"Lindi Weeks has been assisting us in planning a 4 day safari in the Klaserie Game Reserve. She has been so amazing, assisting us so beautifully with all the decisions to be made. She fell ill with tonsilitis and not even this stopped her from taking calls to answer all our silly questions, even after hours!! We thank you, Lindi and appreciate you. Onika Amell"
