Dear Petru,

Very many thanks for all your arrangements. All was smooth.

Johannesburg guide was very talkative and cautious, but it was very special going to Soweto on the anniversary of the Soweto uprising. The whole place was buzzing.

Falcon in Zimbabwe were very professional and we did the helicopter trip through them, and very good it was too. The Victoria Falls Safari Club was grand, but if I ever return I will try for the Victoria Falls Hotel! The guide for the village tour and the Falls walk was again talkative and opinionated, but pleasant enough. The booze cruise was tremendous, partly due to it being a quite small boat, so we the chance to interact with many others, and the booze was suitably quaffable.

Transfer to Botswana very smooth and we were handed over to another company at the border, enjoying an off road trip to the Elephant Valley Lodge with a very amusing driver. Elephant Valley was just what I wanted, our guide for the trips was great, and for our trip on the Chobe River, we were the only two on the boat. That was very special. The manager at Elephant Valley Lodge clearly wanted us to join him and his wife at the bar after dinner, but the four guests were frozen after the evening outdoor meal and could not linger as the electric blankets were calling. We passed on the last morning’s activities and just stayed in the camp before transfer to Kasane Airport.

Mr. Corey Mak, who was with me, is on Facebook and he has looked at your company’s page. What kind of pics would you like posted there?

Appreciatively yours,
Esmonde
