We went on two trips in one week. Same driver for both. The entire experience excellent. Communication, collection, the drive and a great cooked lunch both days. Viewing excellent. Would recommend - we did it twice.

We had an incredible experience from start to finish. Anja was fantastic to work with— organized, responsive, and made the whole process completely stress-free. Everything, including transportation to and from, was handled. A special shoutout to our guide, Tman—he was absolutely amazing! He’s incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and really made the experience unforgettable. He answered all our questions and truly kept our interests in mind throughout the safari. What stood out most was how much time he took to show us not just the big animals, but also the smaller creatures and local vegetation. His passion and respect for nature really came through. We saw so much beautiful wildlife and left with stunning photos and unforgettable memories. Lunch was also a lovely touch and well appreciated. Highly recommended!!!
A truly magical experience, a real animal sanctuary, the visit is done respecting wildlife it s not overcrowded etc. Our driver was really safe over the 2h30 road to the park. Our guide, Triminate was extremely funny and knowledgeable. We saw the big 5 as promised, from a comfortable 4x4 vehicle and we felt safe at all times. Our lunch was simple but nice. Everything was run smoothly from 5:45 am to 6:15 pm door to door from our hotel. I would highly recommend this tour in small group.
We had an unforgettable experience with Petros. He was incredibly knowledgeable, funny, and made sure we didn’t miss a thing. Thanks to his sharp eye, we spotted not one but two leopards—which is incredibly rare! He also led us right to a herd of elephants that came up close, along with many other amazing animals throughout the tour. Something we really appreciated was that he provided us with blankets. Whether that’s standard or just something thoughtful he chose to do, it made a big difference on a chilly, windy day—especially since none of the other tours we passed seemed to have them. It really showed his attention to comfort and care. Petros truly made the experience special, and we’d definitely do it again with him as our guide. – Robyn & Queron
