“Now that we have been home for a couple of weeks and had a little time to reflect on our trip I wanted to send a note to say thank you to you both. Keith, we can’t thank you enough for referring us to the safari company. To the owners, the rest of the credit for our great experience goes to you and your team. It would be fair to say we had the time of our lives. Everything about the trip was absolutely first class. The lodging, food, people, hunting, etc all were about as good as you could have asked for. To do what you do where you do it is absolutely astounding. I can’t comprehend the logistics of feeding, housing, and pampering people the way you do in the wilds of Namibia. Add to that the first class hunting and you have an experience in a place that leaves you changed when you leave. I have made a habit over the years of keeping a journal on my hunts to look back and reflect on after the hunt is long past. I have read and watched and dreamed of hunting Africa for years and honestly I fully expected to love the experience when I left home. The hunting media, press, and broadcasting does a really good job in the US of showing Africa. I knew I was hooked, but as I shared with both of you this was the first time either Anne or Margaret had showed any interest in tagging along. They both left absolutely in love with the experience and the country and the people. I wrote in my journal the last night we were in Namibia, “I can’t express how much I appreciate bringing them to a place I loved when I left home and they loved when we went home”. The credit for that experience and memory goes to you both. Rudy was absolutely great with Margaret and all of us for that matter. He is the consummate professional. Simone was excellent also and as a team he and Rudy are perfect. Both have a great sense of humor, a great knowledge of the animals and country, and a genuine desire to make the hunters happy. No request was ignored and I can’t imagine anyone working harder to insure we had a great hunt. Brigette was also a joy in camp. The food, rooms etc. were all perfect and she works long hours each day to make sure it meets here high standards. Add to that the attention Annette and Alex showed to Margaret, showing up in camp when she killed her Zebra, having dinner with us on her birthday etc. truly made for a great trip.
The commitment this team has to the people that work to make the operation run is to be commended also. I made several comments complimenting the operation to Annette and Alex over the course of our trip and each time they insisted they could not do what they do without the staff they employ. This is a testimate to the operation as a whole. Understanding the efforts of all make the operation possible. The school was another big deal for us. I am on the local school board we are very involved in education locally and to see what can be done with very limited resources “in the wilds of Namibia” is touching. It would be very easy to take the money and do something else with it, and I am sure many outfitters do, but to commit to the local families that work for and with you to educate their children in such a professional setting is commendable and we left impressed with the results and touched by the effort.
We had a great trip and again thank you both for making these memories for our family!”
