Great tour. Communication for initial pickup was good and on time, from there our guide TK looked after everything. Backpackers accommodations were a good standard overall (varied from basic to really nice). Activities were brilliant and scenery throughout the tour was fab. Tour guide TK added a lot of knowledge and was keen to share South African history and culture with the group as well as learn about our countries current affairs, culture and history.

Wir waren die einzigen Gäste an diesem Tag und wurden von Marilyn, einer beeindruckenden, sehr kompetenten und engagierten Rangerin in wirklich jeden Winkel des Parks gebracht. Wir haben Dutzende Elefanten, eine Elefantenkuh mit Zwillingen cape buffalo, kudus, hartebeest, eland, zebra, Warzenschweine, mango, viele Vögel und Pflanzen gesehen. Mittags wurde im Busch gegrillt- lecker. Wir kamen nach 10 Stunden völlig beeindruckt zurück. SEHR EMPFEHLENSWERT.
