?How about 30 days in South Africa starting next month?

FYI, we are a 60ish couple who have car tripped all of North America
and Europe

I thinking of a visit.

Flying in to Johannesburg

A few days in Johannesburg

A few days in Krugher National park

Renting/leaseing a car in Johannesburg

Drive to Cape Town

A few days in Cape Town

Drive the coast to Durban

Drive to Johannesburg

Fly out of Johannesburg

Have I got a good start on where to go?

Is a month a good amount of time?

Is this the right time of year?

Any opinions on:

31 day Thrifty auto rental

Hyundai Getz manual, AC, Unlimited Mileage

ZAR 4,646 with no insurance as I will cover it with my AMEX Gold Card

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Apartments:

Westpoint on Grayton in Sandton for ZAR 4,500 for 7 nights



Waterfall Cottages on Craighall in Sandton for ZAR 3,094 for 7 nights

Great price on the car.
Works out to $21 a day.
AMEX should send you the note that guarantees you
are covered. Otherwise, Thrifty has the option - if they
choose to use it - of requiring you to add the coverage
when you take the car.

Craighall Park and Grayston Drive are both in good areas. The Grayston Drive
address is closer to the Nelson Mandela Square, and therefore closer to
restaurants, shopping etc. however, if you have a hired car, either address
will suit you. Craighall Park is likely to be quieter and probaly a bit
older and quainter (although nothing is really old - Johannesburg was only
founded in 1886). Craighall is one of the older suburbs, and is
traditionally an up-market, old-money area.

Glad to hear your trip was a good one. Can't wait to hear all about
it.

And if you figure out the second point, there's likely a Nobel Prize
in your future...however, I'd love to hear your perspective while
you're working on it. :-)
