Glen Afric has a reputation for offering an authentic safari experience close to Joburg. I’d love to enjoy a relaxing, catered break with my wife and enjoy nature at it’s finest without driving too far.

Tracy Kent – 04.10.2022
Enjoying a romantic experience close to home sounds wonderful. Add elephants and sundowners – who could resist ;) ?

Sarah Ramnath – 12.08.2022
Being a freelance writer, I have not travelled at all since the onset of COVID. Last August I lost my beloved sister, and a month later – end of September I lost my son-in-law. Both losses were not COVID related. Losing my son-in-law took a toll on me and my family. I travel every month to spend time with my daughter, as she is taking his death badly. I think I really need this well-deserved break.

Michael Weingartz – 26.07.2022

Jacqui Rutherfurd – 25.07.2022
My best friend (78) & myself (turning 70) were both widowed during Covid. It has been a nightmare experience for both of us.- Neither of us drove much before, as our hubbies were always there to do the driving, so we rarely get to see each other anymore. We have both been left short of money & Glen Afric sounds like just what we both need, and it’s within easy driving distance. Please consider us for this much needed prize.
