5.00Our driver was responsive with messaging about pick up time, he was knowledgeable about the site and access. The overall experience was great, saw decent amount of animals on the game drive and the hike to the waterfalls was slightly strenuous but very rewarding. Overall a solid experience for the price and would recommend.
