Thanda Game reserve has to be the most memorable although it was hard to pick a specific part of it. It was fantastic and we couldn't have been treated better or had a more pleasant experience ... we will be back.

The vacation was fantastic as a whole! We had a good taste of the atmosphere in Cuban life. The cities were beautiful, with music on every corner, the rural villages were adventurous and the diving and snorkeling was phenomenal.

The Drakensberg mountains and Didima camp at Cathedral Peak provided a magical start to the vacation, with stunning scenery, fantastic hiking and lovely accommodation; we could easily have stayed much longer there.

Most exciting - seeing lions, leopard and African wild dogs eating, sleeping or playing from only a few feet away. Most memorable - visit to Soweto...We had a really great vacation.
