What our travelers say
Steven J Smith2023-10-16This was our first time traveling with Kent World Travel. We would definitely travel with them again. From the initial tour offering to transportation, hotel accommodations, diversity of adventures, and culinary experiences, everything was exceptional. An amazing and eye-opening journey throughout South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe, a buck list trip we will cherish for years to come. Thank you to Matt and Didi for hosting us on a trip of a lifetime. Steven and Lisa SmithCathy Beaver2023-10-1320 travelers from Long Cove Club Hilton Head Island, SC visited South Africa with Kent World Travel. The trip was fantastic. Matt and Didi Kent and their partner Warren were absolutely amazing. In all our travels, and there have been many, we have never had such hands on participation from the travel company. Kent World Travel was with us the entire trip. NOTHING was too much, with 20 people things come up ie: sickness, lost items, not following rules. Matt and Didi handled everything with selflessness and grace. The trip was fantastic. The places we stayed, the food, the safari, golf, wineries, table mountain, Victoria Falls... we visited were all amazing. We will travel with Kent World Travel again!!! They are wonderful.bob patton2023-09-29I have been organizing and escorting my members on trips around the world for 30 years and can confidently say I have never experienced the level of service, attention to detail and willingness to shift and pivot with the desires and needs of the group that we experienced on our recent trip with Kent World Travel to South Africa. Just as important was that Matt and Didi are incredibly likeable and personable and very quickly on the trip everyone felt like they had made great new friends rather than simply being escorted by Tour Operators. Also, as the organizer for the group, I can say as well that the planning process with them was exceptional as they were very willing to customize the trip to our desires and not simply provide a "package" trip as is often the case. I really can't adequately describe how positive our experience with Matt, Didi, and Kent World Travel was and would wholeheartedly endorse them to anyone looking to create a special travel experience anywhere in the world.Cathy Beaver2023-09-25Long Cove Clubs trip to Africa with Kent World Travel was outstanding. Matt, Didi, Warren and their travel guides were extraordinarily pleasant, organized and knowledgeable. I plan to travel with them again. Thank you Kent World Travel for a trip of a lifetime.don beskin2023-09-24Matt and Didi did a fantastic job, dotting every i and crossing every t. The accommodations were top notch and the scheduling of events and activities was spot on. We would not hesitate to participate in another trip they might plan.Cathy Wareham2023-09-23We can't say enough about our fabulous trip to South Africa with Kent World Travel. Our itinerary was first class and included everything we could have wanted to experience. Matt and Didi were super accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure that everyone was able to get the most out of their trip. If you are lucky enough to travel with Kent World Travel, you are lucky enough.Scott Malaney2023-09-20It’s difficult to express meaningful daily detail because of the diversity of our trip. Suffice it to say Matt and Didi put together a fun, diverse, and active set of daily experiences for us. We began in the far southern region of South Africa (basically Capetown), all the way to Zambia and Victoria Falls, with stops in George and Kruger National Park in between. For me, the trip was a “10”, maybe an “11”. The experiences were fantastic. But, the key ingredient to the “secret sauce” was the incredible ability of Matt and Didi to not only manage EVERY detail of the trip, but to actively engage and enjoy the experiences with us. They are extremely good at what they do and how they do it. As far as any of us could tell, the word “no” is not in their lexicon. In one word, “magnificent”.Bob Keating2023-09-19This was the best travel experience I have ever hadJohn Stevens McKnight2023-01-31Safe to say Kent Travel made our excursion to South Africa a trip of a lifetime. Every detail was completely thought out, from travel plans, accommodations, and all the incredible towns, attractions, and golf courses we visited. The way they turned 16 people into a family was one of the best parts, because of this trip I now have friends for life. Matt and Didi were the perfect host and two people that have personalities that attracts anyone to them. From the amazing food, sites, culture, people, and animals - we got to experience everything South Africa had to offer. I am already planning our next trip with Kent Travel!!!Jackie Hanson2023-01-31One of the best travel experience I have ever had. Accommodations and services were exceptional.
