Could not have been more pleased!

Hi Gavin!

We could not have been more pleased with both the safari and our stay at Marben Manor! Thank you so much for your help in making the arrangements for us! Our Spur Wing tours were also excellent.

You kept emphasizing that Marben Manor was a budget accommodation, but other than the location, which is still quite acceptable, we found ourselves in a little bit of paradise. The rooms were lovely, with a delightful attention to small details, like fresh flowers and lavender on the towels. The food was superb and plentiful. Best of all, Willem and Yvonne and their son Eben were consummate hosts, very accommodating and informative. We were all very sad to leave our new-found friends.

John Wilhelm was the person in our group who REALLY wanted to go on a safari in Kruger. I was less eager, but thought it might be an interesting new, "I'll do it once, but not twice" experience. I am so glad I went!! Neil was a superb guide and a great cook as well! I have completely changed my mind about the type of safari experience we had and would gladly do it again. Neil's knowledge and obvious love of the animals was such an inspiration. I have fallen in love with Planet Earth in a new way!

Thanks again for making our stay in South Africa so memorable!
