Good afternoon Leony,

We would like to thank you for the excellent organised trip that we booked with you. South Africa is a remarkable country with a great deal of diverse nature and culture.

Upon arriving in Zimbabwe, we were politely picked up and taken to our hotel. This was, by the way, an excellent hotel with all amenities. The Victoria Falls were truly amazing to see, even though there wasn't much water in the river and the Falls weren't flowing across their full width. The people in Zimbabwe are incredibly kind, but it is indeed advisable to bring plenty of dollars. Prices there are on par with the European market; a 1.5-hour boat trip quickly costs $20 per person.

We then had a bizarre flight to Johannesburg. He had to circle twice to land and we had quite a bit of turbulence. There was also someone from Bobo campers waiting for us. After the explanation of the camper, we could set off. Unfortunately, we were quite late, which meant we had to drive quite hard to get to the campsite on time (as it would close at 5 p.m.). Without being able to do any shopping and with just enough petrol, we arrived at the campsite around 5:30 p.m. and luckily they still let us in. So that was quite touch-and-go, also because we had a bit of a delay on our flight. The Kruger Park was truly fantastic.

We were a little disappointed with the St Lucia campsite. You don't arrive until around 2:30 PM, and then you don't really have time to go hiking (only possible with a guide). You could also go to the beach there, but you'd be bored after an hour. We also didn't realise there was no restaurant or anything similar. Perhaps it would be useful to mention this in the directions. Luckily, we still had a tin of spaghetti with us... The Lelyhoek campsite was very run down. There had only been a new owner since October 1st. The swimming pool was empty, with only two frogs swimming in it. The toilets weren't great either, and we didn't really feel safe there (the security guard was an elderly, limping man, and there were a lot of locals living in the cottages they rented out).

Cradock was slightly better, but also actually ranked among the worse campsites (again with many locals). The most beautiful campsite was by the sea in Tsitsikamma National Park. Whales were swimming behind the campervan! You could also walk to the waterfalls, however, this was quite a dangerous trek! You had to climb over boulders along the sea! Absolutely beautiful though!
We really enjoyed ourselves and look back on a very nice trip!

Thanks for all the information!

Greetings,
J and J.
