We decided to ask Pulse Africa to organize our holiday to South Africa over Christmas and New Year and were delighted with every aspect of the trip they put together for us. We felt that they really listened to us when we were explaining what sort of things we wanted to see and do on our trip and they came up with the most amazing experiences and places to stay that without their detailed knowledge we would never have had a hope of finding. What particularly impressed us was their advice to see South Africa on the ground rather than fly everywhere. This gave us the opportunity to really see this beautiful country for what it is. We found that using Pulse Africa saved us a huge amount of time in planning our trip and in fact saved us money too as they were no more expensive than had we booked everything direct ourselves. There is quite simply no benefit from booking a trip like this oneself as Pulse Africa’s experience and detailed knowledge of all our destinations was vital. I have heard that they do not book or recommend any hotel, lodge, camp etc if they have not visited it personally.
Thank you, Pulse Africa and your amazing team, next time Tanzania where you will be busy again!
