African Travel Gateway

Bob & Barbara Wheeler - Southern Africa Safari (senior citizens)

Hi Ms Botha I a/k/a Cindy and Ms Botha II a/k/a Anna-Lee

We have returned home from our odyssey to South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana.  Since we are senior citizens, it will probably take a few days to unscramble our brains from the long trip and time change.

The trip far exceded our expectations for which we express our sincere appreciation to you for arranging the itinerary.  We rated the trip as excellent plus.  The places we went, the things we saw, the accomodations, the people we met and our guides were all excellent.  At Chobe we saw every type of animal and bird in the park and at a very close distance.  We have traveled the world and I am hard pressed to recall a more beautiful place than the southern coast of South Africa.

When we arrived in Capetown I made a very wise decision to visit the Avis office near our hotel and drop the car off.  We took taxi cabs and it was much easier for us to get around.  Also, we didn’t need to worry about the drive to CPT on Sunday morning and the drop off.  We were charged for a six day rental for a cost of 2789.90 rand.  In addition we had a cost of ZAR 607.61 for the six day use of a gps, liability insurance and vat.  Since we prepaid for nine days for the car rental, we should be entitled to a refund for the three days we didn’t use the car?  The Avis representative advised that we would need to contact you for the adjustment.

If we hear any of our friends are interested in a trip to South Africa, we shall, without hesitation, recommend that they contact you.  Thanks again for a most enjoyable trip.
