BOB'S A STAR PRIZE WINNER
BOB MORTIMER, Travel

properties to spend his nights: Jock Safari Lodge in Kruger National Park, the private Sanbona Wildlife Reserve in Western Cape and Shamwari Game Reserve, home of the Born Free big cat sanctuary, in the Eastern Cape. Bob was ecstatic when we contacted
him: "Wow this is amazing! Thank you so much, you’ve made my day," said Bob, who plans to combine his Shamwari stay with a tour of South Africa. He added: "I'm really looking forward
to being out in the bush and seeing the big fi ve. I would say vote, vote, vote for these great awards because, like me, you might end up a very happy winner."
Next stop – Madeira! GERALDLINE GOWER, a
Co-operative Travel Personal Travel Advisor, won a week's holiday for two at the fi ve-star Casino Park Hotel in Madeira's liveliest city, Funchal. "My prize is amazing," Geraldine said. "I certainly did not expect to win anything but I am thrilled and
delighted!" Courtesy of Atlantic Holidays, which has a close relationship with Pestana Hotels & Resorts, Geraldine and her lucky companion will be able to sun themselves by the pool amongst the fi ve-star hotel's lush gardens, which are fi lled with the tropical plants the island is famous for.

restaurants and bars, including the Panoramic Restaurant with its stunning views of Funchal Marina, or indulge in aromatherapy treatments and relax in a Turkish bath at the spa. If all the relaxing gets too much, there is always the nearby casino, the vibrant city, beaches, mountain vistas or a tipple of that famous Madeira wine to keep them occupied.
