David has just returned from hosting a trip to South Africa for five of our excellent travel agents and one of our reservations team. They stayed 3 nights in the central plains of the Kruger National Park and 2 nights in each of Franschhoek in the Winelands and Cape Town. And it was quite trip. Kruger Untamed - Satara hosted them in quality tented accommodation with game galore including so many elephant, giraffe and buffalo....and honey badgers.

Franschhoek included stays at two different but amazing properties Mont Rochelle & Boschendal with site inspections of another five different properties. The range and quality of accommodation options here is exceptional. They saw Le Quartier Français The Last Word Franschhoek Country House & Monneaux Restaurant La Fontaine Boutique Hotel Franschhoek & Avondrood Guest House

In Cape Town they had 1 night at the lovely boutique Four Rosmead followed their last night at the iconic One&Only Cape Town with visits to Mount Nelson, A Belmond Hotel Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel More Quarters Neighbourhood Hotel Cloud 9 Boutique Hotel & Spa The Clarendon Fresnaye Boutique Hotel Queen Victoria Hotel The Commodore Hotel & Cape Grace, A Fairmont Managed Hotel

Between all this there were educational presentations, stories around the camp fire, wine tasting, superb food, sightseeing, a heli ride along the Cape Town coast with NAC Helicopters Cape Town and they met the very best of people.

It truly was a trip to remember thanks to South African Tourism - UK & Ireland Travel Trade and a host of other supporters. Your hospitality, generosity and friendship will not be forgotten
