First time travelling to the Cape in 22 years. Beautiful scenery, time spent with family. Loved driving the new car throughout South Africa.

We had a wonderful time visiting Kruger national. The call of the wild restaurant I would highly recommend it. The call of the wild lodge was so relaxing. Home away from home. The host Sue and her husband are great hosts

They won't leave you alone if you are troubble
I had an accident on my holiday in Italy. I had full insurance with DiscoverCars. These guys are great ! At first I called and the lady on the phone helped me to find my ground, was very gentle and sweet. When I got back home I thought the whole process would be a mess. But I filed a complain, and got in touch with Alexander who guided me through the whole process. I got all my money back. So my suggestion if you travel abroad, always get full coverage. And be sure you won't be left alone to deal with situation if something goes wrong
