\"S\"Sydney small business owners, Andrew and Kellie Howard hit a hole in one by scoring the ultimate lucky door prize at the MICENET A Meeting on the Green Golf Day last year and jetted off on an eight day trip to South Africa, flying Qantas Business Class and travelling through <\/span>Johannesburg<\/a> and <\/span>Cape Town<\/a>.<\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Andrew and Kellie were taken aback by the pure beauty of South Africa, perfect weather and the numerous bucket list items they ticked off in the Rainbow Nation.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cOur trip can only be described as amazing and a once in a lifetime experience that we will remember for the rest of our lives,\u201d said Andrew.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cSouth Africa is an incredible country, with experiences to suit every traveller. Everywhere we went the people, food and landscapes were perfect! Our favourite part was defiantly going on safari in the spectacular Pilansberg Game Reserve and seeing the vast amount of animals in the wild. It was unbelievable.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cWe were also lucky enough to experience an array of hotels and restaurants, which words cannot describe. They were just incredible. The standout was the Palace of the Lost City and the world-class wineries around Cape Town, which included the private vineyards of the beautiful Delaire Graff Estate. You just have to go and experience it yourself,\u201d continued Andrew.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Having fallen in love with the Rainbow Nation, the couple is keen to return to South Africa with their children to share their adventures, as well as tick more items off their Bucket Lists.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
\"S\"\u201cWe would highly recommend visiting Soweto<\/a> in Johannesburg. Spending time with the locals gave us a great insight into South Africa\u2019s history and culture and provided us with a greater understanding of the country\u2019s beautiful people and modern way of life. We can\u2019t wait to take our children so they can experience all the adventure, culture and history as we did. They will love it,\u201d said Andrew.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
South African Tourism\u2019s General Manager of Australasia and proud South African, Lalie Ngozi, was delighted that another Australian couple has fallen in love with her beloved country.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cI\u2019m always so thrilled when travellers return from my homeland and sing its praise. It\u2019s wonderful to hear Andrew and Kellie were able to experience the abundance of activities on offer in South Africa and I look forward to hearing about the couple\u2019s future trip with their kids.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cBoasting adventure holidays which include world class safaris and rich history, combined with renowned food and wine, South Africa is a once in a lifetime holiday which everyone needs to tick off their Bucket List,\u201d said Ms. Ngozi.<\/span><\/div>\n
