Mark, You unified our group in a way that I never expected. I believe we got along with each other as well as we did because of your leadership. That everything fell in place as schedule was part of the success of our trip, but even more important, I think, was that you took firm control of the reins and never let them go! And you were in the least offensive in doing so. Just as much, we appreciated your and Martin’s fantastic knowledge of the animals, their habits and the terrain. When I add to the above the wonderful food and accommodations that Key & Downey lined up, and the staff, particularly Lekuk and Lamebt (sp), we couldn’t have asked for more. I will cherish my memories of Africa. Thank you!!
Dear Mark, Thank you for all the great memories during our safari! Thanks for pushing us out of our comfort zone and for your endless knowledge of the plants, animals and animal sounds. Thanks for all you have done to make our safari the trip of a lifetime. You and Bill and the team have done a fantastic job on all levels. We have all enjoyed your company and are sad to see the journey come to an end. Hopefully soon our family will be one of your repeat customers. Thanks again,
