★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 795 reviews · from $60

“For first-timers, this can be a great experience The driver was kind and attentive The organisation is not very good. One gets the feeling that it's all about tourists leaving as much money as possible (l can understand that.) The bashing is fantastic! Try everything you can! We've been on a similar safari, it was better, but it had the novelty charm. That's all, it was not worth this time.”
