Traveled in December 2024 "Our family trip to Thailand was an exceptional experience. Each destination offered a unique charm and adventure, making it a perfect getaway for us. The hospitality of the Thai people, combined with the rich culture and stunning landscapes, made this journey unforgettable. We traveled through Bangkok, Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai and Phuket. Thailand, you have captured our hearts, and we can't wait to return! I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible service provided by Karen Dewhurst, our travel agent, who expertly crafted an unforgettable trip for our family, including my 85-year-old mom. From start to finish, every detail was thoughtfully arranged, allowing us to enjoy our journey without any stress or worry. The website was an essential tool as we continued to utilize as a quick reference during our travels and we highly recommend using Karen Dewhurst at Sikeleli Travel. Thank you! And now for booking our next excursion"

Travelled in August 2024 |  "Everything was perfect! I was amazed at how well it went. There was not one misstep or snafu. Truly remarkable It was a trip of a lifetime. We are still talking about our trip and miss the sounds of the wild animals at night outside our luxurious accommodations. Seeing wild animals up close and in their natural habitat is something none of us will forget. It changed us. It took the city out of us and we long for the peaceful sounds of the African wild. The people who took care of us at the camps could not have been more welcoming, caring, and friendly. Our personal guides were so knowledgeable about the animals and the terrain and ensured we always had a memorable experience from sunrise to sundown. They took such good care of us. The sundowner sunsets are unlike anything we have seen anywhere, so beautiful. We hope we can do this again one day. Just keep doing what you are doing. Karen was very patient and helpful the whole way. It is a huge expense, but Karen assured me it was worth it and it definitely was; we do not regret one... Read More

Travelled in September 2024 | - Repeat guests  "I would not hesitate to use Sikeleli Travel again and would also recommend them to anyone who is interested in going on safari. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to East Africa with Sikeleli Travel. We had used them on a previous occasion to South Africa and did not hesitate to reach out to them again once we decided on our next adventure. Our trip was roughly two years in the making, and Karen (our trip coordinator) was very patient as well as attentive to our needs. She offered a few different options for us to choose from. She asked what our priorities were and what we wanted to achieve on this trip. She took care of every detail, including processing our visas; basically, all we had to do was pack our bags. From the time we arrived in Nairobi to the time we left Zanzibar, we did not have to worry about how we were going to get from one place to the next. We could not have asked for better accommodations; we stayed in six separate locations. Each location offered a unique experience. It is hard to pick which hotel, camp,... Read More

Travelled in September 2024 |  "My daughter and I recently went on a 3 week adventure to Europe, booked through Danni Ponter and Karen Dewhurst of Sikileli Travel (absolute experts in their field) who personalized our trip as per our choices and preferences with painstaking thought and care, providing us with information that we hadn’t even thought of!! The countries we visited were Italy, Spain and Portugal. In each country we visited 2 or 3 cities/towns, the first being Italy - Sorrento, Florence and Milan. Sorrento was my absolute favorite with the pretty and quaint streets and hidden gems for next level meals. Next stop was Portugal which was quite an eye opener with regards to the vibe. Visited Porto and Lisbon which we loved.Next country was Spain in which we visited both Seville and Barcelona which is definitely the party capital and so exciting and intriguing. Our favorite however was Italy for the food, sights and scenery and of course the shopping. Many thanks to your team for the most special  “mother daughter” trip with memories that will last a lifetime.I can highly recommend Sikileli Travel agents as they had honestly thought of everything, including transfers, pickups, train tickets,...

Travelled in August 2024 |  "From the moment we landed in Joburg, we were treated like VIP's. The greeters, the drivers..all on time and so professional! Flight to Zimbabwe was easy...not a single misstep..Verneys: Once there we were absolutely treated like family. The staff were simply the best we ever had!Everyone looked after and enjoyed our grandchildren as if they  were their own! The two guides were amaaaaazing! Especially sweet with our 5 year old...unbelievable. The elephants around the tents and watering hole were simply an out of body experience. The safari drives were terrific...so much to see and our guides were so informative and very educational...Loved it all! Victoria Falls was a dream. The lodge was gorgeous. Very clean and "ritzy". The staff..., again, were terrific. Couldn't have been better. The meals were scrumptious and our waiter was divine! Chips, our guide, was lovely! Victoria Falls itself was magnificent..speechless beauty! Chips was so kind that during our afternoon break he drove us into town to the marketplace! It was simply perfect! Kudo's to the entire team! Again, landed in Cape town and the people hired to greet and dispatch us were there and ready for us. Wonderful! The hotel I chose, The... Read More
