The Travel Cafe Cape Town

We were very happy with the service we received from Travel Café, throughout the process of arranging our recent holiday in South Africa. The itinerary was well-judged and they were quick to take on board our feedback to ensure that everything was exactly as we wanted. The house in Cape Town was great and a very good base from which to explore. We particularly appreciated the responsiveness of Charlotte and her team whenever we had any queries and also liked the way that while there were suggestions and recommendations as to restaurants and activities, we were also free to go our own way. Travel Café curated our holiday beautifully and I would have no hesitation recommending them to anyone considering a holiday in South Africa.

Our recent trip to SAF, Zimbabwe and Botswana organized by the special people at the Travel Cafe was beyond our expectations. Organizing this trip with François and JD wa easy as they listened to our wishes and really planned a beautiful itinerary. From the guides, to the fabulous accommodations, we could not have been happier. We were so well taken care of from start to finish. We were so grateful to find this company when looking for a small group tour and have already recommended them to many others..

I give only 5 stars since I cannot add more. The best travel agency ever. Always quickly supporting you for every request. The staff is great and passionate. Charlotte organised our honeymoon around South Africa (Cape Town area, Kruger, Johannesburg, Panorama Route) also providing a customised mobile app with the whole travel plan including all the details and contacts. It was very user-friendly. Other than that, they offer real time support via whatsapp, also this was really appreciated. The accomodations and tour they organised were fantastic! Ziggy and Vuyani, our guides, were kind, professional and available to meet all our needs. Compared to other agencies, they offer a far better price/quality ratio! Highly suggested

If you are looking for a custom trip that is full of special hotels, restaurants and locations to visit, this is the tour company for you. Francois, JD and their whole team were very responsive to all our requests and we couldn't have been happier with the outcome. It was a seamless trip from beginning to end. The booklet and app itinerary were excellent, we always knew what we were doing and when. I enjoyed that the restaurants chosen were all local, all different and we were able to order what we wanted, not just a canned buffet. The variety of accommodations was impressive too. The price was certainly right for all we got. Thank you Travel Cafe for this remarkable experience. We will hopefully work with you again on another African adventure!

Francois, JD and the full Travel Café Team designed a wonderful Africa experience for us. They handled all the details which allowed us to focus on enjoying all of our "bucket list" events they had arranged. We loved that the accommodations, restaurants and guides were all local and excellent. Overall this was our best vacation ever - and we have had many good ones!

This trip was a dream come true! From the moment I saw the itinerary, I knew I had to go and take my sister with me. The planning and getting there was seamless, with the help of JD and The Travel Cafe Cape Town. We really appreciated the Zoom calls prior to our trip to get more details and have questions answered. It was all amazing but the biggest surprise for me was how much I loved Cape Town. What a beautiful, clean, friendly, metropolitan city. There was so much to see and do, without spending hours on a bus. The small group is the way to go. Such a personalized, attentive feeling you get at every destination! Timbivati was amazing but different than what I thought it was going to be like. Honestly I thought there would be more wildlife and not so hard to get a sighting. But it was kind of like going on a hunt! The landscape was breathtaking, at sunrise and sunset. Not having a whole bunch of other vehicles, competing for space and sightings was also great. Definitely a more private experience. We loved the stops to chat, eat, and drink midway through the drive. It was such a special, luxury camp, and the setting, food, ambiance and people were fantastic. Truly a boutique five star experience, in the middle of the bush! Victoria Falls, the Royal Livingstone Hotel and steam train dinner just capped off a perfect trip. Everyday we said, “oh it can’t get much better than this” but it always did. There were surprises around every corner. Our trip was EPIC. We truly felt like family by the end and were happy to meet and spend time and experiences with Francois and your mom and dad. For Kathy and I, family is EVERYTHING so it was great to feel like we fit right in with yours ❤️. We loved having a personal, professional photographer too!!! So many great pictures to cherish and remind us how blessed we were to experience Africa, on an authentic adventure that will remain embedded in our hearts. Thank you.

We are so pleased that we found the Travel Cafe to organise our trip. Charlotte planned it all exactly to our needs and we cannot recommend The Travel Cafe highly enough. A special thanks to JD and Francois for hosting us at Starry Starry Night. We have had a fantastic holiday ticking off Kate’s bucket list and will be in touch again for our next trip to Africa!

We have just returned to the UK after the most fantastic holiday in the western Cape organised by JD. We stayed in some utterly wonderful hotels, ate in some fabulous restaurants and went on some amazing excursions all arranged by this very knowledgeable and friendly South African 😁🇿🇦. The Travel Café is skillful at adding personal touches to an itinerary and making excellent suggestions that put them in a different league of tour operator altogether. Thank you JD 👏😊🥰
