“Eenvoudig via de app afspraken geregeld. Keurig op tijd opgehaald. Het vervoer, de informatie, entree tot park verliep conform afspraak. Het onderlinge netwerk van gidsen helpt enorm om interessante beesten te zien. Enorm genoten van beesten buiten de bekende big five. (Die we ook hebben gezien) Een jacht van wilde honden op een impala, zwangere hyena etc. Daarnaast veel aanvullende informatie over het Krugerpark, planten, vruchten, vogels. Voor ons (55,55,22,25) een absoluut hoogtepunt van onze rondreis.”
