Where to Hour Build in South Africa

Goie More!

Could anybody help me in my quest to find out where I can hour build (i.e. rent a plane) in South Africa. I will be based in George (Garden Route) and would love to find something close to there. I have heard rather bad comments about Cape Flying Services in George (the most convenient location) and loads of good comments about Algoa in Port Elizabeth (not so convenient). Are there any other places such as Mossel Bay or Plettenberg Bay that anyone is aware of?

Secondly, can anyone suggest some places to fly to? I would love to fly along the coast and into the small Karoo perhaps. (Oudtshoorn, Swellendam, Plett, PE, etc.) Does every airport have a run-around car and do they all charge landing fees?

Thirdly, what map should I buy? Can I pick one up in SA or should I pre-order something from Jeppesen for example?

Many thanks for your answers.
