What do our guests who travelled with us have to say about us?       

Here are extracts from letters and questionnaires wherein guests expressed their feelings towards the service we provided while travelling around southern Africa with us.

If this page seems a little disorganised it is because we leave it as original as the letters we get. Where letters got a little long we had to shorten it a bit to keep the answers short and sweet!

I am writing to thank you for a well planned and well organised trip.

I have enjoyed every single moment and loved all that I have seen of South Africa. Your choice of hotels were all excellent.

The two travel guides were informative and helpful, in particular young Deon Alexander.

Thank you once again for everything, I have been well cared for, and loved every moment, and I am very sad that it is now over. I could gladly do this trip over all again with Southern Circle Tours. My congratulations and grateful thanks to all at Southern Circle Tours and Safaris.

Hey!
Just got home an hour ago and wanted to write you immediately!  We had such an incredible trip!  Everything was perfect.  From the Southern Circle people - especially Jac and Dave - to the different venues to the game drives, Capetown tour and shark dive we were thrilled and so was everyone else.  Thanks for  the itinerary!
The people were so wonderful and really sincerely treated us like special guests as opposed to just more tourists.  They were great with introductions and names.  It was awesome across the board.

Dear Jac,
I can't say thank you enough for taking care of Alana and I during our tour.  I learned a lot and felt like I understood the country far better than I would have if we had been on our own.  Thanks for your kindness, attention to detail and keeping us safe.  Keep in touch. 
All the best,
Rich and Alana

Belgian School of Kinshasa, Southern Circle Tours and Safaris, Testimonials PDF Print E-mail
Dear Sir,
The Belgian School of Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of the Congo) was very happy and highly satisfied with the school trip organized by your agency. Accommodation, transport, food, you just name it: everything was perfect.
We would like to thank your two guides, Bo Lensink and Rean Engelbrecht, in particular. They have proved to be excellent tour guides. As we told you on the way to Cape Town airport, we kindly baptised them "Bunji jumping tour engineers" because of their flexibility and their friendliness. They were always there to lend an ear.
On out trip to Seal Island we came upon the following inscription in the ship's cabin "It's a swell ship to the skipper, but quite a hell to the crew." In our case, we were the skipper and they were the crew, we were the clients and they had to indulge our whims. And they always did it with a smile.
This letter is our mark of gratitude towards them. If our school intends doing another trip to South Africa next year, we will be happy to meet with them again.

Yours sincerely
Johan Verhagte, Jacques Dauvister
