The most difficult part of this blog is my question to myself as where to begin. I guess by saying that, as a tourism and hospitality consultant and as an assessor for the Tourism Grading Council of SA, whose focus is on quality assurance, I travel quite extensively, particularly in the NW Province. My job in this regard is to assess the quality of product and service in accommodation establishments and to assist and advise on the maintenance of standards. My job, therefore, is to represent guests and their best interests and expectations.
So join me on my journey of discovery.
Over the past 11 years I have seen and discovered places and met people I never knew existed, or heard of but never visited. I hope to take you on the journey - past, present and future. In doing so I hope I will in some way whet your appetite and awaken in you a desire to want to visit the places I have seen and experienced.
I am not going to be a salesman. I am not going to praise where praise is not deserved. I will tell it as I experience it. If I slate a property and the owners / managers don't like it then perhaps they should pull their socks up and prove that they are prepared to raise their product to acceptable levels.
I am going to tell you about the people I have met and what we said and did.
Together we will visit and experience the awesome beauty of the African bush at luxury game lodges such as Motswiri Safari Lodge in Madikwe Game Reserve, which I visited last month.
We will hunt game with our cameras, photographing lion, buffalo, elephant and rhino. Apologies to the more squeamish but we will see a lion and wild dog kill.
We will also check out B&Bs, guest houses and hotels around the country.
So let's go and have some fun.
I will be going to Orkney, Mahikeng, Rustenburg and Klerksdorp in the next few weeks and I will update on my return.
