Listed below are some excerpts from our feedback forms:

"The Livingstone Trail was certainly the right trip for us, the standard of camping and lodges was excellent and the food in camp was especially good. Brent's knowledge and enthusiasm knew no bounds. Offentse was charming and helpful and an excellent spotter of distant birds and animals. We saw nearly 400 species of birds of which 140 were new to me." Patrick and Claire Frew (Livingstone Birding Trail - March 2010)

"Personally, Erika and I regard this our best ever touring experience. We are now seriously considering doing the Kalahari with Letaka. Thank you to Letaka Safaris and everyone involved in arranging this fantastic safari." Ronnie & Erika Wellmann (Livingstone Birding Trail - March 2010)

"What an unbelievable experience, this truly was the trip of a lifetime. A thousand thank-you's to the incredible camp staff and to Chris in particular who managed to produce the most delicious meals in the middle of nowhere. Grant is absolutely brilliant and his skills added many birds to our list that we would otherwise not have seen. Thanks again to all at Letaka Safaris" Nicole Hutton (Livingstone Birding Trail - April 2009)

"When we booked our birding holiday we had fairly high expectations as Letaka Safaris had been recommended to us by friends who had travelled with them previously. Well, our safari completely exceeded all expectations, we had such a wonderful time with Brent and his camp crew who seemed to know what we wanted before we wanted it. We will be back!" Simon Hadwell (Livingstone Birding Trail - Feb 2010)

"I have travelled with Letaka Safaris 14 times over the past 9 years, later this year I will be doing my 15th safari with them. There is simply no comparison for the way that these guys do Africa. My only advice to anyone travelling with Letaka Safaris would be DON'T GO, unless you can afford to go again. And again. And again." Julia Irving (April 2010)
