We were touched by this beautiful story sent to us by Julie Snyders about a special friendship and her love for the Kruger Park.

Last year former TV personality Rita van den Heever went on her first camping trip, but it definitely won’t be her last.

Rodgers Hobyane and Elina Mona know exactly what customer service is about. Anyone who has ever been to Tsendze rustic camp in the Kruger National Park can tell you that.

That’s why it’s no surprise that year after year both of them win achievement awards for outstanding customer service. Rodgers also received a SANParks’ Kudu Award in 2010 for excellence in the workplace.
