Really well done. I know how long it takes to write these things so thanks!
How much was the elephant camp per night?
Did you upgrade your EY flight by transferring to EY miles or did you just pay for it?
I don't know if the weather was good for you, but the drive from CPT to Cape Point is one of, if not the prettiest in the world. Mind bogglingly pretty.
I personally wouldn't have crammed in as much as you did, miss too much that way, IMHO, but it seems like it worked out for you.
Thank you. It really did take a long while, but it was my way of giving back to the community which has helped me on all of my other trips. I’m glad you appreciate it.
I transferred miles to EY for the upgrade. I was offered the option to bid, but my low bid was not accepted and a higher bid would not have been worthwhile. The minimum bid (which I understand is never accepted) on the NY — AUH leg would have been $1,200 per ticket each way.
You are absolutely correct. The city just breathes beauty. Everywhere you look there are magnificent mountains and coastlines. Unfortunately, much of the brush was burnt in some of the areas though.
I prefer crammed trips. I don’t get to travel as often as I would like, and I try to do as much as I can when the opportunity arises. I understand your perspective; to each his own I guess...
