14 Dec 2011We Really Enjoyed Ourselves

Quote

Hi Richard,

Hope this mail finds you well.

We’ve been meaning to write you a thank you note but we were completely swarmed with everything you can imagine once we touched down. Nevertheless, we wanted to express our appreciation for your speedy responses before, and while we were there in South Africa. Also, the car transfer locations were very well planned. We were worried for a moment.

The places and routes you recommended were exactly what we wanted – adventure and sights. The Game reserves turned out to be one of the most intense highlights of our lives. For a brief, but unforgettable moment, we were in the midst of an elephant stamped!

We have recommended you to a Singaporean couple for their South Africa trip next year and I believe they are communicating with you already.

We really enjoyed ourselves. We hope to patronise your services again! Thank you very much.

Cheers! Ee Chian & Kriss
