Lynn&I were supposed to be on this cruise from Mumbai-FLL, but cancelled due to the smoking policy change. I agree with Ngaire; South Africa is the way to go. We've been in the Cape Town area in Nov for a couple of weeks and found it very pleasant( 80s and low 90s ). It is definitely hotter inland though. Even up in the wine country it was in the low 90s on a sunny day. Our friends in Cape Town have a lot of experience with the game preserves and they swear by the ones in SA, as opposed to others in Africa. South Africa is first class all the way. We love it!
