Had a fantastic game drive with our guide. She was very knowledgeable with a great sense of humour and we got to see most of the amazing animals at the reserve, including a newborn Blesbok.

We had an amazingly nice time on the drive. Our guide was friendly and informed. She was intuitive regarding photo opportunities and never rushed us past an experience. We recommend making use of a game drive, as the vehicles can get into areas some cars can't. Sitting high helps to be able to spot animals lying in the grass. In a car you would not see them and drive right past them.

Really enjoyed. The ranger was so kind and I just wish that there could be shuttle services

We had the best time despite the heavens opening up half way through, our guide was just absolutely LOVELY in every way, and very informative. I am from SA now living in the UK, and I had guests from the UK, so I was very proud to share what SA has to offer just on our door step.
