Battlefield Hluhluwe Imfolozi Road Trip – 5 nights Cape Town | 2 nights Drakensberg | 2 nights Anglo-Zulu War Battlefields | 3 nights Hluhluwe-Imfolozi
Overview
This was our first trip to South Africa so we sent Tammy our wish list, what type of accommodation we liked and an indication of our budget. She came back with a proposal which I don’t think we even needed to tweek. Between booking and the date of our trip Tammy kept in contact and promptly answered any of our queries. We were met at the airport, taken to our hotel and given our itinerary. Next morning Lele Mbinda picked us up promptly and took us on the first of three tours in Cape Town. The tours were adapted according to the weather and our special interests. We flew to Durban to pick up a hire car for the next stage of our trip. All the instructions got us to our hotels easily and each had its own character. The Rhino Ridge Lodge was one of the highlights. During the three nights we stayed we went on six game drives with Hala who ensured we saw an amazing variety of wildlife, identifying any we didn’t know. The truck seldom had more than four passengers and you felt like you were on your own private safari. The staff at the lodge itself were friendly and helpful, and the food well balanced in terms of size and variety. The staff singing for residents birthdays was something special. It was a wonderful holiday beyond our expectations and we are very grateful to Tammy for her organisation and suggestions.
