We had a wonderful stay at Konka 24 -26 February. As always the staff couldn't do enough to accommodate us. I’d also like to let you know that the facilitators were amazing and the kids loved them. Our head facilitator was super, as always. She was so accommodating. Head chef, Claudio, ensured that the kitchen was peanut butter and nut free which relieved us of so much stress. The food was delicious as always. Our Muslim girl raved about her Halaal meals. The teachers really appreciated the new white linen in the chalets and how spotless everything was. So all in all it was such a happy and well organised camp, thanks to your wonderful staff.

St Stithians Girls' Preparatory School Grade 6 - Claire Eskinazi - 27 February 2020

Once again Bryanston High has had the most wonderful camp at Konka. Thank you very much for everything. Our facilitators: Bazooka, Jelly bean and Memo were absolutely phenomenal. They were able to read our group so well and make adjustments to the programme. They were so supportive, attentive and were greatly appreciated by the pupils and staff alike. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Please convey our most grateful thanks to them. As always the accommodation was 5 star and James, your chef, continued to provide us with the most delicious meals. Once again, thank you so much for providing us with such a wonderful, safe and inspiring Councillor Camp. We eagerly anticipate our 2021 camp!

Audrey Hughes - Bryanston High - 24 February 2020

Baie dankie weereens vir n geseende tyd by Konka - ons was omtrent bederf - geluk aan elkeen wat dit vir ons moontlik gemaak het

Ettienne Van As - AGS Simfonie - 19 February 2020

BAIE BAIE dankie, dit was fantasties - soos altyd. Eintlik beter, as dit enigsins moontlik kan wees. ‘n Spesiale woord van waardering ook vir die begrip toe die helfte van die koor so laat gearriveer het. Ook om hulle kos nog tot so laat in die aand vir hulle warm te hou. Ons het groot waardering daarvoor. Die vriendelikheid, professionaliteit en hulpvaardigheid van die 3 fasiliteerders verdien ook spesiale vermelding. Hulle het selfs vir ons vertrekkende hoofseun – dit was sy 9de kamp – ‘n geskenk oorhandig. Hoe absoluut spesiaal.

Marina Zaaiman - 14 February 2020

Thank you for the weekend. The facilitators were fantastic. Can we please request Telly Tubby and Jelly Bean for the Juniors. They were so helpful. The Chef is stunning, nothing was too much for him. The food I believe was delicious. REMEMBER NO PORK. Please thank them. “Well done to them all”.

Avril Rebeck - Johannesburg Mini Council - 10 February 2020

Baie dankie weereens vir (nog) ‘n heerlike Konka kamp met uitstekende personeel en fasiliteite! Julle het ons maar net weer beindruk.

Marina Zaaiman - Mzansi Youth Choir - 10 February 2020

Just a quick note to say a big thank you to all the staff at Konka for making our camp a fantastic success. The four facilitators were excellent. They took care of the girls, learnt their names, extended them during the activities and encouraged them all to give of their best. The chef, James, and his staff were amazing and the food was excellent. The accommodation for the teachers was superb – I felt like I was on holiday. The large dorm for the girls worked well – the aircon could have been more affective as it was very hot in the dorm – but the girls slept well and they enjoyed being all together.

St. Mary's Waverley -Annie Thom - 04 February 2020

Thank you for hosting our youth group last year. We had a wonderful time with you group Chaperon sister Lesego and her team. Rooms for the youth and personnels were 100 percent good. Food was very good, the children would go for more, Juice, tea and coffee also available anytime. Dessert was also served though not on the day we had suggested but Sunday afternoon was also okay with us. I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you (Elrie, Jansje, Lesego, Boyce, Ms M, Ntombi, Simpiwe, Re, Cookie) exceptional people. Also a big thank you to the Chef and the kitchen staff and everyone who was involved to make our stay comfortable.

Deaconess Linah - Oasis Christian Assembly - 7 January 2020

Our event at Konka went very well due to the great support and attention we received from the staff. Special mention of Bazooka who makes sure everything is ready and is also on on-call for any request. We had a wonderful stay, please pass thanks on to the great staff.

Kathy Somma - RSE - 19 November

Thank you for an amazing camp experience. Our grade 3’s loved every minute of it. Your facilitators were great and very helpful. We arrived late and the programme had to change, then we asked to move lunch forward for some hungry kids. It was never a problem, your facilitator happily made the changes for us. Your accommodation was clean, bathrooms in good condition and the kids loved the beds.

