John and I decided to take this trip at the last minute. We were truly amazed at hoe quickly Kristina was able to develop and provide our itinerary. She arranged ALL of the activities that we wanted to see and provided us with the ultimate South African vacation. She went beyond the call of duty to ensure that we had her contact information and her colleagues(Karym Lopez, Jessica Acosta, Lorraine Yoyo and Maritza Valenzuela) when she was herself aboard a long international flight. She made sure that all of our questions and concerns were answered and she made sure that we received all our tickets and necessary documents even in the short amount of time that we had to prepare! Outstanding customer Service Kristina. John posted amazing pictures of our trip and many of our friends and family members are interested in visiting South Africa now! Thanks Kristina and all the staff at SAA for your outstanding customer service.

I requested that a tour be tailored to meet my interests and everything I desired was built into the tour for the two of us travelers. Drivers were waiting for us at each airport and transported us to the airports. Excellent tour guides were provided for us. As requested, Robben Island, the Mandela Museum, Soweto, and Victoria Falls were built in our tour as well as several other historical sites in Cape Coast, Johannesburg and Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.
All of the people were friendly and the service was excellent. We had a great time. Thank you very much.

Leigh Ann Simpson was my agent and she did an outstanding job ensuring we received everything we wanted from this South African trip we took starting Sept 5, 2019 until Sep 14, 2019. All the places we wanted to go and see, experience, she made it happen in an itinerary specific to our desires.
This was a once in a lifetime trip for us and she made it exceptional.
I will be in touch with her again if we save enough money to go to Africa again.
I wholeheartedly recommend her excellent services.
Thank you Leigh Ann. God bless you and yours!

We’re in the lounge in Johannesburg right now waiting on our flight later this evening.
This trip has been AMAZING!!! From start to finish, it has been nothing but spectacular and exceeded my wildest expectations. Cape Town was gorgeous and the tours included were perfect. We serendipitously got on the waterfront ferris wheel at sunset the night we arrived in Cape Town – the views and sunset were breathtaking, there couldn’t have been a better welcome to Africa. We went to the top of Table Mountain on the best weather day.
Chapungu tented camp was the perfect safari resort. The staff were so nice and very attentive to every guest. It was definitely luxury – from accommodations to food to relaxing! Our game drives were always eventful, as was the animal activity right outside our tent at night. We quickly checked off the “big 5” and were lucky to even get the “elite 7”.
In Johannesburg we had a long layover, so we jumped on the train and went to Mandela Square for lunch before settling into the lounge. And to put the cherry on top, SAA accepted our upgrade bid!
I can’t thank you enough for the experience you put together for us!! It is a trip I will never forget (and hopefully get to do again!).

My wife and I were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. We worked with Richard on our itinerary to South Africa and Zimbabwe and it worked out perfectly. All 3 legs of our trip (Cape Town, Kapama Private Game Reserve and Victoria Falls) were unique and memorable. Our accommodates and tours were top notch and Rich went out of his way to make sure we got into the exclusive Elephant Camp at Victoria Falls. Having grown up in South Africa, Richard was a wealth of information and recommended a number of places to visit and eat. We would definitely recommend SAA and Richard to our family and friends.

Good afternoon. Thank you so much for arranging such an awesome trip for our family. It was truly amazing. We enjoyed every minute of it. The tours were great and the tour guides were excellent and super knowledgeable. We were surprised by the stop at the Little Bees Daycare ……It was heart warming and my entire family just loved the children. We embraced them with all our hearts and plan to adopt them. I’m in contact with the Principal. Robben Island’s trip was cancelled on the scheduled day, as the boats were not sailing but we were able to fit it in on one of our leisure days. We also visited the Table Mountain on one of our leisure days. That was very good planning on your part to leave a few free days for us to decided what to do and we thank you wholeheartedly. Please convey our thanks to the drivers and everyone involved who made these activities possible, The hotels were very accommodating and the service excellent. Travelling on South African Air was comfortable and incident free. On behalf of my family, I say 100 times thank you.

Every aspect of this vacation met or exceeded our expectations. The pace was perfect, the hotel in Cape Town was modern and the breakfasts were unbelievable. The Shepherd’s Tree lodge was perfect, with huge California King beds and mosquito nets draping from the ceiling to the floor, very romantic in an “Out of Africa” kind of way. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and led us on a wonderful adventure where we saw the Big Five and more. We have already given Richard the names of some friends who we know with his guidance would be in excellent hands. Thank you.

