Recent travellers
Word from people who have just been to Walvis Bay.
Quotes pulled directly from Trustpilot. Where we have specific reviews mentioning Walvis Bay, those come up first. Otherwise these are recent five-star notes from across the trips we have planned.
"Very helpful with itinerary and excellent arrangements of transport from and to Cape Town, and Idubi in Sabi Sands and Lukimbi in Kruger. Although a rep for Safari.com said a letter from a doctor was not required, such a letter IS REQUIRED to go on bush walks if older than 65. Fortunately, we checked the reserve web site and had a doctor's letter."
"The professional, polite and efficient attitude towards us,was paramount. Qualities rarely used and found these days . Thankyou. Mrs Ina Climas."
"Monica was an amazing advisor. Patient, highly responsive and she tailored an imaginative and original itinerary for us. It is clear she knew much about the various options and listened to what we needed to come up with a great solution. Extremely proactive and responsive, making the booking a pleasure"
