Small world! Was cool in the evenings and early mornings on the game drives so might be a good idea to take a jacket with you. Blankets are provided also to keep out the chill. Go enjoy! PS - If also visiting CT, city bus tours/tour to Cape Point also excellent experiences.
Good Afternoon .My family of three Adults were thinking off booking a trip next year .Can I ask do you have a room for three Adults and if my wife does not want to do a safari can she stay in the accommodation. Thanks for You help.Alan Harris

This will sound weird but we are going to Sanbona in February and my husband is freaking me out about there probably being large spiders in that area. I have arachnaphobia and now I can't enjoy the planning for worry about that. Can anyone tell me if this is an issue? Thanks
A:
We never saw ONE spider and the chalet 'tents' at Dwyka were insect free.
