Patrick was a wonderful guide and so informative. The trip was extremely well organised from beginning to end, pick up and drop off also included was a bonus. Patrick was so polite, helpful and spent almost all the time we were in the vehicle informing us regarding a huge range of topics both current and historical and related to the places we visited and South Aftica in general.
