A gift I will forever cherish...
Kishindo Conservation Reserve的点评
点评：I originally discovered Tiger Canyon and it’s successful rewilding projects in 2023, while doing preliminary research for my own safari adventures in Africa. In 2024, I began looking into a special trip to celebrate my 60th birthday during April 2025. I decided on Kruger Park in So Africa. But for some reason, it didn’t feel complete. Then, it came to me… I needed to look back into Tiger Canyon! (Especially since I had already been considering an Autumn trip to see Tigers in India). I discovered Tiger Canyon was only eight hours from Johannesburg. That was when I first met Carryn. Within a day or two, I had confirmed 3-nights at Tiger Canyon! Now, my vacation was exactly what I had hoped for. It might be worth mentioning, I had a couple of travel companions in tow. So, I felt fortunate, when we were told we could all be accommodated in one of the Lodge’s three rooms, (Room 2). We choose a car transfer from Johannesburg Int’l Airport, (8 hours with stops). Upon arrival, we were welcomed at Tiger Canyon by the smiling faces of Sharon and her team. We also received hot towels, and a refreshing beverage. Something we would continue to receive every time we returned to the lodge after drives. Our room, was beautifully appointed and spacious, with a huge balcony overlooking Paaiskloof Canyon, and accessible from the Main Lodge. Also waiting for us, was a very impressive and plentiful charcuterie board filled with many scrumptious options. This was clearly a foreshadowing of the food to come! Every meal was well thought out, beautiful executed, and delicious. (I even received an exquisite Birthday Cake made from scratch, by the Chef). Our game drives, which occur twice a day also delivered beyond expectation. Our Guide (Trevor) was very knowledgeable and with the help of other guides (Greg), provided us with the great fortune of seeing all of the tigers and all of the other beautiful creatures residing at Tiger Canyon. We even spent time outside of our vehicles with the cheetahs, during our 4-day visit. On my last morning, I received devastating news from back home. While I won’t go into details, it only solidified the importance and spiritual impact Tiger Canyon had on me. So much so, I chose to return to Tiger Canyon again this Spring. I worked with the lovely Carryn again, but because I was traveling alone, confirmed Room 3 which has a separate entrance from the lodge. After all, it was not my intention to duplicate my past trip. I was seeking something different this year, So, I also arranged flights with transfers into Bloemfontein instead, (only 2.5 hours away). Due to an unexpected rainy season, I was picked up in Philoppolis. That’s where I met (new Guides to me), Ben and Adolph. While I was originally hesitant about meeting the new guides, I was quickly comforted by their kindness. Upon arrival at Tiger Canyon, I was extremely grateful to be welcomed so warmly again by the familiar smiles of Sharon and Nkozi, accompanied by several new faces smiling just as genuinely, (JR, Renske, and Renee). Just