Dear Marina, Joof, Staff and Hanns-Louis, We can’t believe we're leaving Namibia already. Hunters Namibia Safaris is truly a "class act"... and "quite nice" (...as was thoroughly discussed!!!). So many stories and laughs around the sundowners won’t be forgotten, as well as the 10-Star accommodations and gourmet food. * The hunting, the trophies, Johnnie and Martin, everything we learned out in the bush was just amazing. We can’t begin to tell our friends and family everything we saw, but that’s a good thing actually. One must experience the hunt. Words don’t do it justice. * And the unexpected trip to Swakopmund was the best way we could ever have imagined ending our safari. What a lovely seaside respite. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. It wasn’t only quite nice - it was fabulous. * Hanns-Louis - best wishes for a successful business venture. It was "quite nice" to get to know you. We hope to see you, Marina, Joof, and the staff again. * Your friends always, Florence and Glen Deutsch - Buffalo, MN - USA

Dear Joof, Marina, Hanns-Louis, and Staff. What a fantastic experience your family has created for people to enjoy in Africa. Everything was perfect from the accommodation, food, and real-world bush environment. Your lodge is 5-star and can’t wait to bring Suzy and the rest of my family back to Namibia. * Best wishes and good health, Matt Wiggins - Houston, Texas USA

Dear Joof, Marina, Hanns-Louis, and incredible Staff, This experience far exceeded our expectations!!! From wake-up coffee to a gourmet dinner, each day was filled with a new adventure! * The lovely shopping in Windhoek, experiencing markets and friendly people, was wonderful! * As much fun as it was, I couldn’t wait to get back to the Lamprecht Lodge and the paradise your family has created! * Your staff is unbelievable! They always greeted with beautiful smiles and eager to please. We cannot describe how outstanding everything was. I will be looking forward to the recipes, so that I might attempt to share with my family. * This is not "goodbye", but "until we meet again!" * Kent says he hopes to come to Africa again, so he can come with his family! * Marina - it would be a pleasure to host you in our home when you visit Houston! * Many thanks!!! * Kent and Susan Ostroot - Houston, Texas USA

Dear Joof and Marina, Hanns-Louis and Staff, Where to begin..? The minute we arrived the Spanish expression "su casa es mi casa!" Throughout our time here I truly have felt that I got to enjoy your dream. The accommodations are outstanding, your staff truly glows. I feel the shining loyalty they have for you in the outstanding service they provide to us demonstrates that they are part of your family. The continued surprise photos by the bed, framed pictures always so much detail, food, laundry, flowers, picnics, etc. What a paradise you have created your passion for each other, family, and dreams truly show. * Richard and I leave but will return in the near future. What I can say? I feel like I have discovered and made friends for lifetime. * Buy a goat!! (donkey), Richard and Teresita Roark - Marshall, Texas USA * P.S. Enclosed I leave my business card, but I will write my address in this book. I will end saying ‘mi casa es su casa!’ * Come see us in Pepas. If I can ever help please do not hesitate in calling. * Hanns-Louis, Best luck in your new business adventure. Thanks again for the shopping experience!

Dear Joof, Marina, Hanns-Louis, and the amazing Staff (Johnnie, Martin, Hileni, Hennok, Lahja, Joseph, Bob, Simon, Tilonga, Bernard, and the others whom we did not meet); and also Jack, Dee Dee, and Duke: Where to start and where to end? There are not enough words, nor enough pages in this book to fully express our elation and gratitude for the experience of a lifetime, which you have given to us! We will never, as long as we live, forget our "Virgin Safari"! We can’t imagine a better place on earth to have lost our virginity! You are the most gracious hosts and hostesses we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Your attention to detail is impeccable. Things that some might refer to as "the little things" were HUGE to us and not a one of them went unnoticed by us. You and all of your staff have treated us like royalty from the moment we arrived. We have been completely spoiled! "Buy a Donkey!!!" * The sunrise and sunset here are breathtaking. You truly have created heaven on earth. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. The information, the conversation, the stories and the laughs shared with us will always mean the world to us. We have never eaten such wonderful and delicious food... We will definitely have to pay for that when we get home, but it has been well worth it! * We cannot begin to thank Johnnie and Martin (The A-Team) for everything. The hunting has been so much more than we could have ever imagined. Those two guys are amazing and true professionals. And while they are professionals, they are at the same time, so personable and patient. I (Terri) am forever grateful to Johnnie for always inviting me to go on the stalks with them. I know he probably would have preferred me to stay in the truck and I totally wouldn’t have blamed him! I can’t say thank you enough for him allowing me to experience the hunt first hand with Brent. I will never forget it! "Buy a Donkey" Johnnie and Martin!!! * Marina, you are a beautiful lady, both inside and out. Your wonderful compassion is evident in everything that you are involved in. Your family, your community, and your country are so very lucky to have you. We are so pleased to have had the opportunity to visit the school... heartwarming and eye-opening. We would love to help by sending clothing, but if there is anything else that we would ever be able to help with, please do not hesitate to let us know. * Joof, you sir, are definitely ‘our kind of people’! As we have already said, you and Bret together would probably be a lethal combination! (Naughty Boys!!!). We cannot remember the last time we have laughed so much! LOVE your stories!!! You are to be commended on the business and environment, which you have created. * Hanns-Louis, you are a wealth of knowledge and information, it has been a complete pleasure to have gotten to know you and visit with you. You are a brilliant young man and you will no doubt be very successful in anything that you choose to do. We wish you all the best in your new shotshell business, and then who knows, we may one day see you on TV on one of thee cooking shows as a chef!!! * There is no way that our words or our pictures could ever convey the true image of this paradise to our family and friends. It is our home and dream (if you will have us) to come back again and again, bringing family and friends along with us! * In case you haven’t noticed by now, we do NOT want to leave! We are honoured to have been guests here. Thank you for treating us like part of your family. We hope this to be a beginning of a life-long friendship. You are a fantastic family and Hunters Namibia Safaris is heaven! BUY A DONKEY!!! * Sincerely, Brent and Terri Burkhart – Texas USA* P.S. We look forward to seeing you in January 2014 at the Dallas show. Bring along Joof and we will paint the town RED! Brent.

Dear Marina, Joof, and your wonderful extended family, Thank you so much for making me feel a part of your family. Your world is endearing, comfortable, and intoxicating. I would say your "place", but "world" is more accurate for you have created here a galaxy of hospitality, comfort, love, and affection for the essence of Africa. To say nothing of the amenities here - the wild world that you sustain is remarkable in its abundance and variety. I have hunted around the (other) world, but I can tell you - that your habitat and the animals that occupy it are exceptional. Thank you for sharing it - and them - with me. Your world is truly Transportive - I feel as though I’ve been dropped into another time - where authenticity and warmth are the elements that compose it. * Thanks to Johnny for his sharp eyes, his quick smile, and his exceptional ability to read both people and animals - and bring both together in the same place and time. * I look forward to a long and warm friendship and look forward to introducing my family to yours. * All my best, Andrew McKean - Glasgow, Montana USA

Joof and Marina, Thank you so much for your gracious hospitality on my first hunting adventure in Africa! * Your place is amazing! * Besides the great herds that roam your land, and the incredible hunting with professionals, we laughed and ate and drank our way to a stock of memories that may never be equaled. * I look forward to keeping in touch! * Steve Wagner - Dallas Safari Club
