Hi Rose,

 

All the best for 2012!

Thank you very much for a fantastic and most enjoyable holiday at Sandies Mapenzi Beach Club in Zanzibar, wow!

It was incredible, the hotel was really awesome, the food, rooms and service was really out of this world and the sightseeing was unbelievable. We went to Stone town for a tour and shopping and it was an incredible experience.

 

Once again, thank you and we will go again...soon!

Goeiemiddag Dawie, 

Ek wou al vroeer die week ‘n e-pos stuur, maar die realiteite van terugwees na vakansie het sy tol ge-eis. Ek wil net baie dankie se vir jou professionele reelings en alles wat bygedra het tot my en Nico se onvergeetlike vakansie in Zanzibar. Ek wil al vir 20 jaar Zanzibar toe gaan en het baie drome en verwagtinge gehad. Die vakansie wat jy vir ons gereel het, het al daardie verwagtinge oortref! Stone Town het ‘n bekoring wat nie maklik oorvertel word nie en Mapenzi is alles uit ‘n brosjure en nog meer! Weereens baie dankie jy het ‘n (gewoonlik moeilike) klient baie gelukkig gemaak.  

Ons beveel jou oral aan en sal in die toekoms graag van jou gebruik maak vir toekomstige besoeke. (Ons beplan klaar om die kinders Zanzibar toe te vat en dan natuurlik die migrasie in Serengeti!)

Vriendelike groete, Elma Swart

Hi Rose,

Thanks for your sms sent last week on our return.
The trip for the whole group was absolutely fantastic with no problems at all and everyone really enjoyed it. The staff at Mapenzi's were really warm and friendly and made us feel very welcome from the minute we arrived and payed a lot of attention to our wedding ceremony needs, even the chef gave his personal input and really made an effort, not only at every meal , but particularly our dinner later the night after the ceremony.

I wish I could go back  it was really the most relaxing time I have had in ages!

Thank you for being so efficient with your organizing of the trip, it was well planned and ran very smoothly.
Precision Airways flight was delayed by nearly 2 hours on our return, but that was maybe a good thing, because it split the waiting time from the stop over flight from Dar Es Salem.
( The extra time spent at the airport was put to good use by playing around in the airport wheelchairs!)
Thanks again, and we have passed you name on to some more people, hopefully they will bring you some more business.
Attached are some pics of Sandies mapenzie and the surrounds.
Best regards,
Anthony

Hi there Rose

Hope you had a good holiday – we really, really did!! Many thanks for your part in arranging it.  It was a good combo – doing Stone Town and Mapenzi and I would recommend it (in fact Nicole and I wish we had had more time in Stone Town to shop in the market and to see more of the architecture). Livingstone pub on the beach was just the best and many Tuskers and Kilimanjaro beers were had!!

Just attached a couple of pics – the only 2 I have of all of us.  Nic took about 600 photos, so am sure she will have some good ones to send you.

 

Have a lekker day,

regards Sue x

Hi Dawie


We had a wonderful time in Zanzibar and are quite sad to be back! 

We were greeted at the airport by your representatives, who were so helpful, friendly and professional. They explained our itinerary for our entire trip and double-checked that everything was in order. They dropped us off at Dhow Palace and made sure we checked-in okay. We were greeted by friendly staff and immediately made to feel welcome. The hotel was comfortable and perfect for the two days we spent in Stone Town. We did a Stone Town tour the following day and they were great. Our guide was very informative and friendly.

Amanda Roets at Sandies Mapenzi Beach Club
After our stay in Stone Town we were transferred to Mapenzi. This resort was absolutely wonderful and exceeded our expectations in many ways. The staff were so friendly and always went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Everyone from the reception, bar, waiters, spa and beach staff were great. The food was delicious and we always enjoyed our meals. The resort has beautiful ocean views and the beach is absolutely breathtaking. We will definitely return to Mapenzi. We enjoyed every second !
Thank you so much for all your trouble and for making our trip so effortless! I will definitely recommend you to friends and family and make use of your services again in the future!

