"Firstly I want to thank you on behalf of the group, which I know will be unanimous, for a great trip...It went way smoother than I expected & really hoped for...I was very pleased & impressed with the way that
Silke and you slotted into the group like you had both known us for years. We did not have a group of 11 kiwis & a couple of safety pilots on the trip, we had a group of 13 friends & passionate fliers united!"
"I hope you are up to it again, because we are looking at being on for it again next year."
"Keep on doing what you are doing the way
you are doing it".
Richard & Kim Primrose - Kiwi Tour Leaders
"Phil, Judy, Marlene and I arrived back in NZ last week ending one of our greatest holiday experiences. Thanks again for all your hard work. The game parks were great but my best memories are flying down the Zambesi & Shashe Rivers."
Roy & Marlene Marsden
"...that hasn't stopped us reflecting, looking at photos and pinching ourselves over the wonders of our African trip. Just one of the best and we congratulate you for your excellent organisation and leadership, with the help of Silke and planning with the help of Richard."
Jim & Sue Cleland
"You are not alone in getting your head around the fantastic trip. For Judy and I, it was the best most exciting holiday we have
ever had. Thank you so much for your efforts with us all as it was due to your planning and organisational skill that made it work."

"Thanks again for the perfect organization of our tour - you got exactly the right mixture of careful pre-planning for the major stops and ad-hoc changes to allow for some adventure. And the weather was perfect as well...I also attached the track of our beautiful ZA trip - nice memory."
Martin Endemann
"Thank you for the organisation of our fantastic trip!
In my memories and also in of my daughter's Lisa this will remain forever as a wonderful experience!"
Alberto Boetti
"...it was a wonderful trip! I loved what I've seen of South Africa, the special places we went to, the company and the flying...that flight from Stellenbosch to Joburg; that was awesome and didn't even feel like 7 hours to me..."
Lisa Boetti
"Just a line to say thank you for arranging a fantastic and most memorable holiday in South Africa for all of us. I think it is something which we will all remember and talk about for years to come and I should'nt be surprised if at least some of us will be back again"

"Die Tour war
perfekt und alles hat super geklappt, nur die Flüge entlang der
Küste mussten wir wegen tiefer Wolken ausfallen lassen. Auch die
Unterkünfte waren toll, am meisten hat uns die Lodge am Fish River
Canyon beeindruckt...Mit Silke haben wir uns prima verstanden, sowohl ich fliegerisch als auch alle zusammen persönlich. Sie war als Eingeborene und auch persönlich eine grosse Bereicherung für unsere Reise.
Vielen Dank für die gute Organisation."
Hermann Andreas (Dec 2010), Namibia C210 safety pilot tour |

"The standard of accommodation you got us was excellent - The Etosha people were waiting on the airstrips for us. FYOO was in bad shape - came in low and slow, in hindsight the road to the airstrip would have been better to land on. I took off from the dirt track next to the runway, very short field technique - up in under 250m . FYNA was well maintained no issues there.
All in all Markus a great trip - thank you very much.

"I had a
wonderfull time. I must thank you for the hours and I am glad that I
made you work hard...Best wishes to Carmen and CC and Pete
and Ariana (?) and ... er ..... well everyone"

"I really enjoyed the trip in South Africa.
Feel much more comfortable in the plane in back here as well now.
See you when we're back. Hopefully within 2 years"

"...würde ich gern einen kleinen Reisebericht über unser phantastisches Flugabenteuer schreiben...Du bekommst auf jeden Fall meine uneingeschränkte Unterstützung."
Thomas Eichmann (April 2009), safety pilot tour |

"We both thoroughly enjoyed the trip...Will contact you in November before we return in Stellenbosch about the use of the aircraft.

"Wir hatten eine grandiose Tour...Nochmals herzlichen Dank für Alles,
Du warst für uns der beste Reisebegleiter, den man sich vorstellen kann.
"
Jürgen Scholle (May 2008), safety pilot tour |

"...Concerning the trip I wouldn't change anything. All places were nice and
different...game viewing was excellent...it was without doubt the best holidays we had in family
and will stay in everyone's memories for ever...Keep going with your business, I'm very impressed
by your entrepreneurship...All the best to you and long life to Bushpilot Adventures...

"Lieber Markus, nochmals herzlichen Dank für den super Fliegerurlaub.
Ich kam gut heim und denke gern an die Zeit in Südafrika. Führen mich meine Wege irgendwann
wieder in die Nähe, komme ich sicher beim netten CC vorbei, um nochmal zu fliegen.
Beste Wünsche...
"
Jürgen Hoppe (March 2008), self-guided tour |

"Hi Markus...CC is a great teacher and unmatched pilot...
One possibility is to engage you and your 182 some time in the future.
"

"Hallo Markus...vermisse ich das südliche Afrika eigentlich schon seit meiner Landung hier wieder...beim Anschauen der Bilder würde ich am liebsten gleich wieder den Koffer packen und runter kommen.
