Spectacular South Africa Trip
Thanks to Amelia for arranging our holiday in South Africa. we have had a wonderful holiday in South Africa. The weather overall was fabulous ☀️☀️other than some rain at Lalibela and strong winds in Plettenberg. The accommodation /hotels throughout were brilliant! 5☀️ PE Mantis hotel was excellent lovely staff…service 5⭐️ Lalibela Game Reserve was something we have never experienced before. Accommodation, experience and service was 5 ⭐️ we did the 4 game drives available and Techa our Ranger was extremely helpful and knowledgeable . We met some lovely people there, both guests and staff. The service was excellent. Viewed 4/5 of The Big 5 Old Rectory Plettenberg was also very good! Lovely accommodation, service and meals. Beautiful location even although there was a strong but mild wind! Went up to the Plettenberg Hotel for afternoon tea! Whale watching was cancelled, we did go along the next day but again it was cancelled…understandable due to the big sea conditions. We drove to Knysna / Thesen Island and took a boat trip on the lagoon. The captain gave us directions to get to the viewpoint at the end of the peninsula and a lovely restaurant for our lunch stop. Stopped at Wilderness beach on route to Oudtshoorn. The Rosenhof was the standout accommodation 5☀️+. Beautiful meals, location - outstanding. accommodation, staff …excellent! Our trip to the Swartberg Mountains with Lynette was very exciting! Lynette was excellent and relaxing to be with. We did the cango caves, short walk in the lovely warm Swartberg pass, lunch at Prince Albert and home via the waterfall. R62 Oudtshoorn to Franschoek was a beautiful drive. Very scenic and in lovely warm ☀️☀️. Stopped at Diesel & Creme ✔️😎 Franschhoek is very beautiful- nice accommodation, staff were excellent. BikesNWine - Eon & Keegan were brilliant, we had a grand day out! Hic! If we returned would stay at least another night. Cape Town - Absolutely brilliant - we did all the main sights in ☀️☀️. Table Mountain, Robben Island, Cape of Good Hope, V&A, Kirstenbosch Gardens, Camps Bay. We did Cape of Good Hope via M3 getting to Simontown fairly quickly down to Cape Point then driving up the coastline road with all the magnificent scenery! Watched the sunset at Camps Bay. Acorn Accommodation in Cape Town also very good! Location ✔️. So thanks to Amelia and the Audley Team for pulling together such a brilliant itinerary for us. We would love to return one day, maybe a couple of years time God willing! Kind Regards. Ian & Mary.
