5.00Had a great trip! Well worth the money! Saw plenty of animals and even got a free pickup at my hotel far away from the city center
It is not serious or professional regarding the maximum number of places exceeded per vehicle.

1.00They take 10 passengers per vehicle when they are vehicles for nine people. Without being able to give my opinion, I found myself in front with the driver. We don't enjoy the view because we are too low. You have to walk on the seat when he stops to take photos. I saw several vehicles vehicles vehicles in the same situation as me. They are trying to save money when you pay a lot to be able to go on safari. I am disappointed in them. the guides are very good otherwise
Great.

4.00Safari experience is a must if visiting South Africa. If one is short on time, Pilnesberg safari can be an answer from Johannesburg.
