Hi Tina!

The trip was wonderful!  I would highly reccommend it!  Nomad was excellent, the people were nice, and it was very well organized.  Lesotho was one of my favorite parts and I even bungee jumped along the Garden Route.  I would love to be able to do another one even!

Hope that helps!  Thanks so much!
