The Malone family would like to thank you for organising such an amazing trip for us. Your company was very professional concerning all aspects of our trip. Our tickets were purchased and arrived safely to us prior to our trip. Our visa process was simplified as you had done the preliminary work. Our guide was waiting for us at the airport with the car and driver. All accommodations, meals and transportation were handled and we simply just had to enjoy our trip.
We saw so much of Mongolia and were amazed at the vast beauty of the country. The ger camps were exciting and fun. The food was very good throughout the whole trip and having everything organized ahead of time gave us more time to simply enjoy our stay.
I would like to send a special thank you to Gana and Bulgaa, our guide and driver. Gana was knowleadgeable about Mongolia and its history. He was very professional, polite and took care of everything for us. However, as we were traveling with two small children, he was far more than just a good guide. He was so helpful, patient and kind with the kids.
Bulgaa was also wonderful. He was a very good driver, helped whenever we needed it and was such fun with the kids. Both Gana and Bulga made the trip so much more fun for the kids.
Mongolia was truly beautiful, but I can't say enough how much more special it was for us (and especially our children) having Gana and Bulgaa with us. I hope you take good care of them and keep them with your company and I would highly recommend them to anyone traveling to Mongolia with Black Ibex.
We will be telling all our friends about our trip and will pass along your company name with a strong recommendation to use Black Ibex when traveling to Mongolia.

Best regards,

Subject: TOUR REPORT

I want to start with a big THANK YOU to you and to Black Ibex Expeditions for a very wonderful tour through Mongolia!!! All of us had a really enjoyable time on the tour you put together for us.

Please extend a direct and specific thank you to Gunjee, Bayart, Khasa and Uka. They were wonderful Guides and Drivers, making our tour a very special experience. I have nothing but compliments and high praise for the staff who took such good care of us. The same compliments go to Gana, who we encountered at the Tajkhar Chuluu Rocks, and to Baht who entertained us on our return to Ulaanbaatar. A company is only as good as the people and your people are obviously carefully selected, well trained and inherently very capable.

The tour you arranged for us, not the standard tour, was very enjoyable. We saw so much of Mongolia, a very beautiful country, and did it in a very comfortable and pleasant way. Your own attention to our arrangements was superb and greatly appreciated.

The most unexpected aspect of the trip was the wide variety of terrain and geography around Mongolia. I expected only wide grass lands and desert but we saw that and much more. The rolling, soft rounded hills were beautiful and the mountains were spectacular. The forests in the north were very scenic, especially around Khovsgol. Mongolia is definitely a beautiful country.
I can only summarize by saying what a perfectly planned and executed tour Black Ibex Expeditions provided to us. I would recommend Black Ibex to anyone planning to go to Mongolia, a country very much worth seeing and enjoying.

Dear Black Ibex team,

We would like to thank you again for the amazing time we had in Mongolia. We got to know an awesome country and a lot of very beautiful people. Special thanks go to our guide Eggi and our driver Hassad, who did a very great job. We had lots of fun together and both of them made Mongolian culture, history und people accessible to us.

Thanks to you all for a perfectly organised trip and for fulfilling all our special desires (extra horseback riding and visiting the Festival of Eurasia) And last but not least, we would like to thank also your partners in China, especially Zoe und Mr. Chang who made our stay in Beijing a very enjoyable one.

Dear Black Ibex team,

Hello Black Ibex,
I just returned from my Mongolia trip and wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the experience. The tour was well organized, the people were gracious and welcoming, and the country was all I had dreamed of. I want to thank the Black Ibex people I dealt with--Khongoroo, who handled the preliminaries of the trip with such efficiency, the guides, and the drivers, Ooka and Dashka, who gave astounding performances on sometimes muddy and seemingly impassible roads.
Above all, I want to congratulate you on having on your staff a guide as competent and charming as our principal guide, Gunjee, who did her utmost to accommodate the needs of the members of the group and keep them happy.
