Disappointing experience - My previous review was for the Dinokeng Game Reserve half day drive. Very nice and professional driver and people, but no siting's of large animals. For what they charge, they should attempt to go to the known areas from previous tours where the larger animals have been.

Somewhat disappointing - First, I have to say that I understand that the animals are free roaming, and there is no guarantee of which wildlife we get to see. However, both the person who drove us and the guide made strategic errors that made our experience mostly disappointing. First the good things. The driver who picked us up in Pretoria was friendly, well informed, and the vehicle was very comfortable. The guide too was well informed, passionate about the wildlife and friendly. We saw rhino, antelope, impala, monkey, and jackals. The first problem was that we were picked up 90 minutes after the agreed time. We sat in the lobby waiting. He had traffic, but that should have been anticipated. We began the safari hours after our scheduled time. Then, the guide made a few strategic errors that greatly diminished our experience. He asked us at the beginning what we wanted to see. We said cats, zebras and elephants. He wasted 30 minutes trying to view a lion deep in the bush, and then took an unnecessary break that ate up the diminishing sunlight, and then informed us it was now “too late” to see the elephants. A more efficient use of time would have given a better experience seeing how late we began.
