Hi Simone

I would just like to say thank you so much for such an enjoyable trip, the memories of which will be indelibly printed on my mind for years to come! The success and enjoyment of the tour was undoubtedly down to Liz and Phil, our amazing tour guides. From the moment we met them, their enthusiasm and cheerful disposition remained throughout the tour.

Their professionalism and dedication to customer service were outstanding – nothing was too much trouble for them, and their ability to work with such a diverse range of people, keeping everyone happy, must be congratulated!

Their knowledge of the area, their organisational skills, their culinary sklls, their energy levels, their empathy and their amazing sense of humour throughout are only to be admired.

Of course, this is not to detract from the tour itself, which although covered a lot of mileage, was comfortable in the air conditioned vehicle and the added dimenision of having charging stations in seats was so beneficial for those of us who rely on our mobile phones for photography.

The availability of snacks, water and hydralite throughout the journeys was great, as were the loo stops, morning tea and lunches. The camping experience was not onerous at all, with swags being far more comfortable than anticipated!

As for the Kimberley itself, wow! I was blown away by the magical scenery and the fabulous gorge walks, rewarded by the swimming holes to fall into! The variety of locations included in the programme is well-balanced, and I liked the fact that the more hardy/stronger walkers got the chance to do some extra kms in some of the gorges.

The inclusion of the optional heli-flights over the Bungle Bungles was definitely a bonus, and I would recommend anyone doing your tours to take up the option!

Thanks again for a wonderful trip! I already have friends chomping at the bit since seeing my photos on FB, so don’t be surprised if a few more kiwis come heading your way.

Regards
