  • Truly a bucket list experience! The people! The guides and drivers on our trip were exceptional and it was amazing to share the experience with our fellow travellers. Moses, George and Omary made the trip so memorable with their knowledge of the animals, the reserves and villages we visited - it was the trip of a lifetime on which they made us feel so comfortable.
