We have been designing self drive and guided holidays for families and groups in Southern Africa for more than ten years and our area of operation includes South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Mozambique, Zambia, Swaziland and Lesotho.
WHO WE ARE
A South African registered and fully independent travel company and tour operator.
OUR TRAVEL INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE
We have been operating from our base in South Africa for more than a decade and have developed an intimate knowledge of the Southern African travel industry. Our in-depth research and regular monitoring of standards means that our network is constantly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in travel trends.
INDEPENDENT ADVICE
As a privately owned company, we have no obligation to any other company so we can guarantee that our advice is impartial. We select the most appropriate destinations for you, based entirely on what you want.
TAILOR MADE TRAVEL
We specialize in fully customized holidays and tours tailored to suit your requirements and interests. We can arrange everything for you, including flights, transfers, accommodation, car hire and activities. And we are here to look after you from the moment you arrive until you leave.
PERSONAL SERVICE
We enjoy what we do and firmly believe that details are important. Through efficient administration and in-country handling, we go the extra mile to ensure that your holiday is trouble free. We pride ourselves on our flexibility and quality of service, so whether you want a gently paced holiday or a huge adrenaline rush, the choice is limited only by your imagination.
RELIABILITY
We only deal with reputable service providers to ensure that your holiday not only matches but exceeds your expectations. Our network of travel associates is carefully selected to ensure that you get the very best deal.
CONVENIENCE
Parkers is available 6 days a week (closed on Sunday). Before you arrive in country, we will give you our contact numbers in South Africa in case you need any help or advice out of office hours.
OUR TRAVELLERS
Our travellers are the most important part of our business and we guarantee to look after you on a personal basis. Our good reputation is important to us, and our enthusiasm and personal service means that more than 80% of our travellers return with us time and again.
HOW WE WORK
We have established an enviable network of travel industry partners, all of whom have been personally vetted or recommended. We have negotiated substantially discounted rates throughout the whole of Southern Africa, which we pass on to you.
We'll discuss with you exactly what sort of holiday you want. If you have a budget in mind, just let us know and we'll tailor your holiday to suit. We'll suggest an itinerary for you and, once you are completely happy that we've captured exactly what you want, we'll send you a quote in rands.
We make all the arrangements and send you a pre-arrival Travel Pack with your travel itinerary and information about your route (including directions and travelling distances), local customs, weather, clothing, medical preparation, money and safety.
PAYING FOR YOUR HOLIDAY
We ask for a 20% deposit four months in advance of your holiday, with the balance payable six weeks before you arrive. Payments can be made by bank transfer or credit card. If time is short, we will be happy to discuss other arrangements for payment of your holiday.
WHY USE PARKERS?
These days, with a wealth of conflicting information available from the internet, guide books, friends and elsewhere, it is tempting to arrange your holiday from home or office to better suit your budget. No need. We calculate the cost of your holiday using our specially discounted rates - we have one of the best car hire rates available anywhere in the country - so the DIY approach is not necessarily the cheapest option. Our aim is to provide a holiday for you at roughly the same cost as doing it yourself.
NO HIDDEN EXTRAS
As holidays with Parkers are pre-paid, there are no hidden extra costs. The price quoted is the price you pay.
ACCREDITATIONS
We are members of SATSA and TOMSA.
