our guide Zara couldnt do enough for us and a cheetah on the hunt was the highlight, and worked great for a solo traveller like me, and out for a solid 6 hours.

our guide Jonas sorted everything for us and two rhinos by the waterhole was the highlight. For our anniversary so it wasnt too busy. Honestly better than the safari we did in phuket last year, and over easter break. Would book again no question.
