Amazing!

We did the 2-day Garden Route tour with Gordon and it was great fun. We felt comfortable and safe at all times, and the personal interaction with Gordon was very pleasant, open and interesting. Thank you so much, Gordon, for these two wonderful days. We saw so many different animals on safari: elephants, cheetahs, giraffes, lions, hippos, rhinos, etc. And we could feed ostriches and giraffes - amazing!

An Unforgettable 2-Day Garden Route Adventure for Families!

Our 2-day Garden Route tour was absolutely packed and went by in the blink of an eye! We enjoyed two incredible game safaris, each offering unforgettable wildlife encounters. The lunches and dinners were huge and delicious—I joked that I’d need some training afterwards to work them off! The night at Chandelier Lodge was magical, with stunning starry skies, and in the morning we were lucky enough to see herds of animals passing by. Meeting and interacting with ostriches was also such a unique and special experience. Most importantly, our guide Gift was wonderfully kind, especially with our children, and truly made my South African trip unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting South Africa—you will not regret it! Merci beaucoup ガーデンルートの2日間ツアーはとても盛りだくさんで、あっという間に過ぎてしまいました。 ゲームサファリは2回あり、どちらも本当に貴重で忘れられない体験となりました。 ランチやディナーはボリューム満点で、とても美味しくて大満足!しばらくトレーニングが必要なくらいでした(笑)。 シャンデリア・ロッジでの夜は、満天の星空がとてもきれいに見えて、朝には運が良ければ動物の群れにも出会えます。 オーストリッチ(ダチョウ)とのふれあいも、他ではなかなかできない特別な体験でした。 そして何よりも、ガイドのギフトさんが子供たちにもとても親切にしてくれて、私たちの南アフリカ旅行を本当に素敵に彩ってくれました。 南アフリカを訪れる方には、ぜひおすすめしたいツアーです!

Authentic high end safari experience

Unbelievable experience with first class service all the way. Morne Hill was my guide and he was fantastic. High end all the way. Spectacular transport vehicle. To notch accommodations. Safari experience that would rival any other experience that would cost 10 times as much. Even got a trunk hug from and elephant!
