He made everything incredibly easy — communication was clear, the meeting point was explained perfectly, and transport was smooth and stress-free. We felt completely taken care of throughout. The tour itself was amazing. Everything was so well organised, and the food was absolutely delicious — such a highlight! It was worth every penny.

Be aware that while the food is free, any drinks you order with lunch does have a charge (but it’s VERY minimal). Our safari guide Trevor was AMAZING! We saw 4/5 Big Five animals and he made sure to turn our jeep so we all got great views and great pictures. The animals all seem very happy and while contained, have so much room to roam. The presence of babies for several species indicates they are happy and living life. The ride is BUMPY…”

“Very enjoyable day out which I would highly recommend. Abdul was fantastic - super knowledgeable and informative and great fun. He must have done this tour a massive number of times but there was not even an inkling that he was "tour guide weary" or going through the motions. Quite the opposite. He seemed to love imparting knowledge and seemed present and interested in all of us. Quite special! The views were incredible around the valleys and the food at the Berber home probably my best meal of the week away. Thank you so much team!”
