SELOUS GAME RESERVE, TANZANIA - DEC. 2014

Hi Ravi,

Thank you very much for the birthday message. We had an amazing time at the camp & the staff looked after us very well.

We were lucky to see lions on Alasdair birthday and we celebrated with dancing, singing & cake with all the Serena employes!

We are looking forward to visit a Serena hotel again soon. Thanks for arranging the trip for us!

Best wishes, Gaelle & Ali
