Dear Melissa
It was just an amazing trip and one that I would cherish for the rest of my life. My buddies, Sandeep, Nitin and Lashit thoroughly enjoyed every bit of the experience that you had planned and set up for us. Great choices… and thanks for this from all of us.
My special thanks to you for that extra and personal effort to make sure that I made this trip … despite the initial hiccups with my Botswana visa and for being there and sharing my anxiety till it was done.
Starting from the Victoria Falls (which is an unbelievable sight, especially at this time of the year when the river is in full flow) to the lovely and exclusive tented camps in the wilderness, every minute of it was amazing! The friendly hospitality, personalized food and overall kindness exhibited by the &Beyond Team were unmatched. I would recommend this to all my buddies who are keen on wildlife photography and for a wilderness experience of their lifetime.
The time spent with Katembo, our guide during the entire length of our expedition, was very rewarding and great learning. His knowledge of the entire ecosystem, spotting abilities and the patience to explain in detail even the smallest of aspects, made our trip even more interesting and worthwhile. He was sharp in his sightings, factual in his explanations, safe at all times and very friendly. His ability to balance safety and excitement is truly professional. He always went the extra step to make sure that we were comfortable at all times and would personally assist the local teams in the camps to ensure this.
Our final night at Xudum was amazing too and a true icing on the cake! The adventurous boat rides, the warm hospitality, superb and tastefully laid out rooms, the food and ambience… huh! One can’t stop. Our special thanks to Graham – who took time to come with us on the safari, Chef Chris – who is amazing and the lovely manager, “Tessie” and her ever-smiling team!
It was indeed “&Beyond” all expectations and an “Out of the World” experience!
Thanks and cheers all around!