Angela Hannington - Kyalami Prep School - 13 November 2019

Just wanted to let you know that the St Stithians Grade 6s had a really wonderful camp at Konka last week. The facilitators were fantastic and Claudio and his kitchen team made us the most wonderful food, as always. The cleaners were also very friendly. So altogether we had a great camp.

Claire Venter - Cooper College - 07 October 2019

Thank you for the great experience offered at the start of 2019 to the grade 8s of Southdowns College. A special thank you to Milo and Jelly Bean for managing and running the weekend. The game drive with the published poet ( I cannot remember his name) was truly memorable.

PW Niemann - Southdowns College - 4 October 2019

Greetings from the University of Pretoria! I trust that you are well. There are no words which I find good enough to thank you - it's been a great adventure for the boys and they still talk about it. The facilities and the people were all great! Thanks a million to all your staff who made our team-building a great and memorable experience! Once again, thanks a million!

Sylvester Siboto - University of Pretoria - 3 October 2019

Baie dankie vir die toer daar by julle en die moeite wat almal gedoen het vir ons skool. Die kinders en personeel het dit vreeslik geniet. As als reg verloop , sien ons jul weer volgende jaar.

Hoffman Buys - Laerskool Unika - 2 October 2019

I just want to say a HUGE thank you to you and your Camp Konka team for making our experience unbelievable once again. The kids had an absolute blast and could not stop talking about how much fun they had. I wanted to know if I could provisionally book camp for Rynfield Primary School again next year? We would love to come from the 14th September to the 17th September 2020.

Rynfield Primary School - Robyn McMaster - 17 September 2019

It is with much thanks and gratitude that I write this email! This year marked my 10th visit as part of a school group to Konka and it was as amazing as always! Every visit is like a family reunion. I would like to thank all involved in the success of our Annual Maths Camp – from the booking process and follow-ups with Elrie, Lindiwe at finance, the security guard/s at the gate, the quality of the food and the friendliness and professionalism from the cooks and kitchen staff, all facilitators and workers who greet as they walk past, the facilities and their upkeep, every bird that sang us awake, and most importantly: our facilitators, Bazuka and Nolly (and even Milo, who jumped in to assist at the Obstacle course). I am truly thankful for the facilitators’ enthusiasm, astute observations of our students, their willingness to adapt the program to suit our group of children and their needs, their friendliness, ideas, jokes, professionalism and for going the extra mile to ensure our 2019 Maths Camp was a massive success. Please pass on our thanks to all at Konka and we look forward to the 2020 camp!

St Martin’s School - Karen Hubbard - 16 September 2019

As I depart from IQbusiness and start a brand new adventure, I’d like to thank each of you for our time spent together leading the Konka and IQbusiness relationship. The passion, so selflessly shown by each of you, has inspired me in so many ways and I am unequivocally grateful for the opportunity to have impacted lives, with each of you. I wish you all the best and look forward to joining the camp as a volunteer in December

IQbusiness - Adele Conley - 12 September 2019

I would like to thank you for everything you have done for us this past weekend. Our students and staff really enjoyed the weekend's offering, accommodation, meals and in particular the facilitators and staff of Konka. Rarely do I see staff that are always so friendly and willing to help, even if we keep on pushing them. Lesego and her team did great, and Milo's leadership was evident. Lindiwe's problem-solving nature was also quite remarkable. To everyone at Konka: thank you so much, and we will definitely be seeing you soon

Lanche van Tonder - University of Pretoria - 2 September 2019

We would like to thank you for a warm welcome on the 30 Sept 2019,we enjoyed every moment with good and friendly facilitators and top facilities. Meal was well prepared and mouth watering.

Olebogeng Mangweng - Lomanyaneng Primary - 2 September 2019

This trailrun is destined to become one of the best in the country! Upon arrival runners were personally welcomed and directed by the organisers. Late registrations were handled effortlessly and at record speed. The route was cleverly laid out as the first 10k's were beginner friendly but not too easy and provided a hint of technicality. If you entered for the 20k you are probably a more experienced runner which will suit you well in this race. The moment the two distances split up the real fun started. The scenery immediately changed and so did the terrain. Some serious climbs awaited which proved too much for most of us backtrackers to run out. A really close encounter with a very tame Eland was quite an experience! The water stations were fantastically stocked. Congratulations to the organisers on a great event!

Andries Greef - 31 August 2019

Die kamp was ongelooflik lekker, alles was baie goed georganiseer en ons het dit baie geniet. Die verblyf, etes en program was van top gehalte. Ek sal graag wil bespreek vir ons kamp van volgende jaar.

