Greetings from Cape Town,
I hope you are all geared for the summer season. Some of our members have not had a good season at all. During these quiet times we need to offer our visitors as many specials as we can, so as not to have empty beds.
We are happy to advertise any specials during these times, as always free of Charge, as our letters travel all over South Africa, Namibia and even overseas.
Being quiet have given us a chance to concentrate on the “Go Cards” and we have received our first news cards a few days ago for Cape Town & Beyond card, which is valid for 1, 2, 3 & 7 Days. We are now busy loading suppliers from Route 62 and the Garden Route. So those of you that have activities, restaurants or animal encounters, and what about a museum or two, that they would like to list on our cards, please do contact me. Chris and I will be visiting your area shortly, so hope to see some of you on the way. Do have a look at our updated website: - www.gocards.co.za. These cards are also obtainable through our online website, or from your Tourism Office, or information centres and Computickets. Cape Town Tourism will start selling them from the Cape Town International Air Port in December. We wish you all a wonderful summer season and will also be visiting some of our Members en route to do some site inspections.
Warm Regards,
Elaine Corbett

The Giraffe bulls are also using up a lot of their time competing with each other.
This is called “necking” is done to determine who of the two males competing is stronger
and more dominant. Giraffe do not fight for territorial purposes as they do not protect
certain areas, but rather Fight for breading rights. “Necking” can go on for hours on end.
It usually ends with one of the malesbeing either too exhausted to continue or more simply
showing an act of submission…………

Blackwater Tubing the most affordable
Garden Route Experience:
Without a doubt the most fun I have ever had and
what made my experience even more satisfactory
was the good old South African Braai that followed
the experience and wait it was included in the rate!
By far great value for money. They charge R 550
per person and offer a 20% commission structure.
The venue offered awesome accommodation also
at great value, R350 per room and R35 for a full
buffet breakfast consisting of all home made goods.
