Hi Susan,
I would like to introduce you to Lew Rood (cc'ed) who is in charge of PR and relations for the Singita game reserve group – acknowledged globally as the leaders in high-end safari tourism in South Africa and Southern Africa. I have spoken to him about the brief for your article and he has expressed a willingness to accommodate you & Chris. He also has a NY based representative who would be able to work with you more closely to design this segment of your trip to one or more of their game lodges. I have told him that ideally you are looking to write an article on the safari experience with a focus on 'safari' food and Stellenbosch wines. I am sure that you would be able to give a better brief.
In principle, they would arrange to get you to the lodges from Stellenbosch and return you to Stellenbosch. They would also coordinate your itinerary during these days with a potential 2-3 day duration..
Lew: Susan is coming to South Africa as a guest of the Stellenbosch Wine Routes and her expenses to get to SA and on this leg of the trip are being taken care of by Stellenbosch. Please would you take over from here and be in touch with Susan? Dates are tentatively first 2 weeks of February 2010 – to be confirmed by Susan.
