SPEEDWELL “SPEEDY” MADAKA

Speedy was born in a town called “I Dutywa” pronounced I-doo-tja and grew up in Umtata in the Eastern Cape (a beautiful part of South Africa). Speedy’s interest at home is soccer, and in the bush he enjoys bush walks and game drives. When Speedy is not on tour we are greeted in the mornings by the buzzer at the gate with a “Good morning. It is Speedy. Please can you open the gate for me. Thank you”. You will be able to recognise Speedy as he is always wears a cap (and enjoys making hotdogs for lunch).

SOUTH AFRICA TOUR: “I just wanted to say another big thank you to Wayne and to Speedy for one of the best trips I have ever been on, we couldn't of wished for better Guides. We got back yesterday from the 17 day South Africa Trip, it was a shame it had to come to an end. I will miss them both, especially Wayne's great cooking and chat and Speedy's 'Wunderbarr' (group joke!) This was my second trip with Sunway Safaris and we will definitely be looking to book a third hopefully for the end of this year, beginning of next. I wouldn't even consider using a different company to travel around Africa with, as the Guides, the small group size, the tents and the trucks make it perfect.” Naomi WILLIAMS, UK

SOUTH AFRICA TOUR: “THANK to the best guides Wayne and Speedy for the best holiday I ever had. With them I travelled from Jo-burg to Cape town in April/March 2006 (Start March 25th 2006) within 17 days of greatest fun and adventure. I enjoyed marvelous cooking, the wonderful happy and friendly atmosphere both ever created as well as learned incredible much due to their great knowledge of South Africans nature/wildlife und human beings. Most of all I admired their always putting themselves behind the guest. Besides, tents and truck made it a perfect trip. Everything every time was possible, "under control" and absolutely "Wunderbar":-) THANK YOU!!! Hopefully I return - I’m already planning my next trip with Sunway.” Sandrin Steffens, Germany

SOUTH AFRICA FAMILY TOUR: “Hi. I'm writing to say an enormous thanks to your guide, Speedy, who along with Greg made such efforts to ensure we had the holiday of a lifetime. Speedy worked tirelessly from morning til night, always smiling & laughing & taking everything in his stride. I particularly appreciated his warmth & the lovely friendship my son made with him. Even when he was tired he gave him attention & watching them splash in the ocean at the end of the trip was a highlight of the holiday. I cannot praise him enough as a person or a guide. He is an invaluable asset to your company & a wonderful representative for South African hospitality. Please pass on our warmest thanks to him. Best wishes.” Morag & Keir Reid, United Kingdom
