Awesome!

The “Safari” experience was very educational and was at par with our expectations. The tour guide(Isaac), who picked us up from the hotel was very entertaining, not only in answering our questions about South Africa's past history; but also, about the current “state of affairs of South Africa. He was also very jolly/ happy person to talked to. In the Game Reserve, our driver was very informative about each animal’s characteristic and behavior, giving us better understanding of each animal.

Bumpy

Very massive. The cars bump a lot. No problem for us, but quite tough for people with back problems or my 83 year old father and 80 year old mother. Beautiful surroundings and saw all the animals. Had a flat tire along the way and had to change cars.
