Great trip to South Africa
South Africa between 7 Oct 2017 and 21 Oct 2017
"- we had an amazing time
- saw lots of animals and wild life - safari, whales, penguins
- we had a lot of weather too - fire in Cape Town, snow just outside Cape Town, fog and rain in Kwandwe & Plett, stromy winds in Hermanus, but we also had some sunny days
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
- we like to book with specialist companies, travel agents that are specialist in a region or country
- we very much enjoyed our face to face meeting with Tracy and she put a very nice trip together
- we missed a bit the option of having a day planned out at Plettenberg or Cape Town for example, but we got all the information so that we can plan our days"

"- lovely rooms
- not a lot of pressure on the showers, probably due to the drought
- we were not lucky with the weather, it rained all the time...
- so we spent time in the spa and walked through the garden in Wellies :)"

Camps Bay Retreat
"very special place"
4 nights
Arrived
17 Oct 2017
"- we stayed in the honeymoon suite in the manor house
- but we did not really know much about the house and grounds till the day we left as we did not get the tour of the house and gardens we should have got when checking in, therefore we did not really appreciate everything... which was a pity
- our bedroom and dressing room was lovely, but despite the history of the manor house it would be great if the bathrooms would get an upgrade."

- we actually stayed a night longer than planned due to bad weather
- the bathroom lighting was a little too dark in our room 7 - additional lighting especially at the mirror and above the luggage rack would be good."
