"We spent 5 hours waiting for this lioness to make
her move as safari vehicles came and went every 1/2 hour or
so. When the kill finally took place around 10:45 AM, we were
the only persons who witnessed it. There were many other similar
instances where our patience was rewarded."

A LETTER TO MAKE US PROUD!
Here is a letter we received from Mr Dublanko with
his photographs following his trip:
Dear Meregan,
I want to thank you once again for arranging our safari to
Botswana. As independent travellers who grew up as part of
the Lonely Planet generation, we have always searched for
means of getting as close to the heart of the destinations
we visit away from the tourists and the areas they frequent.
As keen photographers, my wife and I have always wanted to
go on safari but were not keen on the idea of being driven
along with other tourists who did not share our interests.
The attached pictures of a lion kill at Nxai Pan (of which
we photographed two) are a good example. We spent 5 hours
waiting for this lioness to make her move as safari vehicles
came and went every 1/2 hour or so. When the kill finally
took place around 10:45 AM, we were the only persons who witnessed
it. There were many other similar instances where our patience
was rewarded.
Having lived in the third or developing world for the past
15 years, I realize how difficult coordinating such a trip
in Botswana must be and commend Bronwyn and your ground staff
in Botswana on what must be a thankless job well done. In
this age of the internet, where entire trips can be arranged
on-line with a few clicks, you are providing a very valuable
service that no amount of technology could have arranged.
We enjoyed our trip immensely and plan to do it again within
the next 12-24 months, although perhaps at a cooler time of
year and with more time to spare.
Thanks again.
Regards
Gary Dublanko
