    The African safari was beyond our expectations in every way. Full on, but so well organised. We would recommend Midlife Madness to anyone who enjoys wildlife – we certainly got our fill of them and came home well satisfied. Great, great trip.
    Norma & Trevor

    I am still on a high! The trip was fantastic – so well organised and run. Such great memories and a wonderful tour group. I still marvel at all the up-close-and-personal wildlife we saw. My appreciation to you both.
    Joyce

    Thanks for your companionship and friendship on the safari. It was certainly an amazing experience. As a lone traveller, there’s always some uncertainty as how to fit in with a group, but I found this went fine, and I am especially grateful to you both.
    Margaret

    Africa was absolutely fantastic! Hopefully we will catch up again …
