Amazing Experience! - This was an incredible experience! Even though it was cold and rainy, it was absolutely worth it. I was able to see the aquaponics farm first and was amazed by how resourceful everything was there. Not a single thing goes to waste. Our guide on the safari was very funny and taught us so many things about the animals. Liezle from Explore Africa Tours was so kind. I was so thankful she told me to wear something warm today or I would have frozen! I had a small hiccup on pickup and she was incredibly nice about it and she adjusted to pick me up with ease. She was so personable and friendly on the drive to/from the safari and even took pictures of me at the site. Would 1000% recommend booking with her!

More than a Safari Trip - A great day hosted by Ian who provided an informative journey to the safari. The safari was amazing with a hearty lunch provided. It was great to have the added bonus of visiting the eco centre and animal conservation and seeing lions close up. The farm to table experience was truly

Great guide for super safari experience! - Our guide, Leisle (I hope I spelled it correctly!), was outstanding. She was kind and helpful answering questions as we made the drive. We could have rented a car but the experience wouldn’t have been nearly as good. She walked us in, helped us get our bearings, gave great advice about the tour, and even offered to be our personal photographer. We had some issues due to our last minute trip but she helped figure it out.

Three P’s - Professional, Phenomenal, Personable - My time was absolutely amazing! Ian by far was the best host that I have had in a long time to do a tour. We even had an exclusive experience with lionesses and getting to see how the chefs cultivate the farm to table experience. Ian was extremely informative about the area, South Africa culture and food. I would encourage anyone if you want a professional, phenomenal, and personable experience…… this tour and team is the ONE you want. Money well spent and definitely a major highlight of my trip!!!!

Safari Park - Great and friendly Driver and tour guide. Safari Park was set in a beautiful area. We saw all big five animals. If you have just a day to spend out of the city, it is worth the time.
