Liesl,
What a rude awakening coming back after a wonderful trip to seven 12 hour work days. Finally, I have some time to let the trip sink in a little and can get back to you. We had an amazing time. Cape Town exceeded all my expectations, and they were pretty high to begin with. We ended up having great weather, which only enhanced the trip. We really did get to see a lot, but wow there is so much to do in the city. The More Quarters was great and the rooms were very nice and big. The people there were very helpful, and location was also very good. Karen and I were both amazed on how good the food was almost everywhere we went in Cape Town. The Greenhouse dinner the first night was like a show, since we did the 7 course tasting menu. It was one of the better meals we ever had. Overall it was great, we will have to find a way to get back to Cape Town in the summer months.
The River Sands was top notch from all aspects. The game drives, food, people, rooms and lodge setup in general. We had an amazing time, wouldn’t change a thing about our first safari experience. We easily saw the big 5 over and over again. We just about saw the big 5 from the lodge eating lunch over the 4 days. River Sands does such a great job with the way the day is setup. Now that we got a taste of a safari i am sure we are going to want to do it again in another part of Africa.
We will definitely recommend you and your company to anyone that will be looking to book trips to Africa.
Thanks again for setting up this trip, it was wonderful.
