when I woke that I was not happy" Ernest Hemingway African Safari And Travel Recommendations: Press CommentsIn South Africa, Heritage Africa’s principals have been on the cover of Sunday Business Times, in Business Day and in the Sunday Times. (These are South Africa's three largest national papers.)In the American press, some of the publications that have covered us are Fortune Magazine, Newsweek, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, and Black Enterprise Magazine (twice covered, once on its cover). The London Times also did a story on us. We have also enjoyed television coverage on Good Morning America, and on CNN's Travel Guide, the latter piece aired for the second time in January 2000. Here is what some of them have said about Michael and Bernadette: "Heritage Africa is ... at the epicenter of [tourism] to South Africa." "South Africa will have to create new wealth… for democracy to work. So far the couple [Michael Giles and Bernadette Moffat] is off to a good start." "[With] missionary zeal [to] make their contribution to the new South Africa…Bernadette Moffat and her husband Michael Giles sold their house and gave up six figure salaries as lawyers in Washington." "Michael Giles saw opportunity … the Columbia Law graduate left the US to settle in South Africa in 1993" "Reflecting on South Africa’s nearly 50% unemployment rate, one senior US Government official lauds the couple’s ability to transform their business plan to entrepreneurial reality."

We were able to boost our website pledge rate...by 64%...over our December 2000 record...a gain of approximately $46,000 in revenue. The Heritage Africa Pledge promotion was a very exciting start to a new source of funds for WNET. " African safari and travel recommendations - Jerry Liwanag, Marketing Manager/Producer, On-air and Interactive Fundraising, WTTW Chicago "On behalf of WTTW, I would to thank you again for your generous contribution of a ten-day African safari. As you may remember, we leveraged this as a raffle opportunity during the length of our drive (18 days). Promotion and registration occurred both on-air during live pledging and on our website. Overall results proved to be both worthwhile and mutually beneficial. We garnered just under $1.4M from over 15K pledges. This is a 54% increase in the number of pledges received from our December campaign. Approximately 8,000 new members joined our organization, a 58% increase from the last drive as well. Additionally, the safari incentive helped to increase traffic on our website. On the Internet alone, we raised over $43K from approximately 500 pledges. As we just recently began our web initiative, this was a 62% increase from the norm."
