Fantastic

Waldo_M, Jul 2024

We were lucky that we had a wonderful tour guide to help us. He was very energetic, jovial and took the time to explain everything in detail. He answered questions that we didn’t even know to ask. It was an excellent tour. Thank you, aviator.

Three day tour

This was by far my favorite experience on my trip to South Africa. Taariq was my guide. From the time he picked us up on Sunday he allowed us to modify our first day due to the fact we did it already. He listened to our likes. So we ended up at ghe botanical gardens and a winery. He is super friendly and honest has become a life long friend. He suggested the walk with the elephants. This was by far the most memorable experience ever. He even arranged for me to ride on the hood of the car. Also Liez the host at the lodge is a sweet heart. I will be requesting taariq again.
