The Remmert Family recently travelled with us on an awesome African adventure planned by our travel consultant Bianca Johnstone. Back home now, they sent us some words about their trip.
“We returned yesterday from our wonderful adventure in Africa. It was an awesome experience for all of us. As Pete said, the memories of this trip will be with us for the rest of our lives. We want to thank you for your guidance every step of the way.
Londolozi Varty Camp was truly amazing. I still cannot believe the extent of their personal attention. They planned surprises for us every day, including a complete breakfast, prepared and served in the bush, a traditional African Potjie dinner, a night of African music and dance, a remote tree house sleepover in the bush with all 11 of the kids (14-30 years old), and an amazing reception prepared in the bush on our last evening there, complete with lanterns, hors d’oeurves, our favorite Veuve Cliquot champagne, and a visit with Shan and Dave Varty.
The planning by Georgia, Kerry and staff helped make James proposal to Laura a magical event. The were taken to a secluded treetop location in the bush, complete with colorful cushions, a lovely lunch, champagne and roses. As I understand it, James proposed as they watched elephants below them. I am sure it will be a highlight in their lives together.
The food and the way it was presented at Londolozi was impeccable. We absolutely loved that everything was prepared and ready for us at every meal. There was no ordering and waiting for a meal and everyone could enjoy sampling all the wonderful choices. Vegetarians and meat eaters alike were delighted at each meals offerings. I have been to many fine hotels and resorts all over the world and have never experienced this sort of treatment.
Londolozi’s staff, including rangers, trackers, butlers, management and general staff were amazing. Everyone bonded with the rangers and trackers, who proceeded to open our eyes to the wonder of the African bush. To be so close to animals we had only seen in books and movies was truly amazing. We loved the freedom that they have been given at Londolozi by the Varty family to explore the bush.
Everything at Londolozi absolutely filled us with wonder. They obviously put much thought into every moment of our stay and further, carried out their plans with friendly and joy filled attitudes. They truly made us feel like we were part of their family. I would highly recommend Londolozi to anyone and hope to be able to return one day.
Singita was also wonderful. The property is exquisite, the food delicious and the staff attentive. The animal sightings were wondrous and the rangers and trackers were so knowledgeable and personable, just as they were at Londolozi.
Thank you Bianca for all you did to make our adventure such a wonderful event. We will never forget it.
With gratitude,
Cheryl”
