Excellent Trip with Khutso! - The trip to the animal park was a fun experience seeing them up close from the truck.
Pretoria was also very interesting to see and I liked the statue of Mandela / the Union buildings specifically.
Highlight of the day was spending time with my guide Khutso. He was very well informed and answered any question I had.
Great conversation/company as well throughout the trip.
Highly recommend
Thanks Khutso!

Eye-Opening Experience - We had an excellent guide, Jannus. He was fluent and an incredibly knowledgeable guide. He showed us everything this tour had to offer like the Voortrekker Monument and all of its history, Kruger Museum and so much more. I recommend this tour to anyone as it's costs little and is worth a lot more then what is spent.
