2021 Testimonials
Hi Mandy,
I am still reviewing the photos of our trip. Of all the ones we had done, this was clearly the best top to bottom. My repeat safarians totally agree. We followed a leopard in the morning at Savuti for 1 1/2 hours . I took over 800 photos on that encounter alone. I know our group was burdensome in the details, but we all appreciate you so much. I hope the rest of your season has been easier for you.

Mandy:
It has been a week since we arrived home from our month in Africa and L.... and I are still smiling every time we think about the wonderful time we had and the terrific job you did in planning, re-planning and re-planning again for all the changes necessitated by COVID and Emirates Airlines. While we were still apprehensive about COVID in South Africa, as well as crime, certainly based on where we visited those concerns were unwarranted.
Our room at Tintswalo Boulders was spectacular, an upstairs enormous room with an incredible patio. It was too cold and windy to fully enjoy the patio but we did have one great weather day. The food at the hotel was wonderful and the staff treated us like royalty. We also went to Tinstwalo Atlantic for dinner one night and that was also a great experience. The trip included a ride over Chapmans Peak at sunset.
Our time in Franschhoek was also wonderful. I assume it was just the luck of the draw but the room to which we were assigned was one of the second floor rooms with the cathedral ceilings while the rest of the group had first floor rooms. The restaurants Rusty Green picked in both Franschhoek and Cape Town were great, if you have clients looking for a recommendation.
The safari camps were all wonderful. We were especially impressed with the friendliness and exceptional knowledge level of all staff members, especially the guides, at each of the camps. I understand from B.... that we number and diversity of animals we were able to view was better than any trip he had previously taken. Each day was an exciting adventure.
Again, thank you for all your help to make our trip so memorable and we will certainly recommend your services to anyone looking for a great trip to Africa.

Mandy,
G... and I wanted to thank you for our recent trip to Africa. The entire trip was amazing and as G... said we would not have changed anything. Everything went very smoothly with really no hiccups. All of the camps were awesome, guides were great, staff was very pleasant. B.... said he had never seen so many animals and it was truly amazing. Lekkerwater was a great find—fantastic nature, great staff, amazing food. We would highly recommend it for your clients in the future.
Again, G... and I want to thank you for all your work in setting the trip up and ensuring it flowed so smoothly.
Looking forward to our next trip to Africa.
Best

We really had a wonderful time in Namibia, which is really an impressive country. As you said, there were really not many tourists and therefore, we were almost alone in some places such as Big daddy dune for example !!
All the kids really enjoyed the trip, as we had the opportunity to do many different things. From all our Group, I wanted to really thank you for the organisation and the advices you gave us because all went well and as you described !
Your local correspondent and Cliff in particular were great also and of very good assistance when we needed: you can really rely on them locally.
