Extremely dissatisfied. FAR to expensive. - The tour was totally overpriced. It cost € 180 per person and was not worth more than €60. We are extremely well travelled people who have quite a lot of safari and your experience. I have even organized such tours in Namibia and South Africa for small groups of photographers. We we were highly disappointed. Our driver was okay. He drove safely. Unfortunately I did not see that Get your guide was offering the same tour including the cultural village and the reptile house whereas we were expected to pay extra. The safari tour was just a drive round an enclosed area. Definitely nothing for experienced safari travellers.

Worst experience ever - Firstly, I paid for a private tour for myself and my visitor. This did not happen. More people was included. (to save costs) I paid for a 4 x 4 experience. The vehicle that fetched us was a Corolla Quest with absolutely no ground clearance. The route chosen to arrive at the game park was ridiculous. 100's of speed bumps travelling at 20km an hour for more than an hour and a half. On arrival, I expected to change vehicles for the game drive but this did not happen. We actually went on the game drive using a Corolla Quest. That poor vehicle was nearly destroyed....Game drive was over within an hour due to the vehicle not being able to cope with the terrain. All passengers paid for a full day experience which according to us included Tala Game Reserve, National Lion Park and Phezulu Cultural Village but this was not the case. We were later told that Phezulu Village is now optional and we have to pay again. We eventually had to cut our losses and return home without going to Phezulu Village. We paid for a 10 hour day and got about 4 hours for our money.
