“The entire experience was brilliant from start to finish. Ebby, our tour guide and driver arrived on time and was so knowledgeable of all things Cape Town on our way there. I genuinely learnt so much about this city, things I wouldn’t have known had I not gone on this trip. We encountered animals up close during the safari and the buffet was great too. Can’t recommend it enough. Again, special shout out to Ebby who was brilliant throughout. The the small things that make the big difference.”

Loads of rhinos and close enough!! A baboon. Antelope. And lovely zebras. This isn’t a safari as in wild, it’s like a very very large zoo.”

“This is another long day if you are based in Cape Town, a two hour drive to the reserve. Two days previously we had received a scam text stating that you could only pay the entrance fee online prior to arrival. Luckily I didn’t fall for it. On arrival you are given a nice buffet and drinks before walking to your safari vehicle. This was a bit of a Disneyworld queue but it didn’t take too long. We got to see elephants, rhinos , hippos, zebra and giraffe amongst others but not the leopard. Three quarters of the way through there was a toilet stop with a delicious cool fruit…”
