Kenneth,

 

I had an absolutely wonderful safari and want to say thanks for arranging it.  The guides, Chris in Kenya and Enock in Tanzania, were great.  They could spot game at a distance and hidden in the grass, trees and bushes.  They were very knowledgeable about the animals, plants, birds, and country.  Thank you for a marvelous vacation.

 

Jambo Kenneth,

Laurie McLeod here. I told you I would let you know how our Kenya Classic Safari went when Dave and I returned home. Well...I can hardly begin to describe to you what a fantastic time we had! First of all,everything went without a hitch. >From the time we left home to the time we returned went like clockwork. Our tour van mates and us hit it off brilliantly from the start. The four of them are from London and we will keep in touch. In fact,they've all invited us to visit at their homes and show us the city. We're thinking maybe next spring or fall. Our driver/guide from Pollman's,Stephen Nduguta,gave us the best ever service. What a kind and knowledgeable man he is. We all grew to love him. We saw the "The Big Five" and so much more. Stephen took us to the Masai village near Masai Mara Sopa Lodge. What an experience! The children are great. They all clamor around and want to touch,dance and shake your hand. They're so engaging and irresistible. The food was fabulous! They fed us like royalty and I know I gained five pounds. Dave,of course,only gained two. Everyday after a wildlife drive we six would head to the bar for a much needed Tusker or double gin and tonic. The lodges are beautiful. So unique,comfortable and clean. The staff service at Pollman's and all the lodges is excellent. Ready and waiting to do whatever is needed to make your stay perfect. I could go on and on but I hope from reading this e-mail you will know that our trip was everything you said it would be. Thanks again to 2afrika, and all the staff at all the lodges,shops and restaurants for making our Kenya Classic Safari a trip of a lifetime!    Best Regards,  
Laurie and Dave

We recently returned from your PULA Botswana safari in April and were impressed by the good service, friendly, and welcoming people that we experienced throughout our stay. The lodge was very lovely; I particularly appreciated the big bath tub and comfortable bed.  We were fortunate to have "Lucky" for our guide and he lived up to his name for we had some sightings rare to the area like wild dogs, ostrich, sable antelope and kudu.  There was no shortage of elephant, giraffe, hippos, impala, kudu and crocs.  One can never see enough of the cats but we did get to see seven lions, one dominant male up close, and two hunting leopards plus all the birds, monkeys, etc.  As you may gather, the six days were chucked full of experiences including a variety of weather.  We got caught out in a deluge while shopping and again a van was sent to rescue us.  I thought the whole trip was a successful African adventure...time and money well 
spent.  

Thank you for your part in bringing it together.

 Hi Kenneth, We are doing very well.  Every day at least once we make a toast to you!  We have been having a great time with no glitches!! The safari was perfect.  Just enough time in each place and the accomodations have been great.  We have been on the move.  I will call you when I get home. Thanks again for all your perfect planning.

 Dear Folks,   Thank you so much for your help with our epic journey to Africa!  My Uthando Day was by far my favorite day there.   Once I started showing folks pictures, more people were excited about the Christmas Donation idea, and we should be able to scrape up another $250.00 for Constance and the kids by Christmas.  James - just let me know the best way to get the money to you!   I'm still a little jet-lagged and buried by laundry and work to catch up - but it's a very happy mess.  I've been trying to put the experience into words for people for a few days, and still can't do it justice . . . . .

Have a blessed New Year!   Cath & Crew 

Dear Kenneth,

Just a quick note to tell you we had a fantastic time on our EAST AFRICAN EXPLORER. Everything went without a glitch, and all of the lodges were wonderful, as was the service and food at every one.

Our guide Moudy on safaris was a kind, quiet and knowledgeable man with a great sense of humor We saw hundreds of animals, including the ‘Big Five’.
Our safari mates, Amber and Mark were a blast! When I found out they were cops, I thought they'd be a bit stodgy, but they were great fun, loved their cocktails (as we all do), and we'll probably keep in touch with them.

