Hi Jessica!

It was indeed a pleasure to meet you yesterday!  Thank you so very much for the very enjoyable lunch.

I am very pleased with the excellent attention that African Travel, Inc. has given me and making me feel that my business is valued.  I think you are a superb addition to their sales staff and I believe you have the professionalism, friendliness, and know-how to be an excellent asset to African Travel.  You already are! I owe most of my success to the very capable and excellent relationship I have with Anais Chavez who when we work together as a team, makes me “shine”.

Thank you so very much.  I value very much the relationship I have with your company…!

SOUTH AFRICA – I have been through Johannesburg many times on forced overnights and connections to other places that have held more interest for the general tourist, never stopping for longer than a night. On this trip I was fortunate enough visit the historical sites of Johannesburg and learn firsthand about South Africa’s history.

Liliesleaf Farm

By far, my favorite is Liliesleaf Farm. It was once the headquarters of the Umkhonto we Sizwe, the military wing of the ANC and the Congress Alliance. What was once a residence has now been converted into a museum where you can experience the accounts of the struggle and events leading to democracy in South Africa. You learn about the white family that covered for the revolutionaries that met there to plot the end of apartheid. I believe that what took place at Lilliesleaf is even more significant to South African history than Robben Island. You will gain a stronger appreciation for the country you visit if you can gain knowledge of its past.
