We(me and my wife) travelled during sept last week and Malan from Bellingham tales organised our trip, itinerary was so well and perfectly planned it was more than 100% Also the way we were treated through out our trip was so homely and the Driver (Sunil) was so kind and very energetic to keep us always secure I would definitely look forward for one more association with Malan as I got more than what’s committed
