“Luc was a great guide and driver. Safari was also very cool and a great experience. Especially if you wanna do one and you just around Cape Town like I was. The included Lunch buffet was nice. It’s just not really much time to hangout at the pool (you have only 30min in total).”

“It was awesome! Good deal for money. Excellent transportation. Knowledgeable guides onsite. I saw 4 types of Big Five (the leopard is not present in that park).

Thank you, guys. ❤️ Enjoyed it immensely.”

“Foi muito ruim a experiência. O passeio estava marcado para as 6:30 da manhã. Não apareceu ninguém. E estávamos acordados desde as 4:30 para não atrasarmos. Com ajuda da recepção do hotel conseguimos entrar em contato com a operadora e só nos enviaram o motorista as 9 da manhã. Detalhe importante fazer o passeio pela manhã é melhor.
