1 The Magic of southern Africa safari 18 DAYS, 1-18 SEPTEMBER 2012 "I wanted to say a special thanks for the most amazing trip, it really was absolutely awesome. I can't begin to comprehend how much organisation it has taken to collate and co-ordinate the logistics of such a venture. You have managed to put up with different personalities, keep us all organised, make sure we met deadlines and took care of any hitches along the way, sometimes when things were a bit strained. I consider we had exceptional value for money, the standard of accommodation was far better than what I envisaged not to mention the game viewing. It was not just the wonderful safari lodges (each one was special), the game viewing and birds but the smell of Africa each time I go back is quite intoxicating. The Hide was absolutely amazing, quite beautiful and all the wonderful people as well. I would unhesitatingly recommend your trips." Meg. "A big thank you to yourself and Maree for a really enjoyable and highly worthwhile trip. Dad and I both loved it, not only for the wildlife aspect and the valuable contribution that SAVE plays but also for putting such a great bunch of totally different people together. I didn't know whether I was sadder to leave Zim or our little group." Elizabeth. "Both Margaret and I had a great time and the wildlife was all we expected, and so much more" Katie. Come with the SAVE FOUNDATION tour for 20 people, fully escorted, and enjoy the fabulous times that our recently returned groups experienced. 3 days at THE HIDE ( in Hwange National Park, will always be remembered, winner in 13 of the last 17 years for Lodge of the Year.

We would recommend this to anyone interested in the preservation and continuation of animal species." Mike and Lorraine; September "I really enjoyed all the game viewing and accommodation. The behind the scenes bits were very special." Jenny; September "We had amazing experiences in each of the four places we stayed - thanks for a wonderful trip." Yvonne and Bob; September 2008.
