Karoly, Ingrid and me are so happy and we have enjoyed absolutely 300 % our lovely time in LL, it was far beyond expectations and I can tell you these were already quite high!
It is all very professional, the lodges are beautiful , so spacious and very private, the bedrooms and kitchen are very well equipped and very high quality , bathrooms perfect with the outdoor shower extra and the lovely view over the river and hearing the river flow at night is absolutely wonderful!
The staff are great and so modest, Boima and all do their work with so much dedication and they are so proud of their job!!!
Spencer our ranger was our professor of the bush, he knows everything and told and taught us so much about the animals, birds, plants, grasses, trees and nothing was too much for him, he loves to teach about all these things and we were eager students! He will be a good teacher for Lucky who is still learning, wonderful guys all of them! Spencer has impressed us and a great sense of humor he has! We have seen some beautiful animals like the big herd of elephants with their babies, lots of babies, like a bush buck passing the road when we came back in the evening from a game drive, he was just born and was trying to follow his Mom and Dad, and the baby bushbuck suddenly stopped in the middle of the road, lied down his little legs covering his eyes thinking OH NO they don’t see me I will stay quiet, then it got up stumbling to his Mom and Dad!!! The leopard had been hiding from us, we did not see him but we are sure he has seen us!
Nancy has spoilt us with her lovely cooking every night, it was such a treat to comeback in the evening after the game drive and finding the camp fire glowing and warm, have our drinks around the fire and find our dinner all ready in the oven! She is so lovely and sweet and also very professional. We had beautiful sundowners and sunsets at Lipadi Hill with these endless views and sights, also along the beautiful river looking down hoping to see hippos and crocs!!
It was an exciting experience doing our 4x4 course, changing that big tyre, going through the books and we passed all thre
e of us even Mom!! Congo was surprised I think!!!We met some nice fellow share holders like Bert Klomp and the son and friends of Paul Klomp, we had great evening sitting around the fire, having a great dinner the men had made themselves talking about the beauty of LL, we realize we are very privileged and fortunate to be part of all that beauty and luxury!
I do not regret I stepped into this adventure 2 years ago, there were only papers and drawings of the lodges, but our trust in the people wanting to fulfill their dream was very high and our women intuition was right again! I am absolutely thrilled!!!
Thank you everybody for this great and beautiful work and we realize that everybody has been working very very hard and still is to have completed all as written above so perfect!!!!!!!
We left with pain in our hearts!!! Still missing LL but we will be back!!!
