Safari はとても良かった。ビールとナッツ、ビスコッティのサービスがあった。サファリガイドのエディさん頑張ってくれていました。 朝のお迎えとサファリまでの送迎、案内が不十分。

A thoroughly enjoyable day out on an authentic African safari. My guide, Taku, was very knowledgeable and was able to get very close to a number of animals thus making excellent viewing opportunities!

Wir hatten eine atemberaubende Tour entlang der Garden Route. Unsere Guides Clever (Safari) & Taku (Garden Route) waren äußerst freundlich und kompetent und machten unsere Tour zu einem echten Erlebnis. Die Tour führt durch die malerische Küste Südafrikas und beinhaltet viele tolle Hotspots und Fixpunkte. Auf individuelle Wünsche (Weinverkostung etc.) wurde dennoch Rücksicht genommen und waren die Guides überaus bemüht. Die Tour kann auf jeden Fall weiterempfohlen werden. Auch die Unterkünfte waren tadellos.

It is what it says - a hike! Fabulous scenery But no facilities anywhere from start to finish. No water was supplied as was stated. Guide did not know history of the area or flora/landmarks. Picked us up from the ‘unsafe’ area outside of the docks and had no board to show he was for us. We nearly got in another guide’s car! Very small car. 3 adults in the back and not air conditioned.
