Another excellent trip by Expert Africa
South Africa between 28 Oct 2010 and 10 Nov 2010
"Tracy Lederer again put together an excellent trip for us. The service we have received from Expert Africa whilst planning both this trip and our previous trip to Namibia was excellent. The knowledge of the area and hotels really helps when discussing routes and accomodation.
We will definately be using Expert Africa for our next African trip.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
The maps for South Africa, especially Cape town were not as clear as Namibia. We used our Sat Nav and that got us around without any problems."

Rusthof Country House, South Africa (this camp has since closed)
"Rusthof Country House review"
2 nights
Arrived
31 Oct 2010
"Rusthof was a great guest house an easy couple of minutes walk to the restaurants and shops in Franschhoek. The staff and owner were all very friendly and helpful giving us advice on vinyards to visit and helping when we had car problems one morning.
Franschhoek definately lived up to its reputation of being the food and wine capital of South Africa!"

"The location of Ocean Eleven on the cliff top is spectacular, we were lucky enough to see whales from our room and also during breakfast on our final day.
The rooms were modern, clean and airy with a private seating area overlooking the bay."

Arrived
6 Nov 2010
"Hog Hollow was my favorite place, the rooms are spectacular, we especially enjoyed lighting a fire in the evenings when it got a bit cool. The food was excellent with great service.
We left wanting to stay longer as the area has so much too offer. I am sure we will return for another stay at Hog Hollow."

The Victoria and Alfred hotel was located in the centre of the waterfront a short walk away from the shops and restaurants. Our room had a great view of table mountain which was a nice suprise."
