"Having been given a reason to go to South Africa we had no idea what to expect. Using Hints of South Africa was the best decision we could have made! They totally understood the brief and catered the trip to fit as much in over two weeks which made it feel so much longer than that.
The entire holiday from start to finish was seamless and that is solely down to the organisation and excellent quality of service throughout the trip that Annie and Nick provided. It was so wonderful to hear our hard to please, 20 year old daughter say she thought it was "genuinely the trip of a lifetime".
If anyone is thinking of a trip to South Africa - use Hints of South Africa. You will not regret it!"

"This was, hands - down one of my best vacations. It was perfectly organized. Whether it was a guided tour, places to eat or just entertainment of some sort, everyday was packed with something memorable. My favorite highlight was the Table Mountain trip- An exciting ride via cable car with unforgettable views. If you’re looking for a stress free, fun-filled getaway - Nick & Annie are not only professionals at what they do, but very warm & welcoming as well!"

"Our trip to South Africa was nothing short of incredible. From the moment we arrived, everything was seamlessly organised—transfers were smooth, accommodations were comfortable and well-located, and the itinerary struck the perfect balance between adventure, culture, and relaxation.
What truly made the trip special was the attention to detail and the thoughtful planning behind every day’s activities. There was just the right amount of structure, with flexibility to explore at our own pace. We returned home with unforgettable memories and a real connection to the places we visited.
A huge thank you to the team for creating such a memorable and well-rounded experience. We couldn’t recommend it more highly."

"Dinokeng Game Reserve was incredible—celebrating a beautiful wedding there was a highlight of our SA trip. The safari drives were unforgettable; I did four, each unique, with amazing wildlife sightings. The lodges were excellent and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier.
Simon's Town was charming—even with the cheeky baboons stealing the odd item! Great food, friendly locals, and stunning views from Table Mountain and Cape of Good Hope made it unforgettable. The sunsets were simply breathtaking.
Stellenbosch—just wow. Gorgeous scenery, sipping wine with a mountain view, and our guest house was fabulous. Delicious breakfasts, lovely staff, and total relaxation. The wine tram tour is a must—fun, scenic, and full of laughs.
South Africa gave me memories to last a lifetime. Nick and Annie organised everything perfectly—from pre-trip info to in-country logistics, they thought of it all. The shared WhatsApp group made communication and photo-sharing easy. Their humour, warmth, and attention to detail made this trip truly the best ever!"
