. The emphasis on photography during our stay was a unique concept. Our time in the hide at our lodge near Victoria Falls proved to be one of our trip highlights.

Zicasso's travel company did a great job with all the details. Every pick-up ride was waiting, small planes were as scheduled, and camps and lodges were expecting us. Our private guide was amazing. Camps were fantastic, with wonderful staff who became family.
Our lodge at Ngorongoro Crater was a nice change from camps at the end of the week. A key to the intelligent schedule was to send us to West Serengeti first. We caught the migration in its full glory. Most safari travelers we met did it in reverse, starting at Ngorongoro, and may have missed much of the migration. As a “lucky” bonus, white rhinos were introduced at Ngorongoro two days before we got there and we got to observe the interesting reaction of the existing black rhinos to these larger relatives. We saw every common animal species that exists in the Serengeti. That included 85 different lions and 13 different cheetahs.
This trip exceeded all our expectations and the direction and oversight by the travel company was spot-on. I can recommend this tour operator without any reservation.

Our trip to South Africa was nothing short of extraordinary and exceeded every expectation. From the breathtaking vineyards of Franschhoek to the vibrant energy of Cape Town and the unforgettable wildlife experiences at our safari lodge in the Thornybush Game Reserve, every part of the journey was truly magical.
Zicasso’s travel specialist truly did an amazing job, creating the perfect itinerary that met our needs exactly for our party of 11. Additionally, he was extremely responsive, even while we were in South Africa, when I had a simple question regarding gratuity. We had a number of adjustments and changes as we had three families coming in at different times, and he offered multiple options to ensure we all met our budgets and needs. I would definitely use this travel company again for an African trip. The trip was flawlessly executed.
