Hi Richard and Amanda!

It has been a couple of days ago that we had our great adventure with you and Robbie.

Now we know that the 2 days we were on safari, was much too short!

But in those two days we learned so much more about nature and South Africa, you are a "walking encyclopedia"!

Thanks for your kindness, jokes and the good care of my mom after her fall.

We know for sure that if we can come back to Africa, it will definatly be a long trip with your advice to...who knows!

Thanks for everything and we looking forward to see you again!

Martijn, Marinda and the rest of the family! (Henk, Rita, Jeroen, Bernell)

Hi Amanda

I hope that you are well and that you had a good festive season. We had a wonderful wedding on Fri 18 Dec and then had a wonderful trip to Flamingo Bay. We stayed in one of the end units and it exceeded all our expectations with wonderful service, food and a truly memorable experience.

Thanks again for all that you did to make it run so smoothly.

Take care and all the best for 2010. I will be in touch to plan our next trip to Mozambique.

Dear Richard and Mandy,

Where do I start? Thank you so much for this amazing trip to Botswana. It was put together in a matter of days and quite honestly it couldn’t have been done any better if it had been a year in the planning!

The whole trip was unforgettable, the boys, Nick 16 and Jack 14 thoroughly enjoyed it and just loved Richards warped sense of humour!! There wasn’t one thing that was better than anything else, the flight over the Delta was breathtaking, Kubu Island was ama zing and even getting stuck in the incredible Makgadikgadi Salt Pans was fun! It just added to the whole experience.

Camping was just brilliant and I am so pleased that we went with the canvas option and Rich, you cracking the whip and making the lads work as a team was great and I’m sure you’ll agree that by the last night we had got it down to a fine art, getting the paraffin lamps lit, fire stoked, tents sorted, dinner on and beer/wine/whisky in hand all in 20 mins – not bad eh?

Although the game wasn’t at its best it was still spectacular and we were thrilled to have seen wild dog. And to be able to sit for so long watching those elephants having such a fun time in the mud was just beautiful.  Even missing that elusive leopard didn’t stop us feeling thoroughly blessed to have seen those beautiful creatures in their own surroundings.   We have had some great albums done and look at them whenever we are having a bad, cold and boring day here in UK!!

Can’t wait until we can get back and see you both again!!

Keep in touch lots of love Tracey Nick and Jack xxxxx
