Warm and sincere thanks to all the staff that saw to our comfort with safe, secure, and marvelously comfortable accommodations. Extra warm blankets on drives, hot water bottles in the beds at night!!! Innocent, who made sure we were well looked after and instructed us in the animal schedule for the trek to the watering hole; and Sam and Bright who saw to it we were never going hungry!

Every city, region, state, and country is defined by its culinary offerings and without a doubt, South Africa and Zimbabwe are well represented. To any foodie, you will understand when we say it was like the best food you have ever encountered but taken up another notch—like super food on steroids!!! The flavors, variety, textures, presentation were consistently five-star ratings.

Thank you to all these folks, including Trista and Alexis, seems wholly inadequate. This was, for us, a once in a lifetime trip and one we will never forget the encounters, people we met, and sights we saw.
