South Africa Scouting Trip – Cape Town, Garden Route, Kruger National Park & Jo’burg

Christine Kaerner was in South Africa on a scouting trip (an opportunity to test out the locations, hotels, restaurants etc) and provided the following report of her experience.

Cape Town

The light is special at the Cape. The rotating cable car took us to the top of Table Mountain where we enjoyed a bird’s eye view of the mother city of Africa. Maja, our guide, points to a beautiful white sandy beach. “Camps Bay,” she explains, “where the in-crowd heads to, and it’s lined with palms, trendy bars and restaurants.”

Accommodation: Twelve Apostles

Surrounded by nature, the hotel offers lots of lovely seating areas, two small pools and first class restaurants. Every room has a panoramic view but if you choose the full ocean view you also have to cope with the noise of the coastal road below. Staying in the garden suite we had a quiet night - much needed after an excellent dinner and a long night in the hotel’s Leopard Bar. The award winning Sanctuary Spa is amazing and if you stay at the 12 Apostles, use is included. The Spa is built into a cave, surrounded by rocks and the rooms are joined by illuminated walkways. Don’t miss the breakfast; it was the very best during our journey. The hotel has its own heliport for those who need to quickly jet off to their next destination.
