Fantastic African Vacation!
We had been trying to schedule a tour of the South African winelands for years, but it was not until we connected with Tom Wilkinson of Audley Travel that we were able to make it a reality. Tom is an African travel professional and SA wine enthusiast, having traveled numerous times to the continent and visited many, if not all, of the Cape Winelands wineries. He was the ideal person to help us plan this trip. From the first conversation we had with Tom, he listened to our desires and was able to quickly suggest timing and itineraries for the Cape Town area. He presented us with a tentative itinerary and helped tweak it to our specific needs and desires. He arranged fantastic hotels/resorts for our stay, and all transfers and visits in the area. All we had to do was show up at the airport - the rest was taken care of seamlessly. We also wanted to visit Victoria Falls during this trip, so, again, Tom made all the travel arrangements for us. He also suggested, since we were so close to Botswana, that we should do a short safari excursion to Chobe National Park. What an outstanding suggestion! Seeing so many animals in the wild was just amazing. The combination of the Winelands, Victoria Falls, and Chobe made for an unforgettable vacation. A few weeks before our trip, we had another conversation with Tom, where he went over all the details and made sure all our questions were answered. Audley Travel also provides a very nice printed binder with daily itineraries and very helpful additional information. Thank you Tom and Audley Travel for a wonderful vacation. We would highly recommend Audley, and Tom specifically, for any African travel plans.
