5.00We were picked up promptly from our accommodation and taken into the Wetland Park. Saquili was a fantastic guide and gave us a lesson on Nguni language when we stopped for a hot drink and rusks. We saw lots of animals including a large herd of buffalo, hippos, wild a serval cat. Highly recommend this tour

Terrible Sunset drive due to Luk our guide

2.00After two days in the park doing self safari and 1 day at Imfolozi with a guide of this company, we booked this sunset drive to see the park in a different way and maybe explore different places where the animals tend to be at the peak hour for them. We were incredible disappointed. Luk (or Luke, I don’t know) our guide was the most un-interested safari guide I have ever experienced (after being in Tanzania, Namibia and Botswana I’ve had some game drive experience). At the beginning of the safari he took us to a couple of spots to see elephants, and he was driving so fast (for a safari) and not looking that we had to point out some animals. After entering 1 loop and seeing some elephant on the road he just decided to drive to Cape Vidal at 65kph with no stops. When we arrived there, he explained he had been so many times to sunset drives that it is not worth to enter any of the loops and he rather drive to cape Vidal amd on the way back we would see the game. While being in cape Vidal he did some comments regarding that the obligation of hiring black people was killing the park that they seemed incredible racist and white suppremacist. We drove back from Cape Vidal, once again at around 50kph with no stops or even tries to see any animals. Obviously, we didn’t see anything else, there might’ve been or might’ve not, but definitely at that speed it’s impossible to spot them. We know it’s not a zoo and sightings are not guaranteed, we don’t complain of not seeing animals, but definitely it’s impossible to see animals if your don’t try to find them, and this guy didn’t try a single time.

5.00Great price for a safari. They provide blankets and raincoats in case of weather (which we needed!). Refreshments also provided - coffee, tea, rusks, muffins, and juice and water. The tour guide Zama was friendly and knowledgeable about the species. He stopped for us to watch a little dung beetle because we were interested in it :) We were unlucky to not see elephants, etc because of the weather - no fault of the company, but check the weather and book accordingly!
The experience was...