Anell van der Walt - Department Head - Hoërskool Waterkloof - 28 August 2019

Thank you for the assistance, we had a successful camp, you and your team has made that possible. I am particularly enthralled by your lead facilitator - Boyce, he was on another level, the service was of quality, I did not find myself without anything outstanding as he kept on ensuring all is on point. I commend such commitment. Overall I appreciate Konka for the great service, the kitchen delivered a good service as well. Thank you

Xolani Sampies - CYD Manager - Afrika Tikkun - 28 June 2019

This is just an email to give our heart-full gratitude for the weekend that we spend at Konka. It was really a very lovely weekend. The learners really enjoyed themselves. Please also pass on my heart-full thanks to the kitchen staff for the food, it was fantastic. Thank you very very much.

Lynn Pagel - 29 April 2019

To all the staff at Konka Dainfern College were privileged to attend a two day camp at Konka last week with our Grade 6 group. On behalf of the College I would like to extend a huge thank you to all of the staff that were involved with our camp. The staff were efficient, friendly and attentive to all of our needs at all times. The accommodation and food was excellent and enjoyed by students and teachers alike. I would like to say a special thank you to the team of facilitators under the leadership of Lesego. They were excellent in all respects, from the activities planned to their interaction with the students. The Dainfern staff were most impressed and enjoyed watching all the activities. We certainly hope to have the same team of facilitators when we return in 2020! Thank you again, Konka staff, we had a wonderful experience!

Sandi Tyson - Deputy Principal: Organisation & Logistics - 12 April 2019

The Base Women's Camp - 14 April 2019

I would like to take this opportunity in thanking you and all of your staff for making our experiences at Konka during the u/10 and u/11 rugby festivals and Netball training camp a very memorable one for all players and coaches involved. Your professionalism within every department is highly commendable and please be so kind in congratulating all the relevant staff members who were involved within the above mentioned festivals/training camps. It has contributed immensely within our preparations for the respective seasons and the results are of a positive nature due to the well organised events. Thank you!! I would also like you to please be so kind in sending me any correspondence with regards to the 2020 rugby and netball festivals as it will be a great honour in order to attend and experience the wonderful, positive and competitive environment yet again. We are sure that it will be a great success as was 2019 festivals. It’s also with immense pride and joy to have been able to make a positive contribution towards your respective festivals and we thoroughly hope to be able to do so in the not too distant future. Please relay the message to your wonderful, experienced, energetic and professional members of staff.

Mark Moore - Monument Primary School - 16 April 2019

Thank you for the excellent way in which you handled the booking and management of our students at Camp Konka. Special thanks are extended to ‘Bazooka’ aka Mbasa, who showed such caring and insightful empathy for our very diverse group of children. He really was an absolute star and we appreciate his approach in handling the group so well. The theme of team building was perfect. To the kitchen staff too, who accommodated all of our students individual needs so willingly and kindly, a huge vote of thanks. The variety of activities and the accommodation were well suited and adapted to our student’s needs. I am, however, sorry that the staff were not able to enjoy the game drive due to the inclement weather. Hopefully this will be our treat next time! In closing, I would like to book for our camp for 2020 and I will revert back to you as soon as we have finalized dates.

Sandy Curry - Amedeo - 10 April 2019

This is a heartfelt commendation to Buzuka and his team. Your caring, kindness and great work ethic places you in good lead. You went above and beyond to make our trip a huge success. Buzuka, you are a great asset in Konka. You lead by example. Thank you to the female facilitators Zee/Dee for your special personality. You are going to make a great teacher.

Ruwayda Khan - Director - Maru-a-Pula School - 8 March 2019

Ons, Beaulieu Preparatory, het pas terug gekeer vanaf nog 'n Konka ervaring. Na 33 jaar in die onderwys en verskillende kampe, wil ek Konka gelukwens. Geen ander kamp kan by julle kers vashou nie! Dit was my vyfde jaar by Konka en elke keer word die verbeterings opgemerk. Die personeel is vriendelik en doen uitstekende werk. Erkenning aan die sjef wat heerlike geregte met 'n pragtige glimlag voorsit. Onderwysers se akkommodasie en versorging is baie goed en word opreg waardeer. Baie dankie vir al jul moeite.

Jenny Fourie - Beaulieu Preparatory - 21 February 2019

I cant stop thinking of the camp, it brings tears to my eyes every time I think of it. It was special in so many ways, naturally and most important spiritually. THANK YOU, is just not enough. But I pray that God blesses you, Ilse, Milo, Lesego, Chef, all management, all staff ABUNDANTLY. And may this year be an exceptional year for all of us.
