All our bookings are closed to the specific individual, couple, family or group. We have the most comfortable Open Safari vehicles with a few finer touches to enhance guest experience, but ultimately what it comes down to is the quality and standard of the Guides that will take you on a journey through Kruger. All our Guides have been trained through FGASA (Field Guides Association of Southern Africa) and hold a variety of qualifications along with experience in the bush that puts them at the very top levels of Guides in the Park and far above what is generally accepted. We do this because we know that the most important part of any guests experience starts and ends with their Guide. 

Because of the standards that we provide our clients all our bookings are private and booked in advance to ensure availability for our clients.
