This week's special moment photo comes from Sandy Jenkyns who travelled with our second group in April this year. This is why Sandy chose this photo as a 'special moment'. "I really loved the animals and I have about 1000+ photos that are my favourites.....but I have to say that the people in our group and travelling with my cousin were really the special moments for me. My cousin and I had not had a lot of time together when we were growing up and we have recently reconnected. We really enjoyed our time together on this trip. Our group was so amazing - we all got along so well. And one of the biggest highlights for me was Dee and Ronnie and the relationship that they have built with all the suppliers and lodges".

Thank you Sandy for sharing this 'special moment'.

This weeks 'special moment' photo comes from Lynne & Steve Wheeler who travelled with us on our first trip this year. This is what they had to say about the photo:

"This is not our best picture but a special one as it brings back really good memories for us. We loved the end of the day sundowners in the bush. It was always a time for us to appreciate our experience and talk about what was special for that day.
Just before this pic was taken Steve and I were discussing how lucky we were to be in that place, at that moment, and that there was something magical about being in the bush at sunset. So for us, that is what this picture reminds us of".

"We are not sure where to start with our review after having had such an incredible trip. Prior to our Hosted Africa tour, we had never been on a group tour and were a bit apprehensive as to what to expect. It didn’t take us any time at all to realize, this was not a group tour, but a unique private tour with a bunch of new friends! Dee & Ronnie put together an itinerary that exposed us to so many aspects of Africa: the incredible culture, food, people, landscape, and wildlife. We loved the variety of activities and it seemed like they always had some special treat or event that just made our experience even more special on each leg of our trip. The safari camps were a highlight, with each camp offering top-notch service, food, and accommodations. Each camp also offered unique wildlife viewing, which was amazing! The trip was fantastic and our host’s passion for sharing their knowledge of South Africa so enhanced our experience. Thanks for being such amazing hosts, we had an absolute experience of a lifetime."

Thank you for such kind words, Lynne and Steve. We’re so grateful that you enjoyed your trip!

This weeks 'special moment' photo is from Marion Alexander, who toured with us on our first trip this year in April.

Read what Marion had to say about why she chose this 'special moment' photo: "I chose this one because it is so unusual to see a male and female together unless they are mating, and they look like we felt at the end of every busy day. Happy, well fed, entertained, and just content with the world".

Here is this week's 'SPECIAL MOMENT' photo sent in by Diane Soward, a guest on our second trip this year. This is what Diane had to say - "For me, a special moment has got to be the lions. I especially enjoyed seeing the 3 lion cubs following their mother". I must say the lion cubs on all 3 trips this year - when we were staying at Nottens Bush Camp - brought so much joy to our guests.

" This was a special moment for us because a) we were on our very first ever exciting safari, and b) because seeing the hippos, especially for the first time, was a big thrill for us".

Read the full review from Sandy 👇

“I just wanted to Thank You for the opportunity you gave Diane and myself to travel on your amazing adventure. I truly am still so in awe of the animals and places we saw and the people we met.

You have put together a wonderful itinerary – and I would not wish a change to anything. I loved that we got to see some sites in SA in between our amazing reserve stays. Our accommodations everywhere were perfect. What I enjoyed best about our stays were the staff and the people who did everything they could to make our stays exceptional – from the comfort, food, expert guides to the proximity to the reserves/sites.

I just cannot say enough about your guidance and the roles that you both play in making this such a fun trip … you are both so good at what you do. There is no doubt that the relationships that you have made have a very positive effect on the joy and service the staff showed us during our stays.”

Thank you for such kind words, Sandy. We’re so grateful that you enjoyed your trip!
