“Absolutely amazing safari. Thyl was very knowledgeable on many topics, from history to geography to geology and even the mechanics of the old style jeep. Fantastic day out. Well worth it.”
Josh
“We had to drive one hour to be able to attend this jeep ride, but it was totally worth it! Thylbert was very friendly and his English was spot on. He showed us places we could never access with our own car. All in all, it was a lovely experience and we would definitely recommend it to our friends and family!”
