Zambezi Safari Testimonials

Hi Chris,

Hope you are well and back from a successful trip to Durban.

We got back a couple of days ago after a brilliant time in Paris, Venice, Tuscany and London - great weather wherever we went and far too much good food and wine. It was all such a contrast to Gabon, but I can assure you, we are already boring the living daylights out of everyone about our amazing holiday!

We have started sorting photos and on first glance, I hope you can trump us, as we have too many less-than-perfect ones. But will make sure we send you the better ones.

Again, thanks for all your tremendous organisation and for your company - it really was a trip to remember. And hopefully another one to somewhere as exotic will be on the cards in the next year or three. Oh by the way, my sister is very keen to go sometime - in spite of my crowing about the black guinea-fowl (which is already causing others to roll their eyes!)

Hope business going well.

All the best,

Mike and Sue

Hi Chris,
 
We did indeed have a most amazing adventure and unique experience. We feel so privileged to have had this opportunity of seeing and living in, albeit for a short period of time, what must be one of Africa's greatest wildernesses- Botswana! As I spend time now reflecting on what we have experienced, I find it so difficult put into words how I feel and and tell others about our safari. As you know, photographs, although wonderful to have, can only show limited images. They cannot show the beauty of the stars in the African night sky, the simple joy of chatting around the campfire after watching the most spectacular sunsets, or the wonderful sounds of the bush, from the rumbling of elephant and roaring of lion close by to the beautiful sound of a scops owl perched in a nearby tree. It is also difficult to express the excitement of knowing that lions had passed through the camp during the night and seeing their tracks close to your tent!

I am sure that this will not be our last trip to Africa. As someone said to me - it gets under your skin! Indeed leaving Botswana, in particular, was very emotiional for me. 

Finally, thank you for lending me you camera batteries etc which I will return in th next week or so. Unfortunately, I had a camera problem in Savuti which meant that I was unable to use it for the last few days, but we did have back up cameras and Joe also took photos for me and transfered them to disk in Kasane.
 
Kind Regards
Annette

Good morning Julian. I want to thank you for the awesome safari experience you put together for Vanessa and me. The whole experience far exceeded our expectations and have been spreading the word to everyone who asks about our trip. It was a shame we never met - but came so close! Thank you again Julian, hope we do business again, please put me in your contacts list to follow up occasionally, right now I don't plan a trip but in the near future you never know!

They were all so charming and the staff unbelievably good at providing a 'pampered' experience. Loved it.

Trish,

I just wanted to drop you a short e-mail to let you know that you
have a star employee in Jackie Pearson. I expect that you already
know that - certainly the bio on the website hints at that.

Jackie has worked with me over the last three weeks to put together
a trip to Zambia. She has quickly understood what I am looking for
and the things that are a priority for me while pointing me in the
direction of useful information and contacts. She is available well
outside normal working hours - has been easy to contact and always
follows up requests promptly. She is a delight to work with - I
would hire her to run my office!

I would just like to say I am grateful - hope the company does
well. I am very much looking forward to the trip at the end of November.

Kind regards,

Jem (Rashbass)
