Dream engagement trip in SA customized by a fantastic, customer-focused local team
I contacted Travel For Life as I was planning an engagement trip. As we live in London, I felt I needed local help to plan this trip to perfection. I wanted it to be special and memorable but had no idea where to start.
After a few exchanges (Email and skype) with Travel For Life, to understand our personalities, interests, expectations and budget, they suggested a very detailed customized itinerary which we then discussed and amended based on their feedback. They are very friendly, easy to communicate with and very flexible to our needs. They always answered all our questions promptly and finalized an itinerary that perfectly suited our needs.
We were impressed by their local knowledge and all their recommendations were spot on. Their partners (for car transfers, hotels, tours) are reliable and deliver outstanding customer service. We had the trip of our lives in SA (which was even better than our honeymoon in Costa Rica) and we can't thank Travel For Life enough for making this happen. We absolutely recommend them and will definitely contact them again on our next trip.

Excellent service from team that know the reserves they suggest and understand the needs of a family
Travel for life provided us with a once in a lifetime babymoon break which our family loved. The travel for life team replied to our request very quickly and provided us with an informative colour brochure to the destination they recommended based on our initial brief. It was really helpful that the team had personally visited the destination they were recommending so they could answer our questions on the type of accommodation to book ( e.g. Beds for our toddler, pregnancy suitability, child care availability, kids activities etc). Once booked the travel for life team followed up with the lodge the day before we travelled to ensure everything was ready for our stay which was reassuring as I was heavily pregnant.
The break was perfect and exactly what we hoped for with very little activity required from us to book which is exactly the service I love!

It's like having a personal travel concierge for SA
My wife and I wanted to visit SA for our honeymoon. Living in Singapore and never having visited SA before, we had no idea where or how to get started. Thru a friend's recommendation, we went to Travel for Life and they were a one stop shop that planned everything! They took the time to speak with us to understand our personalities and what we wanted before customising our itinerary. From Cape Town to Winelands to Safari, every leg surpassed our expectations. The itinerary was detailed and exactly on point with no hiccups.
It was our most momentous trip, and we will be contacting Travel for Life again on our next trip.

Seamless experience making a holiday into the unknown a dream!
Booking a holiday to South Africa sitting in London can be a daunting experience. It's a huge country with so much to do, and many unknowns. I was recommended TravelForLife by a friend in London, and they are part of the reason why we had the holiday of a lifetime, and are now considering a wedding back in the winelands.
We entrusted TFL with our whole holiday. We simply said how many days we wanted to spend in each region with a certain budget (4 in Cape Town, 3 in Stellenbosch, 4 safari) and left the rest up to them. What we got in return was a schedule meeting our every need, from quality, affordable hotels to pre arranged car hire and taxi rides from the Airport to the safari.
The safari itself was an unreal experience. Yes the journey from J'Borg is 4+ hours! But it is worth every minute especially when organised by TFL. We landed at the airport with a driver waiting, all pre paid. The safari lodge was simply 5 star (Motswiri) and the service was impeccable.
I cannot recommend TFL highly enough. I may even entrust them with organising chunks of my wedding! Don't spend hours looking trip advisor for hotels and safaris. Tell the TFL experts exactly what you want, and they'll find it for you. Sit back and relax and enjoy this amazing country.
Jay, from London
