Letter from the Editor

This month, I wanted to take a second to thank you for being here. We are so happy to welcome you to the Bidvest Premier Lounges. Our customers have been supremely loyal and supportive during this very turbulent time and I think it deserves a special mention.

As usual, we have prepared a wonderful edition for you and hopefully it will encourage you to channel some of your wanderlust towards one of the many wonderful holiday destinations that you can find in South Africa.

I generally try to avoid listing magazine features in my Editor’s Letter but this month we have some great articles that I would like to draw your attention to!

In an attempt to cultivate that wanderlust, we sent Nicky Furniss to the beautiful Thanda Safari Game Reserve in Kwazulunatal. Offering an authentic safari experience, Thanda is the perfect choice for nature lovers who, whether for financial or logistic reasons, cannot quite manage a trip to the Kruger National Park. The reserve offers three accommodation options so there is something perfect for everyone. These options include Thanda Tented Camp, Thanda Safari Lodge, and Villa Izulu. Turn to page 32 and get ready for some serious travel envy!

It is no secret that the automotive industry in South Africa has suffered terribly in the past 13 months, but the question needed to be asked: Is it worth buying a pre-owned car? We dived into the details to find out if buying a new car is better than buying pre-owned!

You can also check out our wine selection at the back of the magazine. So sit back, relax and have a glass of wine with us in the Bidvest Premier Lounge. Happy flying!
