My guide Mr Nev made the tour enjoyable for me, who was a beginner English speaker, and I really enjoyed it. I was happy to be part of this tour! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!
What a heartwarming review—thank you so much! 💛 We're so glad you had a fantastic experience on the 2 Day Wild Heart + Safari tour, and it's wonderful to hear that Mr. Nev (Guide Neville) made the tour enjoyable and fun for you, even with the language barrier. He truly has a gift for making everyone feel welcome and included! It was a pleasure having you on tour, and we’d love to welcome you back for another adventure in the future!

Although I was skeptical, the two safari parks impressed me. Having a rhinoceros next to the jeep or an elephant's trunk on your shoulder is a special feeling. At the 88 Baron Hotel, we received a very warm welcome and had a great breakfast. The return trip through a beautiful mountain landscape rounded off the trip.
Wow, what an incredible experience you had on the 2Day Wildlife & Safari tour! We’re so glad the safari parks exceeded your expectations, and it must have been such a thrill to get that close to the wildlife. The warm welcome and great breakfast at the 88 Baron van Reede Guesthouse sound like the perfect way to start the day. And those mountain landscapes on the return trip—what a beautiful finish to your adventure. Thank you for sharing, and we hope to have you back for another unforgettable journey soon! Always keep exploring, -Team Hotspots2C
The safari was a unique experience for us! Communication in advance went smoothly via WhatsApp and we were picked up on time on the day of departure in a modern minivan at our accommodation. Our driver Denver was just cordial, he kept telling us a few details during the ride, stopped at great places for photos and drove to several small beautiful rest areas for short breaks. Everything was super organized, the safaris were great and so educational! We would like to recommend it from the heart:)

Honestly the most incredible experience we could have imagined. This trip is not worth every penny and so much more... Great guide, great planning, amazing from a - z. A friend of ours had spent 5 days in Kruger park a couple years ago and did not manage to see half as many animals as we did in the two days which we went here. Glowing recommendations for everyone to do this trip!

Everything was extremely rushed and driver never conveyed itinerary or options. Stops were chaotic and centered toward driver’s desires. For all the money we paid, we were not the prioriity. Buffelsdrift was spectacular, however. Typically love Viator tours.
Thank you for your feedback online too. We are truly sorry to hear that the experience ultimately felt rushed and left you with mixed feelings. We were very positive and grateful for the 5-star positive feedback you shared with us directly after the “phenomenal tour” (quoted from post trip feedback communication), noting specifically the wonderful tour, beautiful scenery, lodging, guiding and specially-selected jazz music that was shared on the journey. This 3-star feedback we received here was therefore rather surprising and disheartening to read, as it seems you ultimately felt parts of the tour didn’t fully meet your expectations, and for that, we sincerely apologise. Our goal is always to balance an activity-packed itinerary like this with ample flexibility, especially on private tours, so guests feel that each stop is curated and specific for their needs. We sincerely regret if the guide didn’t communicate the itinerary and options more clearly day-by-day, as the full itinerary was shared before the tour started and the full daily itinerary is also available in detail online. Ensuring traveller comfort and enjoyment is our top priority, and we’re always dedicated to learn from guest feedback on ways we can further improve. If you have any more advice or need to contact us directly, please reach out to us at trip@hotspots2c.co.za. We agree 100%: Buffelsdrift is indeed a special highlight on this tour, and we’re pleased it was a memorable part of your trip. Thank you once again for sharing both the positive aspects of your tour experience and also areas where we did not meet your expectations. We are dedicated to deliver top rated experiences in every way. We look forward to the possibility of having you join us on another journey in future again - there are much more to explore in South Africa. Always keep exploring.
The trip was amazing - very friendly and compentent guide (Neville), he gave us very interesting information about the country, everything on time, comfortable driving! We can strongly recommend such a tour!
Thank you for the awesome 5 Star review! We’re so glad you had an amazing time on the 2 Day Wildlife & Safari tour, and we couldn't agree more—Neville is a real superstar when it comes to guiding and sharing all those interesting facts about our beautiful country! We're also happy to hear the trip was smooth and right on time. We'd also like to highlight that just by booking your #tour2cchange tour with us, you're helping us support community projects through our non-profit, 2Cchange. A portion of your tour fees were used to help fund selected local charity projects. Thanks for the recommendation, and we look forward to seeing you again for another adventure soon! Always keep exploring, -Team Hotspots2C
This was the most amazing trip - chosen for maximum flexibility, we opted for a private tour of two game reserves. Our guide, Andre, was outstanding: he was informative, super well organized, took care of everything, attent to every detail. The two game reserves we visited, Botlierskop and Buffelsdrift were different but both beautiful - we saw lions, elephants, Rhinos, giraffes, many impalas, nyalas and also meerkats. The accommodation in Buffelsdrift was beautiful, warm and comfortable - in upscale tents with everything you might need. We met very kind and helpful people at every step of the way, and we saw parts of the country we would have not otherwise seen. In summary, a highly recommended opportunity - we are considering doing a extended trip with the same operator in the future.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re always so excited to hear that a safari experience was such a highlight and that you enjoyed the flexibility of the private tour especially. It’s fantastic to know the guide's organisation, attention to detail, and care made such a positive impression on your overall tour experience too. We’ve shared your kind words with him and the team. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome you back for a longer adventure in future. From, Team Hotspots2C
