Erik & Lief - Belgium - September 2024

With three adult couples (family members), we enjoyed a wonderful, well-organized vacation in South Africa from September 24 to October 8.

Our travel guides, Annick and Hai, had carefully prepared an excellent, tailor-made travel itinerary well in advance. During the trip, we explored Cape Town and its surrounding areas, with highlights such as Table Mountain, Cape Point, the Cape of Good Hope, Simon's Town, the penguins at Boulders Beach, and the historic buildings of St. James.

We also savoured a stay at a Private Game Reserve (safari park), visited Plettenberg Bay and the Langa Township, and experienced the whale capital of Hermanus. And that’s not even mentioning the majestic Cederberg Mountains and the West Coast National Park, which captivated us with its floral beauty and rugged landscapes.

The comfortable accommodations, outstanding wine safaris, culinary delights, and the warm, informal atmosphere created by hosts and guests alike made this adventure truly unforgettable.

The organizers at Maîté Iphupho, despite their relatively short existence, have already gained impressive experience, ensuring their guests discover the rich history and culture of South Africa under the best possible circumstances. We enjoyed this trip in the most relaxed and enjoyable way.

A heartfelt thank you to Annick and Hai for this unique experience!

Ivo & Els - Belgium -  September 2024

For my sweetheart’s 50th birthday, I arranged a trip to South Africa with Annick and Harry. Honestly, I was the one really eager to go, while she wasn’t fully convinced due to the long flight and the busy itinerary. But it turned out to be a fantastic journey, thanks to the personal guidance and the wealth of knowledge they’ve built up over the years about South Africa. Definitely worth repeating. Thank you, Annick and Harry!

Dave & Kathy - South-Africa - August 2024

We had a great and interesting round trip with Annick and Hendrik, overnighting in beautiful Yzerfontein , the flowers in West Coast Nature Reserve and then wine tasting at two wine farms, Grootepos (delicious lunch at their restaurant) and Blakes in the district of Darling. Thank you!

Cebo -  South Africa -  August 2024

I stayed at this apartment/ cottage for over two months and my stay here was nothing short of amazing! Spacious, modern, well designed, fully equipped 1 bedroom apartment in such quiet and safe area in Somerset. The hosts are also such good people, really felt at home

Back from a week in South Africa. We had the time of our lives celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary. It was fantastic, especially with Maîté Iphupho. They organized everything superbly, from food to activities – just top-notch! 😍 Thank you for this wonderful guided trip, catering to everyone's tastes. 😍😍😍 Definitely worth repeating! 😍

Maximilian - Germany - December 2023

I had a great stay in Somerset West. Great location with Helderberg view, clean accomodation and easy. Annick and Hendrik were really helpful and can help planning activities in the area and the entire country since they also run a travel agency. Very convenient.

Karine - Belgium - December 2023

Everything is in perfect order at the home of Annick and Hendrik. They allowed me to see what I wanted to see and gave me the freedom to pursue my own interests. The itinerary wasn't overloaded, which is often a drawback with other travel agencies. There is so much more to South Africa than just checking off the highlights.

Hayley - Dubai - December 2023

This is a true gem, a beautifully appointed property, safe and secure, a lovely pool, extremely well located with easy access to all surrounding areas, shops close by, and last but certainly not least, the most fantastic hosts, very friendly, unintrusive but there whenever you need them, and just all round lovely people. Will definitely stay here again.

Peter & Monique - Belgium - September 2023

We've had a fantastic holiday in South Africa at Maîté Iphupho's residence. We visited, among other places, Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Cape Of Good Hope, Franschhoek, Western Cape, Plankiesbaai, Chapman's Peak, Hout Bay Harbour, Bo-Kaap, Waterfront, Muizenberg, Hermanus, and many other attractions that I momentarily forget to mention here.

The floral beauty at this time of the year is overwhelming, with both wildflowers and the flowers in Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden being numerous and colorful. The South African King Protea, also known as sugarbush, is the national pride of South Africa, but the other flowers are equally worth the visit.

Our safari experience was once again fantastic; we spent it at the Garden Route Game Lodge and saw the Big Five along with many other beautiful animals.

You can't miss the wine estates in South Africa, especially in Paarl, Elgin, Robertson, Franschhoek, Stellenbosch, etc. We visited Babylonstoren Wine Estate in Paarl, enjoying a splendid tour and tasting... delicious wine!

I won't spoil everything there is to see, and I suggest discovering it for yourself, which will be a dream come true for everyone.

The organizers, Annic & Harry, do everything in their power to make your holiday unforgettable. We stayed in their charming studio, unfortunately couldn't enjoy the pool due to the bad weather. Every morning, we indulged in a sumptuous breakfast.

Alfons & Jeannine -  Belgium - September 2023

A dream come true. What a journey! Everything meticulously organized. You've truly gone above and beyond to provide us with a beautiful trip. Highly recommended! Thank you, and until we meet again 💋

Harry & Jacqueline -  Belgium - September 2023

In September 2023, we embarked on a wonderful journey in South Africa with 3 couples under the guidance of Hendrik (Hai) and Annick from Maite. With Hai at the helm of a minibus, we explored unforgettable destinations in the Western Cape. It was a tailor-made trip, and after a discussion, we received a proposed itinerary, with adjustments made according to everyone's preferences.

The abundance of natural beauty was astounding, with everything in full bloom during September, the spring season. Some noteworthy places included Western Head of Knysna, Hermanus with its breathtaking coastline and the opportunity to spot whales, the West Coast National Park with a sea of colorful wildflowers, The Cape with False Bay, Boulders Beach with African penguins, Cape Point, Cape of Good Hope, Chapman's Peak Drive along the Atlantic coast, Hout Bay Harbour with seals.

We also had a safari to encounter the Big Five, tasted award-winning wines in Stellenbosch vineyards, explored a Township with a local guide, and took the cable car to the top of Table Mountain.

The trip was incredibly relaxing for us—no stress, a well-filled but not overloaded itinerary, comfortable accommodations, delicious food—everything was perfectly arranged, always with a smile and a joke. The financial aspect was also accurate, as everything was included except for personal purchases, ensuring no worries in that regard as well.

Leo & Marie Jeanne -  Belgium -  September 2023

Well-organized. The proposed itinerary was neatly structured and outlined

Anonymous review - May 2023

Very easily accessible. Secure parking behind an electric gate. Extremely friendly hostess. Everything was impeccably clean with all necessary amenities. Will definitely return

Bernice - South-Africa - April 2023

A very welcoming, cozy, and private stay! Everything you need is provided. Comfortable, private, and makes you feel at home.

Armand - Cape Town - March 2023

Annick’s place well exceeded my expectations. While originally looking for a place to sleep, finding this place was a true gem. Not only does it far exceed the description, it's a brand new beautiful apartment perfect for a couple to stay in the area, but having incredible hosts like Annick and Hendrik turned it from just a place to stay to a temporary home.
Everything from the recommendations, to good selection of welcome wine in the fridge made this a very memorable stay.
I would highly recommend anyone looking to stay in the area to stay with Annick and Hendrik. It's also right at the foot of the Helderberg which if you're into mountains is a must do in the area.

Kori - Cape Town - March 2023

Great host and great place to stay. Will definitely book this place again in the future.

Zolani - South Africa -  March 2023

Very clean and tidy place in the a central location that is walkable to all the main sites. The check in and check out process was seamless and flexible too. Ideal location, spacious apartment and well equipped – perfect for a few days in Somerset West. Communication with Annick was very easy, and the photo directions for finding the place were a great help. Highly recommended
