Arriving in Maun I thought it would just be a short stop on the way to my real target - the delta. Instead of that I stayed here for 5 days. In the end the days at The Bridge and in the delta were the best time of my whole journey through southern Africa. Very special thanx to everybody who made me feel like this. I O U so much!

A lovely stay with friendly and very helpful people. We had a great two night mokoro trip, saw lots of animals even though it was not the best time of year to see them. A great experience.........THANK YOU!

Fallen in by accident and stayed on purpose. Wonderful haven with all this info and great people around. Thanks for having us and good luck for your plans and your "construction site". Love to come back and see how it goes. All the best..

I don't really like repeating all the praise and glory directed at Helena and David in this too corny visitors book. Although... o.k., o.k., this place is really cool, super relaxed and the perfect hang-out to explore all the goods this area of Botswana has to offer. I (Joel) might even come back, how is that for a threat.

Where do we start? Where did we start? When??? We arrived on the 5th, planned on staying a night, maybe two. 'Tis now the 18th of May... 13 days in paradise. In a piece of Africa that will always be alive in my heart. [...] So many characters, so many moments of perfect chaos and true friendship. Thank you. We leave this place loving you. I leave this place wanting to come back already.

Dear all at the Bridge,
after a fantastic week here the time to head west has come upon us. New adventures to the Tsodillo Hills and in Namibia will hopefully be as wonderful as the trips here. Fitting in three different tours to the Okavango into 4 days was superb (A scenic flight, two days in a mokoro and a boat trip to Gunns Camp).
And experiencing Bloody Marys @ 8 in the morning was definitely a first!
Until the next time!

Aloha David and Helena

Thank you for completely blowing our minds in the Delta and setting us up with the madman Martin. He added a lot to our wonderful experience with his crazy stories. You have an extraordinary place in paradise and we hope to be back to visit soon. The beauty of the Delta surpassed all expectations. You are a great group of people. Should your plans ever include Hawaii please come and stay with us. You are welcome in our Guest House any time. Thanks again for a trip of a lifetime and many fond memories.

Mahalo, Scott & Sue, Hawaii
