Starting with booking the trip, our Travel Planner, Susan Swanepoel was exceptional…we had no idea what we wanted other than going on Safari, so she made suggestions, but also listened to our questions and concerns. We ended up with exactly what we wanted and (with Susan’s guidance) were able to prepare ourselves appropriately in the months leading up to the trip. And during the trip, she continued to communicate with us, making sure everything was going as we hoped.
The trip itself was a wonderful experience, not only due to the great planning, but because of our amazing guide…Frank Mndolwa was with us for nearly 10 days as a skilled driver, spotter, and educator. He was able to show ALL the hoped-for animals, as well as ones we didn’t even know about! When we asked for information about birds and plants as well as the big mammals, he often had the answers, or (if not) would pull out his books and do his best to find them for us. He even helped us learn a little Swahili – we now consider him a friend and hope to see him again someday, at which time, we hope to know a little more Swahili 🙂
I could also go on and on about the people in the bush camps…to a one, they were friendly and helpful…we always felt like we were being well looked after. They were all so special.
We were already talking about “next time we go” on the plane home…whenever that “next time” comes up, we will definitely be turning to Discover Africa again. Thank you Susan and Frank (and everyone else) for giving us these wonderful memories!
