From: Lauren Hoines Good day Jeremy, I recently booked a trip to Hluluwe game reserve through your company and received excellent service from Lisa Trollip. Lisa was efficient, prompt, friendly and patient with my continuous request for information. Our booking and trip went off without a hitch and it was very refreshing to receive good quality service. I highly commend her work and ethic. Kind regards Lauren Poxon |

Name: Amanda Rennie Thanks again to Far and Wild Safaris and Nambiti Hills Private Game Lodge for the fantastic prize. I was very fortunate to see most of the Big Five with plenty other wildlife animals and got totally spoilt by a five star lodge. I'm really looking forward to going back sometime in the future.

Name: Ann Brown Morning Keith A belated thank you for booking our trip to Hilltop. All went smoothly, we really enjoyed our time there. The roads need some repair, lots of potholes, when driving one is looking at the road and not the bush! Many tourists in the park which was very nice to see.

Name: Stephen & Pepe Dear Keith, In Durban, apart from eating, our favourite activity, in Little Havana, Harvey's and tea at The Oyster Box which was quite overwhelming, we did little else. But we managed to go to the theatre and saw a great production of "Geeves and Wooster", which was hilarious, with a cast of three playing all the characters. The four days we spent in the Drakensberg Mountains were beautiful although exhausting to climb. We enjoyed the Champagne Castle very much. Both food and views were excellent, but if,and when we return we might go back to "The Drakensberg Sun". However,the highlight our our trip without doubt was The Kruger Park and game reserves. All thanks to you. Without your wealth of knowledge, guidance, patience and understanding, we would have missed so much. We cant thank you enough for being our guide,and mentor in so many ways. Hopefully we will see you again, either here in London, or South Africa. With our sincere good wishes, |

Name: Theresa Markowitz Hello Keith, Be well, |
Name: Geri & Jim Gould Dear Keith Jim and I just returned last night to the US from our amazing trip to Africa. We wanted you to know that of all the spectacular experiences we had, our safari at Arathusa was the highlight. We had very high hopes and expectations for the safari, and the Arathusa experience exceeded them all. Your help in planning this time, including the arrangements for transfer on both ends, certainly added to our satisfaction. Everything went off perfectly in terms of flights and transfers, and the lodge itself was just marvelous. We would definitely recommend it and you to our friends seeking information on safaris. Thank you again for all your efforts. We so appreciate them and you. Cordially, Geri and Jim Gould |

Name: Shafroth party I’m finally writing to thank you for your help with travel arrangements, recommendations, and for the time you spent with me in Durban on the first day of my KZN adventure. Everything went fine – only a couple of minor issues, which, fortunately didn’t end up being a problem (one was that the Imfolozi River had flooded the road into the park from the main entrance, so I ended up driving around through Nongoma and into the park from the Ulundi side; the second was a flat tire, which fortunately became evident only as I pulled into the Sodwana Bay Lodge, where they had a mechanic who patched the tire while I was diving the next day!). I didn’t see any big cats, but certainly plenty of other game. I had one good day of diving at Sodwana, but there was a lot of surge on the second day, and so we only did one dive. St. Lucia was great. Ndumo, nice and private, but a bit muddy as it had been raining! And, I really liked Ithala. So, it was a trip of a lifetime, and I owe some of that to you! Best regards, Patrick Shafroth |
| Name: Ariz party Date: 10th April 2009 Kruger Natrional park Safari Hi Keith, I am sorry it has taken me so long to write to you. Things have been quite hectic since returning but finally life has become slower and less busy. I do want to thank you for our wonderful trip. Both Terry and I had a very nice time and felt you were professional, friendly and a great tour guide. I enjoyed your stories and you worked so hard at having us see so many animals. My friends have been amazed by all my pictures. Having my bag stolen was upsetting but everything worked out all right and other than spending a few extra days, getting the passports reissued wasn't too bad. Just for your info, we had to go to the consulate in Johannesburg to get them issued. We never went to the Embassy since they do not help with that. I have sent in all the forms to our travel insurance but I have heard nothing yet, from them as to whether they will reimburse anything. I was very sorry also for the loss of your camera and your pictures. I hope all is going well for you and you have some new tourists to show around. Thank you again for all you did for us. I loved South Africa and Swaziland and will talk about our trip for many, many years to come. Happy Easter to you and take care, Debbie |
Name: Hoath party We will definitely recommend far and wild to our friends. Thanks again Mark and Caroline |
Name: Sugden party Christine and I have now arrived home safely, in fact we returned on
Thursday, but with lots to catch up on have now only found the time to Apart from that, the trip was superb with plenty of good sightings and
loads of great photo opportunities. We returned to a lion kill on 3 Mala Mala was brilliant. We had a guide who was also a keen photographer so knew about light and manourvered us in to the best postions. He also didn't mind if we wanted to spend time at 1 particular location. We have already started thinking about our next trip to Africa and just
need to decide where to go. Cape Town is on our list and I would like to Well that's about all for now. Thanks once again. With kind regards, Christine and Brian |
Name: Smith party Apologies that it has taken me the better part of a fortnight to contact you, but since getting back to the UK I have been intending to drop you a The first 4 days with Keith were a great deal of fun and Keith was

From: Ian Gill
Sent: 01 July 2007 Dear Keith,
I wanted to tell you that we thoroughly enjoyed the 3 1/2 week tour of South Africa which you helped organize for us. You scored very high points for the accommodation you arranged, especially in Natal -- Hannah Lodge and Isandlwana and the Sani Va lley Lodge were all outstanding.
I heard good things about Far and Wild and they were justified as far as we were concerned.
Congratulations again on a job well done.

From: Gail Burns Keith, the pictures came yesterday! I am so thrilled. They are wonderful. I might mention that some of my zebra shots were pretty cool as well (out of the 15 or so I took!). No kidding, you are a real professional. Thanks so much for sending them. We really had a great time and you were a terrific guide. I do want to come back to Africa and see and do Cape Town and maybe another game park with you at our side. We would love for you and your family to visit here, you would always be welcome, so do keep in touch. Again, it was such a good time, Gail and Adrian Gail Burns |
Jeremy, I have finally returned home to the United States from my holiday in South Africa. Please, please, please tell Warrick thank you; he was a wonderful guide. I will definitely use Far and Wild Safaris on my next visit to South Africa. Additionally, thank you for meeting our expectations. Feel free to use my comments as a reference. Thanks again. April D. Myrick, MBA, PMP |

Hi Chris We had a fabulous week - personally and professionally. We have learned a tremendous amount and have all had experiences that will shape our lives. I think our lasting memory will be of the tremendous faith and hope that South Africans have in the future of the country. We realise there will be difficult times ahead for the country but the ambition and the belief is there. Once again, thanks very much for your superb guidance, organisation and friendship. |
Dear Jeremy, We had a fantastic time on the safari and what made it so special was having Peter Whylie as our guide. What a gracious, knowledgeable man he is. Thank you for arranging for him to be our guid e. My husband and I agree that he made the experience First Class.
Most sincerely,
Robyn Perrin |
