Hi Laura
Here is a short review of the holiday you arranged for the Curran family.
The task we set you was very difficult, a holiday in South Africa for a family of 16 ranging in age from 17 months to 70. Then some extra time for the grandparents!
You understood the requirements and gave us a great itinerary.
I think the balance of Bakubung bush lodge park and Sun City was perfect. The little ones really enjoyed the pool at Bakubung and the animals that were in the garden every morning. The monkeys by the pool provided plenty of entertainment. The older kids and parents loved the twice daily safaris.
There was plenty of choice for food at Bakubung and the service was great.
All our transfers went smoothly and the drivers were always there waiting for us.
The rooms at The Palace of the Lost City were fabulous and we had plenty of room. We spent most of the afternoons by the pool and loved it. The breakfast was amazing, highlight for everyone. The inclusion of the wave park in the hotel stay was such a bonus. Big kids loved it.
We were sad to say goodbye to the kids and wished we were going home with them. We were thinking we’d just rest at The Four Seasons and then catch the train but we really enjoyed our time in Johannesburg. It’s a very fascinating city. The hotel organised a tour of Soweto for us. The guide was a Soweto resident and was knowledgeable.
Our Rovos rail trip was a once in a lifetime experience. We had no idea what to expect and cannot fully describe why it was so enjoyable. The golf courses were varied and each experience was unique. We were welcomed at each club and the guys managing the golf for Rovos did a great job. The meals on the train were delicious, the chef did an incredible job to produce such fine dining from that kitchen. We had some delicious South African dishes and South African wines.
Thank you for all your suggestions and organisation, I think it would not have been anywhere near the experience without your help.

With Adele at the steer, our pleasant travel booking experience, not only starts with the initial request, but continues through our journey, as she stays in touch, checks us in on the various stops, keeps us up to date of any changes and follows us even after we’ve landed. This includes visa services. We feel safe knowing she’s in control. Thankful.
