WHAT YOU HAVE SAID
“Nigel –
Thank you for a wonderful safari with the Bowers Group. You are irrepressible and irreplaceable! Your drivers Andrew and Brian are outstanding and the whole crew at the tented camp are to be commended again. It was a wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime trip for me. I wish you and all your group continued success.”
Ruth Evans, on safari with the Bowers Museum ~ Los Angeles, California USA,
“The safari could not have gone any better or smoother, thanks to your excellent planning and personal attention. Pat and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you. Please give Kappia our best regards and thank him again for us for being such an excellent guide and friend. When I tell my friends of our trip the Africa, I will be sure to recommend you and Kappia to them if they express an interest in going….if we ever decide to return to Africa, you'll be the first person I'll contact! ”
Michael Barnett Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, USA
“Stephen is an excellent guide, we couldn’t ask for better. The camp was marvellous, the crew was a delight, always helpful and pleasant and the food was excellent (actually unbelievable for camp.) Overall, an excellent safari!
”
Klaus & Karen Cristo, Australia
“Thank you for organising this very special trip for us in the most fantastic way. We loved having a real Land Rover and Kappia was just the guide we needed. The children went home with a journal… the camping was a great success and the Maasai very kindly hauled the children up onto all the rocks, they loved it! We wish you all much success and hope to come again some time.”
Meta and Max Boreel and grandchildren, France
“We had a fantastic time and have many stories to tell and retell. Both Debbie and I plan to come back with a camping safari the question will just be when….your support is first class and we liked your flexibility.”
Stephen Mueller, US Air Force, Norway
“Africa was wonderful! When we said our last good-bye to Stephen I actually cried. My whole family can see why you fell in love with the country and the people. My friends have asked since we returned about our trip; my response is the safaris were exceptional, Stephen made the whole trip worthwhile and I loved the people. Thank you, thank you for a fabulous memory! Our trip exceeded all of our expectations,”
Sallie Johnson, South Carolina, USA
Comments from the van Buskirk / van Doorninck family of Tacoma Washington, USA
“Kitty Ann and I returned to Tanzania where we had visited in 1989. It was everything we hoped for including…. seeing lots of wild animals and beautiful landscapes and visiting an orphanage.”
John van Buskirk
“Tanzania was a life altering trip. The beauty of the land animals and people is truly amazing.”
Kitty Ann van Doorninck
“Tanzania cannot be compared to anywhere else. We saw hundreds of animals and visited a Maasai “boma” or village and an orphanage. I think we all still think about our trip daily and have many pictures to help remind us.”
Adam van Buskirk, age 14
“We had fun in Africa. We saw lots of animals including: baboons, lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, hippos, monkeys and birds. Crocodiles were everywhere on the Grumeti River and wildebeests were very numerous.”
Jacob van Buskirk, age 12
“Had a great time all round… Still marvelling at Amos's wide knowledge and interest and the catering
and hospitality skills of Mandy and his team. Hot showers in the Serengeti! I never thought that I would be
asked, by Amos, about the European Union while having dinner under canvas in the middle of Africa or next evening
being asked by Mandy how the English parliament system works.”
John Beaumont, Agricultural Consultant, UK
“The best compliment I can give you is to say we feel as if we've been treated
like family.”
Simon Wilson, Businessman, UK
“We would like to thank you and those who worked on our trip, for the fabulous
time we had in Tanzania. Everything was so well organised and we loved every bit of our trip. It was a holiday
never to be forgotten. Everything was so special in it's own way. Seeing is believing……”
Van
Dorth Group Safari, Holland
“I want to thank you and your staff for the trip of a lifetime for me and you haven't seen the last
of me. I have every intention of returning with my husband one of these days. I had been dreaming of a trip
like this since I was a little girl and this voyage exceeded my expectations in every way. Once again, many
thanks! ”
Laurie Beasley, Gallery Owner, Chicago USA, on safari with Amazing Tanzania
“Nigel and Andrew pull out all of the stops and each time it is better than the last. And each time
we come away saying they can't top that but they do. I guess that is the reason we keep returning and returning.
All of the wonderful people we meet, the pull of Gibb’s Farm and Ndutu and the Gol Mountains - what an unbeatable
combination. It’s hard for people to understand about all of this when we try to explain, it is like
coming home each time we return to Tanzania.”
Pat Garcia, Travel Professional USA
“ We have had an absolutely wonderful time and it has exceeded our expectations. We have managed to see
more wildlife than we had ever anticipated. This is due to Gibb’s Farm Safaris but especially Andrew.
We both feel that it would be impossible to have had a better guide. He was polite, interesting to chat to
and very
knowledgeable of the wildlife. He also noticed whilst driving so many animals I decided to call him ‘The
Eagle Eye!’ We hope to visit Tanzania again and we would certainly use Gibb’s Farm Safaris.”
Eileen Imrie, Financier UK
“
Thanks ever so much for all your hospitality, superb organisation and your wonderful, wonderful haven of tranquility,
with its majestic views and food to die for. I’m already spreading the Gibb’s Farm and Gibb’s Farm
Safaris word.”
Andrew Warshaw, Sports Writer UK
“
Tanzania has to be the best country in Africa for wildlife and a
safari with GFS the best way to see it. Some of my most memorable
times have been with Nigel Perks - watching a cheetah hunt in the
Serengeti, spying on elephants relaxing in a Ruaha sunset, bird
watching at dawn in the Selous, listening to owls in Katavi. Nigel
has the eyes of a hawk, knows his stuff and effervesces with enthusiasm.”
Michael Woods, UK (Africa addict and travel journalist)
“ I very much hope we can work again with Gibbs in the future - it is a truly superb operation.”
Mark Beaman, Managing Director ~ Birdquest Ltd. UK
“ And then there was Kappia, a most friendly, knowledgeable guide and safe driver with whom the family
shared a good laugh during our lunches, diners together and in fact throughout the whole safari, while comparing
our way of family communication, European lifestyle and the Tanzanian way.”
Dr. Rob Bernardus, Physician Netherlands
