It sure is difficult to return to the “real world” after what can only be described as the Trip of a Lifetime! Our stay in Maritius couldn’t have gone any more perfect. I wanted to thank you for all that you did to make sure that they took such exceptional care of us. In retrospect, I think we both wish that we had a couple more days on that special little island but I guess that gives us plenty of reason to go back!
We went from there to Lions Sands and we were equally blown away by that place. We met Ronnie and his wife Patricia and they made sure that our stay was exceptional in every possible way. From decorating our bed with flower petals to making sure that our night in the Kingston Tree House was virtually perfect, we honestly were blown away by that whole experience and managed to not only see the Big Five, but also get up close and personal with a pride of lionesses and their cubs, a female leopard stalking at dark, and a pack of wild dogs which are apparently very difficult to see. Oh, and on our final night, a herd of elephants basically took over Lions Sands and proceeded to dine right outside our room. Couldn’t imagine it getting any better than that!
We then went onto Cape Town and loved our time with Colin – he was an awesome guide and took such excellent care of us. We saw everything that we could have hoped to have seen and were taken great care of by the staff at The Twelve Apostles and More Quarters. The day in the wine country ended up being fabulous and the lunch we had was to die for. So, all in all… an excellent trip in every possible way!
