Just back 2 weeks ago from my first trip to RSA. My PH had recommended 2 hotels for my overnight stay. I chose City Lodge. Marius from Rifle Permits escorted me from police check in to the front desk of the City Lodge. Once I was engaged in the check in process he bid me farewell and have a great hunt. A porter placed my bag and rifle case on the dolly and off we went to my room on the third floor. A nice clean room, actually better than some I have stayed in while traveling in the states. There I was, rucksack, baggage and rifle case. Relaxing until my PH picked me up the next morning. I thought it was nice having my rifle and all my gear in my room. No different than traveling in most states back home. A very smooth transition from airport, rifle check in process, check in hotel. Hats off to Jennifer at Travel Express, Henry at Rifle permits, and my PH at Kwalata Safaris for their help in making a first trip very easy. Oh, booked the room thru Expedia, actually less than some dives I had to stay in while traveling at home.
