04.01.2022 Our members spend time arranging travel for others. Ever wonder what their favourite destination is and why? Janene Rubens of The Travel Store's favourite d...estination is South Africa.. Janene has been to South Africa twice and while she loves Africa in general, her favourite spots are the Madikwe Game Reserve and the Cape Peninsula. "Madikwe's superb 5-6star lodge is really special. The knowledge of the rangers is amazing and their care and understanding of the local eco environment shone above any others that I have been on safari with. The lodge allowed some very special up-close experiences without endangering the eco system.or for that matter ourselves! We saw all the Big 5 and the rangers ensured we captured the best photographic experiences. The watering hole at the lodge attracts amazing wildlife. Cape Town and the Cape Peninsula are also amazing. On a clear day there are the most spectacular views from Table Mountain. The Cape Peninsula was fascinating with its rich history and so much to see ranging from the quaintness of Simonstown, a picturesque towns right on the water to the Stellenbosch region for wineries and amazing tastings."
