Charles' & Ben's presentation at our grandaughter's birthday party on 20th June was superb. They were friendly, funny and informative, captivating from the very first an audience which ranged from 4 to 68 years old. It was worth every penny! We cannot recommend them highly enough.

To the team !!
I am one of the teachers at E G Preparatory School. We were visited by Charles and a colleague for an 'Animal Encounters' series of shows as part of our 'Africa Week' on Tuesday 16th March.
Can I just say how much we ALL enjoyed your visit. The children (all the way from KG to year 6) were absolutely transfixed by the creatures and couldn't stop talking about them afterwards! The presentations were really informative and pitched at just the right level.
I really enjoyed helping to take the animals round to show the children (as did the other members of staff.)
I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who was looking for something 'just that little bit different' for a party or visit.
It was a wonderful experience - thank you.
Sincerely,

Dear Garg

I just wanted to say thank you again for the lovely party today. It was very much enjoyed by all the children and parents. And thank you too for the very successful selection of animals.

It was very striking that, when the children went to bed, exhausted from having been awake since 4.00 this morning, they were still talking about the animals and remembering all sorts of things you had said which I hadn't taken in - a real sign of success I think.

Many thanks again

Best wishes

Dear Safari Pete
Well, WOW!, I don't know where to start! Thank you, thank you, thank you. You and of course your animals were amazing! George had the best day of his life! You made his birthday party perfect.
You had such energy and held the attention of every child (and adult) there the whole time. You had such an amazing range of interesting and unusual animals. You taught us all such a lot about them whilst making us laugh all the time too.
I am not sure if you were aware but there were five special needs children there including George who is autistic and they were enthralled and happy the whole way through. You included every single child there and were so great at remembering everyone's name.
You made George feel like he really was Safari George and I know it will be a day he never forgets. You made him look like a hero for a day in front of his friends which is such a great boost for him. His Auntie commented it was so amazing to see him so excited and yet so relaxed with you. His autism means he spends a lot of his life in a very anxious state but his love and passion for animals gives him a lot of pleasure and he now wants to grow up and be you! So fantastic!
George has already said he wants his friend Safari Pete to come for his next birthday.
A massive massive thank you again!

Hi! Ben did a show for us yesterday at my son's 5th birthday party. He had very young children to contend with and my son is very shy. We can not praise Ben enough. Harry says he had the best day of his life! Ben has a wonderful way about him and Harry warmed to him imediatelly. All the children (and adults) were enthralled by the show. Ben was so patient and good with the children, he is clearly a natural teacher. Many of the parent's told me that it was the best party they have ever been to. We loved the way that Ben sat Harry next to him throughout the whole show and even let Harry take a lizard to his class mates to show each of them. Harry told me he was Ben's helper and this made him feel very important. Thank you so much to Ben for making a shy little boy (who therefore is not often the centre of attention) feel so very special in front of all of his school friends. We filmed the show, and he has watched it over and over again and feels so proud of himself for handling so many of the animals.
Best wishes

 Dear all,

Just wanted to say a big thank you for a fantastic birthday party for our son Joe on Saturday. Garg was great - Joe thought he was very funny as well as a cool scientist, and he managed to keep the attention of 15 wired little people for a whole hour! The bit at the end getting them to all lie on the floor and let the snake slide across them was inspired - just as they were getting a few 'ants in their pants' he reeled them all in with that one! Superb.

Joe loved every bit, and we all fell in love with your one-eyed Indian fruit bat! So cute!

I have put a flyer in everyone's party bags, so you may be getting some more requests from Tring soon! Hope so.

Many thanks again,

Linda M

Dear Glenda,

I am just sending a quick message to say what a wonderful party we had today. My son Theo had a very special and memorable afternoon. Safari Pete was truly fantastic - a real professional. He was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic and extremely engaging with all the children (and the adults too!).

I will not hesitate to recommend him,

Many thanks,

Dear Charles and Scott,

Thank you for coming to my birthday party on Sunday. All my friends said it was the best party ever! We loved all the animals especially the owls,armadillo and the huge snake. I had a great time and I hope my mum lets me do it next year!

