We made sure you to get there earlier as we did with all our activities in Plett. They way we get a smaller group on the tours. We moved to NZ from SA many years ago and brought our daughter to SA for the first time to experience the African bush. This tour allowed her to get up close to the animals and having the tour geared for kids was very informative plus she got a certificate she can take home and show her friends in NZ.

Very helpful and enthusiastic guide, can't remember his name. It was for us a new experience to see such wonderful animals, and how they have been rescued, and being looked after so well. Well done to the team over there!
