We had a great time on...
We had a great time on this private Safari. We wanted to see a hunt, and John worked really hard until he got us one! We saw a pride of 9 lions hunt a pumba. We also wanted to see more animals and that's exactly what John worked really hard towards. We had the best time.
Highly recommend!
