Overall would highly rate this activity. Driver (Anwar) around the park was amazing. Fun, informative and made sure everyone got a good view of the animals. Transport there was OK, good ac thankfully as it was a very hot day. Trucks around the park could do with an upgrade but felt very authentic 😂 Saw so many animals including 4 of the big 5 but was really looking forward to seeing the leopards but heard afterwards that no leopards in this part of SA. Would highly recommend it to anyone, a great day.

A well managed trip to a structured game reserve where the animals have more freedom than in a zoo but the experience is quite structured to ensure the tourists see the desired animals. I’d say this is an iPhone safari rather than a great lens and camera opportunity. The animals are fed and encouraged to be close to where the vehicles drive so that you can get good snaps with your camera. Overall I’m not sure the hours driving out to the reserve were really worth the experience but the friend I was with wanted to see the animals and we had limited time - so it ticked all the boxes.

The safari is really great if you don't have much time. The trip there and back was super pleasant and the food was good too. We saw all the animals we wanted to see (elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, rhinos,…). The guide knew everything about the animals! Of course it is a huge area that is fenced in, but that means you have a good chance of seeing the animals and feeling like you are on a real safari. We really enjoyed it and would happily recommend it!
