We returned from our holiday this morning and just wanted to drop you a line and let you know we had a fab time (yet again!!). Chobe Game lodge was very impressive and the staff were unbelievable, they did a wonderful job in making Merlin's birthday very special and went to the effort of organising a very special dinner, bringing us a beautiful cake and having all the staff sing some traditional songs (and happy birthday of course). A great experience and thank you to you again for putting everything together. We did have a slight slip up at the Zambian border on our last day as the embassy had made an error and given my partner a double entry instead of multiple entry (and gave me multiple) which lead to a heated debate and the official became very confrontational and threatening. We didn't expect that at all to be honest and we'll be taking it up with the embassy. I know you do already but it's probably worth emphasising ten times over for your clients to check their on the correct visa so as to avoid such issues. The error was down to the embassy though, and us as well for not spotting the error. Thanks again and kind regards

3 nights Ashnil Samburu, 3 nights Mara Intrepids followed by 6 nights Neptune Pwani. The 2 Safari's were even better than our wildest dreams, we saw the big 5 and a lioness kill a Baboon for her 4 cubs. The leopards were wonderful, saw Olive the daughter of Bella of the Big Cat Diaries, she now has cubs of her own. The Ashnil and Intrepid camps were great, as were our Game Guides in both Reserves. The only problem we had was the Safarlink flights from Samburu to the Mara, we had paid for direct flights and they were changes, we had to fly back to Nairobi wait 3 hrs then fly to the Mara, a waste of a day. Zanzibar was a great experiance,but too hot for us oldies,temp at 39c with humidity of 90%. Both Kenya and Zanzibar people are so friendly and the service was excellent. Will return to Kenya for more Safari's Thank you Gemma. Best Wishes The Jewell's
