All big five, great driver and amazing tour

An absolutely phenomenal tour from start to end, Evans was our driver and was super chill, super funny and so good at spotting animals. Many times we saw things other groups didn’t as he negotiated with park wardens and others to get us the good information. Came as a solo traveller but met the most amazing group of people and made some lifelong friendships in the process.

Fantastic tours

Edgar was an excellent guide. Knowledgeable about a variety of topics - the area, animals. birds. Friendly and a skilled driver. The lake tour also had an excellent guide. Edward knew where to find the hippos and an extremely large variety of birds. I could spend a week learning from each of them.
