wonderful trip of a lifetime with Cedarberg Africa to Marataba Safari Lodge

Our trip exceeded expectations from beginning to end. Beautiful lodge, delightful staff and guides (Damian was outstanding) and we often had a vehicle and guide to ourselves. We saw elephants, rhino, hippo, lions and giraffe .... no buffalo sightings despite Damian's best efforts. Food at the lodge was fantastic with frequent stops for morning coffee and cakes, sun downers and regular 'bumi' gatherings (guides and guests share an evening ...

Absolutely spectacular will be saving up for our next trip!

Cedarberg Africa are excellent S African travel experts and Ginny helped with lots of detail including ensuring our middle son with diabetes had what he needed in place for the trip. Friendly and approachable and very efficient.

It is always a particular pleasure to help a family enjoy their first taste of Africa together. We knew it was a landmark/celebratory trip too!

We're so pleased all went well and would love to see you back in our office whenever you like, even if just to chat about ideas for the future

Holiday of a lifetime

First time for (South) Africa! And it was amazing. The only regret is that we did not visit earlier

I'm delighted that South Africa was such a hit. Plenty of fresh ideas for a return visit, should that be on the cards in the future! Peter

A safari trip to Zambia

We have been on many safari holidays and used other AITO companies in the past. We were very impressed with the attention to detail that Cedarberg employed in putting the trip together and the end result exceeded our expectations. One of the best safaris we have ever had and we would certainly recommend Cedarberg to others.

Cedarberg is based in East Sussex. We are experienced African Safari-ers and we were trying to put together a trip to Zambia to an area we had enjoyed before but all the quotes we received were extremely expensive. We had not used Cedarberg before and only found their website by accident but some of the points they listed on the site made so much sense, such as choosing a different time of year, rather than our preferred month of September, and using lodges owned by the same group, that we were prompted to get in touch. Peter Bates put together an affordable trip that completely exceeded our expectations.

We're delighted that the safari worked out as well as we all hoped it would!

It was a pleasure putting it together for you, and it was lovely to meet you too - something that doesn't happen very often in our market. Peter.

South Africa safari and travel

Safari at Ulusaba incredible Trip on the Blue train, very luxurious and fantastic food two nights in Cape Town, with a trip of the Cape 4 nights at Thonga Beach Lodge, this was the highlight of our trip, a beautiful deserted beach with snorkelling and diving

Nothing was too much trouble for Milandi at Cedarberg, everything she had organised for us worked like clockwork. All transfers and pick ups were as she had organised

Rating for tour operator:

Helpful, easy to work with and responsive to my comments and questions. Well priced compared to other larger and better known tour operators. Very happy to recommend and use again.

Cedarberg Africa responded to this review on 07 Apr 2016:

We think it is our local base that means we get the good rates which ensure great value. So that is always good to hear from returning clients. Of course we'd like to be as well known as our pricier competitors too!
