The Reneflot family were extremely easy to tour with. They were a very friendly easy going
family group with whom I shared a lot about South Africa as well as Norway.
Overall we had an amazing time together which I think can be attributed to their
go with the flow attitude as well as their easy ways of doing things. Overall a
great day tour
A HUGE THANK YOU

Hi Selwyn,
Last night we came home after three fantastic weeks in SA:-)
We would like to thank you for the wonderful day we spend together. By
guiding us through the history of SA you gave us an important back-drop for
our stay in SA. Even more important - the visit to Kayamandi township learnt
us so much both about the wonderful people of Kayamandi and the life in
townships in general. Later when we passed townships in other parts of SA -
we saw homes and not shacks. The visit to Kayamandi also gave us a new
perspective on our own lives - we have become more grateful and aware of how
privileged we are - at the same time, as you also pointed out Selwyn, in our way
of living have lost something that still exist in Kayamandi - ubuntu
To us this day is the dearest memory from of our stay in SA - the children
still talk about how grateful they are for it - thank you so much for making
it possible.
We will come back to SA very soon!!!
Warm regards from Norway:-)
Kaja, Mads, Sigurd and Anne