Kind regards,
Amanda & Derron

Hallo Dawie

Jammer ek kom eers vandag terug na jou toe - maar ja Maandag terug op kantoor met 2000+ e-posse en hope werk!  Vandag is dit effens beter en ek kan darem lig in die tonnel begin sien hoop en vertrou net dit is nie nog 'n ou met 'n lig wat my soek vir nog werk nie.  Ek stuur vir jou een foto (darem beter as my paspoort foto) sodat jy kan sien hoe die lewe nou eintlik behoort te wees :)   Baie dankie nogmaals van beide myself en Alora vir 'n ongelooflike heerlike vakansie.  Die relings was puik en die gidse was wonderlik.  Die eerste dag het die bestuurder van die Taxi sommer die "spice" toer met ons "onoffisieel" gedoen wat heerlik was.  Juma wat ons gids was in Stonetown dierbaar en baie hulpvaardig, so ook Seif wat ons op die Dhow sunset cruise geneem het.

Jy moet maar kontak hou en wanneer daar weer "specials" opduik my laat weet, dalk gaan ons sommer volgende jaar weer!

Lekker dag!

Greetings / Groete

Hi Rose I!!!!

So sorry for the late email reply. Not to worry, was an absolutely lovely wedding and holiday. Mapenzi was exactly what we were looking for, the staff were super friendly and helpful, the food was amazing (both of us have expanding waistlines to prove it, lol) and the rooms were neat and clean and always full of fresh flowers which I really loved.

As for the wedding, everything went smoothly, with some hiccups as to the hairdresser (given the wrong resort name-quite funny actually :-) and the cake not at all like the picture (but tasted great nonetheless), but we honestly didn’t mind, the wedding was even better than what we had planned and I'm still missing the crisp white beaches and permanently perfect weather. 

Katherine de Beer Wedding group at Sandies Mapenzi

Only poo thing were the flights, had a 3 hour delay when we were leaving SA to Zanz and a 2 hour delay on our return.

Must also compliment the ground transfer staff who were always smiling and on time and didn’t leave until we were all checked in which I thought was very nice of them.

Can't wait to go back one day, was a dream wedding. Thank you so much !!!!!!

Love

Katherine and John

Goeie more! 

Wil net se ons is terug van Zanzibar, ongelukkig! Ons het 'n FANTASTIESE tyd gehad en baie bly dat ons toe wel besluit het om te gaan.
Ons het Stone Town vreeslik geniet en sal beslis as ons ooit weer gaan langer daar oorbly. Sandies Mapenzi was heerlik en diens, kos en verblyf uitstekend. Het beslis 'n paar rolle aangesit! 

Baie dankie vir al die reelings en vriendelikheid Dawie, ons beveel julle beslis aan en sal in die toekoms as ons weer toer weer van julle gebruik  maak. 

Lekker dag en groete uit die Kaap!

Hi Rose

 

Im sooo sorry for this very late email, but better late than ever.

 

With us being in the industry we can be very critical and demanding.

From the first time I spoke to you with our plans to the day of departure you have made our honeymoon one that we will never forget. Thank you to you and your team for putting such a fantastic trip together.

The transfers were hassle free and our guide Mwalimu Zahour “Teacher” was amazing always willing to help. I would highly recommend him to your future travelers. No matter what the job he was there.

Willem and Natalie Gouws at Sandies Mapenzi 

Accommodation:

Tembo Hotel, was fabulous it was simple, which was perfect for us, food and hospitality of the staff was great. I would however love to have spent an extra night as 2 nights is just to short to see and experience everything.

Sandies Mapenzi beach, was also great. I did however ask them to move us to another room as our was right next to the main area and was pretty noisy. But the staff was amazing. Food was great (picked up a few kgs L). Never thought I would see so many South Africans. But we really enjoyed it

 

We did so many activities which was amazing , Willem swam with the dolphins , while I fed the fishes but the staff who ran the operation was so helpful and accommodating.

We never expected our honeymoon to be so amazing and to this date there are no words to describe it.

 

Once again a big thank you for organizing this for us

 

We hope to speak to you in the future with regards to another trip

 

Take care

Willem and Natalie
