4+4: EXCEEDED Expectations - Animals are the stars of the show. They came out to show off and when they didn’t our awesome guide tracked them down for us Speaking of our guide, he shared so much interesting knowledge especially about the symbiotic relationships of the animals in the park. All in all exceeded our expectations. Lunch stop included is a nice touch.

Sensational - Everything went very well. I would like to thank the team for their rigor and absolute professionalism, the schedules were respected, we were able to enjoy every minute of the safari. The reserve is magnificent, we were able to observe 3 of the big five. I can only recommend the safari with moafrika, the value for money is there.

Good value for money and worth booking - The tour ran successfully being picked up from our hotel on time. It was nice splitting the day up into 2 halves, stopping for a pleasant lunch in between which is included in the price. Didn’t see any large cats but I know this is never guaranteed. Didn’t stop us enjoying the day though
