THANK YOU AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING.  YOU’VE LEFT US WITH AN INDELIBLE IMPRESSION.

Gelle, We can’t thank you enough for creating such a personalized and unforgettable experience for us.  From your selection of diverse game camps, culturally-rich accommodations, and guides that melded with us perfectly, you did a remarkable job of understanding our individual and collective interests and style.

YOU ORCHESTRATED A MAGNIFICENT ITINERARY FOR US, PROVIDING LUXURY, ADVENTURE, DIVERSE ACTIVITIES AND VENUES.

Hello Gelle!!! I apologize for being slow in responding and in thanking you. I returned home to a rather hectic week after being gone for so long. I feel very fortunate indeed to have participated in the Linda/Lynn/Mary Beth African Adventure. I considered my last visit to that part of the world, 17 years ago, to be one of my very favorite trips and can scarcely believe my good fortune in being able to visit southern Africa again.

KENYA AND GORILLAS ADVENTURE -MASAI MARA WAS INCREDIBLE AND THE GORILLA EXPERIENCE OUTSTANDING

Good morning, I have finished the tour and i had a wonderful time !  Massai Mara park was incredible and we were incredibly lucky , we saw a lioness take down a wilderbeest, and the Gorila experience was outstanding ! We had a juvenile silver back barreled thru our group and send two of us flying thru the air, it doesn't get much closer an encounter than that !!

EVERYTHING WAS WONDERFUL AND ALL THE TRANSFERS WORKED LIKE MAGIC!

Dear Gelle, We all arrived home safely on Friday after the very long journey back from Zambia via Johannesburg. Gelle, everything was wonderful and all the transfers worked like magic! We had a fabulous few days at Jock's Safari Camp, the highlight being following a pride...
