Hello lovely ladies 

We are back in London after our truly amazing trip to South Africa!

I wanted to extend my very huge and heartfelt thanks to you all on behalf of my family and our friends, the Hedleys, for everything you did to make our trip so incredibly wonderful!

The bookings were all absolutely seamless and we had the smoothest trip in every way possible!

This was our second visit to Thornybush Game Lodge and, while we did not think it could ever have been as good as the first time, I am pleased to tell you all it WAS EVEN BETTER and literally exceeded all expectations! I think this was down to having THE most incredible ranger – Lindy – and tracker – John and butler – Sanof – the best of the best! They were incomparable in their knowledge, experience, kindness, generosity, enthusiasm, attention, service, humour and all round professionalism. The animal sightings were next level and the boys all enjoyed the most incredible bush walk with Lindi and her husband Jack which was exciting beyond words and which they will be talking about for years to come – an absolute life highlight! The food and presentation was outstanding. Our accommodation was really beautiful, the spa treatments were superlative and the general attention to detail and care was beyond amazing.

Thank you all so much for everything you did to curate this magical experience for us, we had so much fun and will remember it forever! Thank you too for the truly lovely thoughtful Cycle of

Life gifts , so much appreciated!

Our time at the Vineyard Hotel was wonderful too – we had beautiful big garden rooms! Our favourite was the amazing breakfast buffet and sitting outside each morning with that breathtaking view of Table Mountain!

Thank you all so much and my very best wishes to you for a great year ahead!

I just wanted to send a hug thank you to you and your team. This wouldn’t have been possible without you and the suggestions your team made to make this event one of a kind and include many “only in YPO” experiences like the market, dehorning, and more.

Thank you for also making my pre and post event stay memorable as well at Oyster Box.

I hope we can bring a group back sometime soon! If not, Kyle and I will likely be back next year.

Cheers and thank you again!

I got in contact with Rene based on a recommendation, and she was immediately friendly and helpful.  Originally I was looking for a transfer from Durban airport to the Bayala Game Reserve, however Rene was able to organise hotel bookings as well and got us upgraded to superior rooms at the standard room price.  Sue-Anne was very helpful coordinating the detail and sent us a detailed itinerary.

Overall, we were very please with the support that we got from Cycle of Life.  The value and service provided was far superior to an international tour operator we had also contacted.  I would highly recommend them on the basis of:

• Very pleasant, prompt and efficient communication.
• On the ground and local knowledge.
• Full breakdown of costs – we would not have booked it for cheaper ourselves.
• The drivers were courteous and very punctual.
