Awesome Half-Day Big 5 Safari

Oct 2025 • Family
Jabulani was an awesome host. He picked us up promptly from our accommodation. he did his very best to bet all of the big 5 for us - we were fortunate to see 4. He was very educational and we learned lots about the animals and park. The breakfast provided was adequate as well. Thank you.

Highly Recommended Big 5 Experience - Sifiso the best guide

Oct 2025 • Family
Our safari with Sifiso was simply amazing. He has a wonderful way of sharing his deep knowledge about nature and wildlife, and he made the whole experience exciting and enjoyable. We were able to see everything we had hoped for, and the elephant sighting was absolutely magical. It was a fantastic encounter that he managed with great care and safety, which made us feel completely at ease.

Unforgettable safari with Sifiso

Oct 2025 • Family
We had an absolutely fantastic safari with Sifiso. He is an outstanding ranger with so much knowledge, passion and kindness. He made sure we got to see everything we were hoping for and even more. The absolute highlight was a truly unforgettable elephant encounter that we will never forget. We felt incredibly lucky to have had this experience with him and can highly recommend a safari with Sifiso.

Superb experience

Sep 2025 • Family

We had an absolute blast on our safari tour with Fred as our guide! His knowledge of the animals and the park was incredible - he seemed to know every species, habitat, and behavior, and shared his expertise with us in a way that was engaging and easy to understand.

But what really made the tour stand out was Fred's passion and enthusiasm for sharing the beauty of the park with us. He took us on an amazing trip around the park, showing us all the hidden gems and secret spots that we wouldn't have discovered on our own.