Phoebe

Dear Charles and Michael,

Thank you do very much for a most fabulous party! All of my friends are still talking about it.
We loved all the animals and the way you explained about them.
My mum liked the armadillo and the chinchilla best.
I can not believe, there were some adults who were really scared of the snake.
The party could not have been nicer! Thank you so much.

with love from

MAX and family

To Charles, Scott, Ben and all the animals,

Thank you so much for organising and running such an interesting and engaging session at this years London Children's Film Festival. It was great to work with Impeyan for the first time and we had fantastic feedback from the audience who all really enjoyed it. Thanks too for all your flexibility in the planning of the event. We hope to see you again in the future.

Best wishes

Dear Impeyan,

I would like to congratulate your team on providing first class presentations at our two nurseries on the 2nd July. The parents and children are still talking about the animals!

Charles was so entertaining and certainly was professional enough to know how to keep our little ones' attentions and interest going. Some of our parents that came along commented on how exciting and interesting the presentation was and what a great opportunity the children had at holding and touching the wonderful animals. The Ofsted inspector that was visiting also said how fantastic the presentation was by your team.

We have had visits from other live animal shows in the past, however after having Impeyan at our nurseries and all the positive comments and feedbacks, I cannot wait until next year for another booking.

Thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job at making our children happy. Until next year we only have the happy photographs to look at. Once again on behalf of all the children, staff and parents, thank you and we look forward to having you again next year.

Yours sincerely,

Haleh H

Dear Charles and Co

Had to write and say a very BIG thank you for Caitlin and Lydia's 9th birthday party on Sun 21st November 2010. I have to say the children loved it and I think the adults had as much fun as the children. Charles you were very entertaining, the party was educational and the variety of animals were amazing. I have to say over the years of arranging parties this has to be the best ever, I would highly recommend you and your team. I am so glad we did the hour and half show as the audience were glued to their seats the whole time! Your interaction with the children is second to none. I would also like to thank Ben who had the patience of a saint, he entertained my young son by allowing him to be his helper.

Cant wait to see you again soon.

Many Many thanks for making it a wonderful day!

Dear Safari Pete

WOW! FAB! SUPER! TRIFFIC! AMAZING! TREMENDOUS! OMG! SUPERB! CAPTIVATING! EDUCATIONAL! HUMOROUS! EXCITING!

Well......what more can I say, I just wanted to say a big thankyou for coming to Mabel's party & being such a fab entertainer, you captivated the children with your humor & knowledge of the animals. You managed to include the majority of the children in handling the animals & even remembered a lot of their names. You were very patient, enthusiastic & very accommodating when others wanted to hold the animals after the show.

The selection of animals was amazing & the amount you managed to cram into an hour was phenomenal! A snake, an owl, a millipede, a chinchilla, bearded dragons, a VERY LARGE spider, the feeding of a large snake, a toad, a meerkat, a skunk & a scorpion..... & Mabel loved them all! Personally mine was Lady Gaga....NOT!! It was the meerkat........

I think the parents enjoyed it just as much, if not more than the kids & therefore just wanted to thankyou & wish you loads of success as you truly deserve it.

I will be recommending you to all my friends as would love to see the animals & of course you again one day.....

Kindest regards

To Charles and Ben 

I am a teacher at K Infants School. You visited our school Friday 14th January. I am writing to thank you for your presentation you gave to the children. You kept the children captivated and they learnt so much. The fact that you made sure every child got a turn to touch an animal was great. I would also like to express how friendly and helpful the member of staff was who booked our visit (over the telephone).

Thank you again. It was a great way to start our topic on different environments around the world. We will definately be booking you next year when we repeat the topic.

Your energy and enthusiasm was completely infectious and made for such a great atmosphere thoughout the party.

Finley and his friends and family thoroughly enjoyed themselves and this was all down to you and your amazing animals, so thank you once again for making Finley's 4th birthday so special.
