If you are on your way to South Africa, and do not know your way around – we have the perfect thing for you…
Satellite Navigation, or SAT NAV is possibly one of the best inventions of the century – and makes a map book look archaic. If you do not want to get lost on your holidays, hire a SAT NAV! The service has recently been started, and the company behind it all is Zintech.
They will deliver the TomTom system to you at your house or place of work, which gives you time to enter the places you are going and to get familiar with the system – it comes with the guides, but you do want to know how to use it before you go. I have used the TomTom before, and they are absolutely great.
Strangely enough, I used mine to get from the airport to my accommodation, then shut it down and went to get lost! It’s a great way to see the country – but only because I knew that all we had to do was to get the TomTom out of the boot, switch it on and get us out of being lost! We also took part in some geocaching (we found one geocache on Table Mountain, and one in Nelspruit near the Kruger Park. We also hired a car in Durban, but we decided to relax on the beach for most of the time.
Back to the UK soon – but all relaxed and fattened up.
