Congratulations! And very well deserved😃!
Thank you very much, Meg!
Vantasties!! Kom ons hoop vir “third time lucky” 😉
Baie dankie! Dis wonderlik om te kan deurdring na die laaste 3 wanneer mens teen die groot ouens kompeteer, en dis net danksy al jul ondersteuning!
Congrats! Not surprised at all, your blog is awesome! Makes me want to travel there
Thank you so much, that’s very kind of you, and we hope to read about your South African travels soon!
😉
Congratulations!
Thank you very much for all the years of support and encouragement, P J B!
Love your photos of South Africa and congrats for the award!
We really do appreciate your support, thanks Zsuzsa!
Baie geluk,ek is trots op julle!
Baie dankie Dina! Jul almal se ondersteuning, aanmoediging en belangstelling maak dit regtig lekker om hier ons liefde vir SA se mooi natuurplekke te kom deel.
Dis een van die redes hoekom ek hier bly…al is dinge sleg!
Ons voel presies dieselfde. Ek kan my nie indink dat dit enige ander plek soveel beter kan gaan dat ek die geleentheid sal opgee om gou-gou Vrydagmiddag die pad na een-of-ander Wildtuin te vat vir n wegbreek nie…
Wereldwyd gaan dit deesdae sleg en ten minste ken ons die sleg hier in SA en weet ons hoe om dit te hanteer.
Congratulations!!! You have a place in my heart..!!! 🙂
You’ve always been so supportive of de Wets Wild, Ilargia – THANK YOU!
Congratulations; but I’m surprised you didn’t win outright!
Thanks very much Colonialist! All the encouraging comments will make it easy to try again this year. 😀
You’re #1 in both categories in my book!
That’s very kind, thanks Michael!
Baie geluk! Is dit dieselfde blogs wat gewen het?
Baie dankie vir al die aanmoediging en ondersteuning Tina! Jip, in ons kategoriee onthou ek Travelstart en Ranger diaries van verlede jaar ook, en natuurlik Save our Imfolozi Wilderness wat ons self ook volg.
Eish… as hulle altyd wen, is dit nou nie heel regverdig nie?
Dis regtig goeie, professionele blogs Tina, met n hele paar mense wat wonderlike artikels vir hulle skryf en n hengse klomp mense wat hulle volg. Beslis waardige wenners. Maar baie dankie dat jy vir ons belange uitkyk, ek waardeer dit regtig dat julle almal ons so heelhartig ondersteun!
Jy sien daarom is dit ongelyk? Jammer … miskien moet mens jou eie kompetiesie begin.
Dis mos lekker om saam met die groot outjies te speel! 😉
Nou ja dan is dit reg met my … ek sal maar duime vashou vir volgende jaar,
Dankie weer Tina!
Yay! Congratulations!

Just took a quick look at at the winner and other runner-up in the Travel category. They look like professional travel blogs; that is, blogs specifically designed to get people to go on trips. Your blog inspires us to want to see SA, so I would put your ahead of theirs. 🙂
