Outstanding Professional Service by Zene D
Very professional service provided by Zene D. Zene, our South Africa consultant, planned our entire itinerary with exceptional attention to detail and care. From the initial planning stages through to the finer on-ground arrangements, everything was handled seamlessly. What truly stood out was her dedication; she was always responsive and even worked over the weekend to promptly address our enquiries and make adjustments when needed. Her commitment, professionalism, and deep knowledge of South Africa gave us complete confidence and made our trip planning experience smooth and stress-free.
