Good atmosphere, enthusiastic guide, Petros. Saw lots of animals. But no cats:( many elephants, that was great. - Great service, nice guides and workers. A good feeling of wilderness, and the uncertainty makes it very exciting. A very enthusiastic and knowledgable guide

Rhino and elephant day! - It was a very good experience, we saw rhinos from the start and elephants playing with water. It had giraffes and also wines to the leopard (a little far away), but it was there. Petros was an exceptional guide who knew the routes very well.

Perfect one day safari! - Pick up was easy and punctual. Rest stop was perfect, facilities were clean and we weren’t rushed. Petrus was an excellent guide! He’s extremely knowledgeable about the habitat, but also brings the right energy to the experience!

Fantastic one day safari experience - We did the one day safari from Johannesburg and had an amazing time. Our driver (Alex) who took us to the park was great and our ranger at the park (Vincent) was fantastic. We had low expectations of what we could see in one day but we saw so much! We were dropped at the airport in plenty of time so à smooth experience all around.
