We didn’t know that it was a private tour which was a positive surprise. We had a very pleasant drive and a lot of fun during all the activities. Thank you to our tour guide Morne for making this trip so amazing!

Unbelievable experience with first class service all the way. Morne Hill was my guide and he was fantastic. High end all the way. Spectacular transport vehicle. To notch accommodations. Safari experience that would rival any other experience that would cost 10 times as much. Even got a trunk hug from and elephant!

Wonderful trip - both the Safari, the lodge and the stops along the way were better than expected. We saw lions, elephants, rhinos, hippos, zebras, giraffes and more. Our guide Vaughn was great, helpful and very knowledgeable.
