Our guide had a lot of knowledge and the driver was amazing, when we got information that there was a lion, he drove fast so that we could get there in time, and he always managed to get as close as possible so we could see everything perfectly. The accommodation was great and the food was also very good. This trip was so wonderful that I will remember it for a long time.”
