The Early Days

Starting as an idea many years ago, forgotten, superseded by other ideas and then allowed to flourish as time and circumstance conspired, we started building a dream machine. It takes the form of a web 2.0 platform through which users can choose from a list of real opportunities they want to experience, based on what fascinates them most. Our machine is almost ready. When it is born, like everything else, it will be in its infancy, and from there it can only grow.

We come from Cape Town, right in the southern corner of Africa. The first country our machine will run in will be ours. It will help to demonstrate to the rest of the world what a rich and complex land South Africa is, and will give clues to help uncover some of her best kept secrets. Our mission is to send the right people to the right places so that they can live their dreams, and even the dreams they never knew they had. Our database presently holds in excess of eight thousand points of interest which can be matched with the user's interests and places they plan to travel, providing them with an optimized itinerary for their time in our beautiful country.

Building this dream machine is a formidable task, but it is being dutifully undertaken by a dedicated team. We are going through what the country has to offer with a fine toothed comb, finding exactly where each interesting thing is so that users can locate them on a map with a single click. We are painstakingly designing and redesigning our site to maximize efficiency and user-friendliness. We are constantly diversifying, adapting and evolving so that our machine lives up to its name: Ultimate Holiday Planner.com
