Top Partners to Guarantee the Best Vacations
I was born in Cornwall into the hotel industry. My family had a big hotel overlooking the most glorious sandy beach and I grew up with the sound of the sea and the knowledge of what really makes a good holiday great!
Coupled with a Cordon Bleu Cooking Diploma from the London School of Cordon Bleu Cookery, my childhood thoughts have combined to be able to offer you the benefits of my experiences.
Food and Wine Come High Up the List
Whilst visiting my Aunt over 24 years ago in Cape Town, I fell in love with the country of South Africa, and Cape Town in particular.
A place where the sun shines brightly, even in winter ... the people are as warm as the summer sun itself, and the abundance of great food and wine is a given.
My family now has it's own Cape Town paradise, which we visit as often as we can. My parents, having retired from the hotel industry, spend six months of the year there and six months back here in the United Kingdom.
Partnering with the Best
Through my knowledge and experience of South Africa, I was asked to collaborate with Specialised South Africa Travel Services, through my website Magical Cape Town Vacations.
Let me explain in more detail ... I had already been working with them in a small way, by refering clients that wanted that extra special travel arrangement made for them.
I liked their philosophy of going the extra mile to make sure that every last detail was carefully arranged, taking into account your requirements ... as opposed to fitting you into the tour already arranged ... your personal tour is arranged just for you.
Specialised African Tour Services
As Barbara Raath, Specialised African Tour Services Managing Director says,
"Travelling with SATS is all about you – and it’s about your dreams, desires and interests.
We get excited about making your wishes come true! Our business runs on relationships, and to start off, just for sending in an enquiry, right away we’ll send you our very interesting free report “South Africa the Good News” on how South Africa has developed over the past 10 years.
Later, when you arrive we’ll meet you with a Welcome Parcel with our compliments. It’s filled with relevant travel and sightseeing information, tips and maps, as well as traditionally South African “goodies” to sample - and a special gift, chosen especially for you.
In addition, we’ll give you discount vouchers for your next trip with SATS – or you can give them to family and friends who would also like to experience South Africa with SATS."
Peace of Mind
I needed to know that you would be receiving the very best service when I recommended you to use Barbara's service and this is what I found ...
Firstly, Barbara is well known in the South African travel industry with over 25 years of travel management experience. Her passion for the company, the clients it serves and her country is evident from the first time you make contact with SATS.
Secondly, SATS is proud to be very closely aligned with internationally recognised UNIGLOBE Travel, the world's largest single-brand travel franchise group.
In fact, SATS in both South Africa and Holland shares some of the same shareholders as UNIGLOBE Travel. This gives them a significant infrastructure, as well access to huge international buying power.
