“Amazing experience. This tour is extremely well organised, with the transport to the border and then a guide helping though immigration and immediately starting the safari which was breathtaking. Lunch was in a very nice resort where the cruise started which was another amazing way to see loads of animals and relax after lunch. The fact that this was a small group made the experience even more enjoyable and without any delay. I would highly recommend this tour!”

We arrived at the border and were escorted through the crossing where we then met our guide Cobra who was amazing! Our jeep safari was fantastic and we saw many animals including lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes and countless zebra and impala.
