"But when, fifty years from now, a lion walks into the red dawn and roars resoundingly,
It will mean something to people and quicken their hearts whether they are Africans or Europeans, Or whether they speak English, German, Russian or Swahili. They will stand in quiet awe as, for the first time in their lives, They watch twenty thousand zebras wander across the endless plains." Bernhard Grzimek, 1959  | Memories, expereinces, connections of the heart cannot be expressed through the written word. Perhaps this is why the Bushman never established a written language. We are forever grateful for you and your shared knowledge of africa and its people. It is when we journey home that the world seems all too big - Patti Your warmth, knowledge and enthusiasm makes our visits unforgetable. You truely make the trip an adventure that no one else could. On safari you are part of our clan which is very special to us all. We look forward to seeing and hearing from you soon, otherwise watch out for us in 2010!! - Carl Thank you it was so much fun.

 | Thank you, thank you! The safari was wonderful! It was one of the most memorable trips I have ever taken. I also have to mention how incredible you are. Julie you really know the bush. You know the ecology of the land and taught me not just the names, but explained the adaptations of the plants and animals. Your spotting ability for animals and birds was remarkable.

There are few words that could describe our trip of a lifetime- a dream come true. Far exceeded every imaginable expectation. My introduction to bird watching will only be surpassed by bathing with the elephants at the Hide. Thank you for everything. The time spent walking with buffalo was great, thank you.

I have to say I don't think I have ever met anyone with as much strength, spirit and determination to get where they want to be - you're an inspiration. And I really want to say an enormous thank you to everyone but in particular you. You seem to have no limits to ensure we tourists have the best safari, but not only that we tourists felt actually felt like your good friends - thank you for that.

 | Seeing Africa through your eyes has been a gift, a gift you gave to me, and one I gave, by serendipity, to myself. I shall add choosing to see Africa with the Rhino Girl to my list of "best life decisions I've made". I particularly enjoyed the "music" of Mana Pools, the lovely rituals at The Hides, but perhaps most of all having the chance to hear about your personal philosophy of managing wild life and wild places. Perhaps the great bwana in the sky did not break the mold when he made you Julie ? if not then the future of Africa and her magnificent creatures are in good hands. I'm deeply grateful to you both for your stellar leadership that has given me an experience I will not soon forget. It has been a privilege to see Africa through your eyes and spirits.

 | Thank you for making my first ever time on safari such an amazing experience. I loved it. This was a fantastic introduction to safari life. I don't think I could have wished for better. I really appreciated the way you are with the animals and the nature around you. You managed to make me feel part of the whole game of nature, it made me feel like I did as a kid, excited by my surroundings. I love that feeling, so thank you. I'm very impressed by your extensive knowledge of the natural world. Most importantly of all you made it fun. Hope to be back.

As I sit at dinner - you were great, not only in your knowledge of animals, birds, flora and fauna, Africa - but of your understanding and patience with your novice safarians - thank you for this wonderful experience and privilege of knowing you and Africa.

Everything in the itinerary was well chosen - the beautiful Victoria Falls, our first site of the elephants, The Hides, and our final location here in Botswana Thank you for the walks and guidance and sharing of all your knowledge. And thank you for your caring attitude towards us as well as the animals and nature in general.

To the best guide in Zimbabwe, plenty of people and more animals daily. Rain, grass, ...oh we wish we were with you. We had such fun and admiration for you and all your knowledge was only surpassed by the scenery.
- Colorado, USA |
 | Thank you for being our guide when we went into the bush with all the carnivors which could have eaten us like we were nothing. But you protected us and I will always be thankful for what you taught us on this trip. For the way that we were taught about the wildlife and vegetation. It was a great trip and I will always remember it.

What a privilege to have finally met you. You are charming and have an amazing understanding of the bush. I felt honored to be guided by you. I still want that pangolin though! I look forward to many more trips into the bush. With respect and affection and gratitude.
