Hallo there, we watched 50/50 last night and my oldest son 9, has to do a project at school - a hero. He suggested you....Makes you think if a 9 year old boy can see the difference you guys are making!!!!

Good luck and God bless!!!!!

Welcome home to all of you!
I have been following your travels very closely, all the way round,
and have nothing but admiration and respect for
all the work that you and your team have done.

I look forward to the book, when it hits the shelves.
I also look forward to the possibility of a beer and a braai at John
& Kathy's next time I am in SA.

Best Regards from the Munro family.

Howzit my China,
 
You folk are truly amazing. Keep up the good work.
The world cup did wonders for us as a people. We all forgot about
Our troubles & woes for some days.
Maybe the government should acknowledge you to the people for
Inspiration and to remind all of us that our problems are "TINY"
Compared to those of the people north of us.
 
Fondest to you all

Dear Kingsley and Team,

We are wondering where you are today.  My Mom, brother and I are trying to track you on your website, but the last we can see is that you were in Guinea in December 2007.  Best wishes to you and your team for the rest of your journey!

Regards

Hello--

I hope your journey is continuing to be successful. I was wondering about what month you think the expedition will make it around to Kenya, going at your current pace.

Thank you,

Hi Kingsley we met at the Bom Bom lodge in Principe, I wished I had had more time to sit and talk with you as ive lived in this part of Africa for 13 years, however as you possibly noticed I was a bit focussed on the amazing marlin fishing. Good luck with the trip and I you get back up (or down) this direction give me a call. Good luck with the trip.

To the Holgate Family

Congratulations to you all!!! Another spectacular adventure!! Oh how I wish that you needed an extra pair of hands… (Mine are available; the local “folklore” of the various people en route would fascinate me, if indeed it even exists today!!!) I will be the first in the queue to purchase your new book!! It would be my absolute pleasure to meet you in person one of these days!! There would be so many questions I would love to ask.

I have also done what is known as “The Great Modern Trek”!!! Was born in Rhodesia, moved to SA am now living in Australia (and dreaming of the African skies!!!) I don’t know who the pioneer of this modern day trek was, but judging by the amount of people here, I am certainly not the first!!

But it is people like you who breathe life into our very busy, conventional, materialistic lives and for this I salute you and bid you all a blessed, safe, fascinating and adventurous journey!!

Millions of hugs

Hi there

Just a word of thanks to Ross and the team whom we met in Halali camp (Etosha) during their 2-day break, waiting for Kingsley to return before going back to Angola.

They were kind enough to give us a course of anti-biotics to help cure a bronchitis that was threatening to turn into something nasty. It certainly rescued our holiday! We are back home now and are following your journey with great interest.

Wishing you all the best and looking forward to the next book on your adventures.

To the Holgate Family

Hi guys!! Hope you are having a wonderful time on the expedition. Although you don’t know me, ( I have met you ,Kingsley – have your autograph from the airport in JHB) I would like to wish you all an unforgettable, safe and exhilarating journey around Mama Afrika! Your family is an absolute inspiration to me, I have all your books, know most of the words on the DVD’s and follow your adventures avidly!!! Maybe one day if all my dreams turn to reality our paths will cross in some remote village or dusty road somewhere on this wonderful continent of ours!

I admire the fact that you have followed your dreams and taken the risks you have in order to live the life that you do, I only hope that I have the courage to pack it all in and do the same!

May your journey be filled with peace, wonderful new experiences and success in the expedition objectives.

Kind Regards,

Yvette Frolik

Hi Kingsley, Gill, Ross & the rest of the expedition team,

I met you at the departure of your previous Rainbow “One net one life expedition” – at Imax – many moons ago!!!!!

I was also in Camps Bay – when the 347 Landies drove past –WOW that was so amazing, I was VERY tempted to stop one and hop on board. Once again I admire what you guys are up to – I think you are a true inspirations to ALL fellow South Africans, and I wish you and your family a safe journey.

If you have any space – give me a holla – I will be there in a heart beat

Take care

Hi Kingsley, Gill and Ross,

Thinking of you and we know that yours will be an extra ordinary success, as usual. 'wonder if you will come accross a "Gabriel" in Angola' such as the one we met that morning in Mozambique many years ago on the very first adventure on the beach, with gumboots and cane knife in hand.

Fondest,

Bob & Lorna Browning
