Our friends, who have been here, warmly recommended your place because of the very kind, generous and relaxed atmosphere here and for the great safari trips. We can sure agree with this! Sitting under the stars having superb dinners together, having all the interesting discussions from which we have gained a lot of knowledge about the wildlife, culture and history in Africa have we appreciated a lot! The safaris have been fantastic and with a lots of nice chats and good laughs!! Thanks again for your great hospitality and your ability to make us feel comfortable here! You can count on that you will have to extend the lodge after we've gone back to Sweden and started spreading the reputations of Bushwise in Scandanavia!! We will do our best!"

"We are so grateful for the way you helped
us after our accident. Tim, thank you so
much for picking us up and waiting at the
hospital for all those hours. Also the talks
and fire and the chicken were great! And
Donna, thank you so much for being so sweet
and giving us everything we needed. You were
always there for us. We can't describe our
gratitude! Also the lodge is great and all
the animals too and we had a real African
feeling and we really got some rest! Thank
you very much." "Getting involved in a very nasty car accident while your on holiday in SA is something you don't expect. Being taken care of afterwards by two great people like Tim and Donna turned out to be an even bigger surprise; a pleasant one this time! They were like Mom and Dad to us. We initially booked for just one night, we did extend that to 3 nights. If we would have more time we would have spent at least a week or more. Wanna taste the real African feel? Go Bushwise Safaris Lodge!" |
