Liewe Haydn, Christie, Sasha, Joshua, Vincent, Pieter, Francis, Mittah, Simon, Paulina & Isaac,

Na twee jaar se wag kon ons uiteindelik by die Pitse Lodge kom. ’n onvergeetlike herinnering vir ons. Regtig alles was perfek.

Jou toewyding en omgee vir ons het dit alles wonderlik gemaak. Die safari uitstappies saam met Haydn was super cool met natuurlik die hoogtepunt om die luiperd te sien (met die hulp van die giraffe).

Nog ’n hoogtepunt of hoogtepunte was die ontbyte, middagetes en beslis die aandetens wat Francis gemaakt het. Ons het nog te goed sy raps, maar sy kos is Michelinster waardig.

Dankie weereens vir almal.

Ons wens jou sukses toe in die komende tye, beide by die werk en privaat.

Ons sien uit daarna om oor drie jaar terug te kom en hoop om jullie almal weer te sien.

What can we say… coming here was like coming home, and being with all of you was like being with Family. This lodge is truly an exceptional place and we have loved every minute of our stay. Francis’s food spoiled for every other meal to follow, and Vincent and Pieter and the rest of the Staff took such amazing care of us. I would write pages more if it were not time to go… 

We love you guys, you truly are the best!

What a totally unique place! We have stayed in probably 30 – 40 lodges and camps in East and Southern Africa over the past 30 years, but none of them compare to Pitse in atmosphere and comfort! Yes – there lodges that are… beautifully designed, built and furnished to this quality, but it is the welcome, personality and sheer enthusiasm to give guests such a great time that is exceptional.

And what a complementary couple Christie and Haydn are with such a range of skills between them, not to speak of the wonderful team, both behind and in front of the scenes.

In the days we were here we saw 33 mammal species, something that would only happen in perhaps two other parks in Africa – the Okavango and the Serengeti.

The food, created by Francis puts many 5 star hotels to shame and the efficiency of the staff waitering on us hand to foot – shows the superb training they have obviously had.

Thank you so much Pitse Team for an unforgettable experience and thank you Tet for telling us about your amazing place.

Christie and Haydn.

We got back from Namibia/Botswana a couple of days ago and I wanted to immediately thank you both and your staff for a truly wonderful stay at Pitse. The other three lodges we visited were good but none of them touch Pitse in terms of the ambience, hospitality and sheer ‘homeliness’ that you two embrace. It’s such a pleasure and honour to have this wonderful place to oneself for a few days.  The wildlife tourism scene in Africa is getting so crowded and over commercial these days that it is almost impossible to experience that feel of really getting  away from a human dominated  environment and become immersed in pure nature.  Pitse does that so well and you two are the engineers of that experience there.

We very much hope to return one day probably with family members if you can put up with us.   In the meantime please stay in touch with any news and thank you both once again.

Dear Christie, Haydn and Staff,

Thank you so much for this wonderful, peaceful and speechless experience… Thank you so much for arranging our “best day in life”… We are grateful that all of you were part of it, it couldn’t be better…

If we think of all the things you did for us, it makes us speechless… for this wonderful, peaceful and speechless experience.

You want to make Pitse Lodge a luxury home far away from home, and you do that perfectly!

We are happy to be one of the “Pitse Family”

Christie, you are such a warm woman… your kindness and taking care of us makes us happy and gives us a warm feeling…

All your help with the wedding, and especially how you dressed our room for dinner after the wedding, makes us feel very special…

Haydn, the first impression was directly a perfect hit… It feels like we have so much in common like we already know each other for years already…

Your game drives and bush-tracking skills are phenomenal… You can feel your passion the whole drive…

Our talks, and just enjoying nature were also fabulous…

I can just keep writing, but I think you know exactly what we mean…

To the staff we want to say a big thank you, the warm feeling you gave us made us feel so special…

We know that you all work very hard and that makes it more special, that you gave us the Family and home feeling as well…

Sadly it is time to say goodbye, but we are very grateful that we have met you all and this place…

It’s not a farewell, but a goodbye…

See you next time…

Dear people of Pitse Lodge,

We want to thank you for all the kindness and caring during our stay.

We enjoyed the amazing environment, the delicious food, the wonderful

views and the great drives… The team gave us a warm welcoming feeling…

We wish you all the best!

Dear Haydn, Christie, Vincent, Pieter, Francis & Others,

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay at Pitse Lodge.

Our love for Africa, her people and wildlife has been planted forever in our hearts.

Dear Haydn, Christie & Staff,

We’re so happy to be here again!

There were so many great sightings and adventures.

Hope to plan to be back for the 3^rd time…”

To my dear friends from Pitse Lodge,

We got married here in 2019 with our friends. Now we come back to our friends.

Bear and I just wanted to show our dearest friends this lodge and the most friendly people who run it.

Dear Christie and Haydn… Thank you so much for showing us and our dearest friends in the world, this amazing Paradise.

You, your kids, always have a home away from home at our place in Holland.

You have a big place next to our friends, in our hearts and… once you get into our hearts… you can never leave!”

Dear Christie, Haydn & Staff,

The stay was amazing. Everything was excellent from start to finish and I definitely cannot wait to come here again.

Let me know when you are travelling to the NL, and if I can assist you with a plane 🙂
