Good morning Natalie,
I would like you to know that Megan was a great assistance to me with booking my trip. Superb customer service!
I am traveling to South Africa to participate in a Habitat for Humanity build in Lesotho in early May. I had only four days, before departing home, to plan a small adventure.

After going through six different travel companies I came across Maplanga.

Originally, I was very interested in the 2 days Chobe lodge/2 day Victoria Falls Hotel but after finding out the solo traveller price it was beyond my resources. Megan came up with an alternative trip that worked for me financially and gives me an adventure.

Megan was the only travel professional who worked with me and did not pressure me into doing something I did not want to do. Would you believe, I told a travel agent that Victoria Falls has been on my travel list for 25 years, she told me it was a waste of time.

I am very pleased with the arrangements she has made for me. She did a great job!

Regards,
Dianna McKennon

Hi Jeanne,

I just wanted to let you know that I had the most amazing holiday in Botswana and Zimbabwe. Thank you for your input to my itinerary, and for organising all my movement between the two countries, and my stunning accommodation.
I have already recommend you and your agency to colleagues.

Have a great year.
Regards,
Chris Watson

Hi,

Just wanted to say a huge thank you, Sean and I have just returned from Vic Falls and everything was more than we could have expected. Your attention to detail and your organisational skills met our requirements to the tee. The Lodge was wonderful and all of the staff were so pleasant, there is even a resident Hippo living under the bar/restaurant deck which raised a few eyebrows !! We won’t hesitate to use your services again.

Once again, a big thank you


Regards, Janet Larkins

Hi Megan,

Thank you very much for organising the trip for us, all your logistics went well.
We really had a lot of fun, Vic falls was our highlight of our holiday, the falls are really mind blowing and nature at its best.
We ended up doing Botswana Safari whole day trip for our Friday activity and that was also great.

Hi Megan,
You booked a holiday to Chobe National Park and Victoria Falls in March and April this year (2015) for my wife and myself. I am just writing a belated thank you for your wonderful organisation - every transfer was on time and every aspect of your planning was faultless.

We thoroughly enjoyed both the Victoria Falls Hotel and associated activities we undertook in Zimbabwe - the Boma Dinner, river cruise and tour of Victoria Falls. Chobe National Park far exceeded our expectations and the accommodation at Muchenje was sensational made even better by our wonderful hosts - Rob and Joy. The trip was a very memorable experience which was all the more enjoyable because of your suggestions, arrangements and efficient organisation.

Thank you again for all your work and planning of our trip

Hi Sarah
Hope you are well
We had a great trip - all the arrangements were perfect - nobody put a foot wrong!
We loved the hotel - I will be doing a Trip Advisor revue as soon as I get time - and the Luxury Sundowner Cruise on the Zambezi was fantastic
I think the staff in the hospitality industry in South Africa could learn a lot from the Zimbabweans
A couple of pics are attached
We will definitely recommend Maplanga to our friends - and hopefully use you again
Best Regards
Hugh Preston

Just a quick email to let you know we had the most fantastic trip to South Africa and Victoria Falls! All our arrangements went like clockwork and there were no glitches . All in all, the trip exceeded our already high expectations , so thank you for all your hard work. I’ve wanted to come to these places since I was about 6 years old....only took me 58 years, but it was well worth the wait

Anyway , thanks again – I’d be happy to be contacted if you have clients who want more info about any of the above.

Best wishes
Ragn Hannah

Hi Sarah I just want to thank you for all the arrangements made during our 15 day safari. We had a fabulous time and the weather was sunny everyday. We will definitely recommend your company to anyone in the future who wishes to do a safari to South Africa.
Once again thank you and we will definitely keep you in mind for any other trips to this part of the world.
