Our holiday has been absolutely amazing. You have done a wonderful job at organizing it all. We loved all of it, especially Idle and Wild, the private game reserve and Kruger Park. Foresters Arms was also wonderful. The accomodations were all very good. We saw the Big 5 both in the private reserve and in Kruger National Park. We saw so much more than the Big 5, wonderful birds etc. St Lucia was also very good. We missed the whale watching due to windy weather but saw the crocs and hippos on the river. Thank you so much for your support. As soon as I had spoken with you I felt confident that you would organize it all very well. If I can help you with anything please let me know. We would all go back to South Africa tomorrow....

Got back from our Africa trip last week and just wanted to say thanks for everything. We had the most fabulous holiday � which even exceeded our expectations. All of the accommodation was great. Darryl and Chrissie at Idle and Wild were very welcoming and helpful. And Jackalberry was wonderful! Your other recommendations such as Dyer Island cruises and the Shangana Cultural evening were all good too. In terms of Wildlife - we saw far more than we expected to and were completely knocked out by both Thornybush and the Kruger Park. After the wonderful safaris with Dave and Lawrence at Jackalberry in which we had amazing sightings of all of the cats and the rest of the big five � we were a bit worried that our self-drive safari might be a bit of an anti-climax � but we couldn�t believe how bursting with wildlife the Kruger is. We saw a lioness with two cubs on our first night, elephants bathing, and one evening at the magic sunset hour we drove across a plain at the top of the Capricorn loop that was just teeming with zebras, buffalo, ostriches, all kinds of game and elephants too. I wouldn�t say that Mopani is the best maintained of the rest-camps (we visited a few others) � but that�s not a criticism, as we enjoyed ourselves there and were grateful to have found accommodation at such short notice. And watching the hippos and crocs with a drink in hand from the restaurant terrace was lovely. Now we have the Africa bug � we�d like to visit Botswana. Any chance that you might cover that area soon? We will certainly recommend you.

Tracey... I would have to say it was probably one of the best holidays I have been on, thank you so much for all of your help. Idle & Wild in Hazyview was probably our favourite place. Christie, was fantastic, she really made our holiday for us. The accommodation was flawless, the breakfast was perfect, the surroundings were beautiful. Thanks Tracey, I would definitely recommend Travel Butlers to my friends.
