This was a perfectly organized trip from the moment of pickup to bringing us back to our hotel. Like with all such organized excursions, timing is tight but we did it all: driving (and it’s a long drive), stops with beautiful views and food breaks, infinity pool at the resort, the big four sightings, delicious dinner and breakfast. The trip would not have been so memorable without Chris, one of the very best guides I have ever had the chance to have. His ways with us, his knowledge and happiness to go over and beyond for the enjoyment of his clients are simply remarkable. Thank you Chris for making this trip an unforgettable one.

This trip was so cool! Our guide Dylan was the best; from the moment of pick-up till the very last drop-off his positive energy was contagious. He also has lots of nice stories and details to share. We stopped at various viewing points, scenic locations and had plenty of stops for toilet breaks and shop for light refreshments. The Game Lodge was luxurious, a great location with amazing food and very friendly staff. The game drives are also really cool, good chance to see many indigenous animals from upclose. Don’t forget to bring some binoculars. Would definitely recommend this trip and hope to meet Dylan again!

Two-day safari, highly recommend. Dylan was amazing. He has a warm personality and is extremely knowledgeable. Dylan is highly motivated and wants you to experience as much as possible, all while feeling comfortable and respected. 10/10, highly recommend.
