Our tour guide, Simon, was simply fantastic

Gudrun,

We are now back in Barbados after a delightful holiday in South Africa. The Kruger part of the visit was the highlight of the trip, although we thoroughly enjoyed Cape Town as well.

Our tour guide, Simon, was simply fantastic. A great spotter of animals, he made it possible for us to see lions, elephants, cheetah, giraffes, zebras, baboon, buffalo, warthogs, eagles and vultures and numerous species of antelope from very close, as well as a black rhino and many other animals at a distance. He's also extremely knowledgeable about African wildlife and communicated his huge enthusiasm for the animals.

We enjoyed the excitement of setting off in the morning not knowing what we would see that day. He was also a great cook and a highly skilled driver, and was very attentive to all our needs and comfort. I don't know where you found him, but hold on to him. To top it off he tormented us with difficult riddles on the drive back to Jo'burg.

The accommodation at Skukuza camp was just right for the occasion and we enjoyed the brai (washed down with SA wine) that Simon cooked up for us the first night on our balcony. On the whole a wonderful safari and tremendous value for money.

Many thanks and I'll recommend Wild Wings to all our friends.

Peter
