Overnight in Johannesburg. (Not currently featured by Expert Africa)

"Overnight in Johannesburg. review"

1 night Arrived 7 Jun 2013
"The airport hotel was fine, but not a memorable experience. Why should it be?

Transfer from the airport to the hotel was chaotic and ill-organised. The hotel should know how many guests it has arriving, and should have enough transport.

One annoying aspect of arriving in Johannesburg is the pestering by "porters", but this is a problem for the airport authorities, not Expert Africa. We learned from our initial experience on arrival, and managed it better on this second occasion."

"Gorillas in the eucalypt forrests"

3 nights Arrived 8 Jun 2013
"My only complaint about this part of the trip is that I was unaware that there were other parks and activities which I could have experienced; my fault as I assumed that we were only going for the gorillas, and had done no research on the rest of Rwanda."
