Andrew met us at O.R. Tambo at 0400 and spent nearly 10 hours with us, driving to and through Pilanesburg National Park. We were there shortly after opening and saw the Big 5 (ok, no Cape Buffalo, but that's ok). We witnessed a cheetah family having a nosh on the ground which is entirely unheard of! Baby elephants, rhino's, zebras (pronounced correctly!) and so much more! We stopped at Sun City for lunch (Nando's!), then he delivered us to our guest house in Silver Lakes. He was available the following Tuesday, so he again picked us up at the guest house then took us to Constitution Hill and coordinated the tour there (be prepared to cry--a lot!) then to Soweto. We visited the Hector Pieterson Memorial (more tears), Nelson Mandela's home and a great lunch down the street. Again, he spent over 4 hours with us. Andrew loves his country and it shows in the way he highlights important areas as well as describing historic events. We really enjoyed his expertise and conversational manner. Thank you, Andrew, for a wonderful experience. It was the prefect introduction to South Africa.
