Hi Clare,

Thank you so much for helping us plan a trip of a lifetime!! Every aspect of this trip was extraordinary!!! The details were impeccable!!

Each driver we had was so kind and helpful. Our driver, Ryan, who picked us up and drove us on our wine tour, was friendly, engaging and an excellent driver. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with him!

Ohhhh, and Arathusa ❤️❤️❤️ was a beautiful lodge, we did get a water-facing suite which we were very excited about, excellent service, friendly staff, great food and entertainment. Our guide, Debeer, and tracker, Ishmael, were just the best, very knowledgeable and fun! We saw The Big 5 and soooo much more, including a honey badger and a pack of African Wild Dog puppies!! I had an awesome massage with Winnie; she is a gem of a person, and we loved hearing story time from sweet Ronnie, who was very attentive to our needs at every meal. The first day we arrived a bit late for our safari drive, but Amen had made us some delicious sandwiches and brought them to our room with two bottles of wine; we really appreciated his kindness. One morning after our game drive, the staff had a beautiful breakfast set up out in an opening in the bush. It was beautiful to ride up to this incredible site! So very special! We just can't say enough great things about Arathusa!

The Commodore Hotel was charming; we really enjoyed the view and location. Staff were friendly and the breakfast was always good! It was a good hotel choice for us! We booked a couple of tours on our own through Viator, which worked out very nicely.

Thank you again, Clare, for planning this awesome trip for us! We highly recommend you and Wild Wings Safaris! Excellent job!
