Overall, 10/10 experience!
Dear Lauren
The trip was amazing!
The pickup and drop-off worked perfectly, everyone was very punctual. When we arrived in Hazyview, Emanuel was already waiting for us. Emanuel was an awesome guide; he was really motivated and told us so many things. He really went the extra mile, and we saw and learned a lot. He had a great program planned for us, and we even saw the rhinos that are really hard to spot. We saw so many different animals! The only animals we missed were the leopards (I saw one running away for a sec) and the cheetahs. Apart from that, we saw almost all the animals that even exist in the park.
We really enjoyed our time with Emanuel, you could really feel that the animals are his passion. He was also very open to our inputs, and he let us decide on the program and how long we wanted to stay on a game drive, etc. We had so many interesting discussions with him, also regarding life in SA in general.
I would absolutely recommend it to everyone, it was especially awesome that we had the car for ourselves so we would switch sides whenever there was a sighting. So many other cars were filled with a lot of people, so that is a huge advantage. We also loved, that we had the same guide for all the days and game drives, so we could get to know each other quite a bit.
The accommodation was also nice, cleaned daily. Only thing that we noticed was that there is no WiFi, not a problem for us, as we had a SA Sim, but might be good no mention for some people that depend on it. In the restaurants, there was WiFi.
The food was also great, we went to a lot of different restaurants and places, depending on the location of the game drive. So we were able to see a lot of different places and eat different food too.
Overall, 10/10 experience!
Thanks a lot for the great organisation!
