Back in the grey and cold of England and just reflecting on what a great time we had in SA over Christmas and New Year and just wanted to thank you and your team for putting together a great itinerary and package. Without doubt, the best holiday we have had! We are more than happy to share our thoughts………

From touchdown at Joburg, we felt we enjoyed independence combined with the knowledge that Laurence was a phone call or text away. We were a little intimidated before embarking on this trip but there really is no need to be – no more than the sensible precautions a traveller would consider on visiting an unfamiliar area.

We just didn’t want to come home! We drove nearly 3000 miles (5000km) in three weeks and feel we had a great introduction to what SA has to offer.

It was like having two holidays in one – Pretoria to Mpumalanga (Hazyview and Kruger for my 40th Birthday), Swaziland to Hluhluwe-Imfolozi, Zululand and the Battlefields, then onto the the Drakensburg Mountains for Christmas, this concluded part one of a trip filled with game, culture, history and landscape.

A short flight from Durban to PE started part two along the beautiful Garden Route with great stays at Knysna and Outdshoorn before enjoying the cosmopolitan Cape Town for four nights with so much to see around the Western Cape. The view from Table Mountain on New Years Day was stunning!

All accommodation was first class and the itinerary/timetable supplied spot on, maximising the time available. If you wish to see as much as possible of SA in three weeks, then this must be the way.

The memories will be with us a long time and we thank Laurence for making it this special trip possible. We have been telling friends of our experiences and more than happy to recommend – We are sure to visit again.

Genuine thanks! Brian and Sue, February 2007