The hotel was perfectly located in Cape Town which made it very easy for us to book our own adventures in the area for the several days we had on our own. The lodge for our safari was incredible, the food was outstanding and the service was terrific except for our checkout day. Besides that we would highly recommend South African Airways, Nicki was an absolute pleasure to work with and we would definitely call her again and recommend her in the future.

It has been very busy since we arrived home. We loved our trip to Africa and would love to go back. The people are wonderful and it is an amazing place. The most amazing part of our trip was the time at the private reserve in Thornybush. It was perfect in almost every way. The couple who run the lodge, Chewy and Monica were wonderful. We felt like they were welcoming us into their home. They made you feel so comfortable. Chewy was an excellent ranger and we always felt safe. He took time to find out what we wanted from this adventure and made it come true. We tracked a leopard the first night and it was exciting to be so close. In Thornybush, you can go off road which we did quite a bit so the animal were up close. You really need to be able to trust your ranger and tracker, which we did. We saw almost every animal in Thornybsh except the wild dogs which are rarely seen. The only thing I would change about that experience was a later flight out the day we left. We were unable to go on the last game drive the morning of our flight as we were booked on the early flight. We did not get tired of going out in the truck at all.
We enjoyed Capetown. The Cape tour was very informative and we loved seeing the Ostrich and penguins. We booked our own wine tour and would recommend that also. We met so many new friends from all over the world on these tours. They were small groups on each so we really got to know each other. Next time, I would prefer a hotel closer to the water front. It seemed to be more tourist friendly with more activities and restaurants to walk to in the evening. The breakfast at our hotel was incredible. The room was also very nice.
Our last adventure was Zimbabwe. The Victoria Falls hotel was so iconic. We enjoyed staying there. The location and views were great. The staff were very friendly. We had a small problem with the room as it was two twin beds and it was our 35 year wedding anniversary. When we called down to try to get this rectified, they had no other rooms. We found out two nights later that they could make it into a King. HAHA. Apparently the only staff who knows this tidbit of information is housekeeping. It is a funny story and the hotel was apologetic and gave us a free dinner with African dancing to entertain us. The sunset cruise made our anniversary so much more special. The falls were magnificent. We also enjoyed the day in Botsawana with the cruise and the afternoon safari. It allowed us to see more animals including crocodiles and hippos. The safari drive was a little more commercial than Thornybush but very enjoyable.
You may want to warn your clients about the beggars in Capetown and Victoria Falls. They are fairly harmless but very persistent and annoying.
It was so nice not to worry about all the transfers and these worked out so well. We also appreciated the guidance that your agency gave us prior to our vacation especially the amount to tip. Fellow travelers were asking us if we knew how much to tip and we were able to show them your recommendations.
We are recommending this vacation to everyone we know.
Thank you,

Amazing experience. Wonderful, life-changing interactions with the Serondella Game Lodge staff – especially Chewie (guide) and Monica (host) – during our stay and on our safari game drives. Great support from SAA (Lacy Hill) throughout.
Without getting political, would recommend providing travelers with some fact-based information regarding poaching and the problems caused by patronizing big cat “petting zoos”. Would be good to let them know how / where they can get involved to support anti-poaching efforts…

Hi Mark – I apologize for not writing earlier, but I wanted to let you know we had an AMAZING time on our trip. Cape Town was beautiful and the safari was just a dream come true. I couldn’t believe how close we got to the animals. All of our transfers worked out perfectly, our guides in Cape Town were great and the staff at the lodge in Sabi Sands were wonderful. I didn’t want to leave!
I’m hoping I’m able to get back to Africa some day soon. I’d love to do Tanzania next!
Thanks again for all you help putting this trip together. It was perfect!

Safely home and I know we can all say this trip exceeded our expectations! It was everything we had hoped for and more. Thank you so much for making the arrangements. We especially enjoyed the Ngoma Lodge at Chobe. It’s the perfect safari setting and we got up close and personal with four of the big 5. Didn’t see a leopard, but did find an impala hanging in a tree where one had left it. I have a couple of information items to pass along for future travelers when we get settled. But we had a perfect time from our first day and I got all the research info I needed for my current books!

