“Gisela organised our entire honeymoon for us. I contacted her with a destination, a budget and a time frame. She came back with 4-5 suggestions of places to go to and made the important suggestion of NOT going to a busy place as it could mess with the intimacy and privacy a newly wed couple normally seeks on honeymoon. We picked a unique place and it was absolutely lovely. Everything was organised for us when we got there and we had absolutely zero surprises. Apart from contacting Gisela, choosing a place and paying, I didn't have to do anything to organise our honeymoon and we had the time of our lives! I will happily contact Gisela time and time again for future honeymoon re-dos and holidays. Thank you!”

"Gisela Piercey of African Twist Travel has certainly delivered more than 100% when she worked out a tailor-made itinerary for my brother and his wife from Switzerland. Despite the lack of much knowledge of the English language and travel experience, the two felt perfectly safe and comfortable on their 3 weeks long self-drive round trip from Johannesburg to Durban via Swaziland and the classic Garden Route from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town.

They have been raving ever since their return about the many highlights along their journey and would certainly choose the services of African Twist Travel again in future. Thank you Gisela for assisting my relatives to truly experience part of Southern Africa THEIR way."

"We have come to the first anniversary of our marvellous Safari to South Africa, which your excellent organisation made so enjoyable. When a friend suggested that we should not miss out on a Safari, we did not think it possible, given George's disabilities. We phoned you, however, to ascertain if you had any advice for us, and you assured us that you can take care of everything.

I could only walk short distances, and could not handle stairs and bathtubs. The program you organised for us was outstanding, from Cape Town where your guide met us, to Port Elizabeth where we finally bade good bye to South Africa. She was an excellent driver, and being married to a local, she was a mine of information. All the accommodation on the way to the two game parks you booked for us were 5-star, had showers and no stairs.

The game parks Blaauwbosch and Sibuya were most accommodating, with well informed and helpful guides, good accommodation and all the animals you promised us. Your advice to come in April, when the vegetation is not too tall, thus making the wildlife visible, had an added bonus. We did not encounter a single mosquito, nor even flies!"
George Freuden, Australia


“We would like to thank you very much for the unique and out of the ordinary lodge and hotel proposals you came up with. You picked our minds and delivered an excellent service to us.

The administrative handling was also very professional. Thanks to you our trip to South Africa was a memorable and very special experience!!” Christina Stent, Switzerland


“Gisela put together a four week trip through South Africa for us - it turned out to be an absolutely wonderful and unforgettable holiday. She took into account that we were traveling with our two young children and picked the accommodation and activities very carefully to cater for them, too. All accommodation was chosen brilliantly.

We have enjoyed a fantastic hospitality, an outstanding personal service and the food was excellent. Gisela recommended private game reserves where the kids could participate in the safaris with us, and in a completely malaria free environment.

planning service, Gisela has indeed proven how excellent her knowledge of South Africa is. We have enjoyed it so much that we cannot wait to return for another trip.” Family Tschuor, Switzerland


“Recently I was in a pickle. I was planning on getting engaged but had no idea how or where to do it. Fortunately I came in contact with Gisela who not only suggested ideas to make the special day memorable, but also made all the arrangements for me. I was very impressed with the professional and efficient way all my travel and accommodation arrangements were made. In the end it was a weekend staying at a five star game lodge and partaking in a hot-air balloon safari (which is where a popped the question at 1200feet!).

Thanks to Gisela, I now have great memories which will stay with me a lifetime. I will most definitely be making use of her services in the future.” Neels Conradie, South Africa
