Bakubung Bush Lodge

Hi Desiree,

A quick note to say thank you so much for your outstanding service.
Our family had a magical weekend away at Bakubang and can’t wait to go back again.

Your rates, friendly service and quick response time was above all other services contacted when investigating our bush holiday.
We have already passed on your details to family and friends.

Kind regards,

Jenn

Nambiti Plains Safari Lodge

Hi Hayley,
Trust you are well.
I can confirm /...... / Just a note to say, Thank you so much for your help in this process.

Your assistance has made a huge difference and contributed significantly to us securing the booking because we have always dealt with **** in the past - Thank you for being so amazing throughout the process!!
I would say from the very initial interaction with you, Hayley, the entire process was efficient, you were knowledgeable and shared your expertise - an absolute pleasure to liaise with - thank you so much.

The pricing from Southern Routes was actually what made me reach out to the agency. It really helps that the agent was amazing, rendering the process thus far, a remarkable one!!
If Southern Routes continues to price competitively, I have no doubt that they will gain market share in a highly competitive market.
Please don't forget to share the period when Phinda has the specials during off peak season and targeted at locals.

Regards,

Nerisha

Safari Plains Lodge

I just wanted to reach out and say thank you - everything went off without a hitch and the staff at Safari Plains went above and beyond expectations to make it an amazing experience.

Mongena Game Lodge, Dinokeng

Hi Bianca
We have been back from our trip for a couple of weeks now but already reminiscing about the fantastic time we had. Thank you for arranging the accommodation at Mongena Lodge, it was a brilliant experience and we loved every aspect of it!

If there’s a mailing list I could be added to, I’d love to hear about news and offers, as we definitely want to come back to South Africa. We tend go travel on standby flights and are therefore more reliant on last minute deals.

Thank you again so much!
All the best,
Karin

Good Morning Hayley
Thank you kindly.

Thanks for your assistance with this booking.
We had the most amazing time. The staff are friendly and devoted. The game ranger knowledgable and went the extra mile.

They had chocolate cake when we took a tea break on our morning game drive on my husbands birthday(Saturday).
Thereafter they had a champagne surprise...the lodge really went over and beyond to make our stay and his birthday memorable.

I will not hesitate to recommend the place and will go back in a heart beat.
Thank you yet again for your assistance.

Mabula and Clifftop Lodge, Waterberg/ Welgevonden

Hi Bianca
Good to speak last week. Here’s some feedback on our trip:

- Transfers: very happy we had Anes again as our driver when arriving in Johannesburg. Very punctual, reliable and professional on all three legs.

- Mabula: very good experience overall. Accommodation and food all good (although some of the first night BBQ chicken was undercooked) and horse safari and game drives excellent once more (JP our game ranger was fantastic)

- Clifftop: lodge, Welgevonden Reserve and overall experience was fantastic. Super, warm, attentive and enthusiastic service all round (host Tanya, butlers Opou and Nattie and game-ranger Jean were fantastic). Food and drinks excellent. Wonderful place for a couple wanting to be looked after very well in intimate luxury accomodation with stunning views and awesome game.

Thanks for putting together a fantastic itinerary so seamlessly again. We’re already thinking about our next visit to Africa so may be in touch with you again soon!

Best regards

David Livingstone Hotel, Victoria Falls, Zambia

Hi Charmaine
I trust this finds you well!
I just wanted to give you an update on our trip to Vic Falls (AHA David Livingstone Lodge).... wow wow wow... what a stunning trip we had, I think I put on 5kg with all the food and drink... what a stunning hotel from atmosphere, to hospitality, to AMAZING food and beverage!! Thank you thank yo thank you well worth every cent!
We took a trip up to 'Elephant Cafe' by speedboat and had interaction with rehabilitated elephants and then lunch on the banks of the 'Great Zambezi' quite spectacular!! (A place called Elephant Cafe... they picked us up by speedboat and after lunch took us back to the hotel) something nice to tell future visitors as it has only been open 18 months...
Kevin my brother-in-law who is a very well travelled gentleman said he has never eaten better hotel food than he did at AHA Livingstone Lodge... quite a compliment.
Thank you again for your assistance with the trip it was really really awesome!
Take care, and I will sure to be in touch if there is somewhere else we would like to travel (I may do Zanzibar again sometime... lol or Mauritius... lol)

Warmest regards

Hi Mellissa Thanks for this. Please can you pass on to Rove: They should not mail to clients, huge colour pictures on every attachment as part of the travel documents that has to be printed. It wastes a considerable amount of ink, and, think about the environment. Why waste.

But thanks for your excellent service, you have been exceptional, organising the whole trip for us in just two days! Thanks again

To Dear Alison, Tanya & Hayley
Thank you! Thank you! We had the most wonderful time away at Cathedral Peak and what the manager Bruce did for us by upgrading us was most unexpected and the sweetest thing anyone at any establishment has done for us. What an incredible and special privilege.

Thank you so very much for the recommendation and for arranging everything, it so very appreciated!

Till the next time!
Take Care

David Livingstone Resort and Spa: Zambia, Victoria Falls

Hi Nicky
I have been meaning to sit down and email you for the last two weeks but life has been hectic since the term started again.
On behalf of my family and myself we would like to thank you for the most wonderful and well organised trip to the falls. The hotel, food and Wild travel was beyond our expectation with everything being on time, classy and enjoyable.
We had an awsesome time, with my adrenalin junkies being able to white water raft while Granny (me) sensibly keeping my feet on terraferma by looking after little Matthew for the day.

The touch by the hotel with a special bottle of champagne for our 30 year anniversary as well as welcome eats in our room was very special, thanks to your organisation.
We would all repeat this trip in a heartbeat. It was so special to have all my family with me on this trip as it is not easy to co-ordinate everybodies lives at once.
Mike and I look forward to going on another trip in the near future and we would love you to email us the options in our immediate neighbouring countries such as Namibia, Botswana etc.

Once again Many thanks
Regards
Dee McDuling
