Great trip with lots of lions! - We’ve had to extend our time in South Africa due to our flight being cancelled, so we’ve added a few day trips to see more of the country. This trip, hosted by Stephenson Adventures, was a lot of fun! Our tour guide Banele was a great host! He told us about the history of the area. We had an hour inside the park itself and got to see many lions.

Collins is truly a jack... - Collins is truly a jack of all trades. There is much more to him than meets the eye. He has a natural ability to retain factual information and deliver it in a way that is thoughtful and engaging. He may be subtle in his approach, but he is incredibly impactful. In our personal conversations, we could sense that we were speaking with someone who had depth — someone with a story. It is humbling how easy it is to get caught up in your own world, your own challenges, and your own perspective, only to realize how much larger the world truly is. Our ride with him was amazing. Now, onto our safari guide, Moosana. This man absolutely knows what he is doing. We loved every single moment of the safari. We were fortunate enough to see all the animals, and he went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and welcome. Not only did we experience incredible wildlife sightings, but we also learned fascinating facts along the way. If you are thinking about booking this tour, stop thinking and just book it. You will not regret it. And one piece of advice — bring money to tip your drivers and tour guides. They work incredibly hard at what they do, and they deserve every bit of appreciation you can offer. Their dedication and effort truly make the experience unforgettable.

Safari with kittens - A legal experience. You see a lot of delinos in a grated truck. We leave sometimes only in specific areas where they are locked up. When free, for safety, truck well closed.
