Driving through Swaziland was absolutely marvelous, the stay at the Foresters Arms an exquisite experience and we went to all the places the people at the hotel recommended (the cultural centre for the dances, the batik shop where we bought beautiful stuff, and the House on Fire - this amazing place gave us the opportunity to take very special pictures!!).

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....