We just got back from our Botswana trip yesterday and I wanted to thank you for helping us plan this most epic trip! This was our favorite vacation ever and we just fell in love with Botswana. Every step of the trip was executed perfectly and no detail was missed. The lodges were all incredible and the staff were amazing. The guides were especially outstanding and we saw so many animals and learned so much. Thank you again for helping us with this dream trip! We will definitely return to Africa and will use South African Airways Vacations again!!
I wanted to say Thank You ? to her for setting up this amazing trip of a lifetime! It not only met but exceeded our expectations! Everything was wonderful and the icing on the cake was they upgraded us from Chisomo to Becks Safari Resort which was only a couple years old and top of the line! 5 Stars ? in my opinion, from the resort, people, Safari, customer service, you name it! I’m highly recommending Becks! Also the breakfast as Sun Gardens was excellent but the staff wasn’t as friendly or helpful!Most incredible trip I could imagine! Everything went just perfectly… you gave us what we were hoping for: THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME!Thanks so very much for your excellent help!!!!

Good Morning!
Got your gift on Saturday, with pictures better than and I could have taken. Thanks!
I would rate my trip 4 of 5 stars and recommend it readily. Logistics were good and reliable, the accommodations fine and even better than expected, and the activities what I wanted.
Why not 5 stars, then? Small things that were likely unknown to you and me.
For example, both hotels had very limited wifi – not access but limited to 350-500 MG daily of data which goes by real fast.
The Cradle of Humankind deserves more time, and perhaps a visit to Stenkfontein as well. The Lesedi Cultural Tour would probable be better in the afternoon, and might include a night’s lodging there. (I also found it disconcerting as it involves black people in tribal clothes, which in the US would be seen as racist. But this was South Africa after all.)
Let me lift up the tour of Soweto as very effective, marred only by having too little time to take on the Apartheid Museum which truly requires 3 hours. Consider a day that starts with a gold mine, which is why so many migrated to the city, and then Soweto. Bundle the Museum with the Constitutional Court and Prison 4 (which my guide added and was fascinating and had too little time to take in).
District 6 in Cape Town, worked well with the Townships as they were related. A little more context would have helped bring it all together. On my own I went to the Slave House which added to that story in helpful ways. Doing all three in one trip would make a full day. The Cape Peninsula was very good, well paced and would have been enough without Kirstenbosch, which we saw very late and could only taste. It deserves more. Maybe pairing it with Lion’s Head or the Company Garden would work better. I took myself to Pretoria for a day, just to walk around and had a fine time. The Sandton hotel was close to the Gautrain and it took less than 40 minutes to get there. The Natural History Museum is small and easy, but also very dated. The Burgers Garden is beautiful and Melrose House across the street would have been fun but it is closed on Mondays, which is when I went.
I think that covers the bits and pieces. It was a memorable and very enriching visit, perhaps my only one to Southern Africa. The toughest part was flying there and back, as that is one loooooong flight. Of course, any others flights would be longer. South Africa is far away!
Thanks for the cards and all the help. If you need a recommendation, I will happily supply one!

Lacy was extremely accommodating trying to figure out the perfect travel plan for us. She was very quick to respond to any questions and made sure we were taken care of before, during, and after! We will definitely try to use her again for other vacations in the future. The international flight on the way to South Africa was wonderful and flight attendants came around often to serve us. However, on the way back to New York we didn’t have air conditioning throughout the cabin to the point a woman passed out and everyone was sweating for 15 HOURS. The flight attendants told us they knew there was a problem but continued to be rude to everyone that inquired about it. We barely saw them during the flight and I was super disappointed with the experience back. The transfers throughout our trip were awesome! The drivers were so nice, knowledgeable, and very prompt. The accommodations were way better than we were expecting! The Cape Town hotel was new, beautiful, and very clean. The lodge at Thornybush was SO nice and we had the best view! The entire trip was more than we could have imagined. All the activities provided so many memories for us. The only thing I would suggest is we heard other people that went through a different travel company were offered a night in Franschhoek and I think that would have been a great option to add to the itinerary.

Cathy,
We just wanted to thank you for planning such a wonderful trip for us. Beck’s safari was fantastic. The guide, the room, the personnel, the food, the setting…..everything was unbelievable. We saw the Big 5 all on one day!! The wild life was unforgettable. And the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge was such a wonderful location. We were disappointed at first because there were no animals at the water hole. However….the next day the elephants came, and came and came and came!!! We counted 70!! What a thrill. And everything there was great too.
This is the first time we have ever used a travel agent to plan a trip for us and we are so glad we did. The flights were also very good with the exception that the flight home had a plane with a different configuration so we were in the very back with the seats that were very close together unlike the flight over where we were in the next section up with a little more room.
In any event. we will certainly recommend you to anyone that asks us about planning a trip to Africa!!
Thanks for your patience with us and for providing us with one memorable trip!!

