Into The Wild

What do you get when you cross 5 travellers from the 4 corners of the world with a safari in the wild?

-->Best mates!





On tour this month were Anne Larkin (pictured, left) & support worker Moira Lipshaw (repeat offender Sept. 2005 tour), who are both from New Zealand, Anna Jackson from the UK (pictured, right), and Drew & Mary Arnold from the US.

Happenings on tour:

This tour provided hundreds of photo opportunities with our travellers hardly able to put their cameras down! We spotted and got up-close to leopard, buffalo, lion, as well as bushbuck, dassies which ate out of Anne's hand, warthog, zebra, elephant, giraffe and hundreds more. We also got to see our beloved Jessica the hippo and Savannah the cheetah once again.

Anna & the group went to meet the caracal in the rehabilitation program:



"It is difficult to describe the feeling it brings for someone who had only dreamed of going to Africa. The smiles just got bigger and bigger.” - Moira

Anne and Moira continued on to Cape Town where they were treated to luxury accommodation at The Blue Tangerine while they enjoyed day tours with Epic Enabled and did a few excursions of their own...

It was a pleasure to meet you all and trust that you had a marvellous time! We know we will see you again...

Welcome on tour family Van't Sant!

Jessica meets Roan

Paul, Roan & Gea with Savannah

“It’s been a week now since we left South Africa. Roan’s back to school and we’re working again. We would like to thank you for making it possible for us to do this great trip. The Kruger tour was absolutely fantastic and we enjoyed every minute of it. We miss the morning game drive’s, breakfast outside, spotting the game (oink, oink) and the fun we had. The help and care from you and your sister was just great, it made the trip a real vacation for us all. Walking with Aquila, touching Savannah and feeding Jessica was an unforgettable experience. You picked the right places to stay and the best spots to go to.”

– Paul van’t Sant

8 Day Kruger tour 16 -23 August: this time it was Sabine’s turn to go on tour - she took Paul, Gea and their son Roan (The Netherlands) through the KrugerPark accompanied by her sister from Switzerland who was also visiting. They make a good team! :)

Paul, Gea & Roan then joined us in Cape Town for the Cape Town highlights leg of their tour.

Thank you Paul, Gea & Roan for such a lovely time...
