Holiday to South Africa during February 2011

We were only at Thunzi Bush Lodge for 1 night before we drove down the Garden route to Cape Town. So all we really wanted was a bed and some food for the night. Would not exactly call it luxury accommodation as in the brochure details as it was what we would call satisfactory. However, we could walk into the bush area to see the wildlife. The food was at best average but the staff were very accommodating.