Eli and I want to THANK YOU so much for everything! Our trip was absolutely INCREDIBLE, and all of the plans were perfect, down to every detail!
South African Airways was by far the best airline we have ever flown, and the flight attendants were so friendly and went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable. The hotels were absolutely amazing, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel special on our honeymoon. The Victoria Falls hotel was beautiful, and the staff were so friendly to us. We thoroughly enjoyed all of our activities, especially the tour of the falls and the sundowner cruise. The One and Only surprised us with an upgrade to a suite, and with Champagne, chocolates and wine in our room upon arrival. We also had the most gorgeous view of Table Mountain. The second night we were there, we came back to a room with rose petals, candles and a note just saying they hope we were enjoying our stay. The staff was so genuine and always greeted us by name when coming and going. The concierge was extremely helpful with arranging plans and transportation on our free day, which we went up to Table Mountain and also did the Robbin Island tour. Katie our driver/guide for the wine tour and the tour of the Cape was FANTASTIC. She was so knowledgeable of the area and took us to a lot of great spots, both touristy and local. We had so much fun exploring Capetown and the wine lands with her. We did not think our trip could possibly get any better after Capetown, but Simbambali proved us wrong. From the time we arrived, everything was incredible – the food, the staff, the lodge and the game drives. They even surprised us with a private dinner in our room! We did not want to leave!
We truly enjoyed every second, and cannot thank you enough for helping us plan the most perfect honeymoon that neither of us will ever forget! We look forward to planning another trip to South Africa in the next few years with your help!

Our African adventure was beyond amazing! Kristina was there every step of the way assisting us with our plans. Her expertise and guidance was invaluable… from accommodations, to transfers, activities and even best times to visit the spa. Each day we thought could not possibly get any better, and it did! If I could give her a 10 on a scale of 1-5, I would. Our room At Thornybush was upgraded to a 3 bedroom, 3 bath unit. It was beautiful!!! Our dream trip was above and beyond anything we ever imagined.
Hi Kristina,
Just wanted to let you know what an absolutely wonderful trip we had. It was a dream come true for all of us. Each day we thought it couldn’t possibly get better, but it did! Thank you so much for you expertise….. transfers went incredibly smooth, accommodations were superb, tours were beyond amazing… not to mention your assistance with the spa which could not have been more perfect with timing. Please know we greatly appreciate how you went above and beyond to help us plan.Best,Noel

Thank you for your email. We arrived back home safe and sound after thoroughly enjoying our holiday. Ligia was an excellent guide, punctual and with a wealth of information. She was great with our children and we loved her company.
We had hoped we would be closer to beach and would actually have enjoyed more time at Boschendal. Hopefully next time!

The trip was awesome, the best vacation I have had. SAA kept us moving (great landings) and on time departures. The varied experiences were great as well. The safari was fabulous. Hands down – it was the highlight of our trip. Kristina was fantastic to work with and she gave us a very good vacation plan. She was flexible and always ready to assist. Will definitely do another safari.

Cathy,
We just wanted to thank you for planning such a wonderful trip for us. Beck’s safari was fantastic. The guide, the room, the personnel, the food, the setting…..everything was unbelievable. We saw the Big 5 all on one day!! The wild life was unforgettable. And the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge was such a wonderful location. We were disappointed at first because there were no animals at the water hole. However….the next day the elephants came, and came and came and came!!! We counted 70!! What a thrill. And everything there was great too.
This is the first time we have ever used a travel agent to plan a trip for us and we are so glad we did. The flights were also very good with the exception that the flight home had a plane with a different configuration so we were in the very back with the seats that were very close together unlike the flight over where we were in the next section up with a little more room.
In any event. we will certainly recommend you to anyone that asks us about planning a trip to Africa!!
Thanks for your patience with us and for providing us with one memorable trip!!

