The trip to the game preserve was a fantastic experience. The drive to the preserve was filled with amazing views and our guide Werner was awesome. He was full of fun facts and was even helpful with some issues that we were having in Cape Town. The stop at the vineyard was great and wine was very good. The preserve experience was fun. The buffet was great and the tour was filled with lots of animals and information. I would highly recommend this experience. Again I cannot say enough about Werner and all of his help.

It was extremely special sharing a safari with our family from the UK 🇬🇧 our guide was amazing and spent time explaining why the animals are doing what they do etc. An extra bonus was I bumped into my primary school buddy who I haven't seen for 40 years. Really special day all round.
