★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 10 reviews · 8 hours · from $180

“The trip did not comply with the description provided. Had I known that once we saw the animals on safari that the tour was over, I wouldn’t have booked the tour. We did not stop for lunch and go out in the park again, as stated in the description. We left the park after approximately 2.5 hours after we started with the rationale being that we saw the animals and that was it. Very disappointing and neither the driver nor tour manager provided a satisfactory response to our disappointment. We did not want to book another tour with them”

Your English-speaking guide drives a pop-up-roof safari van through elephant country, past Aruba Dam and Mzima Springs, with an overnight lodge stay. Guides named Benjamin and Samuel have received especially warm praise.

“La pire expérience que nous ayons vécue ! Notre guide a passé la journée presque uniquement sur son téléphone, sans réel intérêt pour le groupe il se contentait juste de nous conduire devant les animaux et parler avec ses camarades, sans même lui donner des infos sur les animaux, tels que estimation de vie, qui est le mâle ou la femelle… . On nous a annoncé que la nourriture n’était pas incluse, alors qu’elle l’était — mais impossible de vérifier, donc nous avons passé la journée sans manger et n’avons eu qu’un dîner.
