5.00We had an amazing safari guide, Fidelis. He was very knowledgeable, and I thought this was a very ethical safari. We never «chased» any animals, but was able to get close without scaring them. Everything went well, and we managed to see more animals than another group that had been there for several days. I would definitely recommend this tour operator!
