Photographs submitted by guests of Djuma

Dear Kim and all at the Bush Lodge,
I am writing to thank you for everything you did for us during our stay over the New Year. Our time at Djuma was without doubt one of the finest five days we have ever spent. The comfort and cleanliness of the lodge was unparalleled, while the food and drink and hospitality was superlative - the diets have really had to begin in earnest now we are home!

I would like to thank our guides and trackers especially, as they were outstanding.

Hi Kim and Chris and all at Bush Lodge
Can't believe it's been over a month since we got back from our wonderful stay with you. The fabulousness (is that a word?? I think I just made it up!) of our safari will stay with us for a very long time.

Dear Chris and Kim, Thank you very much indeed for a wonderful holiday-an unforgettable experience. Your inspiration and enthusiasm together with being able to see the animals at such close quarters is something that will remain with us always. Our favourite adventure was to find the Leopard for which I enclose a photo. Please keep us informed about the impending arrival. Very best wishes to you both and all the staff.

Chris, I had a great time at the Bush Camp. You did a great job as guide and host. I totally love the way you drive. Too bad you don't live in the states, we might have to put you out there for some off-roading (usually involves mud). ... click here to read the rest of her letter ...

Hi Chris, Kim and team
What a fantastic stay we had at your lodge!!!! Topped off by this fantastic sighting - a lion up a tree with 11 hyenas on the ground.
Thanks for a truly outstanding stay - first class lodge with very friendly staff and outstanding sightings.
Take care and look forward to some our friends and family coming to stay in the near future

Dear Graham,
We just returned from our holiday which was wonderful and started in Djuma. For whatever it is worth, you are still my favorite ranger … :-)
We were lucky to see leopards in three different occasions and one with the cutest cub, I think this is the only "big 5" one we had not met in your company.
Please find attached the pictures I took of you and Harry the Hornbill he was rescued from drowning by Graham). Exceptional memories...
Keep well, it is wonderful to meet people who love what they do everyday!
Cheers,

Hi Chris
Here are some photos for the gallery (lion, bataleur, wild cat up a tree and a hyena finishing off the elephant carcass).
Thanks for the fantastic few days we spent at Djuma - we couldn't have been better looked after by you and all the other staff. Some day we'll come back.
All the best

Chris, just read the ranger report and saw that White Cloth lost her female cub, I'm so sad to hear that. Will look for some good shots of the two cubs to send on to you, Becky

Hi Char,
Hello from a very hot Arizona! It has been around 42 degrees here everyday, so we are trying hard to stay cool.
I am finally sorting through all of my photos, and I wanted to pass a few of them on to you.
I hope that this letter finds you healthy and happy and that you are having a fabulous week! I miss all of you so much!
Big hugs,

Dear Chris & Kim,
I hope you are both well. I've not stopped telling everyone in the zoology department how amazing Sabi Sands, and in particular, Djuma is. People keep saying to me that they've also heard good things from other people, so you guys must be doing things right for all of your visitors.

Dear Chris,
Late, must most sincerely: many thanks to you, to Kim, to Abel and to the whole staff. You all make Djuma Bush Camp a marvelous place.
Yves and I had a great time sharing with you news and information about the spotted cats of the northern Sabi Sand. It is always nice to realize one is not the only crazy addicted persons... And seeing White Cloth was a great event !

Hi Chris, Andrew and everyone at Djuma Bush Camp (legend of a place)
We are now back home in cold and wet England. YAY! We had an amazing time in Africa in the bush and by the beach. In Ballito the weather was very hot and there was plenty of time to get a tan. Thanks for the tips on wear to shop Kim. My Dad is now officially broke! Heehee. We went to uSharka and had a great time. The slides were great. Henry now thinks he is a "surfer" but I was way better than him.
Anyway here are some of the pictures I took at Djuma. Thanks for making our holiday FAB! Hope to see you all again. (Which we probably will, as Mum and Dad are already planning our next trip to South Africa.)
Thanks again Bye.

Hope you like the pictures!
