Guestbook |
Well the safari was excellent!! It surpassed my expectations. I thought the Kruger Park was a great place for a first safari. It was great to be in the thick of the wildlife there. It was also great to go somewhere which was so big and so when we saw the animals it was a real experience. I felt I learnt a lot about the african wildlife and birdlife. I also learnt a lot about the habits of certain animals and was given much information about their movements and habits.
Our guide was also excellent. T.J was incredibly informative and was always happy to answer questions. His knowledge was excellent and never was he not able to answer a question. His attitude was also very good and made it all very relaxing. He also prepared great dinners with lts of meat which was very much appreciated.
Our night drive was also very good although I think we were a bit unlucky as we did not see a great deal but our guide, Rodney, was great too.
We were also able to see how the park copes with the forest fires as there was one burning when we were there. This was very interesting. We were also made aware about the poaching that goes on there and how the rangers are trying to prevent it. It was sad to hear that there is still this kind of trouble despite the amount of information that is produced on the negative aspects of it.
Overall, I was very happy with the safari and will contact you again when I am planning another. I hope to do a longer one next time maybe up to Kenya!!
