“Thanks a lot for the feedback I was planning to stop over their in July when I drive down to South Africa But now I have changed my plans Regards Franques Lee Zambia” - Franques Lee, 2009/06/03
“Janine Information (below) as is.. should go on Padkos w189277” - Wouter Brand, 2009/06/03
“Wouter and Rob, I've double checked this and my position as submitted is correct. The position on the Website is garbage. ... and yes, you are right, the Camp is nothing to write home about. Run by a Hippie from the 1960's, the Camp looks just like that. The Sofas around the Lounge Ara and Fire are old 3/4 beds with these indian type Material covered pillows - totally uncomfortable. The only thing the Manager talks about is the visit of William and Harry with their girlfriends... (and yes, that's the 2 guys from Buckingham Pallace) b.t.w. they also managed to stuff up my booking and he refused to accept that as his mistake, he simply dropped us off in Gweta for the second night we had booked. Maybe the wrong co-ordinate is given on purpose as he told me that he doesn't like self-drives there and I wasen't allowed in with my vehicle. Definitely NOT RECOMEDABLE! kind regards, Heiner Dillmann [email protected]” - Heiner Dillman, 2009/06/03
“Rob, http://accommodation.drivesouthafrica.co.za/makgadikgadi-camp/ and it gives location for Makgadigadi Camp as S20.438943; E25.232406 Donât think this is correct.. because I donât think Heiner Dillmann can make mistake like this⦠He is usually meticulous with the GPS coordinate of the places he enjoys his sundowners.” - Wouter Brand, 2009/06/03
“http://accommodation.drivesouthafrica.co.za/makgadikgadi-camp/ And it would turn out the company I am not a fan of, has this on their website.” - Robbie Bekker, 2009/06/03
