The drive to and from the game reserve was excellent and pleasant due to our Driver, Remy! The time flew bye and he was quite the source of information about S. Africa, Cape Town and Aquila! My wife and I were both impressed with his knowledge of history and South African culture.

We stayed for two days and honestly we were very disappointed with the quality of the rooms the food and the availability of the animals. The animals were basically fed a times and that’s when everyone was herded onto buses to see them. No sign of a Leopard and the lions were in a big caged area. Frankly it was a lot of money and we were underwhelmed!

Visiting this safari was an eye opener especially with Friends on a sunny day. The drive to safari was exceptional with baboons almost blocking the roads at the tunnel. We did saw 4 of the big 5 but couldn't see the leopard. This is an ideal place for a family outing as it has great accommodation facilities. Sleeping in the bundu with wild animals roaming about close to our lodge was a rare experience. The downside downside was the food which was mainly seafood and not the wild animal meat we were promised. But the summed up experience was good. Great location would not mind going back.

A great tour with a great experience with amazing drive. The drive was long but we did not get to notice it as there is an outstanding landscape to prepare us for the safari. We saw the hippos and 4 of the big 5 which was more than what we expected. And the food was so much of great importance it made us feel we are treated African royalty. It was a buffet and the fish we had was out of this world. We did not only see the leopard but we were more than satisfied with the day outing. \this is also a great sleep to sleep over the guest houses and lodges are so neat and clean but well built to blend with the environment. Definitely come back with family an friends. Adios to Raw Tours. Thanks to the guide/driver Eric he was so cheerful.
