I am going to check out all the midrange hotels on the waterfront when I am there in September. Give my analysis, the rack rates for them all and then you can vote. Or I must just say "this is it" when I get back. Depending on how strongly I feel about the choices.

Cape Grace and Table Bay are about $800 a night and that is really too high. I think they are overpriced.

Radisson is about $400 for an ocean view room, and very nice. Great breakfast. At this point my choice. This is what I a using for Tusk.
Right on the water, and very new. Still typcial hotel room but I liked them as well as Cape Grace. Shuttle to the waterfront - less than 5 minutes you can walk it is so close really.

There is the Victoria and Albert, the Commodore (not seen yet) right IN the waterfront and the Southern Sun about a 5 minute shuttle away. I have been to the Southern Sun and the Victoria and Albert but I want to do with a more critical eye.

The quote we get will be "approximate" so many aspects of a safari like this that cannot be confirmed 2 years out. We will price in probably the Radisson so depending on our choices it could change.
