Megan was a brilliant tour guide who was extremely knowledgeable about the animals we saw and who navigated the roads and potholes like a true professional.

Truly an outstanding experience

Our very knowledgeable guide Martin did an amazing job of finding all the animals we could have wished for. Not only did we see the “big guys”, we saw more than one of them and Martin navigated prime position every time. We also saw animals we didn’t expect to see (Owls, eagles, hyenas, hare). I would highly recommend a night tour to anyone considering it.
