Another excellent trip by Expert Africa

South Africa between 28 Oct 2010 and 10 Nov 2010

Trip rating: Excellent
"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."

Victoria & Alfred Hotel

Victoria & Alfred Hotel

"Victoria & Alfred Hotel review"

3 nights Arrived 28 Oct 2010
"The V&A waterfront was as great base for exploring Capetown and the surrounding areas. We really enjoyed our stay here and could not get enough of the great views of table mountain especially when dinning out in the fabulous restaurants in the evenings.

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."

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 rooms were modern, clean and airy with a private seating area overlooking the bay."

"Hog Hollow review"

3 nights 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."
