Highly Recommend

Such an amazing experience! Everything was super easy! Our driver Jeff was great and picked me up on time from my hotel. It was about a 2 hour drive to the reserve. Once at the reserve we had a buffet lunch. The scenery was absolutely beautiful! After lunch we started on the safari. Our driver was Freddy and he was great! He would stop and let us take pictures, and he would tell us information about each animal we saw. We did stop for refreshments and to use the restrooms during the safari. This was such a great experience that I would do it again!

Wonderful day see the best of South Africa s big 5

The game reserve is beautiful and was the perfect way to experience a true safari experience. We saw animals in a beautiful setting. From the Rhinos to the Hippos, there were plenty of animals to see. Even the lions were enjoying the beautiful day.
