Sunrise & animals with Petrus 🫶🦏

Today we went for a drive with Petrus, the ranger who has accompanied us for the last few tours and who has been absolutely delightful!! The pickup was comfortable and fast and Petrus brought us safely to the Park since he is a very good driver ;) Thanks to him we were able to enjoy a very private, incredible sunrise, only the two of us and our guide while enjoying sightings of multiple animals! A sleeping rhino as well as giraffes, zebras with babies, elephants and even a male lion were spotted due to Petrus quick responses as well as incredible vision (20/20!!) We were additionally able to see the hot airballoons going up!! He also told us many many facts about the animals and just overall made us feel very comfortable and welcomed! We can recommend this experience and him as a guide specifically for everyone, families, solo travellers or friends, just like we are! We are so glad to have had him as our guide since he is overall just a lovely person and we can only recommend him with the highest compliments! If we could give more than five stars, believe us, we would!

Unvergessliche Sunrise Safari

We had an absolutely amazing sunrise safari today! Our guide Petrus was fantastic! He is extremely knowledgeable, very friendly, and clearly passionate about what he does. We were lucky enough to be just the two of us, which made the experience feel very personal. Petrus put so much effort into making the morning Game Drive special and shared lots of interesting information with us. He also knows all the good spots and when he tells you he’s got a plan - trust him, it’s gonna be a good plan! We saw so many rhinos, also with a baby, elephants, giraffes and a male lion. The pick-up was also smooth and perfectly organised. Overall, an unforgettable experience and we would definitely recommend this tour, especially with Petrus as your guide!

Excellent Guide Petros Made the Safari — Solid All Around

Safari guide Petros was excellent. We really appreciated his knowledge and driving skills — he explained everything related to the game (wildlife) clearly and well. The transfer driver was also great, with good, safe driving. The lodge was fine — not top-end, but satisfactory.
