TOURS FOR OVER 50'S

Hello dear readers!  I really don't know what to wear these days, because this weather is weird to say the least.  It's like having all 4 seasons in one day.  So, take my advice, wherever you roam, go prepared.  Raincoat, bikini or mink coat, just pack it in!

Anyhow, today we are focussing on the not-so-young who are looking to take it easy, yet have fun and adventure.  Believe me, these two tours that I've selected are the ideal getaways with lots to do and lots to see.

Our next tour is something exquisite!  You'll be taking the Cape to Cairo tour on the Rovos locomotive.
These coaches are typical Victorian style and is ment to give you the feeling of days gone by. So, there is NO t.v., NO radio, No internet, NO newspaper!!!!  Although kids are permitted, we prefer you left them at home in someones care as we are aiming at peace and tranquillity.  If you simply must bring your kiddies with, please excercise strict control.  Bad behaviour and screaming won't be tolerated.
