As always 1st Zulu Safaris does not fail to deliver. Whilst we did not get to do the wild cat sanctuary due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control, Mr Sotiris and Mr Mntambo still offered a fantastic alternative. The estuary board cruise was well worth the time and money. We had our full of hippos in the water as well as crocodiles and the odd Fish Eagle. Thereafter Mr Mntambo gave us ample time to enjoy a lunch at a local restaurant. We felt that we had an awesome time and did not feel rushed at all. The afternoon was spent looking for rhino (which we did find) in the Cape Vidal game reserve. Again a job well done to 1st Zulu Safaris. We look forward to our next one.
