“Amazing, I really think this 3 day safari ticks all the boxes. The transfer to Kruger is long but it’s all well organised. You get an evening safari, full day safari, and bush walk. I think it’s great value for money. NOTE if you are booking this, inform the organisers you want to stay within the fenced area, guests like myself were shocked to find some tents are out in the bush with I was not comfortable with, nor was it advertised. If you give them enough notice, they can amend this for you.”
