Hi Brian, Thank you so much for your hard work in arranging yet another wonderful trip J. It was indeed a fabulous trip! As Terry mentioned, Busanga Plains Camp was excellent!!! I found the game viewing was even better than 2 years ago. The lion sightings were great too though I was sad to hear from the camp manager that the “size” of the prides were actually in decline and that... — Yoanis H, Florida USA

First I have to apologize to write you back so late, but these last months have been extremely busy for us. We have to thank you again for the wonderful time you have organized for us in the South Africa region. Whole trip was absolutely fantastic. We still weren't able to organize our photos, so I will send them later. Flamingo bay, Thonga and Rhino post were all absolutely beautiful. Service... — Gregor & Lesjak, Slovenia

I have to say the holiday was an amazing experience, one we will never forget. The highlights were many; Xarana was an incredible experience, and whilst they had only been open for 3 days the quality of the service, food and the lodge can not be faulted. The delta experience is something else, and CC Africa an incredible organization. Lebala was the true wilderness experience - hippos and... — Martin, Switzerland - (repeat client)

Stanley's Camp: Stanley's was the first destination of our trip and Bruce and I agree, the best. We saw incredible wildlife and were treated very well. We were extremely impressed with the lodging and, even more important, the quality of the staff. This lodge is staffed by people who have an ownership stake, and it shows. Our guide, Alan, was top-notch; we didn't encounter any guide at... — Robin and Bruce, Stanleys, Washington

I came across African Odyssey website quite by accident but I have to say that in the ten months it took for me to finally decide on the itinerary (not his fault but my indecision), I really felt I had found a friend. His expertise and knowledge of South Africa was complete and sound. As we wanted to travel from Johannesburg to Port Elizabeth, take in a Safari then drive the garden route to Cape... — Sue Cundle, England

All your arrangements were perfect. We thought the 2 camps run by couples, Baines with Glenn and Karen, and Chobe with Rob and Heidi, were significantly better than the other two. The elephant experience at Baines was memorable. Many many thanks. — Robin Menzies, Scotland - (repeat client)

Brian, Both of your trips to Tuli, Botswana and Kafue National Park in Zambia were terrific. In addition to the experience of the bush, which was paramount, the food, accommodations were excellent. The professional guides were the best at locating and identifying the wild life. Thanks again. Photos coming. Have not even had time to download them yet with the demands of daily life after... — Terry C Long - Florida USA

Thank you so much for all the hard work that you put into our simply fabulous holiday. We had thought that the holiday was a bit expensive, but we were wrong. Pricey perhaps, but incredible value for money. We loved both camps, and had the most incredible views of both animals and birds. I am only sorry that I was not able to go on one of the walks - next time. And it won't be another 40 years... — Gerrard and Joan, Botswana, South Africa

Brian, Just arrived home safely a hour or so ago. Sorry I was not able to ring you from the airport. By mistake, I forgot to shut off my mobile phone the last time I used it and when we got to the airport in Jo'berg, I just did not have any time to charge it. Our flight out of MalaMala was a few hours late, so we were in the Jo'berg airport at about 3 :30 or so, and by the time we retrieved... — Richard Thompson, Pennsylvania

Please let me fully and confidently recommend the use of Brian Kemp as the travel expert and agent for any of your travel needs in Africa. I can not do justice to the service we received through him for our trip to Africa last spring. From the first exchange until we all arrived home safely he was available to answer questions, make arrangements, adjustments, and supply directions to assure every... — Julia Atwood, California

We had a wonderful trip. The arrangements were superb. Everything went off like clockwork. Collin met us at the airport, made sure we got to our first hotel and gave us all of the arrangements and some good advice. All of the lodges were great. My wife had worried about the accommodations but remarks that they were much better than she expected and probably the finest she has stayed at. We saw... — Rob Woolley, Maryland USA

Sorry Brian but I wouldn't describe this as a good trip. It was an excellent trip, one we'll remember for a long, long time! I was originally skeptical about 3 safari camps - but each was different and great in their own way. Overall, Stanley's was our favorite due to guides who actually tracked the animals, extremely collegial people and great food - but we wouldn't hesitate to... — Barry and Marge, Houston, Texas
