 Thank you again for all of your work on this trip, and for the great drivers and guides who took care of the group.  I could see this group doing another trip to a different region and will be in touch if they want to.  I'm sure I'll be in touch again soon with some more folks.

 Thanks for making such a great Experience for the Dickers. They texted me from the Paris Airport on the way to Tanzania and said they had a fantastic time. Liked the driver and all the wineries you planned. They gave the trip a 5 star. Thanks for making another happy client.
