A must see.

The tour began with a pick up from the hotel, good communication sent me a WhatsApp the day before confirming and giving times of collection. On arrival to the park we where greeted by our tour guild /driver who was very knowledgeable and was happy to answer any questions . We stopped for comfort break which included a bbq and a drink. This was next to a large lake which had fantastic views for even more photos. The guild ensured that when an animal ample opitunities and time was given to take photos and soak in the memories. We was lucky enough to see babies in their natural habitat with their mothers and saw how mothers protect their young. The staff at the park where very clearly and obviously animal lovers who cared for each individual animal on the park as well as respected that we was in their area and home.

Operator response

Thank you for your wonderful and detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that your experience was so well organised from the pre-trip WhatsApp communication through to the hotel pick-up and safari itself. It’s great to know your guide/driver was knowledgeable, attentive, and made sure you had plenty of time to enjoy sightings and capture special moments. Seeing animals with their young in their natural habitat is always a truly special experience, and we’re so pleased you were able to witness that. We’re also glad you enjoyed the BBQ stop with its beautiful views, as well as the care and respect shown by the park staff and guides. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we hope to welcome you back for another memorable safari in the future!
