South Africa Vacation Review: 2 Weeks

I could not have imagined a better trip than the one we had with Zicasso’s travel designer's help! She was very responsive to what we wanted to get out of the adventure and had a lot of great ideas. Besides being incredibly attentive, she made me feel very comfortable with all our decisions for a place that I had never been to and did not know much about. Thank you for making our trip so organized and fun!
