“Jerry picked us up at 6am from Skukuza in his 9-passenger safari truck. Being the only guests made for a personalized experience. The morning was chilly, but he provided blankets for comfort. Throughout our 9-10 hour tour, Jerry was friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. We saw 4 of the Big 5: elephants (up close), lions, buffalo, and rhino. Watching curious hyena pups was a highlight. Jerry tracked animals well and used WhatsApp to coordinate with other guides to find lions. The truck was comfortable, though windy in the back (dress warmly for mornings). We stopped for breakfast and lunch at the same rest area with good, reasonably priced food. This tour…”
