🌍 Review of Johannesburg Trip 🌍 I recently had the pleasure of experiencing this amazing trip to Johannesburg, South Africa with Ladies Touch and I wanted to share my review of the itinerary and the host hotels. It was truly a memorable adventure, life changing filled with cultural experiences, wildlife encounters, and stunning coastal beauty. Firstly, let's talk about the host hotels. The Voco Hotel Johannesburg provided a comfortable and convenient stay. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the amenities were top-notch. It served as a great base for exploring the vibrant city. Moving on to the safari portion, Rhino Ridge Lodge in Hluhluwe iMfolozi Park was an absolute highlight. The lodge itself was beautifully designed, blending seamlessly with the natural surroundings. The game drives were exceptional, offering unforgettable close encounters with the magnificent wildlife. The knowledgeable guides made the experience even more enriching. And let's not forget the delicious meals provided throughout our stay. Next, we ventured to Durban and stayed at the Oyster Box Hotel. This iconic hotel lived up to its reputation, offering breathtaking views of the sea and luxurious accommodations. The warm hospitality and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of our stay. The welcome dinner was a delightful culinary experience, setting the tone for the rest of our time there. Now, let's dive into the itinerary itself. Day 1 kicked off with our arrival in Johannesburg and a local experience where we were able to pick out fabric and let a local queer designer named Sebo and his team from (@caraciexperience (instagram) and made us outfits from whatever our brains came up in terms of fashion. My outfit came out dope asf! It was a great way to immerse ourselves in the city's vibrant culture right from the start. Day 2 was filled with exploration as we visited the Joburg Sunday Market and embarked on a Soweto City Tour. It was a perfect blend of history, art, and local flavors. The day was well-rounded with delicious meals and fascinating insights into the city's rich heritage. On Day 3, we took a domestic flight to Richards Bay and transferred to Rhino Ridge Lodge for an Evening Game Drive. The excitement of spotting wildlife up close was unparalleled, and the lodge's warm welcome dinner added a touch of luxury to the experience. Days 4 and 5 were dedicated to immersing ourselves in the wonders of the game drives and exploring the Mpembeni Community and St. Lucia Market. The knowledgeable all WOMAN guides provided insightful information about the wildlife and the local community, making this experience truly special. Day 6 marked our transfer to the Oyster Box Hotel, where we were greeted with warm hospitality and another delightful welcome dinner. We got all dressed up with the outfit Sebo made for us and had an amazing dinner. The hotel's location by the sea offered breathtaking views, and the overall experience was nothing short of exceptional. Day 7 took us on a journey to the Valley of 1000 Hills and a Phezulu Village Tour, offering a glimpse into the Zulu culture and traditions. After dinner a few of us went to Rockets where we met @dj_rich_aunti with her friends and parties till the sun came up! Finally, on Day 8, it was time to bid farewell to Johannesburg, but not without enjoying a delicious breakfast. Overall, this adventure provided a perfect balance of cultural immersion, wildlife encounters, and coastal beauty. The host hotels, Voco Hotel Johannesburg, Rhino Ridge Lodge, and Oyster Box Hotel, were exceptional in their own unique ways, offering comfort, luxury, and unforgettable experiences. I highly recommend these trips hosted by Ladies Touch to anyone seeking a diverse and enriching journey through South Africa and other parts of the world . It truly exceeded my expectations and left me with unforgettable memories. 🐾🌿🌊 Thanks Viv for unforgettable experience!

From the moment we landed, our trip was A+! Greated by our on ground transport, he took care of our luggage, visas and checked us in at our hotel where we met up with Vivian. Our Egyptologist was upbeat and thee most knowledgeable person we could’ve asked for. The up-close and personal experience with all the great wonders that Egypt has to offer: The Great Pyramid, Sphinx and uncovered tombs topped our trip. Looking forward to booking a new destination yearly with Ladies Touch!

Well, what can I say! This was my second trip with Vivian, and the Ladies Touch group. I expected the best, and that is what was delivered. I brought along a new traveler, and they loved it, already booking the next trip, and she's ready to ditch her last group. I highly recommend this group, and wish they had other groups like it -Not! There's only 1 Ladies Touch, and Vivian has it sowed up. I will be traveling with this group, for the foreseeable future. Nobody has topped them yet, so....... Just such a great space, a nice way to travel, meet new people, make connections, and be authentic. I can't say enough.......the accommodations, the tours, the jewelry making, OMG, just put the experience over the top. We got learn about the culture, thru' tours, and the guide was so good, like damn. all the hotels were great, the rides, the food, we literally didn't want for nothing. I mean. This really felt like all inclusive to me. I've done all inclusive, and Vivian trips are just as good, maybe a tad better, because of the experience you can't get with all inclusive. An absolute must travel group. KD, Bali, Indonesia
