AMAZING trip for 2 of us

South Africa | Nov 22 - Dec 1, 2023

The room was great! The receptionist was even better! We felt so welcomed for those few days. We were always greeted as we go in and out the hotel. They do make sure your stay or rest would be at its best too. But the area doesn't seem to have much going on. Waterfront was just 10mins away. Didn't manage to use the facilities in the hotel. The view from the room itself has Table Mountain in the background! Bed and pillow were all comfy too. Very spacious and clean!

It was amazinggggg. Stayed for 2 nights amd wished we could stay longer. We were so well fed and game drives were all exciting! The services were really were the best I had. The view from the lodge was so good that I could see all the wild coming to the waters in such heat.

Everything was going great till the time I was going to bed. We felt welcomed and things were explained to us in details before checking in. I was glad to see mosquitoes net being provided in the room. We weren't told that there would be another small room in our room itself and was pretty shocked to see two extra beds in the dark room as we opened it. Spooked us a little at night and the mirror was just right in front of our bed with the small room's door in sight. When I flipped the blanket all I see is black dots like somebody stepped on with muddy shoes. I was really unhappy and called the reception for a change. All we got was two flat sheets with no service to change those dirty sheets. We had to rip out the dirty sheets ourselves. The new ones aren't exactly clean as well. The corners of it were stained. We didn't have much energy at that time so we just lay the cleanest side over. Pillows were bad too. The first night was pretty hot even though we had the aircon full blast. Fan is creaky and noisy too. We had the most unpleasant sleep. Toilets are fine and clean, all things provided. The walls can be a lil more soundproof or if you like nature, it might not bother you. But lightsleepers might have issues with it. The pools were not visually clean so we didn't use them. Food was great though, plenty of choices. Place out from the room itself was quite well maintained, comfortable. Hopefully room slippers can be provided too. Area is near to vic falls. Didn't explore outside the accomadation so not so sure about the location.

We only had a night stay before transiting to MQP flight to Vic Falls. The room is very spacious and the manor as most things provided. We didn't explore out from the manor but we didn't see much things going on and don't feel safe enough to go out from it. There are plenty of mosquitoes as we dine in their restaurant but the food was great. The bed was hard though.

Gugu was really welcoming! She helped us with the check in and informed us the safety around the area. Even though it was just a night stay, we really had a good one. Breakfast was perfect too! I would stay here again if I'm back!

Didn't make it for the trip. Was only at the foot of the cable car. It'd be better with sunny weather.

Area is quite self explanatory. The guide didn't really explain as the group member were all moving from point to point at different speed. Time was a lil too short and had not much time to explore the area on our own.

Distance was a lil too long for thre route. I don't think we experience the best we could. The guide wasn't really participating, more like just a driver? I guess it was because of the long journey as well. Places we go are pretty but the journey to them, not so much. The vehicle we were in was too old, very hot and we don't feel comfortable throughout the route.

The introduction and guide was great. Journey was smooth and enjoyable with Ulrich.

Guide wasn't very engaging. The group of people travelling were not the best as well. Quite some waiting time around. It was our first tour in Cape Town and since we were still in good mood, didn't affect us that much as we did some self entertainment. The places of visit doesn't seem so exiciting as well. Weather was very cloudy and didn't manage to see most views either.

I wasn't much of a drinker so I didn't really enjoy this area as much. But Stellenbosch is a pretty area itself, full or galleries and restaurants. Guide has quite a character and was quite interesting as she shared her knowledge. Food wise was going great, interesting to taste what the locals eat in the area. Stellenbosch wasn't big, so we realised we walked around and round the same places. 6 streets is all you need to recognise and get around.

Hippos and crocs! The ones that we didn't see much during our safari game drives came visiting us during the cruise ride. The captain captures our attention pretty well, Grey served us well too. Plenty of food but not so much of sunset. The weather was cloudy and we quite missed the sun. There were quite some other cruise going on, so I guess the river really seemed very busy. Comparing other cruise, I'd say our crowd is good, not packed, which means chances of getting good pictures and less noise.
