Family Friendly Safaris & Vacations in South Africa

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.

We just returned from a fantastic two-week trip to Africa, coordinated by our Zicasso travel agent. We started in South Africa (Cape Town/Franschhoek), then went up to Zimbabwe (Victoria Falls), and to Botswana (Chobe National Park and Okavango Delta). Every step of the trip was well coordinated and seamless. The guides and accommodations were fantastic and comfortable.

I can't say enough positive things about our travel agent. She is the most detail-oriented and responsive travel agent I have ever worked with. She has extensive knowledge of travel in Africa and was able to provide outstanding recommendations for every question we had for her. She checked in with us regularly during the trip to make sure everything was going well, which was greatly appreciated. She genuinely cared about providing us with the best experience possible. I highly recommend using her and her agency if you are thinking about traveling to Africa!

The South Africa trip was a huge success. Everything planned was wonderful, especially Cape Town and Shamwari!

My wife and I had a wonderful experience and met nice people and professional guides that showed us a small part of your beautiful country. The pace of our stay was very good for older folks. We enjoyed Cape Town and all the sightseeing done with our guide: Table Mountain and the scenic drive to Cape of Good Hope, and the time spent in Franschhoek and the guided tour. The time spent at the game reserve gave us exposure to some of the wild animals that we had never seen but in movies or magazines.

Thanks to Zicasso’s travel specialist and her team for preparing our trip. It was very easy and the Zicasso website works very well.

Zicasso’s travel agent was a delight to work with. He turned our extremely ambitious wish list into a two-week dream itinerary that included stays in Cape Town, the Winelands, a safari lodge, and Victoria Falls, and ended with three nights aboard a houseboat on the Chobe River. All accommodations were superb and perfectly situated for enjoying the local scenery and culture. 

We transitioned from the cosmopolitan beachside vibe of Cape Town’s Camps Bay to a safari lodge that looked out on a busy watering hole frequented by hippos, zebras, elephants, antelopes and giraffes. We took advantage of many excursion opportunities: shark-tank diving, a swim in Devil’s Pool above Victoria Falls, a helicopter ride over the falls, ziplining, wine tasting, quad biking through vineyards, and a visit to an elephant sanctuary that included interaction with the animals.

Thanks to our agent’s meticulous planning, each day flowed seamlessly into the next. Transportation to and from airports and excursions was handled by a friendly cast of drivers and guides, all determined to make sure we had the best experience possible. We went to bed each day feeling like it had been the best day of the journey. It’s rare for my expectations to be exceeded, but our agent and his team did just that. It was an extraordinary experience.

Zicasso referred me to a wonderful travel agent for our trip to South Africa, Victoria Falls, and the Okavango Delta. The trip was perfect. Our travel company and agent were very good at listening to our ideas for the trip and budget. The trip went without a wrinkle. This is my second time using Zicasso, and both experiences were great.
