Our trip was absolutely perfect and my entire family has pestered me to contact you and thank you for how well you planned the trip for us. We loved the Elephant Valley lodge. They gave us the prime tents you had requested overlooking the watering hole. I told Sean the manager that based on the web site we would not have opted to stay there but we had based on your recommendation. He said they had renovated in the last year and they just hired a new marketing firm who is going to reshoot the lodge and do a new website. But the staff was great, we loved our guide, Obi, and it was a great location being just outside of the park. So I am happy that I followed your advice. All of the transfers went very smoothly with the guides meeting us at the planes, etc, and Xanakaxa was fantastic. I have never been anywhere as beautiful as the Okavango Delta. We had a great guide, Ngande, who managed to site things we would never have seen on our own. We followed a pride of lions as they closed in on a herd of buffalo and we saw them again with a male present the next day after the herd had left. We also saw a leopard and watched him make a kill which we later learned was a rare citing. We saw plenty of giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, impalas, kudus, bushbuks, waterbuks, baboons, warthogs, elephants, pekus, ostriches, fishing eagles, vervet monkeys, hippos, crocodiles and even several wild cats and a genet cat. So we were very pleased. Unfortunately, once we left for Africa, we were unreachable and my computer was not working there so we never received your email re the shark diving in Cape Town. When the driver arrived at 6am one morning, everyone was asleep and we did not realize the trip had been confirmed. So we did not go. But that was the only glitch and it was probably just as well since one of my sons is deathly afraid of sharks. I absolutely loved Africa Stephen and I can't wait to go back...Maybe next summer? I would like to see Kruger, Namibia and/or Kenya. Be sure that we will recommend your services to anyone we know who gets out that way. Thanks again.
