Great time! - I met Jacob through my concierge at the Four Seasons Hotel Westcliff. I was unsure of what to do during my trip to South Africa. Originally i only planned to explore Johannesburg one day and relax all the rest, but after the first day with Jacob, I knew i needed to plan more. Jacob made booking this excursion a breeze! Especially last minute. It was an incredible experience.I would definitely recommend!
