River Bend was the highlight of a three week trip from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth. I should like to commend all the staff for their freindliness and competence, especially Stef Marais and Joe Pringle who were so kind to my elderly mother. We post however a plea for a new vehicle for Joe -- his old 4x4 is clapped out and he has to wrestle with the gears. When can there be an ecologically more friendly electric vehicle? Keep up your excellent conservation work.
