A Honeymoon Beyond Our Wildest Dreams

We can’t say enough about our experience with Travel Sommelier and Mike in particular! From start to finish, Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with—knowledgeable, responsive, and so much fun. He took the time to truly understand what we wanted for our two-week honeymoon in South Africa and Mozambique, crafting an itinerary that exceeded all of our expectations.

Mike encouraged us to explore experiences we might not have considered, like spending time in Cape Town, and we are so glad we trusted his expertise. Every detail was flawlessly planned, and the trip felt effortless—flights, transfers, accommodations, activities, and dining were all seamlessly coordinated.

The hotels, lodges, and restaurants Mike recommended were simply incredible, each one a perfect reflection of the unique destinations we visited. From luxurious stays to breathtaking safaris to relaxing on pristine beaches, every moment felt thoughtfully curated just for us.

Thanks to Travel Sommelier and Mike, our honeymoon was a once-in-a-lifetime experience filled with unforgettable memories. If you’re planning a special trip, do yourself a favor and work with this amazing team—you won’t regret it!

Travel Sommelier put together such a good itinerary for us for our honeymoon that we are essentially repeating it with both sets of our parents this year—because it was that incredible, and they were that jealous.

From start to finish, working with Darren was an absolute dream. His deep knowledge of South Africa and the Seychelles, combined with his honest and thoughtful recommendations, ensured that every leg of our honeymoon—from safari to wine tasting to beach relaxation—was nothing short of extraordinary. He truly listened to what we were looking for and crafted an itinerary that exceeded every expectation.

The quality of the accommodations and experiences he selected was simply unmatched. Every lodge, hotel, and tour guide felt like the best possible option, offering a perfect blend of luxury, authenticity, and personalized service. The attention to detail was exceptional—our itinerary was seamless, and we were always met by a driver or guide exactly when and where we needed to be, making the entire journey effortless.

One of the most special parts of working with Travel Sommelier was the surprises along the way. From champagne to beautifully plated desserts, every hotel seemed to know it was our honeymoon and went out of their way to celebrate with us. These thoughtful touches made an already incredible trip feel even more magical.

Planning a multi-leg international trip can be overwhelming, but with Darren’s expertise and precision, we never had to worry about a thing. We cannot recommend Travel Sommelier enough and are beyond excited to experience it all again—this time with our families! If you’re looking for a perfectly curated, high-end travel experience, this is the agency to trust.

Travel Sommelier provided an exceptional experience, with every detail checked! The safari they booked for me with Camp Ndlovu was above and beyond anything I could have imagined, and I would have stayed there forever if I could!

We just came back from an fantastic trip in Africa. Travel Sommelier arranged our visit and it was very well planned. We enjoyed all the hotel and lodges in Tanzania that we stayed at. The game reserve at Singita was exceptional. The service and the accommodations were of the highest standards. The staff followed exceptional Covid protocols and we felt very safe and comfortable during our visit. We have taken
multiple trips with Travel Sommelier and they continue to exceed our expectations.

Darren and team planned our two week honeymoon and every single experience and detail was first class. We enjoyed Cape Town, wine country, shark alley, Kruger national park, and the most amazing property on a beach in Mozambique. Darren’s knowledge and connections cannot be topped.

One of the most unprofessional organizations I have ever worked with. Came back almost twice above my budget despite telling me they could come up with a trip in that price point and then refused to go through it to make it work. Plenty of travel agents to work with that will take the time to help.
