from my last group to East Africa
escorted
from July 17-Aug 1st, 2009
The thoroughness
and caring at WinWin Vacations is
extremely efficient and well executed.
Thank You also for a splendid "last
evening". I'm in love with our
destination memories of our trip with
Kristina (and Tom). Kim
Our African Safari was absolutely
phenomenal. All aspects from lodging,
food, daily safari schedules, our
wonderful guides, the many and varied
activities were all top notch. Kristina is
extremely knowledgeable about Africa and
all it has to offer. She handpicks the
outstanding guides and therefore provides
spectacular safari experiences. She
therefore provides fantastic activities
and related trips. She provided the trip
of a lifetime for our family and we
recommend her 100% for an outstanding
safari to anyone. She's an outstanding
woman! No-one can top her efforts,
expertise and PERSONALITY! This was our
third African safari and absolutely THE
BEST because of Kristina. She is SUPERB!
Asante Sana Kristina - We love you!

Thank you for
everything; overall our safari was very
nice. Kory
This was the most
memorable trip of my life! I cannot think
of anything that could have made it more
enjoyable. The wildlife that we saw, the
people that we met, and the experiences
that were made will stay with me always. I
look forward to the possibility of
reliving this trip again some day because
I am sure it would be first time
experiences all over again ... Thank you
so much, Katie
An incredible
journey with every detail thought of and
not a thing overlooked. So much more than
I ever expected and very lucky to be with
such an experienced guide, who knew just
how to make our vacation perfect. We were
lead through Africa by very experienced
and skilled, wonderful guides thanks to
Kristina's research and previous
experiences. The best trip and the journey
of a lifetime. Hopefully replicated, but
never duplicated, Kristen
Kristina did a
wonderful job before, during and after the
trip. We had lots of inquires beforehand.
Having you (and Tom), who added a lot, on
our safari made everything go smoothly.
You know so much and so many people and
all the accommodations. I thank you for
your knowledge in planning the
perfect safari for all of us. Carol
I came
home from Africa this time with a heart
full of joy. Seeing all that I did with my
five grandchildren made this safari the
very best. For thirty years, I had hoped
to be able to take them with me to see the
wonders of a safari and I finally made it.
All five loved it as much as I always
have. Kristina, I thank you for making all
this possible. You are truly a fulfiller
of dreams.
Each
day was well planned and we had a
favourite pack - animals, people, customs,
countryside, and marvellous drivers and
guides. Keep doing what you're doing! You
are the best! Mimi
Kristina, the DVDs arrived today with your
note. Our daughter is visiting
and we will be having a premier showing
later this afternoon. Nancy and I
want you and Tom to know how much we
appreciated your attention to detail to
insure we all had the trip of our
lifetime. Please stay in touch and
we wish you and Tom all the best of what
life has to offer. Kim and Nancy
Jambo Kristina
and Tom, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
for the 2 DVD's and the Maasai necklace.
We just finished watching the DVD's and
they ARE GREAT!!! What a wonderful
souvenir of our trip. Thank you
again. It is a treasure. Carol
and Bruce
Dear Kristina,
thanks so much for sending out those DVD's.
We know that we will love them. The
trip was fantastic and we know that
everyone had a ball. You and Tom
were the best and thankfully, you fit
right in. You never know who or what
you are getting with an escort and partner
and we got the BEST of both. We love
you guys and thanks for an unforgettable
trip. Come visit us and let us know
about your next trip to Africa otherwise,
we will do it again in 2 years. Hakuna
Matata!!!! Love, Safari Shell and Ranger

