Antonio from El Salvador - COP 17 Conference 2011
On behalf of all my friends, part of the El Salvador's delegation to climate change negotiations that took place in Durban, we wanted to thank you for all the effective, kind and unconditional support that you provided each one of us while fulfilling our task. Your excellent service was really critical to the success of our mission in Durban.
Let us thank you for this once more while wishing you and your families all the best of health and prosperity for the New Year with all best wishes,
Antonio

Julie Lennox - Support during COP 17 Conference.
Thank you SO much for all the support during the COP 17 Conference.
As you will have seen in the news, the results were disappointing in that the big green house gas emitters managed to put off reducing their emissions until about 2020, bad news for all of us. We will be negotiating over the next years and hopefully people will wake up more to the threats to all of us. But all your support really made a difference to our work, so we are really really appreciative. Congratulations for such a great service!!! I hope to be back but for fun and a safari.
Best Regards and my best for Christmas and New Year´s.

Dan Veitkus
My wife and I would like to express our complete satisfaction and pleasure with the services provided by your firm. In particular, Jac was a most excellent and informative guide...we can't imagine a better person to lead a group through the tours we arranged. His passion for the history of the country, his knowledge of the Heritage sites and his prompt and courteous service stands alone.
As you may know, a portion of our trip was managed by another tour group and I can assure you without hesitation that Southern Circle will remain our only recommend to others and I intend to use your services for both personal and professional requirements in the future.
Thank you and best regards,
Marilyn & Riccy Jack
My husband and I had a wonderful tour down the Garden Route with Yvonne.
We felt we had to let you know what a special lady you are employing as she couldn't do enough for us. She was always looking ahead and trying to fit in anything we wanted to do. She is a very caring person and we enjoyed sharing our holiday with her.
The tour was brilliant and we saw everything we wanted. The accomodation was varied and interesting. la Plume was brilliant and Corlu was a great host. We were made to feel special and it was great. The ostrich farm was great fun too.
To be honest we are so glad we picked your tour to go with and we will certainly recommend you to anyone we know who wants a tour like this.We loved everywhere we went.
Thank you for not letting us down but in fact exceeding our expectations. Lots of thanks goes to Yvonne for being such a great ambassador for South Africa and for being such a caring person.
Best wishes from Bonnie Scotland

Hi Nic,
Jessica and I would like to thank you and your fantastic staff of guides for one of the best trips we have ever taken. We had a fantastic experience from the first day through the last. You are to be commended on the quality and expertise of your guides.Your organization and itineraries were superb. We really feel that we have come to know your country far better than the western media presents it. We wish you continued good luck in your business endeavors and we will certainly recommend you to any and all interested in a South Africa tour. Thanks again for everything.

Erik van Dort
After 11 years we returned to south africa for a 2nd holiday. We were happy to see Southern Circle was still around. Booked and paid with them via the internet. All our desires very full accomodated in a customised travel scheme. All hotels very excellent picks. Our combination of guided tours in/around Capetown followed by drive yourself with pre-booked hotels along the Garden Route and Addo was very well organised. Very kind and knowledgable guide. Great tips on things to do and hwere to eat. At any moment in time either in presence or via mail or phone great service was provided. Thanks Southern Circle it was superb!

We wish you all a fantastic 2011!
Norm and Lil Stevens, Southern Circle Tours and Safari Testimonials
We enjoyed every minute! Our trip was beyond what I expected. Your tour guides have vast knowledge.
We saw animals very up close and personal; the accommodations were excellent (especially Simola); the transportation was set up and organized to suit our itinerary; the weather threatened but cooperated (sometimes at the last minute); and the scenery along the way was spectacular. The Drakensburg Boys Choir was super excellent!
In summary, you did a great job getting us into several countries (we did take the day trip to Chobe and it is recommended) and setting up all our requested stops. One thing we found out for your future information is that in going to Zambia to catch our flight to Johannesburg - they would not issue a day trip visa for $20, they insisted on the $50 version. Lil was apprehensive about the trip and she gave it a thumbs up. We had a few glitches, but in retrospect that is what makes traveling interesting.
Thanks again for all your work.

Belgian School of Kinshasa, Southern Circle Tours and Safaris, Testimonials
The Belgian School of Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of the Congo) was very happy and highly satisfied with the school trip organized by your agency. Accommodation, transport, food, you just name it: everything was perfect.
We would like to thank your two guides, Bo Lensink and Rean Engelbrecht, in particular. They have proved to be excellent tour guides. As we told you on the way to Cape Town airport, we kindly baptised them "Bunji jumping tour engineers" because of their flexibility and their friendliness. They were always there to lend an ear.
On out trip to Seal Island we came upon the following inscription in the ship's cabin "It's a swell ship to the skipper, but quite a hell to the crew." In our case, we were the skipper and they were the crew, we were the clients and they had to indulge our whims. And they always did it with a smile.
This letter is our mark of gratitude towards them. If our school intends doing another trip to South Africa next year, we will be happy to meet with them again.
