Similar to all other reviews, Carmen made our time in South Africa quite the adventure!!  We had an amazing time swimming with an Elephant.  We also had a Pottery class with a local artist. Everything is smooth and Carmen takes care of you like you are family!  Highly recommend!

Had an amazing adventure with Carmen and her team!  I celebrated my 50th birthday and Carmen made sure to make it memorable!  I can’t thank her and her team enough and would highly recommend them to anybody visiting Africa🤍

Carmen and her staff treated us like family! 🤗🩷 They were so welcoming, kind, thoughtful and so patient! Being in a foreign country can be a bit overwhelming, but Carmen and her team made sure to make us feel completely at home and completely welcome. It was like we’ve known them forever! Each adventure that we scheduled was completely unique and the only way to truly describe it is the most magical 🤩experience anyone could ever wish for!  Words just aren’t enough to express the gratitude that I feel for this trip of a lifetime! Carmen and her team made it greater than I couldn’t ever imagined!  Thank you so much Carmen! 🙏 🩷

I am so thankful for this beautiful oasis. The hubby was on a hunting safari and the Kartula Adventures provided an opportunity for us ladies to experience all that Africa has to offer. We did the Cat Sanctuary,  Pottery class, Elephant Adventure (my most favorite was swimming with the elephants!) and the paint and sip. Her whole team were just simply amazing 👏. Thank you Carmen, Altus, Perry, Elizabeth, Surita and Mari-Ana, etc for making our trip memorable. I will definitely come back for more. God bless you all ❤️

Carmen’s adventures are an absolute MUST see and do! Everything was perfectly organized and first class! A group of new friends I and thoroughly enjoyed a day of pampering with massages, an incredible lunch and day at the pool while visiting the big cat sanctuary. Highly recommend! My boys and I absolutely loved the 2 day Big Five with a stay at the fabulous resort- wow! The Elephant Encounter is fabulous, as well! Where else can you pet elephants! So thankful we found Carmen because her excursions truly made our trip so very special!!

If you want experiences off the beaten path, Carmen's Kartula Marula is the way to go.  It's a family oriented (3 generations), community-immersed experience! Altus advised me of the best South African-made souvenirs for my teenage grandsons and I was able to get wonderful, locally-made gifts for others in my family. Marilize prepared wonderful food including an eland schnitzel I had not experienced even in Germany. My husband was concerned for me while on his hunting expedition, but Carmen attended to my interests and safety. Whether it was arranging a driver while we were in Capetown, or having her mom take us to a great restaurant and The Cradle of Humankind in Johannesburg, to a horse safari and hot air ballooning, even a luxury spa experience, it was truly personalized and memorable.  What we thought was going to be a once in a lifetime trip has become embracing new friends and making them family.

We had the absolute best time and Carmen is to thank for all of it. She handled everything and made sure that all accommodations and excursions were the best. We enjoyed having her with us on our adventures. She is incredibly kind a  joy to talk to. Her knowledge of all things South Africa made the conversations endless. I could listen to her talk all day and never get tired of it.  We even had the pleasure of meeting her family and they are just as amazing. I would love to come back again someday and I can guarantee that if I do, she will be the first person I call.

Was so easy to book and have Carmen take care of everything for our excursions! We had the best time on all the adventures we went on. Carmen and her drivers went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect!  We had the best lunches and experiences seeing what Africa is about! Can’t thank her and her staff enough!
