Reflections of our South African Adventure 2019

elephants drinking
November 14, 2019

Dear Cheryl, 

Our South African adventure may have started as one more place to check off on our bucket list but turned out to be a truly heart filled experience combining love of land, family, and service to others. Our most important decision was accepting the invitation from Guy and Maureen to be part of this experience. Without hesitation we signed up for what would turn out to be a glimpse of an affirmation of the human spirit, a love of the land, its people, and the daily struggle and sacrifice of many to make a living. The fifteen-hour plane ride could have deterred us as well as previous health issues, but as Dr. Van said, “Go live your life” and we did and did not look back.

5 Star Trip

November 13, 2013

Mary Ellen,
Here are some pictures from our trip - an amazing adventure.  We had a wonderful time and were very happy with the quality and value of all aspects of the trip.  Personally I was a bit skeptical that it really would be a "5 star" trip, but it was.

Many thanks to you and all the staff involved in the trip.

Smruti,

We had a fabulous vacation.   Our accommodations were wonderful and the food and service was over the top.  I now have a new perspective on the beautiful people of South Africa.  They were so open, welcoming, gracious and happy to have us in their country.
