Kate we are going to miss you so much. I feel quite sad writing this. You are such a special person. Our visits will not be the same without you. It was so nice to have dinner with you and share our stories. I loved your blogs, specially the ones that made me proud to be a South African. We wish you all of the best in your new venture. Hope to see you again someday in this beautiful country we call home.

Thank you for your special message. I have so loved our dinners together and always look forward to your visits. Please stay in touch. I hope to see you and Des soon. With love, Kate

This was such a well written blog with 10 powerful lessons that everyone can learn from. Good luck to you in your future endeavors!

Thank you so much Loretta. I am so glad you enjoyed the piece.

Beautiful Kate – thank you for sharing! Have a blast on your new adventures!

Thank you Jenifer, please stay in touch. Always sad to say goodbye!

Thank you Allan, you will be missed. Thank you for the delicious champagne. It was so lovely to see you again.

I always enjoyed your articles and photos.
So, thank you and good luck on whatever you choose to do, lass.

Thank you so much for your lovely message. 🙂

Thank you Kate, I think you helped me with my photos and introduced me to Lightroom.
I would like to add my memory of the 2014 fire and I am sorry to embarrass Mr Smit at this point.
We were on a game drive with him and saw the flames , the smoke was that bad that my eyes started smarting and crying. I should say that I was there for a week and after a few days my eyes normally start to dry up, so they were drying up just as massive smoke got in them.
Simon didn’t come down for dinner, instead he went off to fight the fire. I don’t know what time he would have finished but guess it was somewhere about 11.30-midnight.
The following morning I wasn’t expecting to see him as I thought he should at least be catching up on his rest.
Instead there he was , smart and with a shirt pressed so smartly he could have been in the military.

On a personal level all the best for the future. I suspect working at Londolozi means working a lot of hours but you learn an awful lot during the time you are there

Kate, like all your other blogs, your final contribution is moving and beautiful. Your work at the creative hub was inspirational to me when I visited, and clearly inspiring to so many others who spent time in your warm creative company.
Your life must be forever richer from your time at Londolozi.
Thankyou again, and my very best wishes for you and your future.

Thanks Kate Takes me back to memories of my many days in the bush. Many of them at Thornybush and in Zim near the Chimanimani mountains

Thank you Fred. I would love to hear more of your bush stories – hopefully soon on another trail!

HI KATE,
THANK YOU FOR A WELL WRITTEN BLOG AND FOR SHARING YOUR THOUGHTS AND MEMORIES OF LONDOLOZI.
YES LONDOLOZI IS SUCH AN INCREDIBLE PLACE, WITH THE MOST AMAZING PEOPLE!
I WISH YOU WELL IN YOUR FUTURE AND HOPE THAT YOU FIND LOTS OF HAPPINESS IN YOUR LIFE AHEAD.
KEEP WELL, AND THANKS FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE WHILE AT LONDOLOZI.
BEST WISHES, TED.

Thank you, Kate, for such a thoughtful blog as you leave Londolozi. You beautifully express so many of my thoughts about Londolozi and the bush that I have struggled to explain to people here in California when they question my desire to return so often. I don’t know of your plans, but I do know that you’ll always carry Londolozi with you wherever life takes you in the future! Much luck!
