the safari was so good!! we had already seen all the big five by 11 o'clock, later we found a lion and a leopard in addition and many other exciting animals! our guide "pleasure" sometimes found animals (like rhinos and a lion) from a huge distance behind bushes, no idea how. unbelievable! he came to pick us up on time, was very friendly and above all he always gave us a lot of information and answered our questions. we had a wonderful, unforgettable and very successful day and would recommend this safari to everyone and book it again and again! thank you very much!

We really enjoyed our safari morning drive. We got to spot a number of animals and overall was an awesome experience. Our game driver Edward was amazing and made the whole experience worth while for us. One could definitely tell this is something he enjoys. We loved every moment of the game drive. Thanks to Carol for her services.

Wir haben sehr viele Tiere gesehen und von unserem Guide auch viele Informationen zu den kleineren Tieren erhalten. Er hat mit seinem scharfen Blick auch die kleinsten ausfindig gemacht und uns vieles erklärt.

It was really great! Our guide Gavin was very knowledgeable and also really tried to explore all the places where we could see the animals. Great experience