as I remembered, I received my warm towel, my welcome drink, and shown to my equally as incredible room with the full charcuterie board waiting. Slightly smaller than room 2, but equally as charming and more intimate for one, this is where I would stay for the next week! Yes, this year, I would be at Tiger Canyon for an entire week. (Sharing the lodge with 2 people only during the first 2-nights, and then alone with only the staff during the remainder of my stay). Being a single traveler, Sharon arranged for the various staff to join me during meals. At first, I didn’t feel it was necessary, but after the first night, so very happy she had. But before dinner that night, I had my first drive to take. Just like the the year prior, we entered Tiger East and had the incredible fortune of seeing all 4 tigers together again, (Khumba, Kabelo, Matla, and Tala.) That evening, I had the pleasure of dining with Sharon. Not having any distractions of others, it was such a special evening where I was able to learn so much more about Sharon. A gift that will remain with me always. After dinner, the entire staff joined us…for anyone who could have been listening, they would have thought we had known each other for years. That evening when I retired, I knew the week was going to be more special than I could have imagined. The next morning, Ben, Adolph and I were out before dawn. Since Adolph was new to Tiger Canyon, Ben would share his exceptional knowledge of the reserve and provide suggestions in positioning us for the best photography opportunities. It was clear Ben loves his job, and loves sharing the beauty of Tiger Canyon with his guests. Like the first night, the morning drive was amazing! Especially when Adolph spotted a Southern Spotted Eagle Owl soon after entering Tiger West. Surprisingly, each drive after would only prove to better than the one before… if that was a even possible. (Maybe this is a great time to mention, Adolph even spotted an Aardwolf during our last full day while in Cheetah Camp… thank you very much, Adolph!) Because of Adolph’s 16 years of experience and quick learning from Ben’s incredible direction, he was driving solo within just a few drives. During those days, riding with Adolph was not only informative and entertaining, but very memorable. (A special human, with a special gift!) Because I was alone during drives, I was able to request spending as much time to observe and learn from the animals as I wished. Something I think Adolph appreciated, too. But, I also learned the importance of listening to Adolph (and Ben) when they made suggestions which differed from my own. In doing so, my time spent with the animals was some of the most incredible moments of my life… Including, intimate moments with the tigers, especially the elusive Mishka, taking walks with the cheetahs, as well as standing among the cubs while playing around us, and witnessing Sanyati as she set up for a hunt and feasted afterwards with her cubs. To say Tiger Canyon is life changing, is only a small portion of the truth. But, it’s also the time I spent with the new staff at Tiger