Natasha

We had a great time at Jembisa and your company did a great job hooking us up. Thank you and I will most definitely use Bush Breaks in the future and will also be recommending it.

Ciao

Hello Kishani

Just wanted to thank you for helping me arrange this 2 day break for us and our friends at Simbambili Game Lodge.

The lodge is lovely, the staff and food were great and the game drives perfect. Definitely recommend again.

Pratima


Thank you Kishani

I would like to say that we enjoyed the weekend immensely. The staff at Cheetah Plains Lodge were absolutely outstanding and they could not have done more. They were friendly and helpful and our guide Greg was the best bush guide I have ever been with. The attention to detail in the lodge was excellent and we would recommend this place to anyone, and maybe go there ourselves again one day.

Please pass this message on to them if you like, or use it in any way you deem fit. They deserve it.

Regards,

Ian Laxton


Dear Natasha

My partner and I did indeed have a lovely stay at Clifftop Lodge. All the arrangements went very smoothly and we got what was advertised. I will definitely recommend your website to my colleages.

Regards,

Marilyn


Dear Jean-Marie

We had the most amazing time at Kwafubesi. The lodge, staff and scenery really make it a little piece of heaven.

I would like to mention that the level of service that I received from Refiloe your consultant was quite amazing. At the same time as contacting bush breaks I also emailed a number of other agents. I must tell you that your level of efficiency and your brilliant specials are not even comparable to any of your competitors. You guys are one of the few that are getting it right.

Thanks so much and we will definitely be using you in the future,

Jane


Kishani

Thanks we had a great time at Thandeka Lodge!!

Will definitely be using you guys in future.

Kind Regards

Hi Kishani

We again had a fantastic visit to Jock Safari Lodge. Little Jock offered something different which we enjoyed tremendously. We can recommend Jock Safari Lodge with no hesitation. Will speak to you soon for our next Bush Adventure. Thank you again for your friendly and competent assistance.

Speak to you soon.

Kind Regards.

Dear Crystal

Our weekend was really lovely. Buffalo Ridge is a very pleasant and easy-going lodge, comfortable and warm (thank goodness) beds and they went to a lot of trouble to ensure we were happy, warm and well fed; the food was outstanding!

On Saturday, as predicted, the weather took a strange turn and it first drizzled for a while and then rained but cleared up at about 2.30 p.m. It had been decided to hold the concert at Tuningi (grey, heavy cloud cover and COLD!) and even though it would have been lovely under the stars, it was very special and cosy in the lounge area of the lodge. He chatted, sang and played his heart out on the guitar, accordion and had the back up of 2 of his band members - amazing and totally worthwhile.

Thanks again for all your organization and help to make it so good.

Regards

Renee

 


Dear Crystal

We had the most awesome time at Chapungu and returned to Joburg with heavy hearts. Thank you for the professional service that you offer. We will definitely use Bushbreaks again.

Regards

Andrea Graham


Dear Natasha

We had a wonderful time and Mhondoro Lodge was an excellent recommendation. It exceeded all our expectations and we will definitely use Bushbreaks in future. You not only provided us with excellent service but also gave very good advice!

Thank you very much, and we look forward to using your services and visiting Mhondoro Lodge again in future.

Regards

Marli Roode



Hi Natasha

Am writing this on behalf of Justin and Lauren who are back in Australia, and who report they had the most amazing time at Impodimo - have seen the photos and am quite envious, I will try to get there one of these days.

As I was the one who did the bookings, I would just like to commend you on your friendly, efficient and helpful service, and it seems as if everything went without a hitch. We will definitely recommend you to family and friends.

Thanks so much

Carol de Wet


Dear Refiloe

We had a wonderful time. Simbambili is lovely - the accommodation is very good, the staff warm and extremely hospitable and they have the absolutely BEST lady running their little spa; her massages are incredible and we all went to her and unanimously voted her tops. The leopard sightings were unparalleled and everything was just perfect.

Many thanks, and we will definitely be contacting you again when we are looking for a bush break.

Thank you Refiloe for your excellent service...much appreciated.

Regards,

Barbara


Morning Kishani

There are no words to describe the wonderful time we had at the Nkomazi Game Reserve. Thank you for all the effort you made to make sure the reservation was in order.The highlight of our weekend was taking a bath outside, that made everything extraordinary and couldn't help with click click of the camera!

We'll call again for the next safari vist.

Thanks

Ziyanda


Dear Crystal

Our trip was very enjoyable, thank you - apart from the weather and not much anyone can do about that! The Ivory Tree Game Lodge was delightful and the food and game drives were excellent.

Booking through Bush Breaks was excellent. All our emails and queries were answered promptly and you were most helpful.

Many thanks and best regards,

Trish


Dear Crystal,

Thanks for your interest in our feedback.

We had a wonderful time at Djuma Vuyatela, the personnel were really efficient and they went the extra mile to make our stay enjoyable. I would suggest you keep this lodge in your portfolio and advise your customers to go there.

Besides, I would like to thank you for your efficient handling of our reservation considering the short notice between my request and our trip. When we go back to Southern Africa I would be happy to arrange accommodation with you again.

Regards,

Ruth

Kishani,

Clifftop Lodge is the most amazing place. It is so beautiful and peaceful. We were treated extremely well and we do indeed have many memories. I will tell all my friends about Africa and reccomend that they contact Bush Breaks. If I ever have a chance to go again I will be in contact.

Thanks for all your help.

