Top Reviews for DesignAfrique

"What a wonderful trip! The biggest thanks go to you, Bettina. You made it possible for us to have a trip perfectly tailored to our needs. The lodges were all very nice. We felt very comfortable in every single one. Our trip was problem-free and if we had any questions we could contact you at any time. We were able to experience the Big5 up close and visited the most beautiful places in South Africa thanks to your tips. It was a breathtaking trip that we will never forget. We will definitely be coming back again.“

Hassan Ayoub

“What a great trip! Although Bettina didn’t know us at all, we felt Bettina’s proposal for our trip was greatly tailored to our personal preference! We enjoyed every detail of the tour, accommodation was very special for each location, the tour, and the travel distance were wisely chosen and everything worked out great. Thanks, Bettina for collating this wonderful trip! If we ever come back we would like to rely on your expertise again and will recommend you to our friends!”

Antje Blank

"Bettina has designed the best tour of South Africa we can imagine. She has booked the best places for us to stay, relax, and enjoy at a very competitive price. We had a fantastic trip (game drive, diving, visits, shark watching...). Bettina was available and helpful for us all along the process of booking. Don't look any further, book your trip to South Africa with Bettina and DesignAfrique Tours!!!"

Virginie Barrere

"The tour was tailored to our needs - with all our wishes. The support during our trip was perfect! We were able to experience the Big5 up close and we have seen many animals. In addition, we also saw "Wild Dogs". The lodges were beautiful and we felt very comfortable everywhere. I would give more stars if there were more stars! Always gladly again!"

Elisabeth Rechling

"Thank you very much for the great planning of my SA trip. Everything worked out great and I was able to enjoy everything stress-free. It was nice to meet you personally and to meet you with a nice welcome and a wonderful evening together I started in Cape Town thanks to you."

Sunny Vogt

“Bettina at DesignAfrique Tours helped me plan the most amazing honeymoon. She was extremely professional and communicative. She has an extremely broad base of knowledge about South Africa and all of its gems. From safari to wine country, our trip was seamless. And as a local of Cape Town, and having lived in Johannesburg in the past, she has a great pulse on the local life, able to recommend dining spots, bars, and even hikes. 100% recommend DesignAfrique Tours to plan all of your South Africa travel booking needs.”
