Customer Review

Honeymoon to South Africa during February 2011

South Africa Review

My husband grew up in SA which is why we got married there, so it wasn't a new place to visit. However he had never been that far up KZN and thought is was fantastic and great to see a new area in a country he knows well.

Rated... 5stars
