Simon was very pleasant and knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him would definitely recommend him for any services!
Thank you for your great review on Simon - we are so pleased to had a great experience.
The experience was amazing! Sunny boy our driver picked us up from our accommodation on time with no issues. Dan was our driver and even though it was very cold he is incredibly knowledgeable with the animals and not only do you see but you learn! Would book a tour with him any day!
Thanks for a great review - we hope to see you back again for that tour!
The guide added very informative context and historical facts as we traversed through the beautiful park seeing all but the lions which typically don't like to sleep during the heat of day.
We took the afternoon safari into Kruger National Park with Enoch as our guide. He was amazing! Even found a lion during the very hot summer season. Zebra, Buffalo, baboons, giraffe, kudus, warthogs! Service with Gap Tours is exceptional. What more can I say!
Dear Jean Wow - it seems that you had a great time with Enock! Thank you for taking the time in writing us this review. We hope to see you again in the future. Best Wishes GAP Tours Team
My lady friends and I recently visited Hazyview&we went for a drive @ KNP. EDWARD was our game ranger.In the vehicle there were 8 of us ladies from the Free State and a couple from Chilli. He took every opportunity educating us about every animal we saw. He was always polite&shared jokes making us relax&enjoy the drive. We later encountered an elephant which I believe felt we were somehow a threat to its young. It charged towards us&we were so scared. Edward calmly asked is to remain quiet&calm. He urged us to trust him as he wouldn't do anything to put our lives in danger. I applaud him for the respect&love he has for the animals in their territory. He managed to keep all 10 passengers calm&took us back safely. He was such a gentleman and I still cant figure out how he managed to keep is all calm in that situation. There was just something in his voice and the manner he conducted himself that I believe made us trust him.
Dear Size Wow! is seems like you had a great time with Edward! Thank you for your kind review. We are pleased that you had a great time with us. Edward is a great guide and very passionate in what he does. We will make sure to pass on these great comments to him. He will always do his best to keep the guests happy and safe in any situation. Now you have a lifetime memory to keep ☺ We hope to see you again in the future Kind Regards GAPTours Team
During our trip to Africa we stayed in the beautiful Kruger Park. My expectations of the Krugerpark have been greatly exceeded, it was fantastically beautiful. Edward, our GAP Tours travel guide, allowed us to see so much beauty. Not just the Big Five, but much and much more. I learned a lot about the animals and nature in Kruger Park. Edward’s enthusiasm is contagious and he conveys this well to our group. You can see that he enjoys his work a lot and has a lot of love and respect for the animals. He can quickly exercise the animals, so we too can see everything. Edward was very well in the group and we had a great time together! We have often been on safari in the afternoon. Once Edward came back with half the group on safari, because 45 minutes later a lion with cubs could be seen. The rest of the group jumped in the jeep and we drove quickly that way. This shows how much he loves doing this job and how much he wants us all to see this. Thank you Edward for this amazing experience I will never forget!!
Dear Erudde Wow! It sounds like you had an amazing time with Edward! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this amazing review. I will pass along this outstanding review to Edward. He is going to be very happy! He always gives more to make the trip unforgettable. We hope to see you again in the future ☺ Kind regards GAP Tours team
In the 5h Eduard felt showed us everything from the national park. The fact that you see a leopard and lion in a tour in less than 2h was surprising even to him. Very friendly guide with a lot of fun at work and punctual pick up. Only recommended!:-)
Wow! It seems that you had a very special day in the Kruger National Park. Thank you for your kind review. GAPTours team
