GBOur African safari was the first time… Our African safari was the first time Rhonda had ever taken a group to Africa. We learned that "Westerners have watches, Africans have time." Not every activity planned, occurred on time or as planned. But, I feel, that Rhonda tried to accommodate as many of the group's (41 in all) particular wishes as possible. I do think some information should be communicated up front regarding the differing room accommodations, and discounted differential computed for those willing to bunk in the outskirts of camp. The meals were phenomenal as we had a master chef of native game preparing every delicacy. (Lodge should invest in a large coffee pot, though, for availability of fresh coffee rather than instant.) The weather was perfect and we were adequately advised to pack accordingly. Also helpful tips were communicated regarding options to do during layover in England. All in all, I think Rhonda did a fabulous job coordinating all the activities and keeping us informed of changes as they came up in itinerary.

GBThis was one of our best trips ever This was one of our best trips ever! It was well worth the cost of the trip. The staff was exceptional. Russ and Rhonda both did an outstanding job in organization and Russ did an Incredible job in teaching us about the Canyon. Another special part of the trip to me was the times of people sharing their testimonies; I think it formed a closeness in the group because someone else story encouraged others and help some to see that we all need love, care and support from others.

GBGreat people Great people, good accommodations, excellent teaching, right pace. I'm not fond of riding on buses, but it did give me a chance to have some great conversations and make friends with some wonderful people. The food was okay, but then I'm picky because I'm from a place where there are a lot of great restaurants.

GBWe traveled to Ethiopia with Living… We traveled to Ethiopia with Living Passages and had an incredible trip. This destination is still building it's tourism sector. Living Passages found us the best places they could and took us to the best sites imaginable. We are VERY happy with our trip and would recommend the Ethiopia trip to anyone who is an experienced traveler. All problems were handled without us even knowing. We had great guides and the best vehicles available. Obviously, they know their destinations!!!!

GBGreat trip Great trip - I enjoyed having the three meals a day and not having to find a place to eat for lunch. It was nice being able to sit with different travelers at a peaceful lunch each time getting to know them better. I did miss having time to get a postcard or two at a lot of the stops. I think I have some nice photos. I was delighted that I had a great roommate and didn't have to pay the single supplement.
