Safari Blog

Brett,

My safari exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived I was gleefully happy and the smile on my face never left until the day I had to leave. The surroundings were beautiful and the architecture of the buildings blended perfectly within the reserve. It was unpretentious but very classy. The staff was very accommodating, pleasant and polite. I loved my room and the open-beam structural design of the chalet. Sitting on the deck while drinking a glass of wine I watched the nyala and wart hogs roam freely and it was a great and relaxing experience. I will never forget the sweet smell in the mornings.

Our game drives were fun and extremely informative. I never knew one person (our ranger Brett) could keep so much knowledge of plants and animals in his head and be able to recall it at any moment; it was quite impressive. The intimate feeling of the lodge was especially nice. By the 3rd day it was just me and Kris. We did see everything we wanted to and more. There was even a dung beetle outside our chalet rolling up dung. So I could go on and on but you already know the wonders of being on safari. I will return one day in the near future and I will go back to Idube.

I want to especially thank you for getting accommodations for Kris at the last moment and for also getting me out of the reserve via plane. After witnessing the drive going up, I wanted nothing to do with driving back to Jo’burg by myself. Next time I will stay longer.

Also, I was wondering if you could help me get in contact with one of the rangers at the lodge. I need to relay some information about the Florida Keys to him and do not have a contact email.

Again I thank you for your assistance, recommendations, and professionalism.
