Amazing - Thomas was our tour guide for the day and was absolutely amazing. On the 2 hour drive from Cape Town to the Safari, he spoke about the history of Africa. There was nothing he didn’t know! Would totally recommend.

Waste of Time and Money - Worst place ever! Do not buy ever or you will waste your time and money. Go literally anywhere else. I would rather walk into the safari myself then go with this company. I never leave reviews because some people may of had bad days but no this company is so awful here that I wrote one, maybe two. Please save your money and don’t pick this company. I have never in my life felt so disrespected and mistreated.
