“Our experience began with the trip to the reserve. Frank and Ben made the journey enjoyable and informative. They told us about the history of the area through architecture and the landscape. They were very knowledgeable and well prepared. They took care of our needs and did a great job. Once we arrived at the reserve, we were welcomed with drinks and food, and the place was beautiful. The safari was wonderful, as we were able to see the Big Five and more. My experience was very satisfying. Five stars!”
