Our group of eight American guests came to South Africa to work at our children's home Hopelands. During their stay, they wanted to go on a game drive and we knew that your service would be excellent. Last year, we also had American guests visit and we booked a game drive with your company. The experience was of a very high standard and your tour guide Reason, provided in depth and fascinating information about the animals. When we made our recent booking, we specifically requested Reason again and we were delighted that he was available to guide our guests once more. Once again he exceeded our expectations with his knowledge, professionalism and friendly manner. We will certainly be booking with your company again, as we expect to host more American guests in the coming months and in the new year. Please continue maintaining your high standards of service. Thank you once again for your friendly and outstanding service. Sharon Lamprecht Founder of Hopelands Village Magaliesburg - SHARON

It was definitely well worth the money we paid. DK was such a great guide and explained all the interesting facts about the animals not obviously known. Unfortunately, the weather was bad so we didn't get to see the other big 5 but we saw lions and cheetahs which was absolutely fantastic. I'll definitely be calling again with my family. - Tumisho
