    I just want to thank you for a fabulous trip! You were particularly helpful with my pre and post- trip arrangements with alternative suggestions of local tours and optimal places to stay. The lodges were wonderfully varied to give us different experiences and habitats. It is nice to be sheparded occasionally through new airports and countries, although the challenge for a single gal helps keep the mind going too!

    ... Botswana made a terrific difference to the whole experience....

    In sum, I loved it all.
