SURPRISING JOURNEY
5/5

It was completely different from other trips to Africa.
A country waiting to be discovered, everything very unspoiled. Beautiful landscapes, from the rice paddies to the mountains and the plateau, changing every few hours.
Everything was amazing: the roads, the villages, the very friendly people, the cute children always waving.
It wasn't the first time we traveled with Thiam Travels, and as always, everything was fantastic, without any problems.
And it won't be the last.

Good
3/5

We had a great time, both our guides were great! However, we felt there was a lack of communication once we arrived at the lodge. There was a bit of lack in detail about the itinerary leaving us confused about certain details or payments left to us. Alongside, not being sure who our guides were because they kept switching depending on the activities for the day. Other than that, we enjoyed our time.

Dear Aria,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly grateful you chose Thiam Travels for your safari adventure and we’re happy to hear that you had a great time and enjoyed the company of our guides.

We sincerely apologize for the confusion and lack of clear communication upon arrival at the lodge. Your experience is very important to us, and we take this feedback seriously. We always aim to provide seamless and well-communicated itineraries, and it’s clear we fell short in this area during your trip.

We’ll be working closely with our lodge partners and ground team to improve the handover process and ensure that our guests receive detailed briefings, clarity on guide arrangements, and any outstanding payments or activity information well in advance.

Thank you again for your honest review. It helps us grow and continue to provide the best experiences possible. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again — with even better communication from start to finish.

Warm regards,
Client Relations | Thiam Travels

Thiam Travels is the perfect guide for multi-generational families!
5/5

Thiam Travels was an exceptional tour operator and crafted an unforgettable South African journey for a group of 11 people ages 11-81! We hit all of the highlights, Capetown area for several days, winelands, intrastate flights to/from the Garden Route, and a malaria-free luxury safari.

Thiam was also very meticulous and able to easily change itineraries when needed because of the weather, (including the tablecloth on Table Mountain) or when we expressed interest to visit a garden.

I would highly recommend Thiam Travels for an expertly crafted experience in South Africa to accommodate any age group.

In 40 years of travel best tour operator we’ve seen
5/5

Tour to Cape Town area, Kruger NP, and Victoria Falls. The notch service and accommodations throughout were provided with a personal touch that makes Thiam Travels the best we have seen in 40 years of travel

Victoria Falls and Botswana Chobe N P extension to 3 week self arranged tour of South Africa
4/5

2 nights at each location Would have been 5 stars but for the food offering not matching the quality of the accommodation, and location of each bring several kms from the centre of Victoria Falls town and Kasane made it very difficult to travel to a better eternal restaurant.

Reliable
5/5

Thiam Travel has been very organised and responsive from the start.

Extremely reliable on site with great communication and all the drivers/guides always ready and awaiting for us before the scheduled time.

Definitely worth the money if you want an organised hassle-free safari adventure and a peace of mind!

Shutout to Ian, our driver/guide, who was very knowledgeable and friendly.