Everyone has been
thrilled with my stories of our safari.
Most cannot even begin to fathom how great
it was. Such a wonderful trip and so many
great memories with my kids. Can't thank
you enough for making it all so grand!
Just one big thank you can't even do it as
the trip was so wonderful. We all have
been raving about it since returning, and,
most of us wish we were right back in the
thick of it all. I shall always
consider this my very best as I had my
kids with me and they loved it so and were
most appreciative of it all. It had been
my dream for thirty years and it did come
true. You and Tom made everything so easy.
So glad you stuck him in your suitcase. We
sure had a great time with you both.
Thanks again for all your efforts and
making our safari so wonderful. My young
friends were excited to hear about the
wonders of Africa and are looking forward
to doing it someday. Mimi
Dear Kristina, Even
though I spoke to you yesterday I just had
to enclose this note to tell you I played
both DVD's twice. They were terrific!
Loved seeing those warthogs running down
the road. I remember thinking "when
are those dummies going to get over?"
I almost went into a trance watching the
kill. Couldn't believe we had seen such a
sight. And the leopard in the tree!
It was all so fantastic and you made every
moment so worthwhile. I could go on
forever, but I think you get what I mean.
Winning a million dollar jackpot could
never equal this trip. Taking my grandkids
was A Dream Come True. Asante Sana, Mimi
Carol and I want to
thank you for such a wonderful trip to
Africa; you really made it happen every
day! Other than jetlag, we're safe at home
and catching up on many chores. We hope
our paths will cross again for another
great trip sometime in the future. Best
Regards, Bruce
Dear Kristina, we hope
you made it home safely. Thank you for the
wonderful trip. Many memories will be
cherished for a long time. It took a few
days to get back to our schedule, but
we're getting there. Thank you for the
birthday party. I didn't expect - hoping
no one would notice! Thank you again,
fondly, Carol
Dear Kristina, It
doesn't seem possible that we have been
back for almost two weeks already. Don't
know where the days have gone but it
surely didn't take long to get back in the
swing of life here at home. Received your
email from Mt. Meru Game Lodge and your
wonderful Thank You card with the group
picture at sunset on the sundowner deck at
Migration Camp and with the kids' picture
inside at the Lake Manyara Serena pool.
How
wonderful to be so talented and to be able
to produce such gorgeous photos and
professional cards. It was great and of
course brought back such warm memories of
our terrific trip. Can't tell you how
wonderful it was to have you and Tom join
our group. You are both so gifted in your
fields and it was a pleasure to be able to
know you better. You added so much to the
safari and we shall always treasure warm
memories of you. We can't believe all we
did, saw and experienced. It was truly a
trip of a lifetime. We also thank you so
much for the farewell party. It was so
lovely and certainly one of the highlights
of the trip - can see the twinkling lights
now. What a wonderful way to end a perfect
trip. We wish you well. You are certainly
a great safari expert and planner. Very
fondly, Nancy & Kim
I just wanted to
thank you again for the wonderful
experience you brought to our entire
family. I never truly could understand the
way people (Mimi in particular) felt about
Africa until I too experienced it. It is
the most incredible and beautiful place in
the world and somewhat of a life-changing
atmosphere. I surely have been bit by the
"African Bug" and cannot wait to
return. Knowing how special the trip was
for Mimi made it all the more wonderful.
Hopefully, in two years, I'll be able to
join you again!! Thank you again, it was
truly remarkable. Kristen
Dear Kristina,
Many thanks by sending me further updates
of Tom's Picasa Web Albums. Yesterday, at
night, I sat down at 11.00 pm to brows the
photos of your TZ safari. I was up till
1.30 am looking at all those fantastic
photos. What a safari you guys head? The
big five, the kill, giant crocks, all
kinds of birds, and Birth Days. I
think next time you guys come, I will have
to try to make an excuse of joining
your group. You had a wonderful safari
because you are a good captain and a good
planner. All our driver guides were
talking very highly about you. I have had
a short report of your safari from Robert,
Haji & Milinga. Cordially ABBA

Jambo Kristina, Greetings
from dusty and cool Arusha. The
guides had really a great time with you
and the clients and their time with this
group remains on their minds. Please
find the attached report. Have a great day
and we look forward to being of service to
you and your clients again, Kind regards,
Evans
Our
Guides also chime in: This report has been
prepared by all 3 of us namely
Haji, Robert and Millinga.
This
group consisted of 14 passengers including
2 Trip Organizers as well as escorts
namely Kristina & Tom. The group
arrived in Tanzania on 17th July 2009 but
we did not meet the clients until morning
of 19th July 2009 when they flew from
Arusha to Serengeti on Regional Air
Scheduled flight. We missed out on
the group's arrival and their excursion to
Arusha National Park as this was done by
other guides. We had traveled
to Serengeti for overnight before heading
off to Kirawira to meet the group.
The safari was really fantastic; our game
drives in West Serengeti were full of
excitement. We saw big crocodiles,
lions, lots of wildebeests etc.
Besides that we explored Serengeti Central
and North where we saw big five plus a few
kills. Kristina was a very fantastic
Escort. We always planned together a
day in advance what we were going to do
the next day. This made our work
easier and more enjoyable. We had a
great teamwork. We worked very hard
to ensure that the group had an unforgettable
safari. Kristina was full of
enthusiasm and she made the safari even
more fun. She distributed literature
on the big five, small five and the green
five. We learned a lot from her.
We dispersed our skills and knowledge and
we found that the whole group had a very
good interaction with us. They were
very pro-active which truly added a
fantastic experience to all of us.
We were sorry to see the group depart on
their last day and we will remember them
for along time. We look forward to
working with Kristina again in the near
future as her leadership was exceptional.
Yours faithfully, Robert, Millinga
and Haji
Dear
Mimi, Many thanks for having taken time to
write to me of your wonderful Safari
experience with Ranger Safaris. First of
all the biggest bonus you had was that you
were travelling with Kristina & Tom.
They have been in this part of the world
so many times that I don't know the
proper count. Kristina also is fussy
regarding the Driver Guides she has. So
you can be rest assured that they are the
best and very organized. We at Ranger
Safaris are also blessed with a very good
team of Guides. We certainly are very
proud of their performance. We look
forward to have you back in near future.
Please keep in touch with Kristina as she
often plans the trips with us. Right now
she is busy supporting our Rotary Club
with our Polio Fund Raiser. Best wishes,
ABBA
I also received several
phone calls with loads of praise and
gratitude! Everyone is so happy. That is
my reward and I want to share with
everyone who made it possible for me to
accomplish it all. Asante Sana .... Kabisa!!!
Excuuuuse
me! That was a lot of good reading!
