Jen Mitchell & friends, Zimbabwe 18 July 2023
Dear Jackie and Mark. Thank you both so much for arranging such a wonderful 'special offer' break away for us to visit Kariba. We had such a marvellous time and were so thankful that we did not have to drive ourselves on that dreadful busy road. Our young chauffeur Dillon was an extremely careful driver and what a pleasant caring and helpful young man he is. The fact that transport was available for us to do a little sightseeing was an added bonus. Our accommodation was lovely and comfortable and what a lovely view of the lake we had. The food delicious and your staff could not have been more helpful and kind to us "oldies". All in all it was a holiday one dreams of having everything done for you. Wish we could have stayed longer. Having your well stocked little shop there too is so handy. We cannot thank you enough for giving us this amazing opportunity. We will certainly spread the word around.Take care, Kindest regards, Jen Mitchell

Thank you Mark and Jackie and your team for making Arls and my day so special, Leo and his team saw to our every need and all the logistics that Norman and you two arranged was outstanding. The venue speaks for itself, the view, the pool, the veranda, aircon rooms were perfect. All our guests were blown away. UK, SA and even the locals were very impressed. Fisherman's Cove offers everything that we required for our wedding Thank you again.
