“Great Safari, good choice for us - The safari was an unbelievable experience for us. Everything was well organised by Jackson and our guide Freddy / Fred (aka. Fredimir :D) did a great job. He was very motivated to make the best out of our visit and we had a lot of fun together. The schedule was still flexible and we were able to choose between different options. We also booked the Waterfall-coffee-and-hot springs tour with Jackson. All guides were friendly and able to give us some knowledge about the surrounding. The food was nice and always enough. We are happy:)” - Reviewed on 2023-07-09
