Special thanks to Paul our amazing tour guide in Cape Town, Ian and Sago In kruger safari.

I enjoyed the whale watching the most where the whales are so close by.

I appreciate the commitments by the tour agent as well for helping me to find my lost items.

5/5

Thiam Travel has been very organised and responsive from the start.

Extremely reliable on site with great communication and all the drivers/guides always ready and awaiting for us before the scheduled time.

Definitely worth the money if you want an organised hassle-free safari adventure and a peace of mind!

Shutout to Ian, our driver/guide, who was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Thiam Travels is the perfect guide for multi-generational families!
5/5

Thiam Travels was an exceptional tour operator and crafted an unforgettable South African journey for a group of 11 people ages 11-81! We hit all of the highlights, Capetown area for several days, winelands, intrastate flights to/from the Garden Route, and a malaria-free luxury safari.

Thiam was also very meticulous and able to easily change itineraries when needed because of the weather, (including the tablecloth on Table Mountain) or when we expressed interest to visit a garden.

I would highly recommend Thiam Travels for an expertly crafted experience in South Africa to accommodate any age group.

SURPRISING JOURNEY
5/5

It was completely different from other trips to Africa.
A country waiting to be discovered, everything very unspoiled. Beautiful landscapes, from the rice paddies to the mountains and the plateau, changing every few hours.
Everything was amazing: the roads, the villages, the very friendly people, the cute children always waving.
It wasn't the first time we traveled with Thiam Travels, and as always, everything was fantastic, without any problems.
And it won't be the last.

Excellent service with knowledgable people . Efficient and attention to detail with planning.
5/5

From the moment we connected with Thiam Travel we felt comfortable that we were communicating with an excellent travel coordinator all of the plans as quoted were accurate and interesting . We took day tours with Thiam and Adji they made our family feel very welcome from the first greeting at the airport on arrival . The 6 day tour of the garden route hosted by Sam was an excellent adventure. All arrangements for sightseeing and accommodation was first class . They exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended .
