My husband and I are grateful that Leigh-Ann Croeser was very patient with us in planning our trip to South Africa next year. She was knowledgeable and listened to what we wanted to see and a couple of times when we needed to change our itinerary and budget. She was very responsive to our concerns. We feel lucky to have her arranging our trip and we highly recommend her to anyone who wishes to visit South Africa.