Eli and I want to THANK YOU so much for everything! Our trip was absolutely INCREDIBLE, and all of the plans were perfect, down to every detail!
South African Airways was by far the best airline we have ever flown, and the flight attendants were so friendly and went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable. The hotels were absolutely amazing, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel special on our honeymoon. The Victoria Falls hotel was beautiful, and the staff were so friendly to us. We thoroughly enjoyed all of our activities, especially the tour of the falls and the sundowner cruise. The One and Only surprised us with an upgrade to a suite, and with Champagne, chocolates and wine in our room upon arrival. We also had the most gorgeous view of Table Mountain. The second night we were there, we came back to a room with rose petals, candles and a note just saying they hope we were enjoying our stay. The staff was so genuine and always greeted us by name when coming and going. The concierge was extremely helpful with arranging plans and transportation on our free day, which we went up to Table Mountain and also did the Robbin Island tour. Katie our driver/guide for the wine tour and the tour of the Cape was FANTASTIC. She was so knowledgeable of the area and took us to a lot of great spots, both touristy and local. We had so much fun exploring Capetown and the wine lands with her. We did not think our trip could possibly get any better after Capetown, but Simbambali proved us wrong. From the time we arrived, everything was incredible – the food, the staff, the lodge and the game drives. They even surprised us with a private dinner in our room! We did not want to leave!
We truly enjoyed every second, and cannot thank you enough for helping us plan the most perfect honeymoon that neither of us will ever forget! We look forward to planning another trip to South Africa in the next few years with your help!

Eli and I want to THANK YOU so much for everything! Our trip was absolutely INCREDIBLE, and all of the plans were perfect, down to every detail!
South African Airways was by far the best airline we have ever flown, and the flight attendants were so friendly and went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable. The hotels were absolutely amazing, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel special on our honeymoon. The Victoria Falls hotel was beautiful, and the staff were so friendly to us. We thoroughly enjoyed all of our activities, especially the tour of the falls and the sundowner cruise. The One and Only surprised us with an upgrade to a suite, and with Champagne, chocolates and wine in our room upon arrival. We also had the most gorgeous view of Table Mountain. The second night we were there, we came back to a room with rose petals, candles and a note just saying they hope we were enjoying our stay. The staff was so genuine and always greeted us by name when coming and going. The concierge was extremely helpful with arranging plans and transportation on our free day, which we went up to Table Mountain and also did the Robbin Island tour. Katie our driver/guide for the wine tour and the tour of the Cape was FANTASTIC. She was so knowledgeable of the area and took us to a lot of great spots, both touristy and local. We had so much fun exploring Capetown and the wine lands with her. We did not think our trip could possibly get any better after Capetown, but Simbambali proved us wrong. From the time we arrived, everything was incredible – the food, the staff, the lodge and the game drives. They even surprised us with a private dinner in our room! We did not want to leave!

Our African adventure was beyond amazing! Kristina was there every step of the way assisting us with our plans. Her expertise and guidance was invaluable… from accommodations, to transfers, activities and even best times to visit the spa. Each day we thought could not possibly get any better, and it did! If I could give her a 10 on a scale of 1-5, I would. Our room At Thornybush was upgraded to a 3 bedroom, 3 bath unit. It was beautiful!!! Our dream trip was above and beyond anything we ever imagined.

Thank you for your email. We arrived back home safe and sound after thoroughly enjoying our holiday. Ligia was an excellent guide, punctual and with a wealth of information. She was great with our children and we loved her company.
We had hoped we would be closer to beach and would actually have enjoyed more time at Boschendal. Hopefully next time!
Thanks and Regards,

The trip was awesome, the best vacation I have had. SAA kept us moving (great landings) and on time departures. The varied experiences were great as well. The safari was fabulous. Hands down – it was the highlight of our trip. Kristina was fantastic to work with and she gave us a very good vacation plan. She was flexible and always ready to assist. Will definitely do another safari.

Please excuse this belated thank you. I had the best time on my trip to SA! You did a wonderful job. Found great hotels that were convenient, fun and safe. The airport transfers also provided ease and comfort. Great tours and the safari was amazing. I couldn’t have done it without you! I will always be grateful for this once in a lifetime experience.

Cathy,
We just wanted to thank you for planning such a wonderful trip for us. Beck’s safari was fantastic. The guide, the room, the personnel, the food, the setting…..everything was unbelievable. We saw the Big 5 all on one day!! The wild life was unforgettable. And the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge was such a wonderful location. We were disappointed at first because there were no animals at the water hole. However….the next day the elephants came, and came and came and came!!! We counted 70!! What a thrill. And everything there was great too.
This is the first time we have ever used a travel agent to plan a trip for us and we are so glad we did. The flights were also very good with the exception that the flight home had a plane with a different configuration so we were in the very back with the seats that were very close together unlike the flight over where we were in the next section up with a little more room.
In any event. we will certainly recommend you to anyone that asks us about planning a trip to Africa!!
Thanks for your patience with us and for providing us with one memorable trip!!
Roger & Stephany

