Mr and Mrs Gordon:

We travelled with Brian and his team in November last year and too be honest we never knew what to expect. Although the weather was a little cool the game viewing was certainly not, we saw everything from Cheetah to a beautiful Leopard in a tree. Nick is an avid photographer and the opportunities he got provided him with wonderful images. Thanks to Brian, Dean and all the rest of the wonderful team for making our trip so amazing. I will never forget it as long as I live especially that Elephant!!!! Hope to see you all again in Africa soon. Here are some of Nick’s pictures.

Mr and Mrs Hauser:

This was our third trip with Brian and as per usual he managed to keep us enthralled for the duration of the five days. Every time we have been back he has managed to show us something we have never seen before, this time was no different. On our third day and as promised Brian found a wonderful pack of Wild dogs, this has been our dream for many years and it was worth the wait. Thanks to Open Skies for all their efforts and especially for the Wild Dogs! Brian we can’t wait to see how you are going to top this one on our next trip.

Ms Brady:

As a single traveler you are never sure of what the next option is as far as Safari is concerned. Well Open Skies was the perfect option, not only was the guides and staff extremely friendly and knowledgeable but the couple I met on the trip have become close friends since. Brian’s knowledge and personality certainly made the trip for me as he made it fun and easily to digest as well as being extremely knowledgeable and professional. We joked that we would catch him out with a question he didn’t know and when Jim asked him about the stars we thought we had him but he wowed us with a tour of the night sky that still leaves me speechless. The surprises and attention to detail was immaculate and I look forward to hopefully returning in the not too distant future.

Mr and Mrs Green:

I am writing this on behalf of my wife and I as I actually was against this trip from the beginning. I wanted to go to a lodge and be in one place for the entire time whilst my wife loved the idea of a mobile adventure. Once again she was right, this was one of the finest experiences of my life and having been on Safari before that is saying a lot. The game, the guide, the food and wine, the entire experience start to finish was professional and of the highest service. I am not the easiest man to please but this was worth every penny. Thanks to Brian and his team for an excellent time.

Mr Le Roux:

I travelled with Open Skies with three of my friends to experience a mixture of game and Golf in South Africa and that was only the half of what we got. Thanks to Brian’s humor we had many a laugh and his encyclopedic knowledge we had a fabulous time. The only problem is that now I have to return with my wife and kids as they tend to think I have embellished all the tales I returned with. A wonderful experience with some of the finest golf course’s I have played, some of the Finest wines I have drunk with some of the best game viewing I have experienced. Truly first class.

Mr Carnegie and Ms Sampson:

My Girlfriend and I travelled to Africa for adventure and adventure we found. Mountain biking in the Wilds of Kruger, Tracking Rhino on foot in the Timbavati and dinning under the African skies with Hyena’s whooping in the background these are but a few of the memories I will remember from my time with Brian and Dean. Thanks very much from the both of us and sorry we kept you up so late, but those delicious South African wines you kept feeding us couldn’t be missed.
