Amazing trip
5 - Excellent
  • Piyumi Balasooriya Lekamlage
“I had an amazing time. Highlights were Kruger national park and the Delta and the nighlty camp fires under the stars. It was a well planned trip mainly due to our tour leader Thabang, Lizzie our cook and Vincent our driver. There were long drives as per the itinerary but it was the only way to see the beautiful southern africa in a timely manner. Thank you for a great trip!”
Totally worth it!
5 - Excellent
  • Theresa Kaplee

One of the best tours I’ve been on.
