Happpyyyy - Vision Sapphire was very friendly and connected since the contact process. Listen carefully to your requests. The guide was very tense and tried to see the various animals throughout the safari, so we could see the entire Vick 5. The food was delicious and especially the hostel was all clean and friendly. Hot water. The car was just a little old, but consider the price.

It was a very special experience. - It was a fun experience. Thanks to a competent guide I was able to see all of the Safari Big 5. We recommend that you prepare one telescope per person. The telescope allowed me to see lions and corals very closely. The accommodation and meals were all good. I think it would be better if it were a private tour, so if you book a safari, we recommend that you go on a private tour.
