It's all wonderful... - It all worked out wonderfully. The game drive in the open 4 x 4 vehicle was spectacular and our guide Alan was wonderful. We got to see a lot of animals, including all four of the Big Five (the leopard doesn't exist in this park anyway). The game drive is highly recommended and Alan in particular was great.

One of the best game drives. - This game drive was great! We saw all of the big 5 except the leopard plus more. Lions hunting. Even a sable antelope. Alan our driver was great. Very knowledgable and accommodating. He went above and beyond our expectations. He loves his profession and it shows.

Great safari experience with drafty arrival and departure - A great excursion in the 4x4 Safarjeep with sightings of all animal species. Our guide tried very hard to tell us everything about the animals and always found the right places. The only criticism is the choice of safari jeep for arrival and departure. 1 hour across the highway with this vehicle is definitely no pleasure.

Great safari with lots of animals - We had booked this English speaking safari although we would have preferred a German speaking one! Our tour guide Piere was very hard, we understood almost everything he explained to us and also saw a lot of animals also 3 of the Big Five! This tour is highly recommended!

Safari in Schotia Game Reserve - Safari was OK. Unfortunately, we did not see any lions (or only very far away and very poorly recognizable). The vehicle was good, though too tight for people with long legs. Pick up was not as indicated at the terminal but BEFORE the terminal. Since we didn't have internet, we waited in the wrong place. In addition, the pickup was 30 minutes earlier than agreed. This was only communicated to us shortly before the activity by email, which we saw only by chance (since no internet!). The driver was nice but drove a bit quickly through the park. All in all, the safari was OK. Wouldn't book them anymore.
