SFH and conversions in Cape Town

I'm considering a holiday in SA later this year, and wondered about the possibility of a JAA -> SA CAA PPL conversion and some R44 self-fly while out there. Can anyone suggest or recommend a school / hire outfit in the Cape Town area? Any idea as to per-hour prices of a 44?

Does anyone have any first-hand experience of JAA to SA license conversions? What is actually involved, and how long is the process likely to take? Obviously, if there is a 2 month delay between taking a flight test and getting the requisite paperwork, it's probably not something I'd be able to do at the beginning of a 2-week holiday that involves self-flying in week 2...

I've found Base4 so far, but not having much luck beyond that. Their email server appears to have some issues...