Anyway, thanks so much for all of your good work, and when I get a chance, I'm going to post a nice review for 2Afrika on Trip Advisor (when I do, I'll send you the link).

Yours sincerely,
Scott, Anthony and Katie – Providence  

Dear Kenneth:  

Michael and I are now back home in Canada arriving at 7 pm last night.   I want to take the opportunity to thank you for your work at putting our trip to Zimbabwe and Botswana together.   We had a seamless itinerary with incredibly efficient transfers. Ilala lodge at Victoria Falls was very beautiful and we would highly recommend it to other travelers. We enjoyed a sundowner cruise on the Zambezi River (free drinks and appetizers) and a walk around Victoria falls with a guide (excellent). We added a full day rafting on the Zambezi which was awesome.... again highly recommended.   Our transfer to Botswana was very easy and we LOVED Elephant Valley Camp. Wow!!The food and accommodations were amazing and we had a tent facing the watering hole just in front of the camp. Their pool was also very nice. We did two game drives (in Chobe) and a Boat Cruise on the Chobe river.   The transfer to Pom-Pom Camp was a lot of fun - via Moremi air - our pilot transferred us in our "private" plane and we even landed twice before making it to Pom-Pom.He even did a low fly by over the Chobe River where there was a HUGE herd of elephants....   Pom-Pom was an absolute surprise....... we were greeted at the camp by 5 women singing a "welcome" song in their own language.... all in harmony.....we had a light lunch, a lie by the pool (is was 38 degrees) and then tea, followed by an evening game drive, complete with a sundowner in the park......We saw many lions and birds on this drive.......On our second day there, we had a Mekoro ride and learned a lot about the delta by a very experienced guide..... we had a nice break afterwards and then another awesome evening drive....   Our transfer back to Kasane was smooth (even though our aircraft lost electrical power and the pilot had to hand "pump" down the landing gear (this was Delta Air..... it seemed that Moremi hadmore well maintained and larger aircraft fleet FYI). We had a bit of a rush through Zimbabwe border - our rep took our passports and visa fees and went to the front of a long line for us to expedite this transfer. We made it with plenty of time to the Victoria Falls airport and had an uneventful trip home.   We intend on contacting you for future travel to Africa. 

Thanks again,

Hi Ken,  

I just wanted to drop you a quick note. My wife and I have now returned from   our "Season of Plenty" trip to Botswana/Namibia/Zimbabwe and one night in South Africa.We had a great time and met many interesting and wonderful people, and loved the Chobe Safari Lodge as well as the Safari Club in Joburg.Everything worked out very well and the only problem was that we had to return from our trip!The only change we made to the planned itinerary was we upgraded our last Boat Safari from a group trip to a 3 hour   private one so that we could see only the things that we wanted to focus on and it was an incredible excursion.We will definitely be using your services again in the future.

Regards,   Ron 

Michael and I wanted to take a moment to thank you for our wonderful trip to Kenya. We just returned from the "Kenya Classic" safari.
The game sighting was superlative, the accommodations lovely and fun, and the food abundant and tasty. The trip far outstripped our wildest expectations, and we cannot wait for your 2010 tours! You really do a spectacular job at a spectacular price, and are to be commended on bringing the wonders of Africa to us. With sincere thanks 2afrika.

I am back from my Kenya, Southern Africa, and recently Europe, so I wanted to send you a note to tell you how it was. In a word, it was FABULOUS!!!!! I had a great time. The folks in Kenya were truly wonderful. We loved each and every place we stayed, the game drives were great, and the food was to die for. You were right that you gain weight, because I certainly did. Overall Kenya was a beautiful country and a great trip. A great way to see Africa if you do not have a lot of time, which I think will work great for some of my friends.
I want to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for putting this trip together for me 2afrika and for enduring the hassles with the airfare upgrade. Everything went off without a hitch. I'll keep checking you website for new and fabulous trips because this is one place I'll return to.
Thanks again for everything.
