In March 2023 we embarked on a tour with Amanda and Lofty, having seen videos about them and SunEden on Vimeo.
They collected us on a Friday and took us to SunEden where we met the other guests from the UK and the Netherlands and we spent the weekend there before embarking on a series of trips to various game reserves, cultural centres and other places of natural beauty and historical significance, plus more time at SunEden.
We really enjoyed the whole tour, but we commented that we really enjoyed our time at SunEden the most, because it was so relaxing and while not our first nudist experience, was the first time at a nudist resort where we did not have to bring anything or do anything ourselves and the interaction with animals and people was brilliant.
When Lofty advised that they had planned a “Naked Tour” in February this year (2024), we jumped at the opportunity and even opted to extend our time so that we spent another weekend at SunEden before flying home.
This time we shared the tour with people from Sweden, UK and USA, and as with the previous tour we had a great time.
This time was focussed on game reserves, animal sanctuaries and nudist venues and was right up our street as far as what we wanted from our holiday.
We appreciate that first time visitors from overseas would be looking for more of the whole South African experience, but for us having spent several textile holidays there many years ago, naturism and wildlife were our focus and Amanda and Lofty delivered this in spades.
They were very accommodating of ours and other guests needing to deviate from the set itinerary, remembered my beer preference from the first trip and ensured there were a few beverages in the fridge on our first night.
The staff and several of the residents at SunEden remembered us and rather than running for cover, made us very welcome, even making a trip to the nearest town to get medicine from a chemist for the wife’s post covid chest infection.
For us, not having to drive, plan anything or cook was what a holiday should be.
The hardest part was deciding what to order to eat and if we should shower or soak in the spa bath with a beverage and nice background music.
It is very hard to beat sitting nude out on the thatched veranda in the morning with your coffee and rusks and watching the passing parade of antelope and birds stopping to graze in front of you. If circumstances permit, we will definitely go on those tours again.
