We have just arrived back after the most incredible road trip around South Africa. Jo organised everything perfectly for us, we didn't want to come home. We would even go to say it was our best ever holiday and we have been to some lovely destinations.

Cheryl Short, South Africa

This year we decided to take our kids to see as many animals as possible. Lucy at Sundowner made it happen for us with a magical holiday to South Africa. Everything about it was easy, from booking to execution, even adjustments to fit in a meeting with friends and an extra day due to airline complications. We've been back less than 48 hours and are already planning our next trip with them.

Iain Laurie, South Africa

We recently returned from the most unforgettable honeymoon to South Africa and Seychelles… From the moment we arrived, every detail felt like it had been perfectly crafted for us.

Mehru Raza, South Africa and Seychelles

It was an amazing trip from start to finish with so many highlights along the way, thank you so much for looking after us with the itinerary you produced and the accommodation along the way, there wasn’t a thing we would change

Aaron Harper, South Africa

We had an amazing family holiday in South Africa and Mozambique thanks to the team at Sundowner. Each stop felt different and special, and the whole trip came together beautifully. We’ll be booking again.
