    Kimberley has more than just the big hole to offer. For example, you can go for game drives where you can get to see a variety of antelope and some of the big 5 animals. Also, your own summary seems to be inconsistent. When I do the math myself, I get to 41/50 which comes down to 82%, yet you do the math and choose to disregard your own calculation by giving a rating of 60% (6/10). Next time, try to speak to local travel agents for you to get an unbiased opinion of what is on offer. Anyway, thank you for visiting our quaint city. We have a deep history and we sure do love it here. Kyster Original all the way from Number 5 😘

    • @ExploreWithLia

      I really did like it there! I do enjoy visiting smaller towns whenever I go to a new country. Spent a day at the McGregor museum and it was fascinating, especially reading about the Anglo-Boer War. I do feel like, for foreign tourists, however, the Big Hole is pretty much the only thing they know about when it comes to Kimberley. Edit: As for your comment about the score... yup, it's a mistake. It's supposed to be 8/10... guess I really shouldn't be editing these vids half asleep at 1 haha.

  • @borussia0127
    @borussia0127 5 місяців тому

    Very good and comprehensive review! As a German I used to be proud of LH because of their incredibly diverse fleet and constant good product but nowadays I almost feel ashamed because they keep disappointing everyone, not only their passengers but also their employees. Their pricing is one of the highest in the airline industry and on several occasions they sell Basic Economy Tarifs with no checked luggage while other full-service carriers may offer similar or cheaper prices with luggage included. And you get nothing extra for that amount of money. In contrast, you get a cold and unpleasant breakfast for such a long flight. Disastrous! Even Air China serves two hot meals on their FRA-PEK 9h flight.
