We enjoyed a fabulous afternoon drive with Elvis. Saw plenty of animals including Lion, Cheetah, Rhino, Elephant, Brown Hyena, Fish Eagle and various antelope. It was a lovely experience as we didn't ever feel like we were chasing after every bit of information that came through on the systems. At the same time we got to enjoy many excellent sightings and enjoy the environment. It was fabulous and highly recommended. Lovely to be on a smaller truck with not too many people.

We absolutely enjoyed the game drive. Our guide Peter is knowledgeable, funny and he made the experience a memorable one. We got to see 4 of the big 5, the Buffalo was elusive which is reason enough to go back soon.

We were very happy with our Game Drive! ELVIS was our driver, we asked for him by name, having ridden with him before, and we were not at all disappointed. The vehicle was in good condition, the ride began and ended on time. We were provided with blankets as it was a chili winter morning and we were not at all disappointed by what we saw. We were so pleased we recommended our friends ask for Elvis on a drive that they took a few days later and they were also quite pleased. Thank you for a wonderful time in South African bush country.
