Kruger National Park was the most exciting - we saw absolutely everything there was to see - Rhino, Hippo, Lions, Elephants, Leopards, Crocodiles, Hyenas, Baboons, Water Buffalo, Impala, Wart Hogs, Kudu, Springbok and Birds too numerous to mention.

One special moment I shall remember is the magnificent braai organised in Scotia Park after a days game watching. The personal attention of the ranger, the quality and quantity of the food, the free bar, the kindness, the gentle music played around the campfire and the intimacy of the environment made this braai an unforgettable high.

There were many moments, but if i had to choose it was whilst driving through Kruger Park a group of five elephants crossed the road, we stopped the car and waited for them to pass. The last elephant before crossing altogether raised its trunk at us as a sign of thank you for letting them cross. It was fantastic.

Most memorable was hiking up table mountain in the morning and doing two wine tastings in the afternoon on one day.

The Drakensberg mountains and Didima camp at Cathedral Peak provided a magical start to the holiday, with stunning scenery, fantastic hiking and lovely accommodation; we could easily have stayed much longer there.

Both my wife and I enjoyed a most wonderful holiday. Walking up Table Mountain, and private tour of the Cape were the highlights in Cape Town. Route 62 was well worth it, garden route was such a pleasure to drive. Excellent.

It was all memorable! The whales in Hermanus really caught our attention as they swam passed us and were literally 10 metres from us. Definitely no need to go out in a boat to see them! The itinerary worked like clockwork.
