I want to thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for creating something so special, so seamless, and so deeply memorable for both my mom and me.

When I first came to you, all I said was that this would be her first safari trip, and that I wanted to celebrate her 79th birthday in a truly unforgettable way. I gave you complete freedom to plan her dream trip, and you did exactly that—and so much more. Every detail was perfectly orchestrated, from our stay in Johannesburg to our flights, to being greeted with warmth and care by porters at every step. You took care of everything, and that in itself was such a luxury. We were free to just experience—to be present in the moment, in the wild.

The two camps you chose—Kings Pool and Mombo—were beyond anything I had imagined. And the fact that we stayed in Room Number One at both, with complete privacy and the wilderness right outside our doorstep, was incredible. At Kings Pool, we had the privilege of meeting such kind and special people—the kind who make you feel like family from the moment you arrive. I’ll never forget at King’s Pool, the baboons jumping on our balcony, or napping to the sound of hippos nearby or the hyena and water buffalos sleeping just in front of our porch at Mombo. It was like living inside a nature documentary—but with the warmth and comfort of home.

Mombo was just as magical—intimate, welcoming, and full of heart—and the game drives in Mombo: just wow. We were in the heart of wildlife with just a 5-minute drive. Our first night there, just minutes from camp, we were greeted by an elephant family. Incredible as they are, they are also so quiet. We were driving back to camp in the dark under the stars and suddenly, they were right in front of us, just meters away, eating quietly. It was such a special experience.

Such beauty. And the way both camps celebrated my mom’s birthday was so special and unforgettable. So many happy memories from this amazing trip. You didn’t just plan a holiday—you created a dream we were lucky enough to live in.

The nights under the stars, the vast and untouched wilderness, the incredible people, and the spirit of Botswana have left an imprint on me. There is something about being surrounded by such immense natural beauty, harmony, and quiet power that has forever changed me.

Margaret, thank you. Thank you for your thoughtfulness, your expertise, and your incredible ability to turn a vision into something even greater than I imagined. I’m so grateful we got to work together—and I can’t wait to plan another journey with you when the time is right.

From start to finish, her care, attention to detail, and personal touch transformed this journey into an unforgettable experience.

She took the time to truly understand what I was looking for—my interests, travel style, and the kind of memories I wanted to create. Every element of the trip felt custom-tailored, from the breathtaking lodges to the once-in-a-lifetime wildlife encounters and the seamless logistics that made traveling across three countries feel effortless.

What stood out most was her genuine passion for creating meaningful travel experiences. It was clear that she wasn’t just booking a trip—she was crafting something special just for me. She truly listened to my specific requests and then executed them brilliantly. Her thoughtful recommendations, responsiveness, and insider knowledge of the region made all the difference.

Thanks to her, I experienced Africa in a way I never imagined possible. I returned home not only with beautiful photos, but with a deep appreciation for the cultures and landscapes I encountered—all because of her extraordinary work.

I wholeheartedly recommend Margaret and Safariworx to anyone seeking a personalized, expertly curated adventure. She is a true professional and a joy to work with. She did a F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S job in every way—right down to doing a personal errand for me in Johannesburg as I transited home.

Nina has already expressed so well how much we enjoyed the safari trip and how Margaret personally planned everything so thoughtfully and perfectly that it goes for both of us.

It only remains for me to add that this was also a spiritual birthday gift for me. As an animal lover, a nature, marine and cultural conservator, to see the splendid wild animals and birds free, healthy and happy, in their natural habitat; minimum invasion to the land with roads and dwellings; and last but not least to observe the native Africans making everything work smoothly, proud of their work, confident and happy: all this was not just a good holiday, it was inspiring and a ray of hope for the future of our ailing planet.

I would like here to express my thanks and appreciation to your company, to the people and the authorities of Botswana.

I have read The Elephant Whisperer, An Elephant in my Kitchen, and The Elephants of Thula Thula, with a new understanding of the whole organization and the difficulties as well as the successes involved.