Canyon that made my stay special. Having one on one time with all of them, I was able take away something special I learned from each of them. I even had the luxury of meeting the owners of Tiger Canyon, Rodney and Lorna. Being such genuine and unassuming people, it is no wonder the staff follows in their steps. Thank you so very much to Tiger Canyon, Ben, Adolph, JR, Renske, Nkozi, Renee, the Chef and her assistant, Carrryn, but most of all to Sharon, for making my stay like no other. I will never forget any of you, and will smile on so many memories we created during my stay. know I may never replicate this journey, but to know I experienced it once is more than I could ever ask for… and a gift I will forever cherish! And a wish I hope others can have during their stay. Forever Fondly, Angie Myers (Vermont USA)
翻译：我最初是在2023年发现老虎峡谷及其成功的野生动物恢复项目，当时我正在为自己的非洲狩猎之旅做前期调研。2024年，我开始计划一次特别的旅行，以庆祝我2025年4月的60岁生日。我最终选择了南非的克鲁格国家公园。但不知为何，总觉得还不够完美。然后，我突然意识到……我应该重新考虑一下老虎峡谷！（尤其是我已经在考虑秋季去印度看老虎了）。我发现老虎峡谷距离约翰内斯堡只有八个小时的车程。就在那时，我第一次见到了卡琳。一两天之内，我就确认了在老虎峡谷的三晚住宿！现在，我的假期终于如我所愿了。值得一提的是，我还带了几个旅伴。所以，当得知我们所有人都能住进旅馆的三间客房之一（2号房）时，我感到非常幸运。我们选择从约翰内斯堡国际机场乘车前往老虎峡谷（含中途停留约8小时）。抵达后，莎伦和她的团队热情地迎接了我们。他们还为我们准备了热毛巾和清爽的饮品，每次游猎结束后回到酒店，我们都会享受到这些贴心的服务。我们的房间布置精美，宽敞舒适，拥有一个巨大的阳台，可以俯瞰帕斯克卢夫峡谷，并且可以从主楼直接进入。此外，酒店还为我们准备了一份令人印象深刻的丰盛冷盘，上面摆满了各种美味佳肴。这显然预示着接下来的美食盛宴！每一餐都经过精心设计，摆盘精美，味道鲜美。（我甚至还收到了一个由主厨亲手制作的精致生日蛋糕）。我们每天两次的游猎活动也远超预期。我们的向导特雷弗知识渊博，在其他向导（格雷格）的协助下，我们有幸看到了老虎峡谷的所有老虎和其他美丽的野生动物。在为期四天的行程中，我们甚至有机会下车与猎豹近距离接触。临行前的一个早晨，我收到了来自家乡的噩耗。虽然我不想详述细节，但这更加凸显了老虎峡谷之旅对我而言意义非凡，以及它在我心中留下的精神印记。正因如此，我决定今年春天再次重返老虎峡谷。我再次与可爱的卡琳合作，但由于这次独自旅行，我预订了3号房间，它拥有独立于旅馆的入口。毕竟，我并不想重复上次的旅程。今年我想寻求一些不同的体验，因此，我安排了飞往布隆方丹的航班，并在那里转机（距离老虎峡谷仅2.5小时车程）。由于突如其来的雨季，我被安排在菲洛波利斯接机。在那里，我遇到了两位新向导——本和阿道夫。起初我对与新向导见面有些忐忑，但他们的友善很快就让我感到安心。抵达虎峡谷后，我非常感激莎伦和恩科齐再次热情地迎接我，熟悉的笑容再次映入眼帘。同时，还有几张同样真诚的新面孔（JR、伦斯克和蕾妮）。正如我记忆中的那样，我收到了温暖的毛巾和迎宾饮品，并被带到我那间同样令人惊艳的房间，房间里已经摆放着丰盛的冷盘。房间比2号房略小，但同样迷人，而且更适合一个人入住，接下来的一周我都将在这里度过！没错，今年我将在虎峡谷待上一整周。（前两晚只和另外两个人合住，之后的几天则只和工作人员一起。）由于我是独自旅行，莎伦安排了工作人员与我共进晚餐。起初，我觉得没必要，但第一晚过后，我非常庆幸她这么做了。不过，那天晚上晚餐前，我还要开车。就像去年一样，我们进入了老虎峡谷东部保护区，并且非常幸运地再次看到了四只老虎（昆巴、卡贝洛、马特拉和塔拉）。那天晚上，我有幸与莎伦共进晚餐。没有其他人的干扰，这是一个非常特别的夜晚，我得以更多地了解莎伦。这份礼物将永远铭刻在我的心中。晚餐后，全体工作人员都加入了我们……如果有人在场，他们一定会以为我们认识很多年了。那天晚上我准备离开时，我就知道接下来的一周将会比我想象的更加精彩。第二天清晨，本、阿道夫和我天还没亮就出发了。由于阿道夫是第一次来老虎峡谷，本会分享他对保护区的丰富知识，并为我们指明最佳的拍摄位置。很明显，本热爱他的工作，也乐于与客人分享老虎峡谷的美丽。和第一晚一样，清晨的旅程令人惊叹！尤其是当阿道夫进入老虎峡谷西部保护区后不久，就发现了一只南方斑点雕鸮。令人惊讶的是，之后的每一次驾驶都比上一次更好……如果这可能的话。（也许现在是时候提一下了，在猎豹营的最后一天，阿道夫甚至还看到了土狼……非常感谢你，阿道夫！）由于阿道夫拥有16年的经验，并且在本的悉心指导下进步神速，他只开了几次车就能独自驾驶了。那段时间，和阿道夫一起驾驶猎豹不仅增长见识、充满乐趣，而且令人难忘。（他是一位特别的人，拥有特别的天赋！）因为每次都是我一个人驾驶，所以我可以要求花尽可能多的时间观察和学习动物。我想阿道夫也很欣赏这一点。但是，我也明白了，当阿道夫（和本）的建议与我的想法不同时，倾听他们的意见是多么重要。与动物们共度的时光，是我人生中最难忘的经历之一……其中包括与老虎们亲密接触，尤其是与行踪隐秘的米什卡（Mishka）的邂逅；与猎豹们漫步；站在幼崽们中间，看着它们在我们周围嬉戏；以及亲眼目睹桑亚蒂（Sanyati）准备狩猎，并在狩猎后与幼崽们一起享用盛宴。老虎峡谷之旅改变了我的人生，这仅仅是冰山一角。此外，与老虎峡谷新员工们相处的时光也让我的旅程格外精彩。与他们每个人一对一的交流，让我受益匪浅，学到了很多宝贵的经验。我甚至有幸见到了老虎峡谷的主人罗德尼（Rodney）和洛娜（Lorna）。他们如此真诚谦逊，难怪员工们都以他们为榜样。非常感谢Tiger Canyon、Ben、Adolph、JR、Renske、Nkozi、Renee、主厨和她的助手Carrryn，尤其要感谢Sharon，是你们让我的住宿体验如此难忘。我永远不会忘记你们每一个人，我会永远珍藏我们共同创造的美好回忆。我知道我或许永远无法重温这段旅程，但能够拥有这样的经历，已远远超出我的预期……这是一份我将永远珍藏的礼物！我也希望其他人也能在入住期间拥有同样的体验。永远怀念，Angie Myers（美国佛蒙特州）
