I went on this trip with my 11-year-old son to improve my English for my work and for my son to learn a few sentences before he starts school . We discovered this family, it was an incredible encounter. The whole family is very welcoming and so nice . They made ourselves comfortable. We were perfectly integrated . My son could play and enjoyed with the children. I shared a long time with Dee and Erik just talking together and get to know them. I loved this sharing. They have a lovely house close to the sea. We visited coffe farm, game reserve, my son enjoyed fishing, playing in Mac banana park, we had breakfast in an incredible place with such an incredible view , we discovered the smallest desert of the world, and natural reserve with Antony who made our guid, we shared barbecue in the reserve and at home…We did unforgettable activities. There are many things to see and do around Port Edward. My goal was achieved: I improved my speaking and listening. I am very very satisfied with the trip. we were very sad to leave My son and I want to go back next year or in 2 years!! Thank you for everything ❤️❤️
