Name: Doctor Graham CassfordDate of trip: 14/09/2016
Number of people: 2
Country: South AfricaOverall level of Satisfaction
Tribes Overall: "Apart from not seeing whales in Hermanus - everything else was wonderful"
Tribes Service: "The trip as a whole was greater than the sum of the parts. Sinead put together a great schedule that achieved our aims"
Guides: "Blaine @ Dulini was excellent - very knowledgeable and friendly."
Social & Environmental Responsibility: "Hard to judge"
Accommodation
Very friendly and helpful staff - particularly the concierge team. Lovely food - the paired wine tasting menu is a must
Nice hotel - just slightly eclipsed by the other places we stayed.
The whole experience - game drives, accommodation, staff made this very special.
Villa Quilalea - worth the extra for sure. Diving was great albeit visibility wasn't as good as expected. Again disappointing not to see more of the whales as it was supposed to be peak season.
