South Africa, An Elegant Adventure
We are one week away from our "Elegant Adventure". We will arrive a day early in Cape Town. Actually, we will probably arrive at about 11:00PM on the 24th. of October, after about 25 hours of traveling. We have scheduled massages at the Cape Grace, mid-afternoon on 10/25, to help shed the jet lag syndrome. Looking forward to new experiences and memories. The Cape Grace and the surrounding area look phenomenal, as do Kruger and Victoria Falls.

Just got back from this trip. Fantastic !
We got to Cape Town a day early. Our rooms were ready at 2pm. We rested for the afternoon and went out to dinner on wharf as per recommendation from hotel.
Next day we did double decker bus tour and aquarium on our own. Tour started in evening with cocktails and dinner.
Have fun
did you need local currency?
We used credit cards for dinners and the hop on hop off bus tour. But we had local currency for incidentals - a drink at a bar, tips,etc
We got 400 in rand at atm in johansburg
That’s approximately $40
We went to African market there to buy souvenirs on free afternoon , it was towards end of trip so we didn’t have to carry souvenirs everywhere.. definitely bargain there. The merchants expect you to bargain with them.
We used credit cards everywhere else.
We're looking so forward to our July 3,2020 tour!
We are on the tour Sept 30, 2020 and would love to hear any suggestions and communicate with others on this tour.
