It was all about our guide, Tiki. Great knowledge of the country - wonderful communicator - chose beautiful and diverse routes to and from Kruger - amazing eye for spotting animals and birds - top notch cook. 25 Rhinos along with the other 4 of the big 5! What's not to like?

EXCELLENT!! THE TOUR LEADER WAS THE MOST INFORMED LEADER IN ALL MY TRAVELS. MADE MY TOUR A HIGH LIGHT OF MY SIX WEEK TRAVEL THROUGH SOUTH AND WEST AFRICA. WILL RECOMMED THIS TOUR AND TOUR LEADER VERY HIGHLY. P.ROQUEMORE

Great value for money. Our guide Gerhard was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. It ended up just being us and another couple, making the group an intimate 5 people including the guide. This made for a more personalised tour with opportunities to spend more time game driving, which we were there for! Accommodation in the National Park and transportation by air conditioned van were very good. Food at the National Park was a bit to be desired, but that was beyond the control of the tour operator! Highly recommended.

Kruger is a beautiful place to visit and I would recommend it to anyone. However, based on my recent experiences with the tour agency/s I would not recommend this tour to anyone. If you want to go to Kruger, you are better off looking for options like self driving and then taking an open jeep safari, or look for another travel company. We had a horrible driver/guide who practically refused to provide us with the promised closed safari in an attempt to 'hard sell' the open jeep safari. This was a classic case of 'bait and switch'. Once we were at the park the first day, she refused to look for animals on the pretext that she cannot drive and look for game at the same time and that she was afraid to take the vehicle to the gravel roads! After hearing her outburst, I informed her that we just had a closed vehicle trip in Pilanesberg and that our driver/guide for that trip drove slowly and spotted all the animals for us and took his vehicle to the gravel roads as well. To this she responded with a very rude remark. She said and I quote, “ OK, I will find the animals if you do the driving. I cannot do both”. I was very insulted and taken aback, because isn’t the job of an ‘expert game ranger’ to drive and help customers spot animals? If I had to drive and my husband were to spot the animals why did we pay to take the help of a so called expert?
Since she was obviously not going to help us spot any animals, we tried to do that on our own. However, it became very difficult since she was driving very fast. My husband requested her to slow down so that we could better spot the animals. To this she responded again in a very rude tone,” I am following the speed limit and I am allowed to go at 50kmph”.
The point is that in the tour brochure the open safari is given as an option, but if the closed safari driver refuses to provide us with the services as promised, then it is really not an option, is it? We feel thoroughly cheated.
