	Liane, Kim, and Jay, Thank you for your part in the absolutely fantastic time I had at Djuma this Christmas. The level of fun and excitement was high due not only to the animals and my fellow game viewers, but also by the professionalism displayed you and your staff. I have and will recommend your lodge to anyone I can, and I hope to be there again myself in the future. I have enclosed just a few files that I scanned from my photographs (click here to see the photographs in the Guest Gallery). Of course they never seem to do justice to the actual subject and you probably get loads of pics, but these were probably the best of what I took. All the best to you in 2002. Warm regards, Thomas Garetson December 2001

	To the Djuma Bush Lodge Team Thank you so much for another glorious weekend spent with you. We all had a weekend to remember - great game viewing, superb food and fun company. A special thanks to Pete for the work done on our car - we made it back safely to Johannesburg with no trouble whatsoever. To Chris, thanks for going back in to the bush to look for, "the bag" which saved me an awful lot of trouble. Each on of the team added something special to make it an unforgettable weekend. See you next year Love Graham, Mary-Anne, Samantha & Stephanie SA September 2001

	Dear Djuma, On behalf of all my family and friends I would like to thank you for a truly wonderful stay at Galago recently. Everything was better than expected and we shall definitely return some day, sooner rather than later. We would like to give a special thank you to Ephram who was an absolute gem and he has given us some memorable moments to remember, his knowledge of the wildlife combined with a good sense of humour made the perfect guide. Please tell him that due to the tracking skills he taught me, that we managed to find a cheetah[ in fact 4 of them] for Louise and sable for me in the Kruger after we had left Djuma. Thanks again, Chris Phillips SA August 2001

	Dear Chairman David Mallow was just so enthusiastic about his trip to Djuma and more importantly how fantastic Graham was as their guide. Of all the trips David has done with his students, Graham is by the far the best and most passionate guide he has ever had. As usual, thank you for making our clients feel so special at your camps!

	Hi Lianne, Patti and I wanted to again pass along our heartfelt thanks to you and everyone on the staff at Bush Lodge for making our visit there the best vacation we have ever had. We will never forget our experience at Djuma. Everyone at Bush Lodge went out of their way to make us feel welcome and attend to our every need. It is not only the game viewing but also the people at Bush Lodge that contributed to our overall experience at Djuma. Again, please extend our gratitude to all of the great people at Bush Lodge. We hope to see you again sometime! Best regards, USA Mark & Patti Van Donsel

	Lianne Many thanks to you and to all the Djuma staff for giving us such an unforgettable and enjoyable experience while we were there. Words do not adequately describe it! We certainly hope to return one day. Yours sincerely, UK Neil, Ann and Julie Kern

	Thank you, Djuma … just thought I'd let you know how much your Djuma Safaris and Vuyatela cam are appreciated. Thanks for the terrific work you do and the pleasure and happiness you bring to us all! Carol-TX USA July 2001

	Thanks so much to all the wonderful staff at Djuma. We have just returned home after a marvellous 3 days at Vuyatela with all the Harrisberg family. We were so impressed with the beauty of the place and of course, the service. Your staff are marvellous and the atmosphere absolutely wonderful. We … feel very privileged to have been there with you for this wonderful re-union of all the family. Thanks again to all of you for a marvellous time. Yours sincerely, Morris and Joan Elias July 2001

	Dear Bronwen and Edward, and all the staff, We just wanted to let you know what a wonderful time we had at Vuyatela lodge. It was absolutely the highlight of our entire trip. The food, the game drives, and especially the people made the entire experience one of the best we have ever had!! We enjoyed it so much that after that, even the cruise up the west coast and through the Med to Istanbul (while great) was no comparison. Thank you for such a memorable time in South Africa!!! Best wishes to you all, Terry and Cathy Hough USA May 2001

	Wonderful Holiday Just wanted to let you guys know at Djuma (Vuyatela), what a wonderful time we had for our 4-day stay. I really can't put into words how great every single part of this trip was. Please let Bronwen, Edward, Solley and Dyke know how much we appreciated everything. These people and the kitchen staff definitely made the trip a complete success. We've been to many places around the world and had very good times but never felt so sad to leave. They all have a little place in our hearts. Thanks again for everything hope to see ya in the near future. Terri Brusio & John Klem USA May 2001

	Dear Liane and All at Djuma On our return to England, John and I would just like to send our heartfelt thanks to you all for making our stay at Djuma so enjoyable. We'd visited game parks before and thought that this would be "the usual". How wrong we were! Right from the start you made us feel so welcome and the drives with Pete and Maurice (sorry if we've got the spelling of names wrong), when they both tried so hard to show us as many animals as possible and explain their habits, fears, etc., whilst listening out for the next radio call for the next sighting, made a really thrilling and fascinating stay. We also especially were grateful to Maurice for taking us on a drive around his village and the local area. It was so interesting for us when Maurice pointed out different ways of building homes, what was growing in the family gardens, etc. Everyone was so friendly! Of course, it goes without saying that the food in the Lodge was superb - please pass on our thanks to the ladies who cooked for us, the lady who explained every evening what the menu would be, and especially the lady who ventured out in darkness and brought our early morning tea to our bungalow! We loved the evenings around the fire, eating a lovely dinner and chatting to everyone. In fact, we've made close friends with the couple from London, John and Pat Cooper, and hope they will visit us soon. We promise to visit you again, and hope to see those large birds, white and black, with red and orange bills, whose name you keep telling me and I keep forgetting!! In the meantime, our sincere thanks to you all. Keep well. God bless you all and your lovely country. Warmest regards John and Dot Prenton UK May 2001

	Hi Campbell Pen, Bronwen Char Thank you soooo much. We just wanted to say a very big thank you for such an incredible stay at a lodge that is truly impressive. Please won't you thank the staff for such a wonderful stay? The staff was so helpful and friendly (with the biggest smiles) and such good entertainers!!! The food was excellent and we saw so much on the game drives. Dike was super. Thanks again Lots of love Lance & Amy SA April 2001

	Dear Charmian Hi there. I had drinks with the Wondrasches last night and they mentioned a few times how much they had enjoyed Djuma. They mentioned the rangers, staff and game and said their stay was great. They were particularly impressed by their ranger who took them to his village. They loved that. Thanks so much - and I look forward to seeing it all for myself soon!! Kind regards Leigh Smith

	Hi Guys Chris, Leanne, Jay, Kim, Billy, Able and all Just a note to thank you all for the wonderful time you gave us. We really felt part of an extended family rather than tourists and it was the best holiday we've ever had. Thank you. Love Sally & Howard UK March 2001

	Hallo everyone at Djuma Bush Lodge! Pia and I wish to thank you all for three never-forgetting days with you at Djuma. We felt that we were part of a family due to the kindly meeting we get from the start and which continued on all our days with you. We want to give special warm thanks to Billy and Abel for the way they took care of us and, for what they showed and told us and for their funny discussions. Billy and Abel, you will always have a place in our hearts. After some more fantastic days in South Africa we now are back in Sweden where it's still cold, around zero. We already longing for to back to you. All the best Alf Johansen Sweden February 2001
