Re: Hiking...I think we are going to do the India Vestner route, which I understand requires a guide for amateurs.
Re: Panorama...We may try to take a Panorama Route drive one day between morning and evening game drives.
Sounds like most people agree about renting a car for at least a day.
Any thoughts on Gabsbaai vs. Simon's Town for sharks?
Any personal experience/recommendations on the Cape Town dining scene?
Thanks!
