The visit to South Africa was very productive and included a visit to the company whom we intend buying the roofing for the public areas from. It was decided that we would use a synthetic thatch which serve us much better as far as durability and transport costs go. Furthermore, this would also mean we could harvest rainwater from these roofs. The synthetic thatch is well manufactured with custom-made colours and looks like the natural thatch. This also bring down the total weight and stress on the overall roof structure as this product is all in all with waterproffing material and backing, max an inch thick. 'Installation' will also be a fraction of the time-frame it would take to use natural thatching on the 2,000sq.m roofs.
I also went to get some examples of toiletries for our safari tents and both Sarah and I agree with the quality that we'll be able to provide quality in even this to our guests. There was also a visit to a firm in Cape Town which it seems we'll be sourcing the majority of our linen from who is also a large supplier to the hotel and hospitality industry in SA.
Kitchen design was also on the agenda and I had a very informative and productive meeting with a specialist company in Cape Town.