Jim

Hi Kishani

As always your service was outstanding. Jembisa Lodge was the ideal spot for our meeting; the staff are a great asset there.

Hello Crystal and Monique,

Thank you very much for arranging our Getaway to Madikwe. We had a most enjoyable stay, and Impodimo staff treated us like royalty. Our chalet overlooked the waterhole, so we had a constant stream of game coming in to drink. They also have 5 lion cubs, of about 4 months old, and we found them on a kill one evening, with 2 lionesses. Some really amazing viewing! We also followed the pack of Wild Dogs, their markings are so amazing.

We were delighted with your attention to detail, and would look to you in the future, when we plan another Bush Break.

All the best,

Sue Alison



Hi Natasha

We had a lovely weekend - thank you for all your help! Your service was great and we will definitely use you again.

Warm regards

We enjoyed it very much

Hello, thank you very much for your mail. We had a superb time in Simbambili Game Lodge, will absolutely go again. The lodge, the staff, and the whole experience has been a real treat for all of us. Great advice from the team at bush break. Thank you. Kind regards. Michele Limacher


Hi there, Crystal

Yes, we did have a fantastic time and Motswiri Lodge was superb - food great, staff great, ambience great, lots of lovely unexpected surprises such as boma dinner, singing and a birthday cake!

Thanks, your service was really efficient and your website will now be our first stop when planning trips.

Just one thing - they weren't expecting us for lunch on Wednesday but, when we arrived at 1pm with a few hungry young men in our party, they very kindly moved high tea forward and that was more than adequate.

Kind Regards and thanks again

Priscilla Etheredge

Hi Natasha

Thank you so much for your e-mail.

Our stay was amazing - our game ranger Coert was excellent and definitely went the extra mile for us to see the animals. In fact we saw lion, rhino, elephant and leopard all in one day. Unbelievable! In fact all the staff were very good.

Natasha, you have been an absolute star and the service given has been 100%. We will definitely use Bush Breaks again for our next visit to the bush.

Many thanks once again.

Good Morning Bridget

Our trip was the best traveling experience of my life, and I have been lucky enough to go to many places. Your service was first class, and Dulini was absolutely exquisite. Words can't explain what a wonderful experience we have had. I would like to thank you and your company, as well as all the excellent staff at Dulini for a truly unforgettable experience.
This was my first ever trip to the bush (can you believe it!) and Sam and I have now decided that we will be doing this at least 4 times a year. I will be contacting you in February for another bush experience.

Thank you, and warm regards
Neville Lahner


Thank you Refiloe it was absolutely WONDERFUL!! Thank you for your excellent service and we shall definitely become a bushbreaks fan!!! Please keep in touch with your special offers. It was filled with fantastic memories and Tinga Lodge is just the most special place run by a very special lady Paula.

Thanks and regards
Laura and Jeremy Franklin


Dear Refiloe,

I'm not sure who you report to, but do me a favour and forward this to them please.

We travel a lot and I just want to let you know that your service is the best that I have yet received. It has been an absolute pleasure dealing through you, and rest assured, I will be using Bush Breaks and hopefully dealing with you again in the future.

Thank you so much,
Brett


Dear Alison and Refiloe

I am sad to say that I am back at work after a very relaxing and great break.

I would like to send a special thank you to the both of you making our booking to Clifftop Lodge so smooth. Being in the travel industry myself I understand what pressures you are under and I was extremely impressed with the level of service I received from you both.

Clifftop Lodge was amazing. I have been to my share of game lodges and so far I think that Clifftop Lodge is definitely the most beautiful setting I have ever seen in the bush. The staff there truly made my husbands birthday one to remember.

Once again, thank you for your excellent service and I am certain that we will be booking another bush holiday with you.

Hope you both have a great day.

Many Thanks & Kind Regards
Candice


We all had a wonderful time and really enjoyed Jaci's Safari Lodge.

Janine and Crystal were very helpful and I most definitely would not hesitate to contact them again.


It's my pleasure. As I mentioned to Crystal, main reason for booking was not just the price but also the PROMPT reply of my enquiry!

Have a nice day. I hope this Festive Season will be a prosperous one for you!

Best Regards
Paul Scott


A wonderful time was had by the family and our guests for whom it was a great introduction into the South African bush.

At this stage there no further plans for game farm visits but no doubt they will be back on our minds in the new year and we will be sure to use Bush Breaks.

Many thanks
Rupert Bushell


WOW WOW WOW WOW the safari was everything u said and MORE, thx for a great holiday and a top service and all under the pressure of time!! You are the best and I sure know where I will come to next time !

Mark Wolf


Just a short, but BIG thank you for helping Craig with the Honeymoon arrangements. Thorneybush was divine as ever and on our first night they pulled out all the stops with petals, candles, lots of bubble bath and Champaign.

The rain hounded us for the whole of the Saturday and followed us through to the game lodge - but it didn't dampen a thing !

Craig is now an adamant supporter of BushBreak Reservations . He says that he has never been away where things run like clock work and the bookings are all perfectly done.

Thank you again.
Anne Schweitzer


All I can say is that booking through Bush Breaks is an absolute pleasure.....it is done efficiently & Bridget is great..

Will definitely use you in the future!

Thanks & Regards,
Andrea Abrahamson

Thanks so much ,
Kind regards, Gill Randall


Thanks a ton for your arrangements in making this a memorable weekend.

To Gary and the staff of Impodimo Game Lodge - we wish to say thank you a 100 times over, The attention to detail and sensitivity that they displayed in dealing with very different clients was superb.
