Mdu was a terrific tour guide. He honored our request to find giraffes close up. It took 6 1/2 hours of searching the Hluhluwe Reserve and he found them. A group of 12 giraffes grazed 10 yards from us. Amazing trip, thanks Mdu!

The guide and staff were wonderful. The packed lunch also was great. We really felt connected to the information given by the guide on the social and animal sides of South Africa.
