| Hello all, yes I’m still at it with my top ten | | | | to adequately convey the beauty of the |
| destinations, we’ve had five so far and | | | | Drakensberg. You might be after five star luxury, |
| I’ve probably left a few of you wondering | | | | camping, climbing, it really doesn’t matter, |
| why your favourite has been left out. | | | | select the resort or accommodation option to suit |
| We are spoiled for choice in our lovely region and | | | | your personal taste but never leave the |
| ten just doesn’t do it, be this as it may, here | | | | Drakensberg off your travel list. |
| we go…I did get a few mails about cheating in | | | | I realise I might be cheating a little by combining |
| that I combined some options…sorry but the | | | | destinations but travel is expensive, for family |
| boss wouldn’t allow me to go up to | | | | holidays a combination allows one to get the best |
| fifty….you’ve had five so far…and I’m | | | | of both worlds and reduce travel costs. Sun City |
| left with only five options. This gets a little more | | | | and the Pilansberg Game Reserve is one of these |
| difficult but I’ll head North into KZN and | | | | ideal combination options. Sun City is by far our |
| combine the St Lucia Estuary; Kosi Bay and | | | | most fantastic single destination resort, |
| recommend this as a combined holiday with | | | | comparable to the best in the world and catering |
| perhaps Hluhluwe Game Reserve or Mkuzi and the | | | | more and more for a full family offering. Facilities |
| other Game Reserve options in the area, plan to | | | | include two of the top golf courses in the country; |
| spend a few days at each and make it a full | | | | entertainment for every age group, combine this |
| weeks holiday, more if you are able, why not, our | | | | with a day or two at Pilansberg and you have |
| natural wonders become more threatened as you | | | | made a good choice. |
| read. | | | | As far as hiking is concerned lets cheat a little |
| One cannot exclude the flowers from our top ten | | | | again and consider two options, the Otter Trail |
| list, the West Coast makes an ideal destination in | | | | along the garden route or the Matola Trail in the |
| the right season to view one of the natural | | | | Eastern Cape, both rated up amongst the world |
| wonders, the wild flowers and West Coast Nature | | | | best by nature lovers. |
| Reserve, combined with a night or two in one of | | | | That’s ten and we haven’t even warmed |
| the quaint fishing villages along the coast, perhaps | | | | up properly. A wise friend once suggested I |
| Paternoster or similar and you’ve had a | | | | should make a list of the top twenty things I |
| unique and enjoyable holiday, unique to South | | | | would like to do before I die and plan when and |
| Africa. | | | | how I was going to do these, after all, it’s not |
| Glorious; dramatic; majestic are adjectives that fail | | | | the things you did in life that you’ll regret. |
