It’s my fourth time visiting a safari, it’s well worth it considering the price point. Though the caged lions made some parts of the safari feel like a zoo lol. I wasn’t lucky enough to see leopards and cheetahs. I saw the big four :) The pickup company is very terrible btw, I couldn’t get a pickup in Camps Bay, I had to get myself to President Hotel about 4KM away, I waited inside the rain for more than 30 minutes due to the fact that my contact information wasn’t released to the driver, he was at the hotel lobby for more than an hour waiting for me with a slip on my name on it, he couldn’t call, just depended on his instincts when I got to the hotel lobby. Terrible pickup service.