Eli and I want to THANK YOU so much for everything! Our trip was absolutely INCREDIBLE, and all of the plans were perfect, down to every detail!
South African Airways was by far the best airline we have ever flown, and the flight attendants were so friendly and went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable. The hotels were absolutely amazing, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel special on our honeymoon. The Victoria Falls hotel was beautiful, and the staff were so friendly to us. We thoroughly enjoyed all of our activities, especially the tour of the falls and the sundowner cruise. The One and Only surprised us with an upgrade to a suite, and with Champagne, chocolates and wine in our room upon arrival. We also had the most gorgeous view of Table Mountain. The second night we were there, we came back to a room with rose petals, candles and a note just saying they hope we were enjoying our stay. The staff was so genuine and always greeted us by name when coming and going. The concierge was extremely helpful with arranging plans and transportation on our free day, which we went up to Table Mountain and also did the Robbin Island tour. Katie our driver/guide for the wine tour and the tour of the Cape was FANTASTIC. She was so knowledgeable of the area and took us to a lot of great spots, both touristy and local. We had so much fun exploring Capetown and the wine lands with her. We did not think our trip could possibly get any better after Capetown, but Simbambali proved us wrong. From the time we arrived, everything was incredible – the food, the staff, the lodge and the game drives. They even surprised us with a private dinner in our room! We did not want to leave!
We truly enjoyed every second, and cannot thank you enough for helping us plan the most perfect honeymoon that neither of us will ever forget! We look forward to planning another trip to South Africa in the next few years with your help!

Tom _ thank you for your welcome note. I must tell you that everything went so very well on our African trip, thanks to you. As for worries about ebola, thank goodness there was no trouble at all with stopping in Senegal. They certainly have it all under control.

Good Morning!
Got your gift on Saturday, with pictures better than and I could have taken. Thanks!
I would rate my trip 4 of 5 stars and recommend it readily. Logistics were good and reliable, the accommodations fine and even better than expected, and the activities what I wanted.
Why not 5 stars, then? Small things that were likely unknown to you and me.
For example, both hotels had very limited wifi – not access but limited to 350-500 MG daily of data which goes by real fast.
The Cradle of Humankind deserves more time, and perhaps a visit to Stenkfontein as well. The Lesedi Cultural Tour would probable be better in the afternoon, and might include a night’s lodging there. (I also found it disconcerting as it involves black people in tribal clothes, which in the US would be seen as racist. But this was South Africa after all.)
Let me lift up the tour of Soweto as very effective, marred only by having too little time to take on the Apartheid Museum which truly requires 3 hours. Consider a day that starts with a gold mine, which is why so many migrated to the city, and then Soweto. Bundle the Museum with the Constitutional Court and Prison 4 (which my guide added and was fascinating and had too little time to take in).
District 6 in Cape Town, worked well with the Townships as they were related. A little more context would have helped bring it all together. On my own I went to the Slave House which added to that story in helpful ways. Doing all three in one trip would make a full day. The Cape Peninsula was very good, well paced and would have been enough without Kirstenbosch, which we saw very late and could only taste. It deserves more. Maybe pairing it with Lion’s Head or the Company Garden would work better.
I took myself to Pretoria for a day, just to walk around and had a fine time. The Sandton hotel was close to the Gautrain and it took less than 40 minutes to get there. The Natural History Museum is small and easy, but also very dated. The Burgers Garden is beautiful and Melrose House across the street would have been fun but it is closed on Mondays, which is when I went.
I think that covers the bits and pieces. It was a memorable and very enriching visit, perhaps my only one to Southern Africa. The toughest part was flying there and back, as that is one loooooong flight. Of course, any others flights would be longer. South Africa is far away!
Thanks for the cards and all the help. If you need a recommendation, I will happily supply one.

Everything was absolutely perfect!! Our accommodations were all fabulous, our itinerary was great and you even arranged perfect weather!!
Resting a bit in capetown after our long flight was perfect as were our safaris. The food at Hamilton was fantastic . Staff everywhere was terrific and drivers always met us promptly and often with our luggage, you did a great job and it was a very special trip!! Thank you!!!!
We somehow managed to get business class coming home, thank goodness. My only complaint was with customer service at saa! Forty minute waits and then they couldn’t tell
Us anything even tho our bid had gone thru. they were always disinterested and often rude and we wasted a lot of time with them. However flights food and staff on plane were nice.
