Honeymoon to South Africa and Mauritius during February 2012

The most amazing hotel we have ever seen. The location is beautiful, the staff is incredible and the food is to die for. I actually cried when we had to leave. I would go back to South Africa just to stay here

Holiday to South Africa during February 2011

South Africa Review

We have been to South Africa before in February/March when it is the depths of winter in the UK. Envigorating to get away from our dismal weather and the South Africans we have met have always made us welcome. Where we have been, we have alway felt safe although we have clearly avoided the townships...
