It was a very good safari and the driver was very kind and helpful and he made everything in order to see the wild animals!we show hippos, zebras, elephants, giraffes, rhino and others.unfortunately we didn't see lions but it is accepted that the animals are in their wild nature and you may not see whatever you want.

Had an incredible day out on the safari! We saw many animals (saw 3 out of the big 5 and a plethora of others). Also had plenty of opportunities to observe, learn and to take photos. Couldn't of asked for a better day trip to experience South Africa Tiann was an sensational guide! They were incredibly knowledgable, passionate, welcoming, accomodating and friendly Super easy and convenient, booked the day before and was able to be picked up and go the next day. Also this experience is very reasonably priced. Can't recommend enough!

Was fun, but I didn't get to see the lions :) still got a lot of memories and pictures. I would say the dirt roads are a bit rough but that's to be expected anyway.

Sonny was an excellent chauffeur and Petrus was the best tour guide! We saw a LEOPARD sunning itself as well as elephants, lions, rhinos, and hippos! Only 1 of the big 5 we didn’t see was the Buffalo. But all else was amazing! PS… don’t get too sucked into the souvenirs at the beginning of the tour!
