BUFFALO RIDGE LODGE, MADIKWE
Our bush experience at Buffalo Ridge Lodge in Madikwe was really wonderful. The information that you gave us was helpful and accurate. Your agent, Tamsyn Ford, was very efficient. We asked so many questions, which she answered promptly. She came back repeatedly with options, different choices and once we'd made our decision, the booking was concluded seamlessly. We have no hesitation in recommending Specials4Africa very highly.

My booking went smoothly and Tamsyn was a good communicator on email. At the beginning when I was looking for information on Nambithi generally I would have liked to have been able to discuss my requirements with a live person.

Dear Penny
Thank you for the positive response; we appreciate the feedback in terms of speaking to a live person. It is not always easy to gauge which clients would like a telephone conversation and which would prefer to communicate via email, so we do offer our phone number to all our clients in the event that they feel the need to speak to our consultants directly. However, we will also have a team discussion on how we can better understand the client’s needs in this regard so we can improve in this area. I trust that the rest of our booking went smoothly and that you will enjoy your holiday and we look forward to hearing from you again.
Tamsyn has been excellent!
