Dream Come True

We are currently waiting in the Frankfurt airport for our final flights back to Canada, and are sad to have left beautiful South Africa. The trip was truly a dream come true.

Thank you so much for your time and expertise in planning our trip. Your advice and help was invaluable. I have to tell you, our entire trip was AMAZING. Everything went so smoothly. All of the service we experienced was absolutely fantastic, everything exceeded our expectations.

All of our accommodations were great, the food and the service outstanding. We would go back to any and all of them!

We thoroughly enjoyed Shindzela and wished we had there stayed longer! Their guides and trackers were fantastic, as was the food and tented accommodations. We had great game drives there, with lots of sightings. I would highly recommend the camp to anyone who wants a true down-to-earth, but comfortable bush experience. We are already talking about going back some day!

Of course I must mention our time in Kruger with Simon, what a character! We had such fun with him, and were so impressed with his knowledge of all things wild. We saw so much wildlife, and it was so great how we were able to learn so much about birds and everything else. He must be one of the best guides in the park! The food was also great - he was so well prepared and we enjoyed all of it. A huge huge thanks to shoeless Simon! We really got a kick out of him.

Notten's was also wonderful, the food was just outstanding, they just keep it coming. We had some exceptional wildlife viewing there, including a pair of mating leopards up close on our final game drive!!

All of the transfer drivers were great - on time, and super knowledgeable.

We absolutely loved our time with Shawn in Cape Town as well. He is a fantastic host and guide, and really made the most of our time in the area. He was really laid back but also gave us great options for each day, and advice, based on the weather etc. He even made special surprise arrangements for us to tour a old fire station in Cape Town as a surprise for my sister (she is a firefighter at home) - just based on listening to us! Again, I would recommend him to anyone, he's a genuinely lovely guy.

Thanks again to both you and Simon for a wonderful experience. Also please pass this note onto Simon. Thanks!!! I will be calling you for my next trip to Africa - which hope isn't too long from now!!

Cheers,

Amy, Laura & Mike
