Freddy was amazing!! He was so attentive and kind and I was so happy that he was our guide. He went above and beyond to find all the animals. We saw plenty of lions, giraffes, impalas, zebras, elephants, ostriches, birds - it was amazing! 100% recommend. Thank you Freddy!!

Unforgettable! It was such an amazing experience and Freddy was an extraordinary guide. He knew exactly how to find each animal and knew everything about their life and habits. He also provided a lot of very interesting information while we were driving and was a great person to spend the day with. He was very friendly, eager to share everything he knew about South African culture and the specificities of Durban. You can see all the animals are happy, they run free in their natural habitat and human beings are very respectful of them. Eg: when we left, a couple of rhinos were standing on the path, and we just waited for them to move at their own pace and when they wanted. That's so respectful and I'm really glad I could witness with kind behaviour. I saw so many animals with Freddy : kuddus, nyalas, waterbucks, wilderbeasts, impalas, mongooses, zebras, austriches, giraffes, rhinos, hippos and so many birds too. A day I will remember forever and I'm very thankful to Freddy too!
