We couldn’t have dreamed of a more perfect honeymoon. From the moment we connected with Black Tomato, Christie created the perfect safari experience in Zimbabwe for us. It was organized down to the last detail, from the moment we arrived in Johannesburg for our connecting flight to Zimbabwe to the last day of the honeymoon in Victoria Falls. We went to four lodges in Zimbabwe, each was unique but the service across the board was exceptional, and Christie was available throughout to deal with unexpected issues (like a local airline going out of business the night before our flight!). It was the trip of a lifetime which we will never forget, and is definitely the first of many trips we will book through Black Tomato.
We worked with Luca from Black Tomato for our honeymoon, and he booked us just an unbelievable experience in South Africa and Mozambique. I don’t think we would have been able to do something like this without them, and we highly recommend anyone looking to book a trip to approach Black Tomato with confidence! We can’t wait to work with them again for our next trip 🙂 Thank you Luca!
Black Tomato’s recommendationts were great, since we started planning the trip they immediately grasped what we wanted out of the trip and put a fantastic plan together for us. Also, their organization was impecable and everyhting was planned to the detail.
The most incredible trip ever! Honeymoons are supposed to be incredible right? For our ‘trip of a lifetime’ we were seeking something a little adventurous teamed with animal spotting and some time out on a white sandy beach. My husband-to-be had done the ‘traditional’ safari x beach combination and I was keen to ensure we were going somewhere neither of us had been before. That’s when the Black Tomato team really showed their expertise. Suggesting Borneo – a place we’d never have thought of in a million years and reeling us in with an exceptional itinerary comprising jungle sunset boat safaris – spotting a lone orangutan in the wild along the way! – snorkelling off a private island, rickety jungle airplanes, orangutan sanctuaries and many many memories. As well as being an utter joy to work with, other little touches of Black Tomato magic I still wax lyrical about; a fictional book sent to us before we departed set deep in the Borneo jungle, a copy of The Week and a film to watch to “put off the vacation washing” greeted us on our return. It’s been a while since our trip and occasionally we’ll unearth a picture of us two meters away from a pygmy elephant or crying with laughter as we recalled that time the teeniest fish chased my new husband out of the Celebes Sea. Thank you Black Tomato for helping us in plotting the most exceptional of honeymoons – cannot recommend you enough!
